Wow. Some of you guys write NOVELS! Heh.

"PREVIOUSLY: Adam shoots some random woman who nobody cares about! Bob is a bad daddy! Ted's Moulin Rouge-ness lives on in Micah, as he, too recites fragments of lyrics! Micah: We could be heroes! Monica: Just for one day! Alejandro...speaks English? Or at least one sentence. Although "I'm taking my sister" isn't usually the first thing people learn in a different language. When I learned Spanish, I think the first thing they taught me was "Hola, como estas?" not "Me estoy saliendo con mi hermana", which is my rough and possibly grammatically incorrect translation of "I'm taking my sister". Hmm. Sylar has no traces of a scar despite having been cut open by a samurai sword! Mohinder dances stupidly with the devil! Claire is mad and irrational! Hiro is emo and irrational! There shall be no cure for Niki! Mo and Matt hire extremely stupid babysitters!" - somethingastrue

"Previously on Heroes: everything went to hell." - aunt_zelda

Adam, Hiro, Peter

"Like: OMG, if one-sided Adam/Hiro (where Adam ? Hiro, not the other way around) becomes any more canon, this episode is going to explode from The Homodrama." - greyelveneyes

"And, c’mon Adam! You can pull a Kill Bill moment and break out of that shit. You’re Adam/Takezo Fucking Monroe/Kensei. I find it hard to believe that he’ll be stuck in there." - greyelveneyes

"Hiro is SO Inigo Montoya! "Adam Monroe killed my father, and for that, he must pay" is not a far cry from "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die." Now all we need is for Bob to pop in and call someone a hippopotamic land mass, and we'll be all set for "The Princess Bride WITH POWERS!"" - somethingastrue

"Peter is staunchly defending his boyfriend from Hiro, despite Hiro popping up all over the place like a Whack-A-Mole and giving very good reasons why he SHOULD be allowed to kill Sexy David Anders. Sadly, before Hiro can remove Peter’s head, Peter channels Veronica Mars and knocks Hiro out." - aunt_zelda

"Pete and Adam kick a lot of ass. Actually, Adam's just using Peter for all his groovy abilities, which Peter's all too happy to show off. Peter asks Adam if he really killed Kaito, and Adam's all, "Yeah, I did that shit." Peter's upset and whines about being lied to (not like there isn't an international society of folks who have successfully lied to Peter), but then Adam's like, "Your girlfriend in the future? Remember her? Open this door and give us some special effects, goddamit." Peter makes constipation faces as he tries to TK a fucking VAULT DOOR off. Adam, you may be evil, but you bring out the best in a guy. (Jerry just texted me to point out that they could have just phased through the door. Er, yeah, true. *sigh* Score negative one for the writers, for having to conveniently forget that Peter can phase. It does suck when you have an übermensch; you have to make things harder than they ought to be, otherwise there's no story.)" - terebi_me

"Peter finally gets a clue, and goes running back to the vault. Inside, Hiro has ported in, and he and Adam have a little talk about how sometimes God treats the planet like a dry-erase board, and Adam's just a teeny bit godlike. Hiro finally grabs Adam and ports them away from there, but not before Adam drops the vial of the Killer Killer Bad Virus! AAAAAH! It tumbles in slow motion like the spaceships at the beginning of 2001." - terebi_me

"Man, Milo Ventimiglia's freaky mouth and David Anders's freaky mouth should have freaky mouth babies. Just like ZQ's eyebrows and Robert Sean Leonard's eyebrows need to mate and have crazy caterpillar eyebrow babies." - molly_commas

Nathan, Matt, Angela

"Then I started thinking about the distance between New York, NY, and Odessa, TX (roughly two thousand miles) and about the fact that Matt outweighs Nathan by (at least) about 50 pounds. Does Nathan have superhuman endurance/stamina as well as supersonic flight?!" - greyelveneyes

"Does anybody actually believe that Nathan's dead? Yeah, I didn't think so. (That was some rather precise wording on the part of the television announcer: Nathan was simply "shot," not "shot and killed," even if they did also use the term "assassin.") As far as cliffhangers go, I can think of better ones; you know, like ones that aren't a near carbon copy of the cliffhanger from last season. Sigh." - phoenixchilde

"Hehe, Matt is like "WE IS GOING TO CRASH AND DIE!" and Nathan replies, "YOU IS FAT, I MUST STRETCH!" and then they agree that "THAT WAS NOT MANLY, THERE WILL BE NO SPEAKING OF THIS EVER!" Someone had better have gotten a picture of that. Peter and Mohinder could use it as blackmail. Hah, Christmas this year is gonna be sweet, guys." - somethingastrue

"Angela reprimands Nathan because he sprung her out of jail. He's such a horrible son, really. It would be so much easier if he was just trying to take over the world like her other one. Then she could tell people to kill him and not feel guilty about it one bit." - vampedvixen

"Another season ended, another annual Nathan montage speech and another Petrelli possibly dead. I wonder if Peter will grow a beard this time. Goddess, I hope not!" - vampedvixen

"Every scene with Angela makes me realize all of the reasons her kids are so messed up. Even if they aren't sleeping together. I wonder if Peter knows his mother tris to kill him in the last episode of every season? I want that scene - "Mom, really, again? But I got a haircut and everything!"" - sadiane

"And Nathan IS WORKING AS A CARGO JET! New York is one long flight - I want the fic where we find out what they talked about this entire time - perhaps Nathan is the only person who really knows what on earth is going on with Matt/Mohinder and the apartment of ever expanding bedrooms. These two are so great together - I want some sort of cop/lawyer buddy movie, but with superpowers." - sadiane

"Angela Petrelli is COLD, you guys. I'm 99% sure she sleeps in a coffin and bathes in the blood of virgins." - byakuganchick

Sylar, Maya, Mohinder

"I rejoiced when they killed Squid Flu, I did, and even more so because Sylar rolled his eyes and shot her. Which proves my theory that he’s just been putting up with her shit because he couldn’t kill her until he got to ~~his boyfriend~~ Mohinder." - greyelveneyes

"“I have a sickness that comes out of me” has to be one of the grossest lines I've heard on this show to date. It makes me want to avoid Maya like the plague carrying sicko that she is. Although, I think I may have to remember that line for the next time I'm hungover and paying homage to the porcelain god." - vampedvixen

"Tweedledumb serves breakfast and puts the slash on a slow simmer, until she’s all ‘Is that why you can’t kick ass with your powers anymore, Gah-briel?’ and Mohinder grabs a knife but Sylar has a gun and then Tweedledumb revs up her Ojos de Negro Muerte." - aunt_zelda

"Sylar injects himself in some sketchy alley. All his cuts heal. He TKs an empty can of spinach into his hand and, ignoring the impending Popeye jokes, says “I’m baaaaaaack.”" - aunt_zelda

"Sylar: "You want to get rid of your powers, I want mine back. After Suresh fixes me, I'll gladly takes yours off your hands." Wow. He hasn't lost it. He still wants every single power within his reach. I love you crazy psycho killer ?" - canadian_turtle

"AHAHAHA SYLAR THINKS HE'S A BOND VILLAIN. He should totally have been stroking Mr Muggles when he turned around, and gone "Ah, I have been expecting you, Dr Suresh!" in the kind of weird French-ish all-purpose Bond-villain voice that everyone does." - cazrolime

"It probably makes me a terrible person that my first thought when Maya got shot was: "well, it was in the neck, so at least her brains are still there for the taking"." - cazrolime

"HAHAHA THE APRON. MOHINDER'S I'd assume. Was that a present from Molly or from Matt?! Or did Mohinder find that amongst Chandra's Boxes of Shame as a Christmas present that he gave Chandy many a year ago but Chandy sort of packed away out of embarassment?! It's a definite possibility! Heroes: Perpetuating the Daddy Issues in new and innovative ways since like...forever." - jesslared

"Sylar takes Mo, Molly, and Maya to Isaac's apartment, er, Mo's lab, er, Isaac's final resting place. 215 Reed Street, Lower East Side. Sylar gloats about killing Isaac right where they're standing. Mo convinces Sylar to take his shirt off - er, to give him a blood sample - and Mohinder shoves a giant horse syringe halfway through his elbow. For frak's sake. Smile for the security cameras, Mohinder." - terebi_me

"In the wake of the assassination of the best hair in Primetime Television, the *only* way I will consider giving Maya the time of day is if she is able to control her power enough so she can harness it and use it for selective targeting. Because HP relates to everything, it would be kinda like wandless magic, she wouldn't have to get weepy and she could wear sunglasses so you will never know when she will strike, or at least those transitions lenses that darken when you go outdoors... I don't want to waste the awesomeness of a Cory Hart reference on this character. She still has a lot to prove, even if she makes a mean chili killi (I'm pretty sure that is what he called it... if it was something else let me know!)." - finchburg

"Oh, man, how much smarter does Mohinder look when Maya is in the same room? Then again, I think everybody's IQ skyrockets when she's around to compensate, like she's shooting spare brain cells out of her ears and people kind of have to pick them up like lint on a black coat." - trollprincess

"Anyway, Maya's making breakfast for her boyfriend and her boyfriend's boyfriend. You know Mohinder probably has weird anal issues about people touching his cookware. Touching Sylar is one thing, but using his spatula? Blasphemy." - molly_commas

"That apartment is now the apartment of death. If you walk into it and people don't care much for your character, you're doomed. Simone, Isaac, Maya. Dead dead dead." - byakuganchick

Claire, West, HRG, Lyle

"The end of West/Claire! *TRUMPET FANFARE*" - phoenixchilde

"Mo still thinks Sylar wants to snack on his head. It's kind of wigging him out. That, and the fact that he's finding out that Sy's been telling random South American chicks that they're bffs, and Mo never agreed to being bffs with a serial killer. However, he really has no choice." - somethingastrue

"Maya's like a turtle. When she gets scared, her mouth opens and her neck goes away." - somethingastrue

"Where did HRG get that bouncy ball? Does it come free in the package of Primatech pajamas?" - vampedvixen

"West has become a sweet, young man who wants to live humbly amongst the other humans. And Claire, missing the creepy, stalker boy who used to freak her out dumps him. WTF?" - vampedvixen

"Who figured it was wise to give Noah a stress ball? For all they know he'd MacGyver a weapon out of it or a device he can escape with..." - canadian_turtle

"LYLE. HOW SILENT YOU ARE. I swear Volume 3 is going to be all about Lyle, who resorts to drastic measures and becomes the most sinister presence on the show, all because he has yet to get a little thing called a 'storyline.'" - jesslared

"West comes and tells Claire not to go public, because he likes his secrets. Holy shit, West is talking sense. Of course Claire will not listen to sense. She dumps him, he lifts off, and Mr. Muggles is once again the best animal character ever. "You won't leave me, Mr. Muggles?" Claire asks hopefully, and Mr Muggles runs the fuck away from that death magnet in a cheerleader's skirt. But it's because HRG's come home, and Claire suffers a fatal heart attack. You can't tell by looking at her, but she totally does. She heals from it right away, and then she has a stroke, and then she dies of adrenaline poisoning, but you can't really tell because she regenerates really fast." - terebi_me

"Dear show, please don't get rid of West now that you've stopped writing him like a gravity-defying major in professional stalking." - trollprincess

Bob, Elle

"Ooh! Over-the-glasses shot, like they do for HRG! Bob cannot steal the wonderful Bennet's camera angles, bad Bob!" - somethingastrue

"Apparently, sadism runs in the Bishop family. Better than the incest that runs through the Petrelli family, I suppose." - vampedvixen

"Elle thinks she’s going to bring down Sylar herself and impress her father (who tortured her when she was seven years old ‘for science.) I think she and the Tenth Doctor have both got that ‘kid who’s going to dig a hole to China *determined face*’ thing going on." - aunt_zelda

Nikki

"...Oh yeah and Niki died. Hmm...how 'bout that?" - krilymcc

In Conclusion

"The entire cast of Heroes owes me for my therapy bill." - anthean

See you guys next season!

2007-12-12T04:14:07Z

The meta for the season finale should be up later this week by thecullenforce. We thank you for your patience!

meta: episode 210

2007-12-04T03:43:44Z

Sorry this is late, I've had it done for a couple hours now, but I was hesitant to post it. I guess I'm in denial that this is the last episode for awhile. Hope everyone enjoys/enjoyed "Powerless" tonight!

Peter & Adam

“I won’t let you hurt him!” Perhaps if Peter wasn’t so dim he’d see that Adam did that face-twinge-I’m-LYING-thing back at Badass Vicky’s place, but David Anders’ sexiness has gotten to the poor boy. So he powers-up Veronica Mars’ electroshock therapy to defend his latest snarky English boyfriend.
- aunt_zelda

Thanks to Victoria, Adam and Peter now have a matching wardrobe. Big bloody holes in your shirt are soooo hot this winter.
- lin

From most people, refusing a gun would be a gesture of pacifism. From Peter, it's just common sense.
- lienne

You can take Peter away from his emo bangs, but you can't take the emo bangs out of Peter. Or something.
- cazrolime

OK that photo from the 70's?! I was seriously hoping Adam would be mad pimpin' in those huge platform shoes that had the goldfish in them and some sort of polyester sequined disco suit and gold chains and the whole works. I mean, after 400+ years, there really has to be a whole arsenal of pictures showing Adam in embarassing trends throughout the centuries.
- jesslared

Interesting that regenerative Heroes are kinda like vampires -- you gotta lop off their heads.
- nevermindirah

Okay, so why doesn't someone PLEASE ask what Angela Petrelli can do? People keep mentioning that she has a power and not once has anyone even though of going "Oh really? What can she do?" Not even Peter! If someone insinuated that my mom had a super power, I'd so be going "Really!? WHAT? WHAT IS IT!?"
- byakuganchick

Claire, Elle & Co.

Meanwhile, Lyle pretends he's stoned and phones in his entire scene. He's all "Dad's not evil.. *rolls eyes*.. I'll be in my trailer, call me if I ever get a story line".
- vampedvixen

She punches her way through the car's window, then holds up the glass-spiked, bloody fist in Elle's face. Elle looks fascinated. Claire says she's taking everything public. Elle says nothing. West is posing for Superdweebs Quarterly. Mr. Muggles's fluffy coat is resplendent.
- terebi_me

I am very amused by Kyle, calmly lounging around the house as his mummy threatens people with firearms. Because that happens every day, obviously. He's probably thinking 'what do you mean, things aren't normal anymore? Things have NEVER been normal'. He's so neglected, though. In season 5 he'll turn into the villain, sourly projecting his issues onto a need for world domination. "YOU WERE ALWAYS THE FAVOURITE", he'll scream over his doom device to his sister, "HE NEVER NOTICED ME. NOTICE ME NOW, DADDY, NOTICE ME NOW!?". And then Hiro teleports in and stabs him with the sword and Lyle disappears down a sewer and...
- lin

Little does she know, all that is is really just a bucket of sand. XD
- jazalove

Claire has to leave West anyway. *feels sorry for them* Sucks though, I kinda wanted to know more about him (and mostly if he has the dead bodies of his parents stuffed in his clothes closet. For some reason he seems the type).
- canadian_turtle

Claire: *WHIPS OUT WINDCHIME* I KNOW! Let's call 1-800-DIAL-A-HAITIAN!
West: ... I'll be over here, with your brother who seems to be surgically attached to your dog...yeaaaaah..
The Haitian: Sorry but it's 1-900-DIAL-A-HAITIAN, just $.99 for the first minute, and $2.99 for any additional minutes!
- jesslared

Omigosh, Bob has some guts. I'm hoping that Sandra shoots out his little beady eyeballs. And then feeds those guts to her little fuzzy sweater wearing hell-dog.
- byakuganchick

I was so ready for a Claire/Elle throwdown. Claire, having apparently inherited awesomeness as a secondary ability, would win. And then once again, Mr. Muggles would feast. I'm telling you, that dog is actually some sort of miniature, incredibly fluffy, spawn of Satan.
- byakuganchick

Elle has some serious boundary issues. She does not understand the concept of personal space. Then again, if I were around the boys from Heroes I might not be able to stop myself from molesting them either.
- vampedvixen

ELLE VS. CLAIRE is like blonde chick VS. blonde chick, except that it's not about clothes. 8D I think it's really cute, and in that shot, they looked like they had almost equal height (with heels or not I'm not sure) and it's almost comical.
- chanelcoco

Mohinder & Bennet

Mohinder, don’t get so close to HRG. There are going to be SO MANY ICONS of that shot with the caption ‘kiss me you fool’ or something …
- aunt_zelda

Heroes, get some science, please? Antibodies... don't... work like that. At all. Um. Moving on.
- lienne

Also, Mo raises a good point. If he could infiltrate the Company, a deranged lemur could do it. They'd stand no chance against someone with, as he puts it, "experience and ill intent". I like it when people acknowledge their own failings like this. He's a geneticist, not a secret agent.
- lienne

I'm wondering what exactly is going on with Shanti in the afterlife. I can just imagine it now, when the question is posed as to what each person present accomplished. Everyone's all blah blah blah, I did this, I invented that, and you know that time when someone converted your beloved prize-winning flower garden into a bathroom? THAT WAS ME. (Not me, but you know.)
Shanti: .. er well.. uh.. I invented the post-it notes!
Chandra: STOP TAKING CREDIT FOR ROMY'S INVENTION.. or was it Michelle's.. *MIND BOGGLES*
Shanti: PHYNE. A virus that's going to kill off 93% of the world's population WAS NAMED AFTER ME. ARE YOU HAPPY? *SULKS*
- jesslared

Mohinder thinks he's morally gray but it's more of the gray that happens if you wash your white underwear in with a load of dark clothes.
- jesslared

Ooh, I told you, Mo. Sylar would be angry when he found out about your domestic situation with Matt.
- byakuganchick

Sylar, Maya & Alejandro

GOOGLE MUST BE SYLAR'S WORST ENEMY. People keep finding news about him on the internet. First Mohinder, now Maya.
- chanelcoco

Meanwhile, Sylar and Maya are having a feminine hygiene commercial, drinking wine at the side of a river in Virginia, and speaking in silken tones.
- tereni_me

MAYA. YOU. SO. SILLY. THERE IS NO TO BE LEAVING AL BEHIND. D: It's like sending Sam Gamgee away would be if Gollum was hawt.
- cazrolime

I've been trying to think of a single actual "good guy" per se on this show, and all I can come up with is Alejandro. Alejandro! And he tried to steal a car! But he hasn't actually killed anyone, or framed them, or sanctioned their deaths, or tortured them, or abducted them, or betrayed them, or munched on their delicious braaains. And that makes him a very endangered species.
- cazerolime

He sexualizes all of his victims, and it's creepy/sexy sometimes, and just flat-out creepy other times. Maya was a sexy time. Molly was a OH MY GOD DON'T TOUCH HER OH MY GOD time
- aheartfulofyou

Sylar was really laying it on thick with Maya. The ridiculous thing is, I was taken completely out of the moment in all those scenes. I was just ogling at how well Zachary Quinto does creepy. I've seen too many pretty silly picspams or something, because I just wasn't that scared. I was sitting there thinking, wow, he's really good at looking scary, and good looking when he's looking scary.
- nevermindirah

And they also just took away any sort of feelings towards poor Alejandro's death. He already wasn't liked all that much and it's like "Aw, poor Aleja-OMG SHIRTLESS SYLAR OMG OMG ASKJDSAL*gibberfaint*"
- byakuganchick

Micha, NIki, Monica

They decide to also enter the Year's Biggest Idiot competition in a tag-team, and go out to rip-and-run on the thugs that stole Micah's backpack.
- terebi_me

Oh no! St. Joan hath been kidnapped because she forgot to eye-memorize some ninja skillz! Run and fetch assistance, sidekick Machine-Boy!
- aunt_zelda

Monica! Long time no see. And just in time for the awkward meta. I feel bad for this girl - she gets added in just to deliver these slightly lame lines every month or so.
- sadiane

Monica vs. the gangsters sort of reminds me of the ninjas vs. pirates business, but if the ninjas suddenly were lacking in stealth and dropping their comic books and if the pirates were actually poser pirates sort of floating around the ocean on a big giant Failboat that stole pop tarts from three-year-olds while the real pirates made them walk the plank and swab the poop decks and all of that.
- jesslared

Hiro & Ando

He spots Hiro over in the corner, and they stare at each other for a bit, wondering exactly who is going to take that crown this year. "I want that fucking sash," Peter says, creating a ball of Elle-fire in his palm.
"Yeah, but the tiara's mine, bitch," says Hiro, draws his sword, and runs at them both.
And CLIFFHANGER!
- terebi_me

Who wants to bet that in the first 5 minutes of next week, Peter will be all 'Oh Hiro, stop this. We're old friends. Let's talk and settle this!' and the episode will consist of them trying to settle this with rock/paper/scissors?
- lin

Ah, Ando - it's quite sad that Hiro refuses to stick around :( My brain continues to think of these two as unwittingly caught in a romantic comedy. Ando remains Julia Roberts.
- sadiane

Oh, Hiro, I love you so, but come ON! You can teleport. Very well, might I add. You don't have to run up on your target while screaming a battle cry. You poof up right next to them and then poke them in a vital spot with your sword. Poof and poke, buddy. Poof and poke.
- byakuganchick

Other

And this week's theme was: Boy, did YOU hitch your horse to the wrong wagon. Peter with Adam, Alejandro with Maya, Maya with "Gabrielle", Mohinder with Bob, HRG with Primatech Paper which was twenty years ago BUT STILL, and the whole first generation with each other. God, what a mess. It's like these twenty or so people have a half a cell of good judgment between them.
- beanarie

There's only one episode left in the season, and then Bobby Ewing can step out of the shower and reveal that this was all just Nathan's morphine-drip nightmare.
- terebi_me

And next week "Peter and Nathan will make out" Well, not really. Or maybe, as they are "Italian," and they've totally spent the whole season building up to this like they are long-separated lovers in some absurdly dramatic movie - there should be a Notebook style running hug or something :)
- sadiane

We still have not had direct Mohinder-Matt contact. Still no Petrelli brothers reunion. Maya and Alejandro have a big ol' Sylar-shaped wedge firmly between them. And Hiro keeps teleporting away from Ando. It's almost like Kring's trying to keep us from our queer readings and our incest subtext. Stop it, I say! Cease and desist! Back to fanservice now please!
- nevermindirah

meta: episode 209

2007-11-28T02:35:09Z

Sorry about that, guys, I meant to have this up this afternoon. Interestingly, after this episode the majority of us seem to be on polar ends of the Mohinder/Elle/West fandoms, which made for some similarly different metas.

I hope you all enjoyed "Truth or Consequences" last night, and enjoy tonights meta of "Cautionary Tales"

(mod note: since I didn't know I'd be doing this until yesterday, I'd already done a meta, so I got someone else to choose which ones should go in)

The Bennets/Butlers and West

After this scene HRG has become the last action hero in my eyes. He's the new Chuck Norris.
vampedvixen

HRG and West fit in a little male bonding as they wait for the hostage exchange to take place.
somethingastrue

Okay, when Bennet wanted to know where West was, did anybody say, "Have you checked behind your curtains? Or under Claire's bed? Or in the corner behind the ficus?"
trollprincess

I'm really trying not to think that West has way more chemistry with Noah than he's ever had with Claire.
trollprincess

We open on the Bennets, packing. All except for Claire who has totally gotten over that loving-her-dad phase and is now in the fuck-you-and-die phase of adolescence. Of course, Claire is perhaps the only teenager in existence who wants to rebel by attending school.
molly_commas

The thing that really grates on me about Claire's complaints that HRG used to abduct people, experiment on them, inject them with a tracking agent, and then erase their memories that she already knew all that. Unless he sent the Haitian to visit her recently, none of this ought to be news to her. Apparently, however, it is news to Lyle, who has never apparently wondered why he had to move a few states over and adopt a false name. I love teenage boys -- they're so self-involved.
molly_commas

But West saves the day: "Mr. Butler, what are you doing? I mean you abducted me when I was just a kid and god only knows what other unsavory things you've done, but you CANNOT KILL TEH PRETTIEZ!"
molly_commas

I like this development, because it is a very visceral reason for Bennet to have turned on the Company. I always just thought he realized one day that he was working with Eric Roberts and couldn't help but run the other way.
molly_commas

West is totally a part of the family now that he's willing to engage in kidnapping and torture.
molly_commas

Has anyone else noticed that apparently the best solution to the Bennets familial problems is to shoot Noah? I mean, all the mistrust and lying is completely forgotten whenever he gets shot. It's like therapy but cheaper.
molly_commas

...Wuh-oh. HRG, take that flaming torch away from your bridges and step away with your hands up.
cazrolime

HRG, you're going to walk straight into--

--well. I was going to say a bullet, but a crazy flying man works too.
cazrolime

Sandra has this really weird kinda semi-blink thing. Of wonder. Because everything about Sandra is of wonder. She's a saint, for serious.
cazrolime

Ahaha, West and HRG are bonding over cars. Wonder if Sylar can join in when he arrives? ...Probably not, HRG would bust a cap for driving his daughter's stolen NISSAN ROGUE.
cazrolime

Poor Claire! She’s stuck with Lyle, Riley Finn, a brain-robbed-mom, and Mr. Muggles. Where IS the Haitain, anyhoodle? He can become the Patriarch of the Bennet family! *likes the idea of that spinoff-series VERY MUCH* They would always be leaving Lyle behind and Mr. Muggles would plot diabolical plans and the Haitian would be awesome.
aunt_zelda

Claire ran all the way home? Why did she need a car in the first place if her school is that close to her home?
canadian_turtle

HOLY.. LYLE WASN'T AT THE DINING ROOM TABLE. AGAIN. The OTP of Lyle/pizza MUST live on and I'm hoping Bennet catches that clue and duct tapes Lyle to the dining room table. We need more character development for Lyle. And perhaps a little Chuck Norris fact, Heroes style, will suffice as inspiration for this long-overdue progression: When the boogeyman Maury Parkman goes to sleep, he checks his closet for Lyle Bennet.
jesslared

Mohinder

Right before HRG almost shoots him, Mohinder looks like he really has to blow his nose. I can't watch that scene without laughing and feeling the need to hand him a tissue.
vampedvixen

I figured out why Mohinder is so brainless this season: He's just destraught that his lover has been kidnapped by the company and shipped to Mexico. It's why he joined the company, to see if he could find out where they stashed Sylar and to follow any leads he could pick up there.
vampedvixen

Bennet hug! Love! Flight! Electricity! Guns! Suspense! MOHINDER!!!
somethingastrue

Man, Mohinder is just the ultimate dipshit, isn't it? I've almost come to cherish and adore the fact that in any given situation Mohinder will somehow manage to have the best intentions possible and yet outrageously fail. And perhaps in the middle just trip over the rug and faceplant into the floor ... you know, as a tension breaker.
trollprincess

Aww, Mohinder. I bet he's going "o hai, I'm in a car with a murderer... OH HANG ON, I've been in this situation before!"
cazrolime

Yup, even with sticky tape all over his nose Mohinder is still the prettiest guy on screen. Not that that's hard when he has a scene with just Bob, but you know what I mean.
canadian_turtle

No, Elle, you cannot keep Mohinder. He belongs to Sylar. Or maybe Matt. Depending on my current level of desire for angst/schmoop. Or, after that phone converstion, likely Noah. Wow, Mohinder really does slash with everyone. I still insist he has some sort of slash-related superpower. This power, apparently not located in his nose, so we know he's not Barbara Streisand in disguise. On the off chance that anyone was wondering.
krilymcc

So if you get Elle wet she can't use her powers. That makes sense. See, you don't need superpowers to pwn, some logic'll do just fine too. Mohinder could have learned so much from this man...
lin

I theorize that Mo's stupidness is actually catching. Mo is actually the virus. All of those people died because they were overcome with the urge to stick a fork in a light socket.
byakuganchick

Kaito and Hiro

Woah! Kaito has super head stability! Even though Mama's slap rings out across the entire city, Kaito's head will not be moved!
somethingastrue

“We have the power of gods, that does not mean we can play God.” Kaito has such AMAZING lines. He’s like Gandalf and Xavier and Obi-Wan and Yoda all rolled into one.
aunt_zelda

So why doesn't wee!Hiro see that the guy with present!Hiro is an exact copy of his father? Does wee!Hiro also have a wee!brain?
canadian_turtle

PRESENT HIRO TOUCHED PAST HIRO!!! NO! NO, NO, NO!!!! He supposedly knows all this stuff about the time/space continum but he doesn't know if there are two versions of the same person in the same space then Pterodactyls will eat the world? You know I half expected Claude to run up to present Hiro, grab him and shout, "DON'T TOUCH THE BABY!" But no and now Pterodactyls are going to eat the world. Thanks a lot Heroes.

KAITO. TELL US YOUR POWER. TELL US YOUR POWER. TELL US YOUR POWER. I was observing and trying to figure out if there was the slightest bit of a CLUE or ANYTHING and now I am more convinced than ever that Kaito provides the Japanese subtitles using ONLY HIS MIND.

Bob and Elle

Elle has some serious boundary issues. She does not understand the concept of personal space. Then again, if I were around the boys from Heroes I might not be able to stop myself from molesting them either.

Hmm. Elle wears heels at the beach. Interesting fashion choice. I want to see her stand up and get stuck in the sand.

THE COMPANY PICNIC. I AM ASKING FOR THIS WITH UTMOST SINCERITY HERE. I just.. HAHAHAA. I can just imagine it now. Bob would be the father who's bringing his kids along with him even though he's really annoyed and cross because he has to organize everything and he's carrying in the karaoke machine and setting it up while Mohinder constantly complains that he doesn't really want to be there because Noah Bennet throws a far better Sexy Party than Bob does, then he starts to sob about how he's not really sure if he really had a good time at Noah's party because there may or may not have been spiked punch there but he's not sure if that's good or bad to begin with. And Elle's there, charring up some burgers and hot dogs and Bob reprimands her for playing with the grill then she's like "but I'm not!" and she displays her powers for all to see and everyone laughs simultaneously and aww. Such a family moment. How heartwarming.

Matt

Matt use your power to persuade your boss you need to do this case!! Come on! ROFLMAO He's totally doing it, obviously because I told him to.

If he really wanted to test that new side to his ability, Matt should have asked Molly to put her cereal on her head, or something. That would have been *much* more conclusive.

Matt Parkman, was that a display of Jedi mindtrickery I hath seen? I do believe it was! Beginner stuff though. I bet the Jedi would call him Obi-Wan Kenewbie behind his back and laugh at him at their meetings, then get all awkwardly silent whenever he showed up.

PREVIOUSLY ON HEROES: One bad guy deaded Kaito! Another one was Matt's asshole father! Here's Adam Kensei, who's a bad guy but still more awesome than a thousand squirrels doing gymnastics! Mohinder the Not Quite Moral Compass is going to go and terminally end his affair with Bennet! Bob has just enough wispy hair on top of his head to look quite silly! West doesn't want Claire's popsicles any more! When HRG is tired of California he is tired of life!

Next Week: Claire might team up with Elle while Sandra is in the background; Peter’s ‘pretty keen on that pendin’ apocalypse’ to quote our favorite Invisible Man; Hiro holds a katana to Peer’s throat, probably having found out about the Padam fandom … I mean … Peter’s partnership with Adam … I mean … ah screw it …

Look, the woods of PastJapan … I mean, South California … odd HOW MUCH ALIKE THEY APPEAR!

Lestat aka mister Muggles. Cute little fluffy by day, crime fighting vampire by night.

Just how many people are going to get tied up/held down/handcuffed. Are they taking requests? Mohinder, in a chair, with silk scarves? Nathan, in his car, with his belt? Peter, in a shipping container, with handcuffs. Wait, we did that one...

Meta Delay

2007-11-27T04:19:31Z

Hi, guys! I just got an email asking if I could do the meta this week, but it's too late for me to do it tonight because I've been really sick today, and I need my sleep. But, you can expect it sometime tomorrow. Hopefully. Heh, sorry, I have school tomorrow morning, and I didn't get the email until just now.

I hope you all enjoyed "Truth and Consequences" tonight!
