Heroes--I Am Become Death

[sheryden]

Matt, Daphne, and Molly: Matt is my favorite character on the show, and I'm glad to see they're not wasting him this season. I'm intrigued by the relationship he has with Daphne and pleased to see that he keeps Molly--he was clearly the superior co-parent, even before Mohinder started become a scary mutant. And yay for Molly coming back!

Matt and the Snarky African: "You don't read much, do you?" Pwned! I love the chemistry between these two, though I hope they develop the African beyond snarky comic relief.

Hiro and Ando: I'm growing increasingly okay with the idea of Ando wasting Hiro. I really am. Hiro is driving me crazy this season, and I'm becoming more convinced that the scene he saw in the future was misleading and that perhaps Hiro is the one who goes dark side. Especially now that Adam (!) is back in the picture.

Future!Gabriel: Interesting direction to take the character in. I think I like it. Of course, there were WTFs flying around my living room the whole time he was on the screen. First of all, he named his child Noah, of all things. Intriguing. More intriguing, though, is the question of who is the boy's mother.

Peter: I can see that Peter will be Captain Melodrama this season. I am vehemently opposed to him getting Gabriel's ability. I don't like the whole "I have a hunger" schtick in Gabriel, so I'm not going to like it any better out of Peter. Honestly, the writers are painting Peter, Hiro, and Mohinder as the three weakest-willed characters of the bunch. I get that they're exploring the dark sides of these characters, but they've all been rather wishy-washy since last season.

Mohinder and Maya: Well, the good news is that Maya didn't bug me. Of course, she was only on screen for 2 minutes. Mohinder, though. Yikes. The characterization of Mohinder has been pretty fast and loose since last season, and I'm not liking it. If they wanted me to buy Mad Scientist!Mohinder, they needed to build it up and explain how that is consistent with his characterization in Seasons 1 and 2. I'm not saying it isn't, but I am saying that I'm not buying it as presented thus far. Moreover, they need to drop the Seth Brundle similarities. Still, he looked pretty.

Nathan and Tracy: I love the chemistry between Adrian and Ali, so I'm happy with a Nathan/Tracy pairing. I'm still undecided on the story direction. Given the scenes from the future, I'm not sure how this is different from the person he was becoming in Season 1. It seems like we're right back where we started.

Tracy, the Ice Woman: See, she has a cool power. I wonder who this Barbara they spoke of was. I'm guessing she's not Jessica, but rather another one. I guess that's job security for Ali Larter. :P

Claire's Future Team: So it's Claire, Knox, the Haitian, and Daphne. Interesting combo. And Matt, whose moral compass is usually a bit more reliable than most of the cast seemed to disapprove of the mission only out of concern for Daphne, not out of moral outrage for her pursuit of Peter. Hmmm...

Mr. Muggles!!!!!! So, if he's in the custody of Gabriel, I'm guessing that something dreadful has happened to Noah, Sandra, and Lyle. But at least, he's safe and... OMG! He died in Costa Verde!!! We need to fix the future! D:
