Can it be writing times nao?

My schedule is slammed. I mean damn. Of course now that I'm crazy busy (again) all I want to do is write Shia! Chuck/Bryce kidnapping-fic. Typical. So, like, last night there was some stuff of the telly. Let's talk about it.



[livejournal.com profile] serialkarma and I spent much of Chuck texting back and forth. Okay, I txted and she laughed at me.

Me: Chuck is so fricking adorable
Her: Duh.
Me: Chuck + Summer Roberts!
Me: Chuck is Seth. Only straight.
Me: Rachel Bilson is Josh's gay girl-crush. (Josh is the gay part of that equation in case you were curious).
Her: Good point!
Me: Wow, there was some vitriol in that line about cheating on your girlfriend, Rachel. Got something to say to Adam? Don't worry, you were too hot for him anyway.
Me: Britney for the climax scene? Wow. SO GAY, JOSH!
Me: Sarah/Chuck = meh. Sarah/Casey Jayne for the win!
Me: I think I may actually miss Harry Tang, which is prolly one of the more unfortunate names evar. Who wants hair in their Tang?

Re trailer for next week: If Bryce isn't in that cryo-container, I will choke a bitch.


Let me preface this next bit by saying I have been very unhappy with Heroes. (Shocker!) And I've made no bones about that. I decided last week that I would pull my very own Dallas and just disregard the first six episodes, because face it, we could all be more creative if we took a dump and smeared it on the walls Alvarez style.*

*Alvarez style = Oz reference for the unaware

Despite lots of txt messages promising me that I would approve of last night, I was like, I've been burned before! Screw you, Kring!




Three weeks ago, Tim Kring said fans were watching the show wrong. Last week ago he says, MY BAD! I Suxxors!! You can see how I don't believe a thing out the man's mouth. And yet, last night was kind of awesome.


1. Adam/Peter. Let's talk about that. Let's talk about how SARK can live forever, because that's SO fucking Sark, and we all know that he's the child Rambaldi was referring to. Sydney Bristow who? **

**Sydney Bristow = reference for the unaware

2. You expect me to believe Peter has been carrying his wedding picture to Nathan the whole fucking time after how dismissive he's was when he saw it? What the shit man? See, and this is yet another fucking reason that the first six episodes were full of shit. Peter did nothing but disregard that photo when he saw and now they're telling me he's been carrying it around? Suck my left tit, Kring!

2a. He finally remembers Nathan, son of a bitch that took long enough. I said that reunion wasn't going to happen before November sweeps! HAHAHAHAHA! I win all the cookies!

2b. Peter essplodes into bitty Petrelli pieces, and then comes back together, but his clothing is all whole? The fuck? Whatever, poor Nathan. *pets* Now all those flashbacks make sense. That's some hardcore PTSD, people.

2c. Wait. THE FUCK? Peter, you save Nathan and then you run the fuck AWAY? Did Nathan teach you nothing at all about sticking together? Nothing at all? Who was by your bedside every fucking time your ass was in hospital?! You save him, and then you wake up with blonde chickie (who kind of skeeves me out) all over you, and you're just like, oh whatevercakes? STAB! STAB! STAB! And then you STAY? Knowing that Nathan is out there on his own and fucked up from saving YOUR ASS? STAB!STAB!STAB!


[takes deep breath]

3. Niki. Yawn.

4. Adam/Peter take two. I KNOW one of them is jerking off while the other talks. I'll put money on it. [sidebar: I know David Anders is American, but thank God he's not talking with an American accent, because that would just be too weird. I know his pseudo-English accent is off, but it's still way better than the valley boy thing. ]

5. Nathan. Poor woobie. (Now, there's a word I've not used in a long time).

6. Elle is playing Delilah to Peter's Samson? Well, if it gets rid of that bad wig he had on in the beginning I'm totally down for whatever. That hair color didn't even look right next to Milo's skin! Less money on FX more on better make-up!

6a. Yeah, Elle… not really feeling you. I get the whole poor cooped up emotionally stunted sex kitten thing they are going for, but I don't find you attractive, just really poorly realized. Shocking people as a sexual release? Yeah, not really doing it for me.

6b. I like how they made sure to throw out Elle's age, so that everyone could see that she's the perfect age for Peter. Her 24 to his 26. Really subtle there, Kring, I'm sure the fans'll hop right on that that. Unless they all AU your ass and make Adam Claire's dad, so then that stuff is back on the line. Did I just make a case for the Claire/Peter people? Ew.


[Damn. My breakfast went cold.]

7. Some other stuff happens. And then there's the scene with Heidi. Someone somewhere once wrote Angela/Heidi, you must be feeling really proud of your ass right now. So, obviously Mama Badass' power has something to do with the power of suggestion via touch, but my extrapolation from that goes a bit further:

Everyone observes how much Nathan and Peter touch, yes? We have a whole fandom built around this. Who do you think they got that from? If Mama P can get you to do what she wants by touching you, you damn well can believe she used that on Nathan and Peter, and you damn well can believe that's where all the shoulder clapping and arm hugging come from. Nathan and Peter may not have her exact power, but for the first 20-30 years of their lives they’ve learned you could get someone to do what you wanted by touching them/steering them that way, so that's what they do. Just because they don't have this power, doesn't mean they can't manifest it in some manner. This is the power of suggestion, kids. It works well, no?


8. So, Peter and Elle are fooling around? Is that what's been going on next door to Adam's cell? Peter has seen more hetero action this season since I dunno when. Stop ramming it down my throat, Tim. My gag reflex doesn't approve.

9. The first time Peter walked through the walls of Adam's cells how many people could fucking see the glitter and porn? You know they took one look at each other and thought, "You are so much fucking hotter than I thought you'd be. I am SO tapping that ass."

[Which leads me to my favorite part...]


10. Adam actually keeps his word to Peter and gives Nathan his blood. This means two things to me.


a) Nathan is now going to live forever. Peter will never be alone. For some reason watching this scene cast me back about sixteen thousand years to my time in Smallville and the whole Supes thing. Superman will live forever. He'll never die. Everyone he loves will die, but not him. People who can't die, people like Kensei/Adam and Claire and Peter, lead a lonely existence without someone else by their side. Now, Peter has Nathan. That makes me VERY happy. That also sets the scene for about fifteen million super!future AUs, perhaps set in the 51st century with some guy named Captain Jack Harkness!

b) Nobody is selfless. Adam did this shit for a reason. He knows who Nathan is, because you know he knows Peter is a Petrelli. He may've been locked up for 30-odd years, but Nathan is at least 38, which means Nathan would've been 8 when Adam got locked away. Adam would have to know who Nathan is, and we already know that Adam was part of The Cabal, so yeah, altruism my ASS.


Other thoughts...

11. Death to the No-Wonder Twins! Death now!

12. I cannot believe DL went out like that. Tim, you are so sacked.

13. Adrian Pasdar, every day of my life you get hotter. Plz to continue with this.

14. There's a promotion NBC is running where you can design your own hero and the best one will be on the show. I've got a better idea, how about you kill a hero? Like you come up with the most creative ways to kill off a hero and the most creative one gets to 86 someone? Let's try that with the twins! Or Niki! Or Claire! I would SO be all about that promotion. I would work on it all the time, I swear.


Anyone can tell that this episode should have been the first one of the season. That's like basic math, so again, like I said, I'll just go Dallas on the first six episodes, except to wave Tim's stupidity flag in his face again. The WGA strike is not a pretty thing, but it's clearly the best thing to happen to this show since Adrian Pasdar was cast. It may not sound like it from all the hollering, but I did enjoy this. I mean, at least something happened for a change, right?
