The Infanta is displeased.

Why did no one tell me about Chuck? Y'all should be ashamed. He's so adorable. And geeky. And tall. And that one scene with the thing and the thing? Wow. Gay.

As for Heroes. Yeah, see, first I forgot it was even going to be on, which is never a good sign in a relationship, and then I knew something was up when I did the unthinkable and read sparky77 and scribblinlenore's reactions before the show aired. They confirmed my worst fears...

There's no Nathan in this episode. None. Nada. Niyet. Niente. And this is why I forgot Heroes was going to be on, because my Nathan radar didn't pick anything up.

No Nathan, no interest. I told y'all this back during mid-S1, when there was concern that Nathan might be offed. No Nathan no hackthis. Are they still showing K-Ville?

Although, apparently the PTB stuck Peter in a storage crate and shipped him off to the land of bad Irish accents, because they were so afraid of the BroYay. Yeah, really. That is why Peter's in fake!Cork with some chick they are shoving down his (and our) throat. They're so afraid of the BroYay that they made him forget Nathan and stuck in some chick.

Wow, that's some powerful fear there.

Oh, and welcome home Sylar. At least you're interesting.

+ West = Kon-El. You will never tell me different.

ETA: Someone somewhere said they gave TPTB two weeks to reunite Peter and Nathan. Personally, I see them dragging this out for a while, definitely until November sweep, which frankly, pains me a lot.

I am thrilled to see Damian Lewis back on my telly in Life. I just love how much enjoyment he seems to get out of that role; it makes me happy, which is good because I was not happy with the premiere of Friday Night Lights.

You got beef? Bring it on.

Um. I dunno. Frankly, I think Nathan being depressed as fuck, living in Peter's apartment, and wearing his clothes does not so much read as being afraid of the bro!yay. Also, I would lay money on Peter's memory loss being somehow related to believing he killed Nathan.

Not that I want to defend the Peter-with-amnesia plot. Because I really, truly hate it.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Wait, when was he wearing his clothes? I totally missed that part. You sure you're not putting fandom in there?

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

It's true. In the first scene when he's all drunk and sad and bearded, he's wearing Peter's shirt or something. I remember screen caps that prove it. Someone probably has them floating around.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Okay, so I shouldn't ponder the crack-fic for your birthday, especially since I forgot what you requested and should just write depressing!Nathan fic. *ponders* Nah. I did depressing!Nathan all S1, I want happy fic dammit.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

No!!!!!!!!!!! No depressing fic! I want happy, crack fic where Sylar has black light wings and Nathan is naked. Not together though. Because Nathan/Sylar is just weird.

Oh, thank god, I was going to have to say no to that. I don't have many standards, but that might've breached one.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

I want to pretend I'm kidding about the black light wings, but I'm kind of not.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I know you're not. I think that might be the really sad part.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

I like shiny things. And dude, leather pants and black light wings, it's what all the post-post-modern villains are wearing this season.

[47-trek-47.livejournal.com]

Well, he was absolutely, unquestionably wearing Peter's trenchcoat from the pilot in the premier (screencap evidence here (http://trkkr47.seeking-solace.com/4ML02.tiff) and Peter in the trenchcoat for reference here (http://images.teamsugar.com/files/usr/1/13839/bros.jpg)). Also, the brown shirt he was wearing was completely different from anything he wore in season one (but very similar to everything Peter wore), which makes me doubt he even owned anything like it, and he really isn't in good enough shape to be clothes shopping, ergo...

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Huh. (Yeah, I know, I got nothing more coherant than that).

[cleverthylacine]

It kind of totally pisses me off that Peter is trying to forget Nathan and Heidi dumped him for being freaked out that Peter died before four months had even gone by. Because hello, who took care of you when you were paralysed, and yeah, he had sex with Niki, but it wasn't like you two were getting it on with a spinal injury only 6 months old!

Nathan needs to be with someone who understands his awesomeness and will deserve him.

Someone like me really special.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

I mentioned Chuck, but I said I wasn't completely sold. This episode, however, was hilarious. And Captain Awesome may be one of the greatest characters ever.

The previews for next week showed a very, very hot Nathan (not that there's any other kind), so at least there's that.

Look at this way, this just proves that Nathan has been right along, Peter needs Nathan to tell him what to do or he acts like an idiot and as kelly_girl said, joins gangs.

You know, when I wrote 'wherever you go, the earth just opens up' and Peter and Nathan had amnesia and Nathan was looking at Peter's tattoo and Peter was all, "Maybe I was in a gang!" and Nathan laughed his ass off? Yeah, uh, it was supposed to be a joke.

I'd never really tried Chuck before, I'd seen it and been like, oh, whateva. But the tango? I was like, so, Captain Awesome is sleeping with Chuck's sister to get to Chuck. Wow.

There better be Nathan next week, I don't like this show without Nathan. Even though there is Sark. But he's on the wrong show. He's supposed to be on Burn Notice!

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

Yeah, uh, it was supposed to be a joke.
I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you. I swear.

Even though there is Sark. But he's on the wrong show. He's supposed to be on Burn Notice!
But he's totally going to have a threesome with Hiro and the cute Japanese chick who's name I can never remember. That should be fun for him.

And then he'll travel through time with Hiro and meet Nathan and Nathan will be all "You're kind of hot and my brother is kind of dumb, let's have sex." And they'll live happily ever after.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Yeah, uh, it was supposed to be a joke.
I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you. I swear.

I'm glad Tim liked the story, but I want my 10 fucking percent! I have bills to pay! I'm just saying. Also, dude, you need to stop screwing around with my head, because that's how things like Nathan/Michael happen.

"You're kind of hot and my brother is kind of dumb, let's have sex." And

Dude. Really. That would be very pretty, Nathan and Michael wouldn't it?

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

Nathan/Michael would be very pretty. And they would totally respect each other in the morning too. Especially because Michael could have sworn he tied those knots extra tight and he was pretty impressed that Nathan was able to get out of them, though he'll admit to not really trying to escape after Nathan threw him down on the bed.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Oh. Oh, I'd like that. All the pretty clothing and -- maybe Nathan hires Michael to find Peter. No, too emo. I think they would have lots of really pretty sex. Can't you see all that lean muscle with a thin layer of sweat over it. Nathan even looks good asleep. But Michael doesn't get involved with politicans because they make spies look like honest, law abiding citizens. *blinks* How does all this hotassery meet though? Help!

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

Maybe Angela has a house in Miami... and that is only leading me to thoughts of Sam trying to flirt with her which makes me laugh too much to think about anything else.

The Company people could try to recruit Michael and Nathan has to warn him off. And they can have clandestine meetings in seedy hotels that they both bitch about and then agree that next time they're going to meet at a 4 star hotel. And Michael can meet Mohinder and start to give him lessons in being a good uncover agent and then realize what he's working with and shake his head and walk away and then have more clandestine meeting with Nathan. Nathan will wear really hot sunglasses for their meetings. And they might arrange to meet in Miami at a pool where there would be wetness and then nakedness.

[ladyjestyr.livejournal.com]

a good uncover agent

Freudian much? :)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

He got into a physical altercation with his mother and threw her out of Peter's apartment. And this is after he left his wife. To live in his brother's apartment and hoard all his things in perfect condition until he returns.

Okay, there is that. I'm just pissy because there's no wrap up from last week at the police station. I want some fucking closure, dammit!

Now, that doesn't mean TPTB didn't go out of their way to het-up and break up every fan fucking favorite this year, however- TPTB are dumb boys, the same kind of dumb boys who don't understand how freaking slashy and dysfunctional Batman and Nightwing are, so thus, the Bro!Yay is saved.

Yeah, they need to learn how to share with the fans. To people who don't think Batman is gay, gay, gay, I just point out that for X number of years he had a sidekick named Dick, who lived in his HOUSE. Nuff said.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

They need to get back to Nathan's storyline, because, well for lots of because, but mostly because I want to see how they tame AP's new arty hair, and also, because he's the only character who still seems like himself. Which sounds absurd on its face, but you know what I mean!

I want all Nathan, all the time. For purely selfish reasons, yes, but at least with him something happens. This is just boring. And pissy-making. Not that that's a proper hyphenate or anything. But it is. Also, re: Batman and spanky pants -- yeah, I got nothing.

maybe I think we should be glad they don't actively try to embrace the !Yay. In fact, I'm squirming in discomfort, imagining the way canon slash would unfold with these people.

I dunno, the Matt/Mohinder seems to be just chugging along ;-)

[transtempts.livejournal.com]

sark *should* be on burn notice, and life reminds me a little of touching evil, in that the male leads are damaged but smart men. also, the lack of nathan displeases me too. where are the parallel petrelli storylines?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Sark is the only thing missing from Burn Notice, really. I've not seen Touching Evil, but I've heard about it, is it on DVD?

[trascendenza]

Touching Evil, alas, is not on DVD. But it's floating around online. Of which I could e-mail you more details about, if you were interested. Jeffrey is utterly fantastic in his role on that show.

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

If you don't want to go to the effort of *ahem* acquiring Touching Evil, I can provide you with discs. That it isn't out commercially is a tragedy.

[transtempts.livejournal.com]

as is mentioned below, there are ways of acquiring this show, since dvds have not been released.

[kelly-girl.livejournal.com]

I going with the theory that while this episode contained no Nathan except in the previews, the next episode will have double the Nathan.

An excess, or overload of Nathanness. So much Nathan we will become Nathanful. Nathan will be like a thanksgiving turkey and we will have so much that we'll have to sit on the couch and groan and maybe unbutton our pants.


*Oh and your mood wings have given me the most evil plot bunny ever. If this gets written you are to blame.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You people need help. sparky77 wants me to give Sylar black light wings for her birthday. I'm, uh, I dunno how it's going to happen, but I think it actually is. Oh, the shame. Oh, the crack!

[cleverthylacine]

That is so disturbingly hot.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Oh dude, that would be awesome. He'd spread out those wings, and suddenly you'd see all the blood of his victims glowing around him. That would be SO AWESOME.

That's what I said! About the blood of his victims. Maybe they are blood-thirsty wings! Wow, he really could turn into Doc Ock or something.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

we will have so much that we'll have to sit on the couch and groan and maybe unbutton our pants.


Darling, you're not supposed to mention that last bit in public. Just saying. Also, yay crack!fic!

[kelly-girl.livejournal.com]

we will have so much that we'll have to sit on the couch and groan and maybe unbutton our pants.

Ha! I truly did not think of that when I typed it out. I was still into my Nathan as the Thanksgiving turkey metaphor thing.

Crack fic to Heroes is like Peanut butter to Jelly.

[trascendenza]

November? O_O Good God, I hope not. That would be a painfully long time to drag out the Peter amnesia storyline, and if I have to see more painful kisses between him and Caitlin I very likely will throw something at the TV.

Perhaps they are in cahoots with the people at Sony? For every telly with a shoe through it in disgust, Tim get 10%. Hey, it worked for the Nissan Versa, right?

[scribblinlenore.livejournal.com]

Next week looks like it's going to be a Nathan extravaganza. Clearly, they know they need to make it up to us for the complete Nathanlessness this week.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

All Nathan All the Time! Yis. I miss The Petrelli Show, other people do not interest me. I am selfish that way, but I never claimed to be otherwise!

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

Why did no one tell me about Chuck? Y'all should be ashamed.

*raises eyebrow at you*

[lyra-sena.livejournal.com]

Love Chuck. Lovelovelove.


But I love MORE Damien Lewis. I didn't realize he was the same guy from Band of Brothers, but I told SK after watching one episode of Life: "I am weirdly totally in love with him." And then I found out he was Winters in BoB and quickly realized why my love was so pure and deep and epic. I didn't expect to like Life, but lord does he ever make it worth it.

You didn't *remember*? I always remember red heads with freckles, especially when they are English but speak clearer American English than most Americans.

I'm in Australia so season two won't be showing here anytime soon. I've been watching the first two episodes off *gasp* youtube, the quality of which is just terrible, the only thing that kept me watching the segments (the videos are divided for easier upload) is the anticipation for the Nathan/Peter reunion to happen (of course a naked and oiled Peter was very very pretty in the two episodes but is by itself probably not enough to prompt me from watching it on youtube). Gosh, November?
