Caught up on "Heroes"

[fenchurch]

And is it Monday yet?

Yeah, I'm still loving this show...

Missing these two episodes when they aired was just about the only bad part about being in England for the past two weeks... thankfully, I never had time for more than a light skimming of my flist, so it was fairly easy to avoid spoilers. But that does mean I've missed out on a lot of the discussions...

I hate cliffhangers.

Okay, maybe "hate" in the sense that I actually kind of like them. They're only this frustrating if they're good, and it does add marvelously to the suspense... but it sure makes seven days seem like a very long time.

I'm definitely liking how the writers are handling things. If they don't have the season plotted out already, they're doing a really good imitation of it!

Hiro remains my favorite... and while I think Current!Hiro is cute and huggable, Future!Hiro is actually kinda hot!

Still no sign of Leonard Roberts... he's got to show up eventually!

Nathan Petrelli is possibly the biggest jerk in the world. I didn't care for him much when he first showed up and now I think he deserves everything it looks like he's going to get.

And oooo... I like what it looks like they're doing with Peter. A really interesting gift!

Mohinder is still very pretty, but doesn't seem to have the brains needed to be the gifted geneticist he's being billed as.

Do we even have a name for Conviently!Helpful!Neighbor!Chick? 'Cause if we do, I completely missed it.

And another "ooooooooo" for Alter!Nikki's tattoo... I certainly wasn't expecting that! I did like that we got to see the transition and see Alter!Nikki take control. I'm also strongly suspecting, now, that she may be guilty of the things that her (ex)husband was accused of doing.

So, um, is it just me... or does it seem like it's a really good thing that Claire is indestructible considering how friggin' breakable she apparently is?

Now I'm really worried about Officer Matt... and wondering which one, Nikki or Nathan, is getting hauled away by the Creepazoid Squad (*pleasebeNathan*pleasebeNathan*). And just how are they finding all the "heroes" anyway?

The thing that's impressing me the most, though, is how the writers are weaving the web connecting everyone tighter and tighter while making it seem absolutely natural... the characters are obviously being drawn together, but so far nothing has been too far out of the realm of coincidental, aside from Hiro doing some time traveling -- and just how far in the future did he come from that he can speak English so well, with an American accent?

Did I mention I can't wait for Monday?

I just thought of this, so it's not well fleshed-out, but I wonder if there's some kind of destiny component -- like Claire was supposed to die but her powers are messing it up.
