They really are. I was so worried Sylar was going to kill her! But he paid her back for getting him out of the cell by saving her life, which is a good start to the relationship.
Also, Hiro = WIN.
Hiro = win, love and all good things *g*.
Yeah, the gender politics sadly don't live up to the rest of the thinking behind the show.
It really makes me *headdesk* because you can see that a lot of thought went into various things, including having plenty of characters of colour around the place. It seems like no-one even considered the gender stuff.
But Claire really is awesome, which helps a lot.
I have also just seen Collisions. I thought it was great that it's the threat to other women that pushes her over the edge with Brody. She's willing to let it go when she thinks it's just her, but once she realises that he's going to try raping every blonde in school she can't sit back and let it happen.
There's actually a comm dedicated to discussions of race (and class and gender) in Heroes, which has some interesting stuff; if you're interested, I can link you once you've seen the whole season - but I wouldn't recommend going there before that!
Thank you, I'll try and remember to ask when I'm finished!
