heroes_meta: Heroes 3x04, "I Am Become Death"

Mohinder:

Of course there's an abusive husband right next door to Momo now that he's all supah. Because we've seen so much of Isaac's neighbours before this. I always had the impression the loft was surrounded by abandoned apartments, what with the drug-addict artist, the murder, the attempted murder, the didn't-really-stick murder, and all the screaming and breaking-of-shit. I wish they hadn't had the woman tell Momo "please don't hurt him", because then my brain brought up the giant Psychology Folder and ran through it, from self-esteem to Stockholm's to the dogs that got electrocuted but never learnt they could just get out. If you want me to deal with the whole abusive-husband mess, I'm going to need more than a walk-on-walk-off character.

Maya/Mohinder, the new Simone/Isaac! In under 5 minutes, they went through the entire relationship of S/I. I was half expecting Maya to say, "So you think you can paint the future? Paint one without me in it." I demand a Maya & Simone standoff.

"..find the answers. For you." -> Momo's a slimy liar. Trufax.

"The formula is transforming me." -> Omg! The formula's doing what it's supposed to be doing! I'm so shocked!

I don't understand how he pays for the art-studio-turned-lab. Momo's obviously not working for the Company anymore, and he's definitely not driving a taxi, and unless professors in India get paid in giant bags of gold... Or maybe they have a system - or even better, a running bet - like the Word of the Day, only the Word of Academia, and your pay's related to how often you can slip the word into your lectures. Momo's word, obviously, is cockroach.)

Mohinder, the Phantom of the Labloft.

Somewhere in my notes, I have simply, "Duh, Momo!!!" Unfortunately, and for reasons I'm sure you're all aware of, I can't pinpoint the exact scene where this comment would apply.

Tracy:

Please, no human cloning and genetic experiments and Brave New World stuff. That's a whole different SF world, and a whole other can of worms.

Wait, so there's Tracy, Niki and Barbara. And Jessica was what, chopped liver? (...actually, maybe she was.) I always thought Niki and Jessica were twins, because Niki seemed to have no trouble in putting Jessica's personality to her face. But even so, didn't she get the gene therapy?

"We had no right. We were arrogant, selfish. Human." -> I love the sentiment, I just think it was terribly stilted the way it was both written and delivered. This is what every, "Oh noes! Evil mad scientist's creation gone mad!" SF story is about. You don't need to say it.

"Take it away." -> Tracy, I know you're into politics and not science, but what part of genes do you not understand?

We've seen Tracy's power freeze a phone solid so that it shatters into a million pieces. This is sort of like what liquid nitrogen can do to things. Now, let's keep in mind that liquid nitrogen is at −196 °C, that Tracy can't control her powers and that the human body doesn't take too kindly to being frozen. Shouldn't the doctors arm, like, fall off after being Tracified? Or at least show severe frostbite? 'Cause she can freeze things, but nowhere have we seen her power to include unfreezing.

Why isn't Tracy going to see Barbara?

Peter, Peter and the Futchah

"There's always good people. Always."
"How can you be so naive?" -> Future!Peter, finally saying what fandom has been wondering all this time. *fist!pump*

My notes for the next bit are a bit scribbled and mainly consist of names, plus signs and a hell of a lot of exclamation marks.

For example, I've got "Sylar Gabriel + Peter!!!" Once can only conclude that I liked this interaction, and perhaps that finally seeing Peter/Gabriel onscreen, after all those awesome Lana @ capn_mactastic fics, made me over-squee.

Would Future!Peter come back to life once outside the influence of the Haitian? (Assuming the bullet isn't lodged in his life-switch.)

Oh, Peter. It's been four years and the world's changed in huuuuge ways. And you just assume Mohinder's still going to be working at Issac's old art studio?

Blue fire? Subtle, Peter. Real subtle. Remember to stand on your tippie-toes! Sylar might hear you coming!

Hee! Peter called him Gabriel! Acceptance complete!

Claire:

I also have "Claire + Haitain!!!" jotted down, but in this case I think it was the partnership rather than the sexin'.

Oh Claire... Good or bad, we can always count on your mascara. Gods, woman, how do you even open your eyes with all that weight?!?

"Get your head on straight." -> Zomg! Beheaded!Claire foreshadowing!

Bondage and bloodplay. My, how little Claire's grown.

When she was cutting Peter up, I was really hoping that she'd go for the face and (re)-give him his scar in an awesome loop of paradox. I might need to write this scene out.

Hiro and Ando:

"Let me out!" -> So adorable.

Omg! You know what I need to see? Sylar outside of Hiro and Ando's cell. Because of the mindfuck. It would be epic.

Stop putting vents in cells! People don't need huge, body-sized vents to breathe! And with all those powers people might have, I'm sure one of them wouldn't be vertically challenged.

Ando lifiting up Hiro's head when he bows in apology for failure is the best way to sum up their relationship. Go Ando!

Sylar

"Sylar's power is dangerous." -> Surely you mean the plural, powers, yes? Unless his original power is dangerous which I'm not believing because that was the lamest cop-outs of cop-outs ever. I'm not liking druggy!Sylar at all. It was amusing in the alleyway of Season 2, but if you're telling me that the only reason he's going about killing people is because his supah speshul ticking power says so, I'mma gonna scream. It totally cheapens the psychology, which is 90% of why I like him.

Sylar likes waffles. He's officially a good guy now.

"Well, that's a magic word." -> I may have died from teh cute of ZQuinto.

Sylar's reaction to "Omgwtfbbq where's your scar?!?"
- It was awesome. I love it when parent's are all, "Now son, mom and dad are going outside to scream bloody murder at each other. You just eat your waffles and be a good boy. Holler at me if you need more syrup."
- Ack! The Death of the Smile! (Not the Smile of Death, that was last episode.)

"I'm the boogeyman!" -> Yes you are, darling. Forget about Matt's dad. I certainly have.

"My name is Gabriel." -> My brain totally superimposed *hands to the glass* "My name is Sylar!!!" Gabe-babe breaks my heart a bit.

You can tell Sylar loves breaking the sibling news to Peter. He does it twice and with so much glee. Shame the second time he does it Peter's face isn't the level of 0.0 that he'd wish it.

I love that Sylar is almost always in control of himself... Omg! Sylar lost control! It's the end of the wor-- Oh. It really is. (For all Costa Verdians, at least.)

"remember what I was, can be" -> Although this, if my scibbles are right, was said by Sylar, I think it applies to Future!Peter and his scar.

I know a lot of people are wondering who Noah's mother is. I don't really give a rat's. What I want to know is why Sylar's raising him in the Bennett household and why he's called Noah. My personal canon is that Sylar isn't the biological father, but rather raising the boy on the behest of the Bennett's. In my more crackier times, I pretend it's Claire's kid.

Nathan:

"God's work? I'm picking out desks!" -> I was amused. I was even more amused later, when I watched Bones and Booth's struggles to get The Chair.

Nathan's incredulous, "H-wha?" at hearing he might be President was the most adorable thing ever. (Not that he'd been seriously considering the possibility a year before, but hey.)

Also, nice shots. You know the ones: the ones with the pants. From behind. Niiiice.

That's one huge ring, Nathan.

Matt, Molly and Daphne:

I was a bit annoyed with Matt saying, "your mother" to Molly about Daphne. Did Momo ever get called "your father"? I think not. The poor kid's on her third set of parents - I hope she got a discount.

Matt and Whatshisname Usutu:

"Carl Young, Analytical Psychology." Booyah!

Matt wandering around the African bush alone = badbadbad
