Villains

[tardis_stowaway]

--"An invisible man knocked me out." -blue flame guy
INVISIBLE OFFSCREEN CLAUDE!  So close to what I want, and yet so far. :( 

--The title sequence announced this show not as Heroes but Villains.  Whoa!  I knew that was the theme this season, but they've taken over the title sequence now.

--Peter and Mohinder managed to avoid doing anything unbelievably idiotic.  This is mostly because Peter was onscreen for about two minutes and Mohinder for about 30 seconds, but still!  Progress!  Also, I kind of miss Peter's S1 emo bangs.

--Dude, Daddy Petrelli is more evil than Linderman!  That's impressive.  

--I find the idea of incest!fics really, really disturbing.  Who reads and writes these things, and do their therapists know?  Nevertheless, with how much Nathan and Peter touch each other, you kinda have to wonder what's going on.  Then there was the recent scene with shirtless Peter (yay!) and Claire, where the actors' offscreen romance shows up a bit too much in the onscreen chemistry.  And let's not forget Sylar's violation of Claire. Oh, Heroes, why must you feed the fires of sketchiness so?

--"Daddy said God gave you a big sister instead of a brain." -Meredith to her brother, the blue-flame dude
Ha!  Mohinder's sister is dead.  This explains a lot.

--Am I the only one who finds Elle really annoying?  I kind of liked her airplane scene with Claire the other week for the ridiculously obvious femslash (sparks literally flew between them!), but mostly having her onscreen just makes me grit my teeth and hope she'll leave soon. 

--The ending:  OH NOES!  Evil Daddy Petrelli killed African Future-Painter Dude! (I should really learn some more names.)  And he has Hiro!  And Ando is next!  This is a very large cliff that they're dangling me from.  Eep!

--I have an idea to improve this show.  When a character does something really stupid, they can suddenly act like they've been punched by someone invisible.  Then we can hear Claude laughing and insulting them.  This plan doesn't require any more of Christopher Eccleston's time than a few hours in a recording studio to cover the rest of the season, but it will increase the awesomeness of the show greatly compared to no Claude at all.

I know Flint said "An invisible man tackled me in the alley." Now Claude was MIA and presumed Dead at this point and according to his Company File, Claude is the only one they know of with invisibility, so if Claude did tackle Flint, it certainly wasn't to help the Company as he's shown time and again and it's documented in his profile that Claude has rejected them. It's also possible someone with telekinesis got Flint and it felt like someone tackling him. Flint isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

Hmmm. You're right; I'd forgotten that Claude's split from the Company was farther in the past. It was probably something else that tackled him.

Now pardon me. I'm going to go off and live in a fantasy world where it was Claude actually appears on this show.

BTW, your icon is made of truth and awesome!

I love Chris at all ages, but somehow young!Chris just increases my desire to do bad, bad things to him tenfold.

Ha! Mohinder's sister is dead. This explains a lot.

You win the "joke I most wish I'd made" award for this episode.
