Heroes 1x02: Don't Look Back

Eeek!



OMG there is a serial killer that eats their brains! This is the reason I avoid spoilers - I'd heard the name 'Sylar' around the place and knew that he was a bad guy, but Isaac's messy death was still a big surprise.

... well, you know, I assume he eats the brains. I think this is actually less disturbing than the idea that he's keeping them in jars somewhere. Sylar must have some swoober powers to have frozen that guy and nailed that woman to the wall like that.

This was certainly a bad day for our heroes getting arrested. It's great to see Greg Grunberg again, and I had instant empathy with poor Matt. Telepathy would be a really useful ability for a wannabe detective if he could just explain to everyone that he had it.

Also loved that Hiro's reaction to the police asking him how he got to New York was the unvarnished truth *g*. Maybe when he goes back - and obviously he'll have to, because otherwise Isaac will be dead and New York exploded - he should take Ando with him for English speaking ability and common sense.

Meanwhile, the Petrelli family gets more complicated by the episode and oh noes, Claire's dad is evil!

they just get more and more twisted, believe me.

You find out what Sylar does with the brains later, but it doesn't make it any less squicky. He totally creeps me out.

As for your last sentence, all I can say is that you have such delights to come! I love this series despite Sylar.

Brains! Sylar is an awesome baddie.

Matt is a wonderful centre of sanity in the show, and Greg Grundberg is fabulous. It's always great to see unglamourous telepathy.

Yeah, poor Matt. He just wants to be a good cop, and this ability that should make that easier...really doesn't.

Also loved that Hiro's reaction to the police asking him how he got to New York was the unvarnished truth *g*.

Hiro's ability to keep his mouth shut, or for that matter even his voice down, is...not so much an ability. It's kind of charming, unless you happen to be standing next to him. *g*

And this is only two episodes in. You may want to start taking notes, now. (Actually, everything in Heroes is complicated. But the Petrellis probably do win the award.)

and oh noes, Claire's dad is evil!

Poor Claire. Invulnerability's another one of those powers that really should make your life easier, and yet. (Of course, she'd have been dead by now if she didn't have it, so it evens out.) Mr. Bennet's a great character, though.

1. You might want to start a flow chart on the Petrellis right now, because it ain't gonna get any less complicated.

2. I am so not saying anything about Claire's dad. Not a thing.

Seriously :D I am bouncing in my chair, reading these. Oh! You are in for such a ride!

Sylar: is an effective menace.

Petrellis: you ain't seen nothing yet. (Why, of course most of my Heroes fanfic stars them.)

Claire's dad: what [livejournal.com profile] honorh said. (BTW, since at that point we only know him as Mr. Bennet, fandom coined the useful acronym HRG, for Horned Rimmed Glasses.)

Hiro and Ando: I'm still not saying anything.

I am watching it, too -- and LOVING IT TO PIECES: time-travel! Reluctant heroes! Lots of beta guys!

Too few girls, as always, and they are too often in distress. *sigh*
