Okay, technically I'm a serial killer.*

heroes_meta: Heroes 4x05 "Tabula Rasa"

Crazy Cop:

- You go armed to a carnival? When off duty? Is that legal? Are you even carrying your badge?

- Um, Samuel basically just says that he habitually gives people in the law enforcement bribes, and you're okay with that? But a man walks down the street covered in dirt and you threaten to bust a cap in his fine deriere? Man, you crazy!

Claire:

- I don't buy the whole, "Your power doesn't work for the sniffles," schtick. Her power is regeneration, for one, so it makes things as they were when they were a-ok and then they stop. When she cuts her hand and the skin grows back, she doesn't end up with horrid massive growths (i.e. skin cancer) precisely because the skin knows when to stop. So saying that giving her blood to Hiro will only make the brain cancer grow faster is just..gah. By that twisted logic, as Claire's power evolves, she'll be a walking tumour. I don't get it.

- Claire, I get that you're a massive Daddy's Girl and your dad is eating cereal and burnt toast and got chucked out by his wife and all that but would it kill you to go see your mom once in a while?

Hiro and Emma:

- Oh hell no. No more Charlie. I love Charlie, but I swear to gods if Hiro tries to save her ass again after a whole episode of that failing massively and on the heels of Mr Photocopies His Ass Over Forty Times, then I am going to make someone squeel like a pig.

- "Your lips move differently," made me go :D but then Hiro's exaggerated and slow lip moving made me go a bit D: but them Emma went all Talk To the Hand and there was yay.

- Hypocrytical bossy nurse warns Hiro to stay in bed just after having watched Hiro's magic show. Remind me never to get sick in the States.

- Magic trick Hiro was awesome. Suicidal, but awesome.

Bennett, Peter and Deathboy:

- One of us, one of them! I cheered! And then wondered why I'd never considered this pair as a team. But then Peter got shot because he was an idiot and I knew why.

- "Not what you would call a support group." :D

- Bennet is smart, yet stupid. "We'll just tell the cops your parents died from gas poisoning and you've just gotten home and found them this way: dead and horribly, terribly, weeks-edly decomposed. Yup, it's an air-tight cover story."

- At one point, Bennett does touch Deathboy's skin.

- So Peter accidentally got Emma's power, but he had to make an effort and knew he'd gotten Deathboy's power? I call wtfery.

- Peter laughing nervously after waking up from the dead was the most adorable thing ever and that sentence does not sound creepy weird at all.

- Bennett has a quarter jar. That is...adorable.

- "It's been a long time since I've teleported." Oh Peter, you're still adorable sometimes.

Samuel, His Crazy Carnival Family and Sylar:

- Sylar's so gonna whoop your ass, Samuel.

- Samuel's Oirish accent does little to improve the opening monologue.

- Sylar belly! \o/

- I absolutely adore Gabriel Version 2 :)

- "Call me Nathan," was gold. I miss Nathan :(

- What's up with the fuzzy vaseline-coated lens in these scenes?

- Aw, Samuel tells Sylar he's special and he has a family! Just what he's always wanted! He's very special...just like everyone else. Which kinda takes the glow out of it, don't you think?

- The male-posturing seemed particularly out of place because Darth Toad-Maul went absolutely over the top with it. Now, the show-down was cool, but the premise behind it was lousy. I never really got the sense that Darth was that gaga over Topless Lady, or even that Sylar and Lady were getting particularly chummy. So from my view it was like Darth was getting his knickers all in a twist because Sylar deigned to interact with a female carnival member.

- Darth Toad-Maul hate face = hilarious win.

- How many times are we going to watch that Mother&Gabiel scene?!? Oh gods, that Room of Mirros scene felt like hours of filler with Sylar losing his balls in the worst recap ever. There are so many ways they could have spiced that up. (And Sylar screams like a tiny little child, which is something I could've lived not knowing.)

- "Family accepts. Family forgives." Family makes you feel ultra guilty about them helping you because you brought a cop to their door. (What the fuck did they think would happen?) Family takes you in and warps you into a cold-blooded killer. Family calls you a lion in worst metaphor ever.

- I just realized that Sylar's power is the ultimate "i c wut you did thar".

- Dear Samuel: Lick more envelopes! Signed, Sickle.

- All this hubbub on the "real" Sylar and the whole Nathan-Gabriel-MindwipeGuy-Sylar is making me wonder just exactly what the real Sylar is like? I'd love for him to develop into a whole new character (with touches of the old ones, fine) and not revert back to someone he was before. It's like, we'd get to see who the little boy would've grown up into if he'd had half a chance (instead of his mom and Chandra). This also makes me very upset that people are trying to manipulate Sylar. Let him be his own adorable, innately good self. (Come on, tell me MindwipeGuy isn't Good, I dare ya.)

A (Very) Quick Word on Recent Supernatural Episodes:

- Yes, Sammy talking Spanish was awesome and I absolutely loved his correction of "mucho" for "muy". The Dominican woman's appalling broken Spanish for someone who had a home to go back to in the Dominican Republic? Fail.

- The crack in the wall that snakes up after the boys get pinned up by Possessed!Jesse'sMom is Very Obvious Symbolism.

I haven't had time to recap Heroes yet but that's pretty much my thoughts. XD

I love Gabriel 2.0. I hope he stays. In fact, I hope for a show down between him and Matlar for Great Justice. :D

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

I'd love to sit Gabe 2.0 down and bake him some pie ♥ and omg yes, can he please go on a showdown of Great Justice rampage?

[fallen-iceangel.livejournal.com]

I just have this hope/dream of the other Heroes meeting Gabe 2.0 and being all 'OMG SYLAR D:' and Gabe being all "No I'm Not! D:' and them being all 'Wha?' then Matlar's like 'S'up?' and everyone's all 'Oh Noes'.

And somewhere along the line, there's sex. Preferably slashy sex but that's unlikely (Unless Claire's into the whole stalker thing) so we'll have to settle for het sex but hopefully it'll be really hot. :D
