"In the quiet words of the Virgin Mary, come again?"

This is what I thought about last night's Heroes 'Five Years Past', or whatever it was called.




Nathan was dead?

THEY KILLED NATHAN?!!!

Well, I knew something was wrong, b/c that sure as hell wasn't Nathan because he would never have let Peter go away – no matter what they fought about – and bad Peter for not realizing something was dead wrong when Nathan wasn't harassing him every five seconds -- but, uh, THEY KILLED NATHAN.

If they kill Nathan -- I will stop watching. That's not a threat, that's just the truth. Even though Adrian Pasdar was rocking those suits last night and it was never a better time to be a White House Intern (PREACH!).

It was nice to see Jim Profit in the White House, yo, seriously. Did I mention the suits?

Also? Okay, Peter with a scar and dressing all hotass? Whoooooooooooo boy.

No, really, whoooo boy. And I mean that in all the best possible, "here let me channel a little Neo from The Matrix and some Italian mob movie here in my tacky STRIP CLUB!" way. I would talk to K about this, but her head won't stop spinning around her neck and she might get pea soup on me.

As for Mohinder well, it's like I told [livejournal.com profile] antheia:

Dude, Mohinder has Petrelli-fever. He's totally their Marilyn Monroe. Maybe marginally smarter, but not by much.

Seriously though, Peter was SMOKING last night, I was like, Uhhhhhhh, there is NO WAY Nathan would have let that out the house.

Sylar as Mystique running the White House was marginally interesting -- it would have been way more interesting if it actually WAS Mystique though, for reals.

Also, you know my favorite part was when Sylar killed Claire. For reals.

I clapped.

A lot.

And for a long time.

Some other stuff happened, the show actually stopped being all "pro-America and aren't we the best, brightest and the saviours of all" and made a real indictment of the post 9/11-era. That was fucking impressive and all. Terrorists, huh?

Bless your Petrelli-loving soul, I seriously doubt Nathan will die. He's such a key character. I thought of this episode as a deliciously OMG-inducing AU scenario. I personally loved, despite the fact it made me feel so extreme emotions (Ando killed? Micah killed? I weep, I really do).

I also hope Nathan doesn't die just because I love sharing this fandom with you, even though I'm not in it for the Petrellis and thus we're not completely on the same page. Still, you give me the Petrelli-loving view into this show & I dig that.

I think what I loved most was Sylar saying Nathan had turned against his kind before being murdered, and Peter just shouts Liar! because he *knows Nathan* and knows he wouldn't do that.

I love that Peter still has faith in Nathan - probably because he's now realised that in the recent years, Nathan hasn't been himself at all. Poor Peter. Poor Nathan!

And by sitting on each other's lap you mean slow sweet sex, right?

Or they could feed each other ice cream, off their naked bodies.

Ha! Seriously. The ep could have only been made more perfect if we discovered Nathan was tied up in the basement.

Peter was impossibly hot. I love every one of his scenes, especially his half-aggressive, half-needy kiss with Niki. Whew! Seriously go back and look at the way he grabs her face. He was ready to Sex her right there!

Seriously though, Peter was SMOKING last night, I was like, Uhhhhhhh, there is NO WAY Nathan would have let that out the house.

Dude when his hands lit up? I made a noise only dolphins in friggin Florida could hear.

This was totally Episode: Matrix. Really good :D Also, I don't think that they will kill off Nathan for real, not now that we've seen that Sylar impersonates him.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2007-05-01 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I kinda hope that if Monty and Simon have powers we don't find out about it for a while.

I think that should be the closing scene for the entire series, so obviously we won't see this for another six, seven years :)

Sylar really is obsessed with Mohinder. There's nothing he won't do to try to turn Mohinder to the psychopath side of the force, and have Mohinder by his side. If I liked either one of them better, I would totally write slash, but as it is . . . eh? I want my Nathan and Peter back.

I really want to write about this, I just don't have the time at the moment.

Take that, Tim!

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2007-05-01 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, please to not be talking about the condition of your pants. Just saying :)

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2007-05-01 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
More important, remember the first rule of comic book material: No one who dies stays dead.

Yeah, they said that about Kon-El too, but neither Tim nor I have seen him around these parts lately.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2007-05-01 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
My new crack-addled theory is that (somehow) Peter and Sylar are brothers (or half-brothers), because they both have the ability to absorb other Heroes' powers, but have to use different methods to do it. Also, since they have the Battle Royale, obvs they're two sides of the same coin, i.e. related.

Oh, yes, I've heard this theory being banded around for some time now. I'm sure they have something going on. Maybe they can be Castor and Pollux. I do so love my Greek Mythology.

But I don't care how (disturbingly) hot Sylar is, if present!Hiro fails to kill him, he kills Nathan. And that is Not On, Kring. Not. On.


Preach, baby. PREACH.

I never ever EVER saw the Milo thing and then last night I was like 'Good Lord!'

Though I did see a bits of younger, bloated Adrian in some Victoria Principal Lifetime movie this weekend and nearly plotzed. Thankfully those suits came to the rescue.

Harsh much?! LOL.

I wonder if he'll make it to the next reality.

Nah, too pretty and too simple. Although, you know, look at Mohinder; he makes it work. Oh, maybe we can only have one per timeline ;)

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2007-05-01 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, they really should have called it 'There is No Spoon'

[identity profile] fajrdrako.livejournal.com 2007-05-01 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
No, neither have I. Sometimes the return is not immediate. He'll be back. I'd predict it will take... oh, maybe another year, 18 months, real time.

I still don't think there's any chance we'll lose Nathan, even in the short term.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2007-05-01 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
a) Your icon is THE BOMB! In all the ways that that is possible.

b) I still cannot get over the idea that for the past five years Nathan has been dead and Peter didn't know. And that, like. Peter's Nathan has been dead for five years. I am only assuming that Peter left New York and Nathan after realizing the decision he made about letting him (BOMB) explode.

I whole-heartedly agree. I mean, does the strip club have some sort of protective force field (hey, that's totally possibly in comicsland!) and Peter's just immune to Nathan, or so he thinks. I still can't cope with Nathan being dead in any universe though, just saying.

But yeah, seriously, where are the power-crazed Nathan in the White House fics, where he is unwilling to let slightly unhinged (SMOKIN HOT) Peter out of his sight? Oval Office power play sex. I AM WAITING FOR IT, FANDOM.

Oh, dude. DUDE.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2007-05-01 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
The fact that Nathan and Peter weren't together was my main worry about what was going on with nathan.

Word. All I could think was 'Yes, but where's Peter? Yes, no, really, where's Peter? Nathan cannot possibly be right without Peter' and low and behold!

Bad Peter, no cookie!

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2007-05-01 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad everybody else understood, because mostly I just thought Nathan had been brain-wiped or body swapped or something -- I knew that wasn't my Nathan though. AND I CAN'T BELIEVE PETER DIDN'T REALIZE IT EITHER!

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2007-05-01 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Seriously though, Peter was SMOKING last night, I was like, Uhhhhhhh, there is NO WAY Nathan would have let that out the house.

EVERYTHING THAT TOUCHED HIM SIZZLED.


I was like, um, whoa.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2007-05-01 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Like I said, if they kill Nathan. I am gone.

Now with complete thoughts

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2007-05-01 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
With the whole degenerate air, and general pissiness (and the stripper girlfriend with a heart of gold), all while being the most powerful Hero, so made of awesome!

I just cracked up, stripper with a heart of gold and schizophrenia. And yes, okay, so Nathan's brilliant plan didn't work, but dude, to just RUN AWAY and STAY AWAY? Bad Peter, no cookie! I thought you were more loyal than that.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2007-05-01 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, quite.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2007-05-01 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Seriously, as much as I loved it, I can't be totally happy because of the whole Nathan being dead thing. That's just not cool.

Nathan was dead. DEAD. They killed Nathan. Last week it was Peter, this week it was Nathan. I am not keen on all these dead Petrellis, just saying.

I really, really want to hear about the fight that made Peter believe that Nathan would just let him Pleave like that. I do like that Peter ends up with a woman that he probably knows Nathan had sex with. Future Peter is so fuck up (and hot, god, so fucking hot!)

Yeah, you know my feelings on this. Lap-dances, err, sitting, huh?

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2007-05-01 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
But seriously, how obsessed is Sylar with Mohinder? It's like my 'ship came true, wtf?

I've been thinking about writing this for weeks now, I admit it, I just don't have the time.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2007-05-01 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I also hope Nathan doesn't die just because I love sharing this fandom with you, even though I'm not in it for the Petrellis and thus we're not completely on the same page. Still, you give me the Petrelli-loving view into this show & I dig that.

You are very sweet, thank you. Also, I see how Tim is all about the AU scenarios, so I'm waiting for him to create the one where Peter and Nathan are twins -- oh, wait, I wrote that one. Well, how about the one where they're lovers -- oh, wait, Tim wrote that one. Is there anything we're missing?

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2007-05-01 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I admit your icon makes me kind of tingly, but really, you know it's SO X-Men of them. Okay Pyro and Iceman, go play now.
