Heroes 2x03 Kindred

[oyceter]

Well, I finally got around to finishing the ep, and the only reason why I didn't end up throwing something at the screen was because I chose to knit my lace shawl while watching, which means I could half pay attention.

I don't have much to say except ARGH and ARGH and WHY SHOW WHY?

Seriously? West? Seriously? Ew!

Bored by the Peter plot.

Was going to throw something at the screen if Hiro had left. Am still very not happy about Yaeko strolling off with Kensei. Ew. Ew. Ew.

Already posted about DL and how that had better be a red herring.

In conclusion: ARGH WHY SHOW WHY?

He could have taken that box from Irish Gangster in a heartbeat and bypassed the boring robery altogether.

I thought the scene with him yelling, "Sparks!" without getting anything meant that he couldn't summon up the powers whenever he wanted to, unless he was emotionally ramped up the way he was in 2.02. At least, I think that's what they were going for.

They had better treat DL's mom right, and not kill her off.

I'm actually not even convinced that DL is dead, but time will tell, I guess. It's strange, because he was in the original S2 promo pics, IIRC.

I get your point about Peter, but I'm still very, very unhappy with his storyline. I think that the box moment was emotionally fraught enough for some sort of power flare-up (even if it was a useless power for the situation in question). *shrug.* But as I said, Peter is far from my favourite so I didn't come into this season willing to give his storyline the benefit of the doubt.

I hope that DL's death is a fakeout, but I'm not counting on it one way or another.

Considering how much I liked Heroes last season, I'm willing to wait things out in the hopes that even the squicky elements of this season will gel into something worthwhile.

I so yelled at the TV with the whole "Oh, we'll open the box later. Probably during sweeps" thing, which was so cheap!

I am also hoping DL's death is a fakeout, but I keep hoping that for so many of the deaths so I am not sure.
