3 random Heroes thoughts

[meganbmoore]

1. Which is worse, hooking up with your father's nurse, who you know has a crush on you, immediately after breaking up with your unstable, drug addicted boyfriend, or hooking up with the daughter of your patient who is under extreme stress due to her father's illness and just having ended a bad relationship, who apparently has only you for any sort of emotional support? (yeah, I kinda think Peter wins the award there...)

2. I have realized that "save the cheerleader, save the world" doesn't mean "save the cheerleader so she can help save the world," but rather "save the cheerleader so that guy who eats BBBRRRRRAAAAAIIIIINNNNNSSSSSSS won't effectively become immortal." Sad now.

 3. It is also my official opinion that if you can defend Mohinder in any way, shape or form, you officially give up the right to call any female character in existence TSTL. Ever. Though at least he is pretty to look at and fun to facepalm to. (Also, Peter: almost as bad. And less cute. I think Nathan stole all the brains in the family and didn't leave any for Peter.)

1. IT GETS WORSE. No, seriously, it gets worse. Peter isn't just stupid, he's a complete and utter moron. Starting out watching the show? I liked Peter. Now I roll my eyes and wish to be able to smack him upside the head. On the plus side, Angela Petrelli is my favoritest character EVER now for verbally doing it all the time.

2. Agency in Heroes is a varied thing, if by "varied" you mean "granted only to white males who don't look much like each other, but are both white and male." Because why the HELL can't Claire participate in saving the world herself? (Or in saving herself, for that matter.) That's what I would like to know.

3. Oh, Mohindier. I can't stop thinking "so pretty, and so, so very dumb." *pats him* He means well, the poor man, but he's so very bad at everything. No wonder Chandra was so annoyed by him. Why couldn't Shanti have lived so we could get a scientist worth her salt? Hm?

ETA: Wow. I'm a lot crabbier about Heroes than I thought I would be. This is what happens when all my favorite characters [spoilerifficy list of spoilery things] by season three.

1. I spent all day wondering why I was bugged by the Peter/Simone hookup then I realized that my boredom with that was masking the sheer moral "Hell no!"

2. Claire did get to smash the car into the building and put the would-be-rapist in traction, and I don't mind that she didn't get the final conclusion with that because I don't think she'd be able to live with herself with that yet (after a bit more scary world, though...) but so far, Hiro, Peter and Isaac get to save the world by saving her, and she gets to help by...not being killed. An endeavor I support, but...

3. I think I'd be feeling more kindly towards Mohinder if I hadn't been seeing him loved and praised around the internets the last 2 years, resulting in the typical fandom double standard slapping me in the face.
