The Nathan/Sylar thing actually IS interesting (so far...). The Matt thing is idiotic, but overall the writing is decent. I can buy that Peter's first thought wouldn't be 'oh my, he has SYLAR'S POWERS! he must be SYLAR!' just because there are so many other crazy things it could be first, and that'd honestly be the last thing he'd WANT it to be most likely.
I also sort of like that the plots moving slowly. That's always what appealed to me about the show originally. The idea of them living ordinary lives. With the action set pieces always being more intriguing/interesting rather than spellbinding or pulse-pounding.
Anyway, I agree with quite a few of the things you've said. I just think the characters are, on the whole, WAY more likable now. Claire's not being a spoiled brat, Peter's not being a didactic unbelievable moron (rather than your run of the mill moron), Angela's not sitting around moping and being captured every seconds. It's all good stuff, in my opinion.
...next week's preview however, looks freaking mediocre as hell. Back to the inconsistent all over the place writing rather than the well-paced, but fairly slow character-driven stuff we've been getting the last four weeks. Wonder if last monday's was Bryan Fuller's last... only way a line like "Yeah, no, yeah" could get into a script I think.
Most of the weird plot stuff I can accept to keep it actually moving. Only thing I'm actually pissed off about, is Noah and Sandra getting divorced actually. Which sucks because it's one of the well-written things this season. I'm just tired of the divorce and romance drama. This is a show where there are some slightly older people. (Like 30's and 40's) It's perfectly all right to have people in their 30's and 40's be happily married... =|
Bah, YouTube has messed me up, I keep thinking I have way less space to write comments than I do. Haha...
