Comments: Heroes

Matt is so stupid, I stopped caring about him. As for his wife, well, let me just say how amazed I am at the way TV pregnancies seem to move along. It seems like it was only days ago in that show's world that she found out she was pregnant, and now she's all, "ooh, watch out for maneuvering around my belly!" Maybe the baby has some special rapid-gestation power.

With Hiro and Ando, my theory is that it was actually a telekinetic power that *Ando* has that made the bulllet go back in the gun and move the gun to the side, because otherwise, Hiro's time continuum thing doesn't make sense. Also, it would be way more fun and cool if it turns out now that Ando has powers too.

Hadn't considered the Hiro/Ando switcheroo. Hmmm. Still, I don't think so. I'm not sure what's up with Hiro's powers; perhaps he's filled with power-draining self-doubt.

I get the feeling that Isaac has almost outlived his usefulness. I think Sylar will be the death of him. (Was he SHOT when Hiro found him in the "future?" Shit, I can't remember.)

Matt, Matt, Matt . . . I'm not sure about him. He's been in Hero isolation so long, I was hoping his meeting with Niki/Jessica was GOING somewhere (until they meet again?). His wife is getting really annoying, so maybe we're moving away from that. Although the roadtrip to Odessa with Ted and Wireless seems a bit hasty.

Yeah, some shit's goin' DOWN next weekend.

And I predict that PETER is gonna kill Sylar. Using Claire's invincibility ("Save the Cheerleader, Save the World").

Hmm. Peter came in contact with Matt after his battle with Sylar, right? So, if he meets Sylar again, he'll be able to read his mind this time. A battle of the telekinetics! With one holding the card of invincibility! I'd love to see that.

Hiro will eventually figure out that he doesn't need the sword to use his powers. I think what happened last night was that he reversed time, and then an alternate timeline happened, where, before Hope had a chance to fire her gun, that guy tackled her.

I wonder how lost people who haven't been reading the online comic or playing along with Heroes 360 were when Hana just showed up. They explained nothing about her background, family, or connection with Bennet.

Also sad they killed Dale off so quickly. She seemed pretty cool, and it would have been neat to see more of how she uses her power, hears people's emotions, etc. "That was my best wrench!"

Yeah, I was thinking the something along the same line as Lola about Hiro's power. I think Hiro realized he did something, but he chose not to tell Ando.

I can't stand Matt or his suddenly very pregnant wife. I think she just found the ring because he didn't have time to hide everything when he heard her coming in, he definitely hadn't planned on giving it to her. I also wasn't sad to see Simone die.

But I was really bummed about Dale -- she seemed very cool. I love that her ability is f'ing with Sylar. But Mohinder, dude, hello?! How can he not know something's up with Sylar? I kept thinking he'd see Sylar's watch (remember he saw it in a dream once?) and realize he killed his dad. Maybe eventually...

Peter is suddenly much more interesting, huh? As he gains control of his powers... Thought that was so funny that Isaac painted Peter and then realized he painted his own loft. Heh.

Oh, also, how freaking annoying are those Microsoft Vista formatted previews at the end of each show?! Gah!

I forgot about the Microsoft Vista previews. HATE THEM. Forget it, Microsoft, everyone knows Vista is crap. Stop trying to make it look cool.

At the end of the show, when I realize it's preview time and we're gonna get Vista'd, I start yelling, "No, no, no, NO . . !" at the T.V. Dude, not cool. My T.V. is 27 inches, and I'm sitting halfway across the fucking ROOM!
