Heroes

[askmehow]

After waaaaay too long an LJ break (RL is kicking my ass this month), Heroes commentary.


After two weeks of feeling blah about Heroes, this episode brought back the awesome.

The scene on the bridge, with Claire holding HRG and saying goodbye? I was bawling.

The flashbacks were done particularly well, though being on the run for years seems to have done wonders for the Ninth Doctor Claude: his hair in Primatech Paper days was atrocious.

I didn't realise that Hiro and Claire were so close in terms of age. He couldn't have been more than six or seven in the flashback, which would make him about twenty-three to Claire's sixteen. I had thought he would be in his late twenties, at least. Huh.

In conclusion: how fantastic is it that Eric referred to the Haitian as a 'sensation'? GENIUS, KRING. GENIUS. The people over at TWoP must be thrilled.

Also, if you haven't already seen the preview for next week's episode, what are you waiting for? Go and watch it now! I practically died laughing. Lonely ooof, people. It doesn't get better than that.

And finally, a rec:

• Heroes: A Cord of Three Strands, by eponis. (Claire/Peter, Nathan/Peter, implied Claire/Nathan, NC-17).
  

  Claire has nothing, in theory, against the way that Peter and Nathan show affection.

  
  So, you know when THAT shocking announcement got made, and I was so happy? Claire got inducted into the Petrelli vortex of awesome, angst and hotassery, but there was no fic that dealt with the massive fucked-upness of 'shipping Peter and Claire while also dealing with Nathan and Peter's big gay epic love... until this fic. It hits every note perfectly: sinope's got Claire's hope and desire for family down pat, and her Nathan just slays me.
  Petrellicest at its intellectual, porny best, people. Go check it out. And don't forget to show eponis some love: leave feedback!
