Heroes 2.10 Truths and Consequences

[selenak]

Still busy, still short review, still out of tune with fandom at large, I bet.



Because I loved Mohinder's unrepentant "Well, tough" attitude towards Noah Bennet after he resurrected him. Especially after reading all the bashing last week. "You have nobody to blame but yourself." Because, you know, it's true. (Incidentally, since Bob delivers the fake ashes and since Mohinder has the blood to resurrect Noah first and then try it out on the virus, I'm assuming the Noah body snatching and resurrection was with Bob's full knowledge. I'm curious whether or not Bob told Mohinder first that this was plan B in case Noah got violent, or after Mohinder shot.) There were other factors as well, but mostly Noah chose the path that led him to a Company cell.

Loved Mohinder's attitude towards Bob as well, and may I say, for everyone screaming about his "stupidity" re: working with the Company for real, here we see he took the trouble of a little research and found out how the virus got into being to begin with (i.e. whose fault that was - theirs), and then does something about it, something constructive, such as getting Bob to tell him where the various samples are, as opposed to, you know, shooting the guy "so my family will be safe". I continue to marvel that this season made me into a Mohinder partisan, but it has. Go, Mohinder's storyline. Which is why as opposed to 99% of fandom I'm actually a bit disappointed about the impending Mohinder/Sylar reunion, because you know, we've tread this ground before. Double Agent!Mohinder is way more interesting than last year's Mohinder, and I still think they should have killed Sylar off in last season's finale. I'd rather have his volume 2 storyline end with Company scenes than in yet another Sylar showdown. Is it too much to hope that at least this one will end with Sylar really really dead? (Killed by Maya, Mohinder or himself, I don't care, just as long as there is no more Sylar.)

Bob was again extermely interesting this week, manipulative with Elle, apparantly honestly interested in stopping the virus with Mohinder (and hey, the story he told Nathan re: Adam and Adam's motivations gets verified elsewhere), and chancing it out with the grieving Bennet clan. Sandra was great in that scene, and I think her shooting Bob was a genuine probability. He didn't have to deliver the "ashes" in person (presumably he has enough flunkies who could have done that for him). And of course we don't know yet why he went to the trouble to resurrect Noah to begin with (I doubt it was just to indulge Mohinder).

Speaking of Elle, Claire had her best scene this episode with her, and I hope that's an omen for things to come, because their interaction has sparks, no pun intended, and besides, I'm really curious whether Claire is angry and vengeful enough to go further in her threat to tell the public about the specials.

I made a bit of fun of Peter in wee_warrior's lj for his out of sight, of of mind attitude towards girlfriends a few days ago, and hereby apologize. Mind you, I know fandom and it's going to complain about this, but I think Peter being shown to a) attempt one more time to retrieve Caitlin from the virus-ridden future and b) being concerned with saving her later on was the right narrative choice, because it is completely his responsibility that she is in this situation. Now I don't find Caitlin a very interesting character, either, but to just ignore her and forget about her would have made Peter look very callous, so I'm glad this didn't happen. Moreover, given that he got a graphic illustration that the virus will wipe out 93% of the population (and got told Nathan died in the first wave), I'm not surprised he puts "stop the virus" before any family reunions.

Of course, he's currently travelling with Ras Al'Gul. Am feeling a bit smug that I put my money on Adam being eviler than the Company when everyone else wanted the reverse to be true. My reason for this, btw, was admittedly reverse shallow one: I didn't want a division where Good Looking Adam is just misunderstood whereas paunchy balding and middle aged Bob is evil (tm). Anyway, I was wondering how Hiro would find out that Takezo Kensei is now Adam Monroe, and just where to find Adam, and hadn't bet on that time trip, which was a neat flashback to Ye Olde Days. I loved the consistency of Kaito being all for locking up Adam, but not of getting rid for the virus for good or for parting ways with the others, because we know he didn't do that for many years to come. Most intriguing was Victoria's observation that Adam had allies among the twelve re: virus. Obvious suspects would be Linderman and Maury, but I'm wondering whether or not Angela was one back then (but not now) and that's why she got away with wounds but wasn't killed yet currently.

Current day Victoria certainly doesn't trust anyone named Petrelli (which is interesting, considering Angela's determination to keep her secret from Matt last week, but then again Victoria also makes the "you look like her" observation to Peter, in which she sounds ambiguous). Peter at this point trusts Adam over her, for which he'll undoubtedly get bashed, but Adam has the "healed Nathan, was fellow prisoner" advantage, and I think given Peter's reaction to Adam shooting Victoria, he's actually suspicious by now. But again, destroying the virus takes precedence.

I loved Niki's reunion with Micah and Monica deciding to get his father's medal back for him. Yes, she gets captured, but give the girl a break - she's not immune to bullets, is she?

So, predictions:

- Depending on whether Mohinder is at the airport of New Orleans or in New York (I didn't get that, will have to rewatch), he'll deliver the antibodies to Niki first before turning back in the first case, or will turn around immediately in the second, but I hope in either case, he'll remember he's living with a cop and will call Matt about the Sylar-has-Molly situation immediately

- Micah will get his Fantastic Four minus One team-up, as Niki will save Monica

- Hiro's attack on Peter will be stopped by Peter zapping Hiro, which in turn will break the time freeze, at which point a Hiro-Kensei/Adam encounter won't be the only one to happen, because I'm pretty convinced this will be the point where Nathan shows up

- why is Nathan in Odessa? Because Bob by now has to know about Victoria's death (complete with photo, thank you, Adam) and can deduce Adam has teamed up with Peter and will go after his old goal, the virus. Which makes getting Nathan to Odessa the smart thing to do, because that at the very least will rob Adam of his multi-super-powered ally

- either Peter or Claire or Adam will consume the fatal strand of the virus, because of the emphasis on the regenerators this season, and I'm thinking Alien III and Ripley pregnant with the Alien flinging herself into the fire

- oh, and Noah B. will rejoin the Company, concluding that the way to REALLY get safety is to get to the top spot himself.

And again, as opposed to the majority of fandom who hopes Sylar will kill Maya, I hope Maya will kill Sylar. Or someone else can kill Sylar. As long as someone does.

*starts to say something, thinks better of it*

Then again, I suppose you know who I would suspect of being an ally anyway. I blame Twin Peaks, it just got me fixated on the idea that BOB=pure evil.

And I haven't watched the episode yet (no Nathan dwindles my motivation considerably), so I can't really comment, except for this:

You have no earthly idea how much I'm with you on this one.

[likeadeuce.livejournal.com]

You know, I have some hope that Maya's reaction to Sylar in this ep (complete with S's obvious evil leering) is intended as a meta-sendup of the fannish woobie-love of Sylar. I don't have much hope they'll kill him for good, but I'm hoping the setup is leading to Maya overcoming her illusions and defeating him.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

This episode is more like The Line than like Kindred to me than while there is no Nathan, there is still enough to keep me interested, and I like it as opposed to most other people.*g*

And yes, I know you want Bob to be the ultimate bad guy, but leaving my own bias aside, I really, really doubt it. They have been rather consistent with him ruthless but not interested in wiping out populations, and while he probably still would like a version of the virus that allows him to take away others' abilities if he deems it fit, the concern about the whole thing getting out of control seems to be stronger.

Mind you, I wouldn't put it past the show to pull another surprise, i.e. reveal that one of the twelve isn't as deceased as we thought and was/is allied with Adam, but not Bob.

Sylar's demise: the two of us against the fannish world.*g*

[selenak.livejournal.com]

Well, one of the two promos shows her shouting at him "you killed my brother", and given that he taught her how to control her abilities, it would be a fitting irony if she used them against him and killed him. Or at the very least, if we can't have that, put him into a coma for the next season or two.

Maya's Sylar adoration so far as a send-up: maybe. It definitely is a direct anti Sylar/Mary Sue story, i.e. the "Sylar meets this nice girl who truly loves him and gets REFORMED!" plot.

[linaerys.livejournal.com]

I liked all the things you liked from this ep, including Peter worried about finding Caitlin, but the bad overwhelmed the good for me.

[wee-warrior.livejournal.com]

This episode is more like The Line than like Kindred to me than while there is no Nathan, there is still enough to keep me interested, and I like it as opposed to most other people.*g*

Oh, I agree, having watched it now, but on this show, I'm sadly a little one-character focussed, and his absences are simply starting to bug me. (It doesn't help that the season is so short. Of course, fans of Sylar or Monica or Elle are a lot worse off than fans of Nathan in terms of appearances so far.)

Re: Maya's storyline: the sad thing is, I feel you could simply cut all the twins' scenes, and the season wouldn't suffer from it. Even if one insists that Sylar needed to remain on the show, they simply could have done his first appearance, and then have him pop up with Mohinder later on.

And yes, I know you want Bob to be the ultimate bad guy, but leaving my own bias aside, I really, really doubt it.

Actually, my problem is that if it isn't Bob, it basically has to be Angela, since they are the only ones left (and of the others whom we didn't see die no one is prominent enough to make a satisfying impact if they secretly survived - except Arthur, and even though I like to harp on it, I don't seriously believe that he is still alive*g*). Here's hoping that Angela doesn't find out that Peter is with Adam, because otherwise her not warning him of Adam in the future is a really bad sign.

Sylar's demise: the two of us against the fannish world.*g*

Let's hope Star Trek is really, really successful and will enable Zach to move on to a bright and shiny movie career. *veg*

[selenak.livejournal.com]

You know, I've been wondering whether I'm too lenient, but when I watched Torchwood's first season, I found many (but not all) episodes mediocre to bad (and making this one look stellar by comparison), and I do have problems with some elements of Dexter this season. So it's not that I automatically like everything I'm served. I will say that I'd have loved no Sylar and instead Nathan en route from Ireland back to the States or Nathan confronting Matt about his interrogation of Angela instead, but I can see that they needed to do the Sylar scenes more, given they needed to resolve the twin thing, having set it up, and needed to get him to New York, having let him survive to begin with. I do wish neither the twins nor Sylar were around in the first place, absolutely, but since they are, that has to be wrapped up. (I do hope for good, and that volume 3 will start without either. My ideal solution would be for Maya to kill Sylar and then decide that she needs some time alone to deal with her grief for Alejandro and her powers, far away from where she can hurt anyone, and go to Tibet. (= where all the tv people go to meditate, ask Angel). That way, we have her out of the story but without mysoginistic or racist implications as there would be if Sylar kills her. AND we're finally rid of Sylar, too.

Anyway, back to the episode: rewatching, I also noticed that when Hiro says his variation of "he killed my father, he must die" to Peter, Peter doesn't say, as he did to Victoria, that Adam is on the contrary a good guy determined on saving the world from the virus, he says "I can't let you do that" (i.e. kill Adam), which is a different issue. He does owe Adam Nathan's life, even if Victoria and Hiro are right about him, so he can't let Hiro kill Adam.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

It doesn't help that the season is so short. Of course, fans of Sylar or Monica or Elle are a lot worse off than fans of Nathan in terms of appearances so far.

True. And Adrian doesn't have a movie contract with the biggest sci fi franchise around. Mind you, if the unthinkable happens and Nathan gets killed off next episode, I'll completely change my tune and cry out in roaring anger about the lack of Nathan in previous episodes, but always assuming the Pasdar is engaged for the full 23 episodes, I'm not that bugged.

the sad thing is, I feel you could simply cut all the twins' scenes, and the season wouldn't suffer from it.

No argument here. And I think Kring admitted as much in his interview. I love basically all of the new characters except for the twins. Though again I must say that you could cut all of Mohinder's scenes mid-season 1 (aka The Trip To India To Stare At a Screen), and many of his other scenes in season 1, and it wouldn't suffer, either. And Matt's stint as a bodyguard and at least some of his marriage problems, and much of Niki's s1 storyline (as opposed to her s2 scenes, btw). Though again, this isn't something new for the show.

You know, Victoria's explicit reference to Peter's parents, plural, not just to his mother, and both times in a bad context "I know what they could do" etc., has actually swayed me in favour of a Arthur Petrelli = Irina Derevko theory...

Let's hope Star Trek is really, really successful and will enable Zach to move on to a bright and shiny movie career.

Oh yeah. I wish him all the best. He even can come back in another role, it's not that I mind him as an actor on Heroes. I just want to get rid of Sylar. Also, you know, the writers were aware of the Spock thing and the implication, so I wouldn't be surprised if they gave Sylar a fate that if not permanent at least really removes him from the game for the rest of the season (if that continues sans strike).

[wee-warrior.livejournal.com]

I doubt they would seriously kill him off, as long as Pasdar wants to stay on. They can't be that stupid. And by now, the character has gained such a following, and as opposed to last season, has lost almost all haters, they would be in for a riot. Should they do it nonetheless, though, I'll absolutely join you in roaring.

You know, Victoria's explicit reference to Peter's parents, plural, not just to his mother, and both times in a bad context "I know what they could do" etc., has actually swayed me in favour of a Arthur Petrelli = Irina Derevko theory...

I can just about see next week ending on one of his sons going "Dad...?" *g* On the other hand, it's a better device to rip off than "You've been gone for two years, and I've married a woman whose motivation changes every two episodes!" Ach, Alias. Have you seen this picture (http://www.fadpov.com/photos.php?ID=80) of VG and RR picketting?

(And seriously, at least I could buy Arthur being nuts enough to try and wipe out humanity. Especially if he is indeed an empath, like I've been suspecting for a while now - that's simply a power he would have hated, always having to depend on others.)

Oh yeah. I wish him all the best. He even can come back in another role, it's not that I mind him as an actor on Heroes. I just want to get rid of Sylar.

Same here. I would even be willing to accept a previously undisclosed sibling, or a clone, as long as this one-note annoyance finally leaves. (erm, sorry, bit ranty here.)

[linaerys.livejournal.com]

I'm very lenient if I'm enjoying myself--I don't criticize by the numbers, but I didn't enjoy last night, and thus I didn't like it. Even though TW is pretty bad, I enjoyed most of the eps.

That's not to say I don't pick apart why I enjoy or fail to enjoy something, but in the end, it's the final feeling that really matters to me.

I like your interpretation of Peter's actions at the end--it makes him look slightly less stupid--but I wish so much of the show didn't need to be wanked.

I want Sylar dead SO MUCH. He makes me want to take a shower every time he's on screen. I can't even *look* at him.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

I can just about see next week ending on one of his sons going "Dad...?

This is so the end of volume 3 tag scene.*g* And as with Irina, we'd just see the figure lighted from behind, not the face, so they can cast someone appropriately awesome during the hiatus. Any candidates who could believably be married to Christine Rose, spawn AP and MV and hold their own?

I saw the adorable picture and commented on your lj. Oh, Spy Dads, I love you so much. Hey, can't we cast either of them as Arthur or would that get Kring sued by Abrams?

Rant away on Sylar. I just come from going through other ljs, and if I see one more "Sylar was the only good thing about this episode", I'll scream.

I want a crossover with Dexter, wherein Sylar ends up under the plastic.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

I get the difference between "bad and enjoying" and "not enjoying", but I think that's why I'm lenient with this particular episode - Sylar aside, I did enjoy this episode. Have just rewatched it and fast forwarded through the Sylar scenes. It made me happy.

I desperately kling to ZQ's Star Trek contract as my hope Sylar will be off the show for the next volume. No matter how popular the character is, no producers would include him if they can't count on the actor being available, and if you have a leading role in a ST movie, you won't be available elsewhere for the rest of the year, even after the shooting is done, for all the publicity, conventions etc.

[srichard.livejournal.com]

I hope Sylar will try to eat something exotic that he's unknowingly allergic to in an attempt to impress Maya and he will swell up like a giant tic and asphyxiate. Or die in some other embarrassing, useless way that will dispose of him entirely and for good. But then, I am petty like that.

And your proposed scheme gives me some good Nathan screen time, so I really can't object.

[kathyh]

Bob was again extermely interesting this week, manipulative with Elle

That was a creepy little scene. He knows exactly how to get her to do what he wants.

He didn't have to deliver the "ashes" in person

No, he really didn't. I wonder whether it was because it was a chance to assess Claire's mood and to see if there was any chance of playing "the greater good" card with her. Looks as if he decided not.

I hope Maya will kill Sylar. Or someone else can kill Sylar. As long as someone does.

Oh so do I. So far this whole storyline is quite superfluous to what's going on everywhere else where various threads are now being pulled together. I can even see the necessity of Caitlin (just) at this point, but the Twins and Sylar are sticking out like a sore thumb! More Nathan, less Sylar, say I.

[wee-warrior.livejournal.com]

Hey, can't we cast either of them as Arthur or would that get Kring sued by Abrams?

Ron Rifkin is a regular on Brothers & Sisters, but Garber is free to my knowledge - and he could outsnark even The Pasdar, so he would be a good fit.

I want a crossover with Dexter, wherein Sylar ends up under the plastic.

I approve!

[kernezelda]

I want a crossover with Dexter, wherein Sylar ends up under the plastic.

Seconded!

I like Sylar as a villain, but they really should have finished him off in last season's finale. On the other hand, the Sylar/Mohinder bandwagon is fairly easy on the nerves, along the same lines as Servalan/Avon and Scorpius/John.

[mimesh.livejournal.com]

here we see he took the trouble of a little research and found out how the virus got into being to begin with (i.e. whose fault that was - theirs), and then does something about it, something constructive, such as getting Bob to tell him where the various samples are, as opposed to, you know, shooting the guy "so my family will be safe".

I agree and that's why it's all the more tragic that they push him in HRG's role with Sylar threatening his daughter. Judging from the promos I think this leads to Mohinder sacrificing Niki in order to save Molly and do whatever it takes (or Sylar makes him do). If there is a possibility for his character to come out strong from this, I wouldn't mind the Sylar reunion but I have my doubts that this will be the case.

And of course we don't know yet why he went to the trouble to resurrect Noah to begin with (I doubt it was just to indulge Mohinder).

I'm puzzled by this turn of events myself and I wonder if they resurrected other people before using Adam's blood or if this was their first try. What value does a resurrected Bennet have for the company?

Obvious suspects would be Linderman and Maury, but I'm wondering whether or not Angela was one back then (but not now) and that's why she got away with wounds but wasn't killed yet currently.

Yep, I have been thinking about Angela (and possibly Arthur) as well. Although given how afraid Angela appears of Adam and how fiercely she tried to protect Victoria it's possible that she turned on Adam when he attacked Victoria in order to get the virus. It seems that the remaining elders were all behind the decision to lock Adam away and their group remained together for many more years as you pointed out.

Current day Victoria certainly doesn't trust anyone named Petrelli (which is interesting, considering Angela's determination to keep her secret from Matt last week, but then again Victoria also makes the "you look like her" observation to Peter, in which she sounds ambiguous)

We didn't see Peter telling her his name, did we, so does she identify him solely by his resemblance to Angela? Could you elaborate why you think she sounded ambiguous?

Sylar didn't really have a purpose this season. I'm sure Maya would have found her way to NYC sooner or later. The only redeeming factor of Sylar's story line this season would be if they used him to set up Maya as the next villain and she goes darkside after realizing Sylar's betrayal. Her power makes it difficult to imagine her in any other future story line.

[lady-sarai.livejournal.com]

If you're out of sync with the rest of fandom, then so am I. I love your episode reviews--they're pretty much *exactly* my opinion of things.

And AMEN to Sylar. I was really hoping to just... ignore him. Also, I was kind of fond of Alejandro, so he was the only reason I found those scenes at all watchable--in that I kept going "oh, please don't kill him." Except we all knew he was a Red Shirt.

[selenak.livejournal.com]

I agree and that's why it's all the more tragic that they push him in HRG's role with Sylar threatening his daughter.

It does make storytelling sense, though, to test Mohinder this way, putting him in Bennet's situation in this way, too. Still, I wish it wouldn't be Sylar and the test would come another way.

What value does a resurrected Bennet have for the company?

We'll probably find out next episode, and I still think there has to be a drawback to the use of the blood which Bob didn't tell Mohinder about, which doesn't matter in regards to Noah - because while there has to be a reason why he's useful enough to resurrect, if there are ill after effects it's not like they affect someone they can't spare. I am afraid, though, we'll find out via Nathan why Adam's blood at least (not sure about Claire's) has said drawbacks.

Although given how afraid Angela appears of Adam and how fiercely she tried to protect Victoria it's possible that she turned on Adam when he attacked Victoria in order to get the virus. It seems that the remaining elders were all behind the decision to lock Adam away and their group remained together for many more years as you pointed out.

Yes, and not a single one of them tried to break Adam out. Which really makes me suspect that Angela (with or without Arthur) originally helped him but changed their minds after Adam attacked Victoria and after they found out the virus would have wiped out everyone, including them and their children (well, child in this case - Nathan would already be there, though not Peter), no matter what he promised. And that Angela went to such lengths to protect Victoria because she felt she owed her for this.

We didn't see Peter telling her his name, did we, so does she identify him solely by his resemblance to Angela?

No, he doesn't tell her his name. They come in, he sees the article about Angela confessing to Kaito's murder together with other articles lying on the table, and Victoria says "You look like your mother" *short pause* "After Kaito and the others died, I knew it was just a matter of time before someone came after me." (Peter then confirms who he is by telling her the last time he saw Angela was a year in the future where she told him about the virus.)

I thought she sounded a bit sad when she said "you look like your mother", but that's probably a matter of interpretation. He does, of course. (Look a lot like Angela. Awesome casting.)

Maya as the villain for the next volume: well, that would make sense of the Sylar storyline, but otoh the problem is that it wouldn't make much of a story. Yes, she can kill anyone around her, but either Hiro or Peter could freeze time, to which she has no immunity.

I could see another point, which is that maybe Maya's power, if controlled, somehow can be used to counteract with the virus, two negatives cancelling each other out, and then Sylar would have been at least useful in as much as he helped her learn to control it. Still. Die, Sylar, die!

[selenak.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, his death was pretty much a given from the get go, like Ted's last season, yes. And hail, comrade. *g*

[selenak.livejournal.com]

I wonder whether it was because it was a chance to assess Claire's mood and to see if there was any chance of playing "the greater good" card with her. Looks as if he decided not.

He's flexible that way.*g* But yes, I suppose that was one reason, for his telling Elle to watch Claire for the next 24 hours as well. He is probably wondering how she'd react and what she'll do. Given that, you know, he found her in Costa Verde to begin with because of the infamous prank, and if Elle tells him about Claire's threat to go public, I think he'll take it seriously and believe Claire would do that.

[gelliaclodiana]

it would be a fitting irony if she used them against him and killed him

Although I knew that things like this never happen in TV land, through that whole scene I was desperately hoping that she'd be unable to control herself, and that Sylar would die of his own stupidity.

Alas for TV logic!

[kernezelda]

*waves small flag of Heroes-fondness solidarity*

Hey, now that the show is almost over, possibly forever due to writers' strike, I finally got around to making an icon. *rolls eyes at self*

[silverblade219.livejournal.com]

Haven't seen the episode yet, so can't comment on that but I just wanted to add my vote for Sylar getting kill Maya or anyone else ^^

[taxidryer.livejournal.com]

I continue to marvel that this season made me into a Mohinder partisan, but it has. Double Agent!Mohinder is way more interesting than last year's Mohinder.
Yay! I'm totally with you on that. I always thought they should have made Mohinder The Scientist and only The Scientist in season 1 (as opposed to the Scientist's-son-who-believes-and-then-doesn't-and-then-believes-again-and-blah) and that's exactly what he's doing this season. Science and morality only, thanks.

I still think they should have killed Sylar off in last season's finale.
Thank God, I'm not the only one to think so! I love Sylar, but that's the problem when you start loving your characters too much. It weakens the story.

Now I don't find Caitlin a very interesting character, either, but to just ignore her and forget about her would have made Peter look very callous, so I'm glad this didn't happen.
Oh, how much do I love you tonight? I think the problem with Caitlin is that they made her a love interest instead of simply a friendly girl who helped him deal with his memory loss. Or something. I don't know, but the romance is hard to buy between these two. It's sad because Caitlin could have been such an interesting character. But hey, I agree Peter forgetting about her would have made things worse.

Speaking of Elle, Claire had her best scene this episode with her, and I hope that's an omen for things to come, because their interaction has sparks, no pun intended, and besides, I'm really curious whether Claire is angry and vengeful enough to go further in her threat to tell the public about the specials.
That was definitely the best scene in my opinion. Pissedoff!Claire versus Clumsy!Elle. How unexpected and interesting was that to watch?!

:o)
