starvinbohemianMeta for whatever episode this was, I guess. Heh, can you feel my continued enthusiasm for this show? No? *Sigh*
I missed last week's meta, and I can't promise my updates will be regular in the future. And why? Because I'm just having so much trouble caring at this point. I meta'd the hell out of S3 because it was so abominably bad that I couldn't resist spewing my frustration out into the interconnecting nets. But S4? Eh. Not particularly bad but not particularly interesting either. Oh, and did I mention that every characterNathan I did care about IS DEAD???
With two notable exceptions...
Peter/Emma: Well, we learn this week that Emma is the destroyer of men and Peter is apparently "the next Joseph," but what do I care about any of that when they are so cute together? Answer: I don't.
Emma, honey, that's one way to get him into your apartment. Aw, but he busted her cello. I'm torn between appreciating the hotness of his busting in and taking care of business to protect her and my never-ending frustration over the fact that Peter never stops to think before he acts. He couldn't have explained the situation before he smashed the thing she probably cherishes most? Of course not, because then he wouldn't be Peter Petrelli. Best she learns now, I guess.
Angela/Emma: Well, at least Emma has some idea now of what she's gonna have to deal with via the monster-in-law. She might want to follow Heidi's lead and just lie low, like, forever. I hope she wasn't expecting Peter's family to be normal... yeah, best she learns now before Angela has her thrown into a trunk, drugged in an asylum, or some of the other horrible things that happen to these characters. On second thought, maybe Emma should just run in the other direction the next time Peter sends her the puppy eyes.
Hiro: I'm so glad Ando cured him of his geek!speak because if I had to hear one more nerdy reference I was gonna crack. I'm sick to death of how they're writing Hiro. I mean, S2 was lame and boring, but I think it's the only season where Hiro was allowed to act like the thirty-something he is. Kinda. Well, if we ignore the fact that he spent the majority of the season live-action role-playing his greatest fantasy... *Sigh*
Samuel/Vanessa: While I'm completely ignoring the expansion of this stupid backstory-- Kate Vernon! OMG, Kate Vernon is here to play Vanessa! I thought Samuel's drawing last week looked just like her, but I didn't know she was actually going to be here! Yay! Now, Kate, please whip out some of your Ellen Tigh badassery on Samuel's ass, please.
Previews...
As for next week's previews? WHAT THE--??!! Are we really at this point, Heroes? Really? We've hit the "we've lost all our ideas so we're going to do one-shot zanny hijinx episodes"? REALLY??? Much as I love David Anders and George Takei, I didn't want them back this way. Geez.
Oh, and I'm going to repress the fact that I saw Sylar tonguing Claire because WRITERS, I HATE YOU! Sylaire was supposed to stay a gross crack ship that I avoided and privately judged to be awful, but now the damn thing is canon. Hell, maybe I'll just avoid next week's episode...
