Heroes - Four Months Ago

(Adam tells Peter to think about the things that matter to him or some such; Peter takes out the photo of him and Nathan)
shrift: *flaily hands*
tzikeh: *flaily hands*
shrift: *flaily hands*
tzikeh: *pauses TiVo* Okay, I think the flaily hands mean we should pause, or....
shrift: I'm not in it for the incest or the RPS, or --
tzikeh: Neither am I, but --
shrift: When they just HAND it to you --
tzikeh: I KNOW!
shrift: *more flailing*
tzikeh: I mean, Peter's passport says he's a woman, and --
shrift: And NATHAN
tzikeh: It's like a WEDDING picture
shrift: They went and got married, and
tzikeh: So Peter is a girl and there's all this and Nathan's a New York -- does this make Nathan Rudy Giuliani?
shrift: Except *he's* not the one who's cross-dressing!
tzikeh: Good luck running for office, there, Nathan.
shrift: So it's a transsexual gay --
tzikeh: Okay, we have to pull it together, because this is supposed to be a really serious episode.
shrift: (points at the television) YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!!

 

1) Mama Petrelli totally has the Power of Persuasion. It was one of the two powers I suspected she had, and I think it's about 99% confirmed at this point.
2) Hand-wavey: those cells would be wired for video and sound for constant monitoring.
3) Niki should be so mentally fucked up at this point that she *shouldn't* be let out of the facility.
4) Hand-wavey: If you've never kissed, you wouldn't know how to kiss like Elle kissed Peter.
5) Elle - wow. You're fucked up.
6) Hand-wavey: Peter traveled by freight container to Ireland. And... he's not dead of dehydration (or sitting in his own waste) why?
7) Okay, so Adam's "immortal", but that's due to his power, which is that his blood is a constant regenerative. Nice.
8) Hand-wavey: NO reports, ANYWHERE, about what happened in Kirby Plaza? Or at least about the GIANT EXPLOSION IN THE SKY? And, if not, then why put this viral video out on the web last week?
9) Maja and Alejandro - your backstory still doesn't make me interested in you.
10) The Haitian is called "The Haitian". Maybe his dampening powers make everyone forget his name all the time. There you go. Fixed that for you.
It goes to 11) When do the "A man walks into a bar" jokes begin?

Well, Adam did say that he'd given in some time ago, and he was still paying for it. Maybe he taught her?

Who the FUCK is Elle's "Dad"? Please don't tell me it's Bob.... :(

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

I have no idea who Elle's dad is -- and didn't Elle say she'd never been kissed? Or am I making that up. Maybe she said she'd never been on a date.

11) When do the "A man walks into a bar" jokes begin?

A man walks into a bar. The bartender, unaccustomed to seeing his patrons phase through solid objects, draws a gun and shoots him dead.

...GET IT?? (Hey, it was lame when the show did it, too. :)

[leaper182.livejournal.com]

That was it -- she'd never been on a date.

Dude, even if she weren't locked up, no guy with a sense of self-preservation would date her.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

LOL! I meant more because of the shot of Nathan at the door of the bar, but that'll do.

[serrico.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I tried to come up with one for Nathan, but the DL one was *right there*. And I am just that willing to go for the obvious. *g*

Bwah! Indeed.

I'm afraid Nathan's arrival to the pub might bring back the Horrible No Good Very Bad Accents. *shudder*

Well, if she set her grandma's house on fire, outed power in four counties, and ended up on lithium, all by the tender age of nine, maybe her biological family decided good riddance and handed her over to the Company. Which I guess could make Bob her surrogate daddy. He kind of sucks at it, though.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Just from the "I set my gramma's house on fire" line, I predict that Claire's bio-mom is also Elle's.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Well, the two main Irish characters are dead or trapped in the future, so let's hope not.

Oh, *Nathan*.

[raincitygirl.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that'd be a neat twist. And Hayden Panettierre and Kristen Bell even look superficially alike. Not really figuring out how that reference to her grandma's house sent you off in that direction, though. Hey, it's tired,a nd I'm sleepy.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Not really figuring out how that reference to her grandma's house sent you off in that direction, though.

Because Claire's mom was fire-starter-woman. She set the fire in which she "died", and from which Claire was "rescued".

[no-detective.livejournal.com]

Aaaaand this means Peter might be Elle's... second cousin?

(That's a wild guess; I've never been able to figure out the American familial system.)

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Hee. Claire is Nathan's daughter by Firestarter, so if Firestarter had Elle with another man, then Peter and Elle are not blood relations. Elle's blood comes from Random Man and Firestarter. Claire's blood comes from Nathan and Firestarter. Claire and Elle share blood (if this theory is true), but Elle and Nathan do not. Basically, Elle would be Peter's niece's half-sister through another bloodline, not through Peter's family's bloodline.

[raincitygirl.livejournal.com]

Oh, for fuck's sake, of COURSE.

*headdesk*

Okay, it's officially time for me to go to bed now.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

That could be interesting as basically all of this woman's offspring would have gone to the Company and Company Men to raise. Elle is 24 and Claire is 16 so it would make sense that Elle's fire came first, before Claire was born and maybe grandma had custody? I'm kinda reaching but I like the idea of Bennet knowing about Elle and being afraid of that happening to Claire. Also, I am watching too much Dexter.

[leaper182.livejournal.com]

That's quite possible. I was just remembering the first ep where Elle showed up where she's on the phone with someone she referred to as either Dad or Daddy, so I was wondering about that.

[yahtzee63.livejournal.com]

In fairness, Elle didn't say she'd never been kissed before -- only that she'd never been on a date. I think it's fair to assume she might have accumulated some experience regardless, especially given Adam's mention that he "turned to her in a moment of weakness four years ago." Adam might not be referring to anything romantic/sexual, but I think that's a reasonable possibility.

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

#5: Oh yeah. Seriously, Elle creeps me out more than just about any character ever. I find her FAR creepier than Sylar. I think because Sylar feels somehow forced to do what he does, but Elle enjoys it so much.

$6: Because he's Speshul. :-)

#9: Same here.

[shayheyred.livejournal.com]

I've decided the Haitian's name is Haitian. Alphonse Q. Haitian.

[no-detective.livejournal.com]

LOL - thank you!

Somebody should really make a Heroes vid to "We Are Family"...

[bluerosefairy.livejournal.com]

Mama Petrelli totally has the Power of Persuasion. It was one of the two powers I suspected she had, and I think it's about 99% confirmed at this point.

. . . dude, she's got The Whammy. AWESOME. I had suspected it, but wasn't sure until this ep.

tzikeh: Okay, we have to pull it together, because this is supposed to be a really serious episode.
shrift: (points at the television) YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!!

*falls over laughing*

Dexter -

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Note to self - when you have not yet seen a *single* episode of the second season of Dexter, do *not not not not not not not not not NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT* open a TV Guide.

AUGH....

As for Elle and Claire - yeah, that's an interesting theory, that because Elle went first, Bennet (even though he *pretended* not to care about Claire, the old softy) absolutely wanted to keep her out of there.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

True enough re: Adam and Elle. It just annoys me, those tiny details they let go, like you know, just once I'd like to see a character on tv who is typing on a computer keyboard *actually typing like someone who knows how to type*. Or better yet, THE ACTOR KNOWS HOW TO TYPE.

Just sayin'.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

We used to call him "Bob the Haitian", but now we can't because there *is* a "Bob" on the show.

Though I guess having the name "Haitian" makes it easy for people to remember your nickname - "Hey!"

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

The Whammy.

HEE! Yes. Last season, I went back and forth between "prophetic dreams" and "power of persuasion" (henceforth "The Whammy" ), but I'm putting my money down on it being overt now.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Maja/Alejandro -- boring pretty much everyone since 2007.

[litalex.livejournal.com]

Actually, I think Nathan is more like Patrick Darling in Dirty Sexy Money, running for office while having an affair with a transsexual. :)
