geebsEven more TV commentary:
Let's start with the B-plot. So Sylar has a new protege? Some people think it would be odd that Sylar wouldn't kill the kid for his power. Ida know. Between Ted and the melter guy's powers, Sylar can do whatever the kid can anyways, and I'm sure even Sylar gets bored and lonely. He did have a petite blond cutie he was effin'. BUT HE KILLED HER. (It still makes me so mad!) But, you know Sylar, always vamping for the crowd. He has to be Mr. Menace, but what good is it to cultivate such a persona if you don't have an audience? I mean, yeah, there's his victims, but obviously they're not talking. If you were him, wouldn't you want to witness your work? And there's the whole shared father-abandonment issues. He can be the father he never had to this kid. They can bond over the proper way to slowly cook someone alive!
Oh, their whole time reasoning thing never makes sense. Daphne tells Ando Hiro's alive because he has to be there in the future for him to kill! Its like they pick and choose whether or not they can change the future from ep to ep. Because no, they don't know if that will still happen! But she gets shot, so Parkman goes nuts and pushes the commandos to kill each other. I don't believe she's dead for one second though. I mean, I doubt they'd be all, "Oh, she's dead!", move along! I mean, would they really be so blase about her death?!
No, I'm sure we're supposed to think she's dead. That way she can be used against Matt later as leverage. He'll be all "revenge!" and they psych him out by going, "Nope, she's still alive!" But anyways, I've said before "pushing" is one of the top 5 powers I'd want. The list being in no particular order:
1) invisibility
2) super speed
3) pushing
4) telekinesis
5) fire or electricity control/microwave manipulation, well an energy manipulation power in general.
Well, the first three are the most important. I figured, with those three, you can have an out in any sitch. Run, hide, or make the people after you not be after you. Plus, invisibility and pushing have all sorts of fun applications. The latter two just look cool. And also have all sorts of fun appliacations.
But I digress, I knew Nate was an Uncle Tom, but I didn't realize he hid his powers status. You'd think people would be suspicious though. I mean, I'm sure they hid the mom's status also. But its like, gee, his daughter has powers, his brother has powers, he personally knows several people with powers? I'd be keeping a close eye on him!
I also found it interesting how they got Claire to play ball. Yeah, she's mostly invincible, unless someone shot her in the back of the head, but it took her seeing Davko as an unrelenting hunter who would do anything (including going after her mom and Kyle) to try and bring her in for her to stop being so willful.
And they do finally make it clear Peter can only do one power at a time now. That kinda sucks for him. But reading the TWoP recap, I'm skeptical the recapper was even paying attention to the ep. They're all Tracy was gonna double-cross Peter, but wasn't it clear that Peter was privy to that phone conversation, and they were trying to fool Nate into thinking Tracy was trying to buy her freedom by turning in Peter?
