starvinbohemianYay, Slumdog Millionaire wins everything! Fantastic. When is that movie going to come out on DVD so that I can own it forever and ever? And "Jai Ho" won Best Song! Now I am satisfied and maybe I can stop obsessing about this movie and finally move on with my life. Until the DVD comes out.
Anyway, it's time for [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com].
Jack Coleman described this episode in his blog as a big episode for his character along the lines of "Company Man." With all due respect, I don't think this one even touched "Company Man." CM was amazing because we were finally given some back-story and insight into a mysterious character that everyone wanted to know more about. This episode didn't reveal anything that we didn't already know from simple inference. But it was still a good episode, so whatever.
Pretty-Stupid-Boys Brigade: I never thought I'd get to see these three coming out of a motel room together. *Insert obligatory sex joke because HELLS YEAH* But aww, Mom and Dad are fighting again. And Mom's keeping secrets. And Dad's become abusive.
In all seriousness, this is the first time I've ever seen any genuine chemistry between Matt and Mohinder. I've never seen the chemistry or the love that shippers keep talking about. In S2, they just seemed annoyed at each other's presence, and I can't think of a single sweet family moment they shared together with Molly. Hell, Matt was still calling him "Suresh" a few episodes ago. But I digress.
Mohinder: When Momo said "It's not science at all," I think I cracked a rib laughing. Momo has no idea what science is. But who gives a crap about that when HE IS WET. Peter may have been wearing a shirt this week, but Momo more than covered the sexy quota. Good job, Momo.
Peter: Well, color me shocked, but somebody get Peter an Awesome Award. He was darn right competent this episode. When he dropped down onto HRG's car, it became my hands-down favorite moment of the episode. He even packed a bullet into Danko! The speed and ease with which he picked up Parkman proves that Peter is both morally AND physically stronger than Nathan. Muscle mass is apparently just an illusion. A gorgeous, sexpot illusion. Mmn, Nathan...
Matt: And the Idiot Award goes to Matt. Why? Because he sends PETER on an assassination mission. Come on, Matt. PETER PETRELLI? Have you two met?
Angela/HRG: It's so wrong to ship these two, but they're leaving me no choice, the gorgeous bastards. Because awwww, she gave him a retirement watch! Cute.
Sandra: Do my ears deceive me? HRG and Sandra are on the P.T.A at Lyle's school? He doesn't know or else doesn't remember, but this here is proof that at least Sandra cares enough about her son to be on the P.T.A. Lyle! Someone cares about you!
HRG/Danko: Awww. HRG wants to bond with him like he did with all his other partners. The Haitian was practically his husband. But Danko is having none of it because he is dead inside. The sad little psychopath lives alone. Shocker. I think "You barely touched your prime rib" is the creepiest line of the entire show, out-creeping all of Sylar's lines put together.
Nathan: So, Nathan's version of "making things right" after almost killing his brother is to disown him, manipulate him, taser him, kidnap him, drug him, and attempt to send him to Guantanamo Bay. Yeah, that's... sound reasoning there, Nathan.
Daphne: *Is Alive* Just like the rest of this episode's reveals-- not really surprising.
Those Missing This Week: As much as I applaud the show for finally going back to the S1 format of not showing everyone every week so as to give each story its share of depth... I was actually talking about Hiro and Claire. Where the hell is my Sylar???
Tim Sale: Seriously, I love Tim Sale as much as the next guy, but if I see one more of his apocalyptic paintings on Isaac's floor, then I am going to have to smack a bitch.
