Petrelli for Congress.

Trivia Moment: So, last night's episode of Heroes was called 'Landslide', like the Fleetwood Mac song, which was covered by who? The Dixie Chicks. Yeah, I prefer the Fleetwood Mac version myself.





1. Sylar was hotass last night. Do not fake on this. The world she is ending, and today my work load is completely off the chain, but I am so finishing my story Weapon of Choice when I am done. It will be my reward.

1a. I don't ship Mohinder/Sylar -- Mohinder is clearly too stupid to have survived this long without dumb luck and Sylar's beneficence. Darwin would have plotzed -- like all awesome mildly psychotic and selfish characters before him (Lex, Draco, Ari, George), who fell for some stupid boy, I just ship Sylar and whomever he wants

Yeah, those are my entire Heroes thoughts.

2. Oh, I don't like Heidi, I thought I would because, you know, LOIS from back in the General Hospital days ([livejournal.com profile] antheia!), but uh, yeah, no.

2a. I love you Mama P! You have the most awesome wardrobe ever!

2b. And Nathan called his daddy Pop! *draws hearts around Nathan*

2c. And Daddy P was Nathan's hero! *draws more hearts around Nathan*

2d. And Daddy P had powers! Which we'd all figured out by now anyway, but still. When do we find out what Mama P can do, apart from dress fiercely and cut you down with a single stare?

2e. Was there anybody who didn't see the healing-Heidi thing coming when Linderman was all, "I have a gift for you?"

3. Did we mention how hot Sylar was? [livejournal.com profile] slodwick and [livejournal.com profile] sameoldhope you were completely vindicated last night, all billains should run around in crazy expensive black wool.

3a. I am sorry that Hiro (rightly or wrongly) lost faith in Nathan. I think Nathan is sorry too.

4. Hiro and Mr. Sulu were off the chain. And Ando so loved his boyfriend that he went off to die for him. Wow.

5. Claire & Peter = Whatever

6. Ted. Agent Girl From Carnivale, you are stupid, why send a terrorist without some sort of escort? Not that that would've helped, but shiiiiiiiiiiit, at least put up a pretense of some sort.

7. I am sad that DL seems to be dead, but dude, the way he killed Linderman was AWESOME. I so prefer Jessica to Niki, just saying. Her whole morning jacket coat though, yeah, too many pleats in the back -- hey, I am a fashionista first.

7a. Didn't Nathan look crazy hot?

7b. Mr. Bennett is The Man. Not to be confused with THE MAN.

8. What else? Candice. I liked her last night. When she morphed into that black women and Micah was all, wow, and she was like, How do you know this isn't what I look like? I have to say, as a black woman if I could be anybody I'd still be me and not choose to be a white teenage girl, but whatever. Actually, no not whatever, just you know, think about that.


*pauses*

In conclusion: Sylar.

And Nathan



Call 660.833.4191 to hear a message from your new congressman. Really. Sometimes, when Peter misses Nathan and feels sort of stupid about it, he calls the Petrelli Campaign and listens to the recordings of Nathan's voice instead. That's my Random Peter Factoid of the Day. Yes, there is a story coming about this too.

ACK! Sorry, about the cut-tag issue! Is all fixed now!

I think he is too.


I agree. One day I would like to write another Hiro & Nathan story. *adds to list. Long, long, long list*

I totally wanted to talk with someone about the Candice thing and I think that's a brilliant take on it. It's clear she doesn't look like the body she has right now, especially when Micah was all how can you eat like that and look like that and she was all, "I don't." That was very telling, I was almost compelling to write a story about it. Okay, I *am* compelled, but I just don't have the time right now. *sigh* So many stories and NO time. Typical.

And I *think* I'm remembering the conversation accurately (or pretty much) as:

M: I know a guy who eats like you do. He's huge.
C: *snort* So am I.

I think this makes it clear that she's overweight (whether she's "huge" may be a matter of perception), and that's what got me thinking on the lines I was about her. I wonder even if she made herself look exactly like one of the girls who taunted her, or maybe who she just admired and wished she could be like, because she saw how those looks made the girl's life go more smoothly. Having worked in theater professionally, where a lot of people are very good-looking (though not as many as you see in TV or film), I at one point came to the conclusion that it was easy to be nice when you were really really pretty, because people were always nice to *you*. Now that's an over-simplification, but it was there right in front of me every day. People just naturally smiled and were friendly to someone who was really pretty. If you weren't, you had to work harder for that, at least in the business. I wasn't bitter about it at all (I had a good career and a good life), but I thought it was interesting. And it was interesting, too, how much of a big deal people made when someone really pretty was nice. Like, "And she's so nice." And I thought, "Well how hard could that be?" Anyway. I'm rambling. But I thought about all these things last night, and it made that character finally *human* to me.
