UNEXPECTED NAKED MOHINDER


Admittedly my main thought was "Ewww, slimy". But at least he's pretty again :)

All my other complaints about characterisation on this show pale in comparison to the whole "Elle is a sociopath and always has been -> Elle used to be nice but HRG broke her -> Elle has a moment of pure redemption with Sylar and finds peace -> Sylar +Elle =Bonny and Clyde" thing. I have lost my faith in the show as a result, before now I trusted them to at least attempt a veneer of continuity between adjacent episodes. Because I was/am dumb.

But I can't quit the show because of stuff like the "everyone loses their powers" moment. I was not expecting that and it was awesome. Though of course we've seen the future and they all have their powers, even people like Mohinder who would never ask for them back (and if he did shouldn't get the broken powers). And no, the fact that's an alternate future shouldn't change things, since the eclipse is a natural event that would presumably have happened either way. Though surely people (ie the Company. And certainly Adam, how many eclipses has he seen?) would have noticed if their powers turned off last time. Hmm.

I hope Hiro gets his adulthood back. And maybe some extra, I think the child-like thing was overplayed enough before.

Me: You know, it's actually kind of surprising that they've had a haitian character for two and half seasons and only now got around to a cliched voodoo plot.
distantcam: Actually they did one in the comics in season one.
Me: Ah.

Greg Beeman: Sendhil was basically butt-naked except for like this tiniest little g-string...
Sendhil Ramamurthy: Oh, it wasn't that tiny.
Greg: Well, I mean... in the front it was huge...
Sendhil: Yeah!

Ramble on.

UNEXPECTED NAKED MOHINDER

My first thought here was "was there a peepee?"

Then I realised I didn't know if Mohinder was a guy or a girl. Then I remembered that Heroes is a TV show so there's not likely to be surprise penis (there was a suprise penis in some movie I got taken to the other day... I was a little shocked, I didn't think they could do that).

So they're following the 24 school of plot continuity?

WHERE'S THE PIC DAMMIT!
I have skipped reading the post as I'm not up there yet. I was hoping for Pics!!!

Yeah, the characters are all over the place. But despite my wincing at Sylar and Elle's constantly shifting personalities, I think they're so great together. :P

Also regarding Hiro, I don't know whether they know what to do with him (or anyone?). He does play his part so well, and he's funny and all, but I think the writers are too afraid to let him actually experience any character growth. Surely keeping him and Ando as light comic relief isn't completely mutually exclusive from letting him grow.

The total-eclipse-seen-from-everywhere-in-the-world-at-the-same-time thing bothers me. As does the fact that this magical Total Eclipse seems to have happened twice in as many years. I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen.

I do actually like the no-powers thing, though. I mean, Peter seems to be closer to the awesome Season 1 Peter I remember when he doesn't have his powers. :P
