I will be king...and you, you will be queen

[hackthis_archive]

So. There was this show on last night. I dunno if anybody caught it besides me. It was called The Petrelli Show. Yeah, it's a good show. Lots of hotassery and angst and like other stuff. Very Shakespearean if you like that sort of thing. I totally recommend it.

I told sameoldhope that my reaction to last night's Heroes could be summed up in this manner Nathan...Nathan looking hot... Nathan working for the feebies...Nathan and Peter.... Sex now? Nuts... Wow was that gay... Nathan is so hot... Nathan is so hot... THE NATHAN AND HIRO SHOW, YAY!!!!!!..... Nathan with his collar unbuttoned....Niki Szzzzzzzzz.... OH GOD THEY PICKED THE SCARIEST MAN ON EARTH AS LINDERMAN!...Nathan as President... Lex will be pissed...Nathan... Nathan...I love you, Mrs. P.... Claire is still boring to me... etcetera.... etcetera...

In English...


1) NATHAN IS THE HOTTEST MAN ON EARTH, AND I AM SORRY HE HAS TO WORK WITH THE FEEBLES.

2) Plz to see #1

3) So. Um. How about Nathan working for the feds? His collar was unbuttoned, and I just wanted to lick him, oh, Adrian Pasdar you are so hot. Okay... okay...

4) HAHAHAHAHAHA! S&M are totally living up to their pairing monker. Seriously. Okay, wait, first of all, let me back up the cart and say people who are feeling the Sylar/Mohinder should rilly rilly read aheartfulofyou's Stained, because I've been poking around the S&M (that will never stop being funny) and this is damn good. Talk about some multiple personality issues.

4a) Mohinder, for about five minutes you were The Man. I was hella impressed at the size of your cojones, I thought 'Wait, maybe he's not as fucking stupid as he seems' but then you fucked it all up by underestimating Sylar and that's just -- THAT WAS FUCKING DUMB. Only a very stupid man thinks his enemy is stupid. -- That's actually me paraphrasing Layer Cake, but the sentiment still applies. If you have not seen Layer Cake with 007, you are fired.

4b) Um, dude, they were pretty damn slashy in the opening scenes, before Mohinder went all rogue and drugged Sylar, which is NEVER going to stop being awesome. Really. Well done.

5) Peter and Nathan. I think that spoke for itself in Nathan's office no? *blinks* I can't be real coherant, because they were that close, and there were hands on shoulders and I really expected them to kiss at any minute. Really. Even when I was trying to be objective. At least one on the forehead -- c'mon. Dude, c'mon.

5a) Also, Nathan did not look that shocked that Peter kept appearing and disappearing. This HAS happened before. I told you it did! I win!

5b) \O/

5c) See 5b

6) Some other stuff happened. Mr. Bennett was hella awesome. That new mutant. Natasha or some shizz, whatever. I don't like her. She's bratty... much like Claire. I know there's a whole cadre of people out there who think Claire is the shit, and totally the best thing since manicures were invented, but everytime she opens her mouth she's fucking whinging, and it drives me bonkers. Goddamn teenagers. She has like NO appreciation for what her dad did -- just because she's unbreakable doesn't mean they are! This is the same issue I had with Smallville -- oh, one of the SV writers is writing for Heroes you say? Well, that explains a lot.

Dear Mother and Father,

I am sorry about my teenage years. If I was anything like this it's a wonder I wasn't taken out back and shot. I am sure you are thrilled that I grew out of it.

Love,
Me

It's a shame we can't take Claire out back and shoot her. Well, we could, but she's invincible, which means it would just be a waste of buckshot or whatever people use for such things. You have no idea how much the realization she can't be offed depresses me.

7) The Nathan and Hiro Show is love. Hiro thought Nathan was mean. Can we all just look at the first Heroes story I ever wrote? The Hiro & Nathan in Vegas one entitled what? You Can Be Mean and I'll Drink All the Time. \O/

8) Dear Tim,

I am drawing pink sparkly hearts around your name right now!

Love,
Me

9) *deep breath* About a month ago boniblithe came to me and said 'They cast Linderman, do you want to know who...' and I said 'NO! NONONONONO! Don't tell me. I want it to be a surprise! I don't like Heroes spoilers. And nobody else tell me either!' And thankfully, nobody did. Everybody gets cookies. Because let me tell you -- when Malcolm McDowell turned around, I about wet myself.

If you have not see A Clockwork Orange, or Gangster No.1, or I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (with Clive Owen) consider yourself a lucky unscarred person. Malcolm Mcdowell is a scary ass motherfucker, and I was truly truly afeared on Nathan's behalf in ways you can't even imagine if you've never seen those films. That's some serious casting, yo.

Also? He was Ari's old boss on Entourage. Yeah, dude. I SAID GODDAMN!!

10) Petrelli for President. Where are the icons, don't front.

11) Claire snzzzzzz -- OMG MAMA PETRELLI IS THE AWESOMEST. I'm so not surprised though, look at her children. And she was speaking French. *draws sparkly hearts around Mrs. P too*

12) Oh, Peter, baby. I was hoping you'd snuck down to Vegas with your brother. Why do you and your niece have no common sense? Huh. People dripping blood from the ceiling. I feel like I stepped into some WB show. Oh, wait, nobody caught on fire -- never mind. ;)



Randomly...

a) Anybody entertaining the thought that Linderman is some sort of psychic or empath too, or whatever.

b) Linderman is Nathan and Peter's daddy and Mama Petrelli is trying to protect them from their daddy -- it would work in that way that Mr. B was trying to protect Claire from Linderman. Lots and lots of daddy issues round these parts.

c) Mama Petrelli is AWESOMECAKES!

d) Mama Petrelli totally has some crazyass power and it involves stealing SOCKS!

e) I'd originally had a fic idea with Nathan and Peter speaking Italian (no antheia I didn't forget, but now maybe it should be French.

Hey! I saw that show! Didn't it rock?

*weeps because she doesn't have enough icon slots*

Nobody caught on fire YET.

Remember, Niki's dead sister is named...Jessica.

Erik Kripke is totally writing this. (Which is why they didn't kiss.)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Good point about the yet.

[scribblinlenore.livejournal.com]

The Petrelli Show is my favorite show of all, EVER!!!!!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Me too!!!

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

I was so much aflail while watching this show. And when I watched it again.

I am sitting and waiting around for the next 2 hours, so methinks I will pull out my ipod and watch it again.

(And no, I haven't been refreshing your lj every ten minutes since this morning awaiting your review/comments. I've been hitting refresh every 15 minutes. Sorry I'm being stalkery!)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I've discovered that after Nathan-centric episodes my brain seems to shut down. A lot of the time I can't really focus on the program for the 13 y.o. screaming in my head OMG!IT'S NATHAN!!1111I HEART NATHAN!NATHAN 4EVA!!!!

[chicklet-girl.livejournal.com]

It's like Kring wrapped up this episode, tied it with a big sparkly bow, and wrote "TO: ZAHRA, FROM: TIM" on it. *g*

Hiro totally got me with "But now I know: You pretend not to care because you care too much." <-- incipient icon

If you have not seen Layer Cake with 007, you are fired.

I moved it to the top of my Netflix queue, from its former position at #5! I have displaced naked Ewan McGregor Young Adam for it. Please don't fire me! *trembles with fear*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

It's like Kring wrapped up this episode, tied it with a big sparkly bow, and wrote "TO: ZAHRA, FROM: TIM" on it. *g*

IT DID! IT TOTALLY DID! *loves all over Tim and Nathan*

I was telling heidi8 that after really heavy Nathan-centric episodes my brain seems to shut down almost like it's gone into Petrelli overload and has to take a time out. This is just some preliminary shrieking :D Nathan + Peter! Nathan + HIRO! Nathan + The Scariest Man on Earth! (TM)

Layer Cake is the business. It's just -- after you see it you will thank me. Really.

[offtheceiling.livejournal.com]

Oh God, everytime I see a post about how completely HOTASS Nathan was last night, I have to...take a moment. Jesus.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I need a new word for Nathan. He's moved past hotass into some new realm.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

As soon as Malcolm McDowell turned around I started shaking my head. He is scary and crazy. If he is a bad guy he'll probably kill you because that's what he does.

See the part where I said I almost wet myself? Exactly. And I agree he's totally charged with something or other, of that I have NO doubt. Claire is just -- feh. She's a fucking teenager, they think they know everything.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

OMG - the touching! Hands rubbing! Peter in Pain mode and Nathan in Big Brother protection mode - it was BroYay heaven! When Nathan says "Stay with me," and Peter turns, all wooby & agonized and you just KNOW he's thinking, "If I do, then *you* could get hurt or killed and I could not take it. Simone's death is nothing to Peter compared to the thought of THAT. *sigh*

Simone is a page number in the complete series of books on Peter's love for his brother. Wow. That was totally a good metaphor. Go team me!

[svmadelyn.livejournal.com]

I was totally hitting the air with my hand, as I made noises, which is always a sign of Good Television.

I am woefully undereducated, so I am going to have to see those movies to see what they're up against. I love how Nathan would have shot him then and there, only he had to go and bring up Peter and Claire, and that's *it*, he's got him.

Oh, Nathan, my love for you was at terrible and epic proportions before this. I don't even know what to DO with you now. ♥

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I go into Heroes expecting the worst a lot of the time. Not that I don't think the show will deliver, but based on past experiences, my standards are a little (very) low -- and they just keep spoon-feeding me this incredibly Nathan (and Peter) stuff and I'm like 'Wow, I don't even know what do with so much awesomeness.'

[ethrosdemon.livejournal.com]

I do not even begin to comprehend pairings with Silar. WTF????? You might as well write John Wayne Gacy fic.

This post has left me flummoxed. What is this fangirl ranting, and who are you?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Sylar freaks me out. Not as badly as Malcolm McDowell, but you know, he's pretty fucking scary. Mohinder is so daft though, it almost works. Also, I know you are not going to get on me about enjoying a show for a change, George, don't even start.

[literaryll.livejournal.com]

First of all - wtf I don't have a Petrelli or Mr. B icon? *moves that to the top of my priorities list*

Nathan as President... Lex will be pissed - YESSSS

Hahaha I knew you'd be going on about licking. I must have a gift!

People ship Mohinder/Sylar? *STARE*

. . .

No really. WHAT?!

You better not write that because then I will have to read it and knowing you it'd be awesome and I have enough Zahra induced warp (cough I LOVE PETER SO MUCH NOW cough) as it is.

Mohinder, for about five minutes you were The Man - I whooped! And then he was dumb again. That one moment though - for that I don't want him to die. It was that yaye.

Teenagers suck but Claire's shut-the-fuck-up moments were worth it to see Mama Petrelli WINNING THAT HARD. She is totally related to Narcissa in some way.

MR. B OWNS MY HEART. If he dies I will kick things.

Hiro basically told Nathan he was a marshmellow ♥ ♥

MR. ULTRAVIOLENCE = my mind blown.

The blood dripping thing ahahaha - I was like wait - I love you now Peter but you are not Sam! They both have very emo hair. Maybe Tim got confused for a second.

Stuff you didn't talk about but that I'm still estactic about - SIMONE IS REALLY DEAD. SHE DOESN'T HAVE SUPER POWERS - SHE'S DEAD!! Spank god. She was boring, boring cakes.

Peter facing off against Sylar is too exciting to talk about. I will die.

The show was starting to bore me but the last three episodes? ROCKING. Hiatus sucks!!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

People ship Mohinder/Sylar? *STARE*

. . .

I told slodwick that it was fucked up enough for me to entertain the notion, but Sylar just freaks me the fuck out, so it's rather difficult.

Teenagers suck but Claire's shut-the-fuck-up moments were worth it to see Mama Petrelli WINNING THAT HARD. She is totally related to Narcissa in some way.

Mama Petrelli has been the shit since episode one. That entire scene was only worth it for how hard she kicked ass.

[girl-wonder.livejournal.com]

Dude. I know. My reaction to Linderman was: YAY.

I kind of thought that Peter had gone with Nathan to see Linderman because that would have been coolness: Nathan doesn't shoot Linderman and then Peter does.

Anyway. How could Mr and Mrs B have such a lame child? Also. Why didn't Mrs P take Claire out back and shoot her, because that is something that Mrs P SO would have done.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I was talking to linaerys and we both thought Peter was totally with Nathan in Vegas, she thought Peter was going to stop Jessica, I thought he was going to do a Matrix on Linderman myself.

SERIOUSLY!

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

Your Heroes love makes me happy.

I had stuff to say, but I forgot what it was because I started remembering Nathan begging Peter to stay with him in a total sexy bedroom voice. That was awesome. And I also loved how once Nathan established that it wasn't Peter's blood, he totally didn't care who's it was. He has my vote for president.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

OMG, I was totally thinking of you this morning! I was all Sparky must come talk to me about the awesomeness of this episode b/c oh my GOD! chicklet_girl said it was a big shiny present to me from Tim. My ears are still ringing from all my shrieking. Naturally I have watched The Scene (http://youtube.com/watch?v=G4M-eqIMv_s) several times for a 'research purposes.' -- have you noticed the part where after Peter says Simone he totally leans in and then Nathan makes a deliberate point of pulling hiw face away, but not his body. OMGWTFKISSALREADY! And then he said to stay with him and I was done. Truly I had to re-watch the scene because I couldn't remember a damn thing over the rushing in my ears of HOLYSHITWTF!ADRIANPASDAR=HOTASSERY!NATHAN+PETER4EVA!!

And then and then (is totally on a rampage) issaro was e-mailing me during her viewing today and she was all 'Zucchini!!!!' and I was like come again? And she was like "Linderman and Nathan in the kitchen! When Linderman says he likes zucchini and asks Nathan if *he* likes zucchini" and I was like, uh, I totally missed that for my screaming about Malcolm McDowell being the scariest man EVER -- and she was like 'dude, did you hear me? Linderman asked Nathan if he likes zucchini. It's totally phallic. He totally knows they're sleeping together!!'

And she's not even into the Peter/Nathan.

I'm still too shocked to be coherant.

[velena.livejournal.com]

Peter and Nathan. I think that spoke for itself in Nathan's office no? *blinks* I can't be real coherant, because they were that close, and there were hands on shoulders and I really expected them to kiss at any minute. Really. Even when I was trying to be objective. At least one on the forehead -- c'mon. Dude, c'mon.

Hee. It's become so blatant. I first started watching Heroes over Christmas, and I watched the first eleven episodes in the space of like two days, and I remember thinking, Gosh, there is so much subtext here, and wondering if I was the only one who saw it. And then I was reading the TWoP recaps, and the recapper kept noticing the same things, until finally she made the following hilarious observations:

Nathan touches his brother on the shoulder (because a scene in which the Petrelli brothers are not touching each other is clearly a scene where they are not in the same zip code)...

Peter walks over and puts his hands all over his brother AGAIN, some more, and repeats the question about the car. [...] Nathan asks if Peter will give a deposition against their father if Nathan agrees to take the DA's case. What Peter has to do with all of this, I have no idea, but he agrees to give the deposition. But only after touching his brother some more. I swear they touch each other more than any brothers have a right to. And I watch Supernatural, y'all. I'm not saying I mind it -- I mean, Pasdar and Milo are hot on their own; together, they're practically an inferno -- but it does make me wonder if Pasdar and Milo, like, visit the craft services table and giggle while they go over the script and insert "Peter touches Nathan suggestively" and "Nathan stares longingly at his brother" in between the written lines.

Such long quotes, I know, so sorry, but I thought they were appropriate. The two of them on the show just never cease to crack me up with all their pawing at each other.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

LOL. No, sweetie, you are very much not alone. When the show first aired I wasn't particularly interested in any of the characters, and then around episode four I sat and *watched* and when I saw Peter and Nathan my immediate though was 'No. Dear Lord, please tell me the two actors with the best chemistry aren't actually related on the show.' But as you can see, they so are, and no one can deny it.

pee ess, I loved that TWOP blurb. She/he is right -- if they're not touching they're not in the same zip code.

[lyra-wing.livejournal.com]

I am so not kidding when I say that I feel like time slows down when Nathan's touching Peter. Does that make sense? He touches him very deliberately. And slowly. :D

Also? He was Ari's old boss on Entourage. Yeah, dude. I SAID GODDAMN!!

I KNEW I knew him from somewhere! I haven't seen any of those movies you listed, but I KNEW I knew that dude from somewhere and it was bugging the crap out of me. And now my mind is at ease, thank you. :D

I don't know if time slows, but I notice that the camera loves them a whole lot. Maybe the producer tells them to hold things longer than average.

I wish I could explain how fucking scary MM is, but I'm too busy hiding.

[shireeen.livejournal.com]

hehehehe, Terence. I was like, effing PERFECT. And *cooking,* no less!! The laughs lasted that entire scene.

k, this nathan thing is still totally perplexing me, sorry. Hiro's greeting was freakin adorable, but I just about gagged with the "you pretend not to care about anyone" schtick. But I'm totally with you on idiot hologram chick. You can practically see her thinking "be menacing and sexy! Be menacing and sexy!" Meanwhile, she looks about Claire's age. And when Claire kvetched about having to be Canadian, I hated her even more. But damn, was HRG not the sweetest when he told hologram wife, "I didn't know we could talk like this"?

S&M just continues to give me cold sweats. I'm kind of in hell about all this.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You have S&M cold sweats? I will never stop laughing about that. You don't appreciate the Pasdar hotassery, but you can get with the Psycho and Plz to Shoot Me!man? uh *huh*. And people talk about my tastes. I intensely dislike Claire. The baby Petrelli weeps that she can't die.

Word.

[romancandles.livejournal.com]

There's not enough time to squee because I'm catching a plane to London in a few hours and have to PACK OMG.

HOWEVER: OMG NATHAN.

PETRELLIS FOR FIRST FAMILY.

Re: Word.

[romancandles.livejournal.com]

Having seen the movies in question: agreed on Linderman's casting. Holy Jesus, I screamed a little bit and was like, "GET THEE BACK, son of Satan!"

Re: the new mutant. Mystique (I can't be bothered to learn her real name) is totally unsympathetic and annoying and smug. At least Mystique had depth. Also, I thought it was funny that they made her power have a slightly different effect than Mystique's does. It appears that she has a mind power--the ability to alter preception of herself and her immediate surroundings as opposed to changing her own shape. This SHOULD mean that the Haitian can block her power since it appears to me mind-based, although they have been sort of inconsistant with him. What say you? Am I making sense?

Again: word to everything you say. Perhaps on Monday I will come back and comment more coherently.

[kat-rp.livejournal.com]

We have a group come watch heroes every week and we decided that Linderman's power is being able to WATCH THE TV SHOW.
So he does.

^^!
