I watched Monday's Heroes and I was more annoyed than appeased. This felt like another bit of filler to me, with only few stand-out bits of awesomeness to contrast with the teasing, useless wastes of my time.
( Awesome things go first )
( Less awesome stuff )
Aaaaand scene. New York, still doomed. Micah's use of his power was actually one I hadn't considered ( spoiler ). Sylar? So crazy, but less so this time. I think I like it better when he's whack-job out of his noggin than when he's suave evil dude, but it's such a fine line, it's hard to separate when he's one versus the other (so kudos, Zach Quinto).
A series rather like Heroes has come around again to me on Netflix: The 4400. I'm...not so enthused as was. I still think that the lead pair of agents have great interplay with one another. It's not especially intimate--a la Mulder and Scully--but it's intertwined and involved and unquestioning. They know they can always trust each other, and the show, to its credit, has not mussed with that over much (meaning it's not caught in a Smallville-esque cycle of "CAN I TRUST YOU!?!" every other episode).
But the latent, bristling sexism going on is grating on me more than ever. I've worn myself out on the subject of feminism in fiction for the time being, but if this keeps up, you can guarantee I'll be making noise about it.
