Heroes S3 E22 (Turn and Face the Strange)...
[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]!
The show is still awesome! And I will feel compelled to keep saying that until it's no longer a surprise anymore.
The previews made it seem as if this was going to be another Petrelli-- or Angela-- centric episode, so I feel justifiably betrayed. I feel that every episode should have a mandatory Petrelli quota, as in there should be at least one as a main focus of each episode. We'll call it the "prettiness quota." But they were still present and accounted for, if only for a few moments, so it wasn't a total loss.
Angela: I couldn't help but notice that Angela made her progeny do all the digging while she "supervised." Another example of how she is awesome and how freaking whipped her sons are. I should be surprised that she has a secret stash of decomposed bodies, but somehow I am not.
Nathan/Peter: Nathan, the condescending asshole, says "Just let him vent," as if Peter's overreacting to the whole "I'm gonna betray everyone I know, take away their lives, and entrap them forever" thing. Yeah, no. Nathan, you are once again in danger of me loving you just a teeny bit less. Well, you were until you starting digging and sweating and... Mmn.
Mohinder: I know Mohinder was doing stuff this episode, but all I remember is that saucy hat he was sporting. Oh, and some random crap about Chandra being in Mexico for some reason a million years ago. That and the hat. You can guess which one I find more intriguing.
Matt: Oh, Matt. I never thought you were cool enough to murder someone in cold blood. The only time you were ever really interesting was in the "Five Years Gone" future. I laughed when he said that they had gone after the wrong guy. They did go after Danko, but they sent Peter to do the dirty work. Peter, guys. *Sigh*
HRG/Sandra: When Jack Coleman said that there was an intense scene coming up between him and Ashley Crow, my mind immediately went to bad places, but instead of getting hate!sex, I got prime angst. I am not complaining. Though, it's kind of sad that I immediately knew it was Sylar as soon as she started showing a real backbone. I love Sandra to pieces, but she's never really been given a chance to call HRG on all of the crap he's done to her. Brain tumor much?
And LYLE was on the phone! Hello, young, neglected Bennett child!
Sylar: I was creeped out by the sexual tension Danko was suddenly having with Noah, but then everything became clear once we find out that it's actually Sylar giving the come-hither smiles over the rotting corpse. That makes more sense. I'm even more skeptical now of the writers' decision to give him this new shapeshifting power, but it was hilarious watching Danko realize that he's sooo not in control here.
Danko: Man, the more I know about Danko, the less I want to know. The romance of Danko and the Russian prostitute is a Harlequin I never want to read. Or watch. Thankfully, Miss Elena got in a taxi, hopefully never to be seen again.
HRG/Angela: If I didn't know better, then I'd say that the writers are actually shipping these two. I APPROVE.
Hiro/Ando: Who would pick up two Japanese men and a baby? A hilarious and WTF!RANDOM truck driver, that's who! I can just imagine the conversation in the writers' room: "Let's challenge stereotypes while simultaneously upholding OTHER stereotypes! It'll be GENIUS!" And it kind of was. Random truck driver is my new favorite character.

Sylar shapesifting abilities are a bit unerving, now he can be anybody. BTW, I knew it was him the same moment "Sandra" yelled at HRG "I don´t love you anymore!" (that´s so childish, so Sylar).

Yeah, I think Ashley Crow had a blast playing Sylar. I think she nailed him better than anybody else.
