Heroes--Angels and Monsters

[sheryden]

Nathan and Tracy: I'm sorry to be saying this, but Nathan and his storyline are wearing thin. I miss the good old days when he was scruffy, had bed hair, and hung out with Matt. I do like the chemistry between him and Tracy, though.

Adam: He cracks me up, and he pretty. Win. I'm surprised he wasn't a bit more freaked out after having been buried alive, though. I don't care how invincible he is, he was buried alive, at least for a few weeks. I'd be a basket case after an hour. Maybe he took Captain Jack's "Retaining One's Sanity While Buried Alive" seminar.

Hiro and Ando: First of all, I don't think Ando is dead. We're talking Hiro-Logic here. He's probably planning to teleport back in time and save him or some nonsense. In any case, Hiro has become the character I groan when I see. If he calls Daphne "Nemesis" one more time, or gives us a Very Special Speech on what makes a hero, I might scream. I hope they give Ando powers, so he can ice him. Ando, on the other hand, is way fun. I love his pessimism and his attempts to fit into the world of the super-powered, even though he has no abilities.

Daphne: Her characterization is kind of hard for me to pin down right now. I guess I'm lacking insight into her motivation or her core personality. I'll be interested to see what draws Matt to her. I mean, he has a lousy track record of picking mates. There was Janice, who cheated on him. And Mohinder the Morally Ambiguous. So yeah, Daphne could just be the latest in a string of bad choices. Don't get me wrong, I want to like her. When I first saw her, I was sure I would. But I need more characterization.

Mohinder: Even turning him into a bad guy can't make him more interesting. I WANT him to be more interesting, because he's pretty. But seriously, I just sit there going, "WTF" when he's on screen. At least he's gotten rid of Maya for us, albeit temporarily.

Peter: Why are the writers making bad choices with all the characters I used to like? Seriously, now he's a Sylar clone. Boring.

Sylar: Meanwhile, the real Sylar has taken steps away from being a caricature and has become and interesting character again. I enjoy his interaction with Noah, and he does wear a suit well.

Angela Petrelli: My, she's doing badly as far as sons go. She'd better hope the thing with Gabriel works out, because he's the only son who's still talking to her. Of course, that doesn't matter much now.

Returning Dads: D'oh! It's Papa Parkman! And he evidently going to get the chance to reunite with his son. Papa Petrelli. Well, can't make much of a judgment there, seeing as how he's attached to a machine. Apparently, we're supposed to assume he's a major bad-ass, since Maury the Mind Guy is afraid of him.

Noah: Speaking of bad asses. I'll admit that I didn't see Noah's plan to dispose of Sylar coming. I should have, but it didn't dawn on me.

Claire's Two Mommies: I'm still not sold on Meredith. Like with Daphne, I need to see more motivation for the character. But Sandra is awesomecakes.

Lack of Mr. Muggles: This is a disturbing trend, and it's one that has to be rectified. D: Trust me, he'd be infinitely more interesting than some of the human characters on the show.

Knox: I'd like to see Knox use his powers a bit more. I'm getting the impression that the writers aren't sure yet how his powers work, so they're just saying he's a bad ass, and we'll see it later.

In any case, I missed Matt and Mr. Muggles. And I wonder if we'll ever see Micah or Molly again. Oh yeah, and Linderman's not a ghost. :( Ah well, at least we have Parkman angst possibilities.
