oyceterBrief notes and fun with pronouns!
Spoilers through 1x20
Dude! Sylar as Nathan totally drops hints throughout the episode! He asks Matt specifically if he's sure our Hiro isn't an illusion ("You never know these days") and he mentioned that he knew how things worked to Mohinder. Also, there is even more Mohinder/Sylar slashy vibe going on.
Of course, the main purpose I rewatched was for the Hiro and Ando scenes, all of which still rock. Brief language notes: our Hiro refers to himself as "boku" (for those who aren't anime/manga fans, this is the somewhat younger and less aggressive sounding male pronoun for "I") whereas future Hiro refers to himself as "ore" (super masculine "I"). Future Hiro also addresses Ando as "omae" (super masculine "you"), and I never caught him actually referring to Ando by name, so I'm not sure if he dropped the "-kun" from "Ando-kun" or not (our Hiro calls him "Ando-kun," dropping the -kun would indicate more intimacy, though adding a -san would indicate less). Our Hiro calls Ando "kimi" in the beginning and probably does throughout the show (more polite, less macho).
But! When future Hiro starts talking to Ando and mentions that "it wasn't as fun without you," he switches over from "omae" to "kimi" (more intimate, less masculine)! Awwwww!

Wed, May. 9th, 2007 02:18 pm (UTC)I was buzzing away to my flatmate about the Sylar and Mohinder vibe - this forming of a personal connection makes Sylar so much more interesting! Does he want a friend, a pet, an idealised replacement of the mentor he was hoping Mohinder's father could be? The whole time I was watching the latest episode and everyone was talking solemnly about how Molly would find Sylar, I was like 'ahaha, you GUYS, just wait around for him to call Mohinder again.'

Wed, May. 9th, 2007 07:46 pm (UTC)I am sort of boggled by the Sylar-Mohinder relationship, esp. Sylar actively reaching out to Mohinder. I mean... mass murderer brain eater! Who seems to think Mohinder will understand him or something!
