"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 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?

I knew last week that wasn't Nathan, just from the painting that Sylar did I figured out his whole plan to kill Nathan and steal his Presidency. I totally called it last week (http://ladyclio16.livejournal.com/95993.html#cutid1). I think I was the only one who wasn't shocked. (I wasn't spoiled for it either. I'm going to stop bragging at some point I swear I will.

My theory on why Peter didn't realize Sylar had taken over Nathan's life has to do with some obvious rift occurring. I don't think it was a big I hate you rift. I think it had more to do with guilt. The guilt of Peter being the bomb and letting Nate cover that fact up for him. I think it ate away at them until they couldn't even stand to be around one another any more. The guilt of all those people dying and they couldn't stop it, Nathan even gained from it politically.

Nikki became the one who took care of Peter. He could just hide and literally be invisible. She would take care of every thing. He didn't have to see or be seen by anyone he didn't want to. She took over as his new Nathan. Except he didn't need taken care of anymore the lesson Nathan is just starting to learn I think. Which may be the other thing that drove Peter and Nathan apart. The new change in their dynamics that is happening.

Yes, I agree, I'm exploring this in a story I'm drafting right now.

It was so obvious both Sylar!Nathan (which is weird considering he was't even really Nathan) and Peter fell into old patterns,just with different people. I can't wait to read it.
