trinityvixenWow, is it just me, or does Adrian Pasdar just never play an at all nice guy? I mean, not even a little bit likeable, Nathan. And tonight's episode of Heroes really took the cake, far as being an utter asshole is concerned.
Yeah, so Nathan, what a dick. I couldn't hardly stand Peter telling Simone he luuuuuuurved her foh-evers either, but there were ways to knock that shit off that didn't involve embarrassing the guy to all fuck. Just watch him start spreading those flying rumors all over the damn place. He can do so much damage to Nathan, like whoa, I wouldn't be messing with him, let alone abusing him like that. Credit where credit is due, Adrian Pasdar is just a little less slimy at points to make you believe he might do something good with information he is privy to, but it's like asking Gaius Baltar to do the right thing--just ain't gonna happen.
Otherwise, okay, Claire's story continues to be a total snooze, and CreepyDad wasn't in it enough to matter. Like to see how she pulls herself together (hardy-har-har) and explains this one. You don't just get dead and no one notices. She's in a morgue, meaning an ambulance came, a hospital got her, and a doctor pronounced her dead. There will be evidence, witnesses...you don't envy CreepyDad in having to clean all that up. Also, called it the moment quarterback dude started being all friendly and they showed Cheerleader Ditzoid being jealous. When the main girl with the melodramatic story gets the guy, he's a rapist nine times out of ten (the other time is when he's then immediately killed off/completely disgusted with her, a la Thomas Hardy). So did not need to see her splayed out that way (mostly because it wasn't very professional for her to be left with a non-Y incision skin peel and nothing else, not to mention they'd hardly need an autopsy to figure out what killed her), but it helped me take the edge off some of the aggressive boredom I was feeling.
Matt is still my wubby, Hiro my favorite. Hiro and his absolutely unironic declarations--"It's destiny!"--slay me, and the actor sells it perfectly. His friend tagging along is a terrific straight man. There is nothing Hiro can do to not be adorable. Matt, poor Matt, he's bound to be a little confused. I'm a tad pissed that his powers are the only ones shown on the show to be specifically untrained or unattached to any stimulus. Claire can't turn hers off; Hiro gets his by concentrating; Niki has her flipouts triggered, we've just not seen the exact mechanism or met Niki2 yet; Isaac shoots up to see the future; and I think it's pretty obvious that Nathan and Peter have to be close by one another in order for either to fly (stress probably also plays a factor, but with an asshat like Nathan, I'm betting that's never going to be a limiting factor for Peter's abilities). But Matt, his comes, goes, retards, speeds up, does the moonwalk all over the place. The first time the ability to read minds shows up, it's directed but spontaneous (he hears the desperate and the loud, so the little girl and the two FBI chicks, respectively). Then he has to concentrate at Clea Duvall (who goes from arresting him to giving him a job, which: more confusion), his wife has some kind of lag on her thoughts, people at the bar are assaulting him with thought, and then there's the quiet guy.
I kinda was cross-stitching when he first took notice of the quiet-thought guy, and when I looked up he was staring pretty hard (way to not let on you're aware of him, dude; no wonder you're never going to make detective) then he fell off the bar stool and no one noticed. The quiet guy slip him a mickey some how or was it a psychic backlash headache? Also, just poor Matt. Everyone treats him like shit without even looking at him. He seems a fairly affable, if disappointed guy, and I don't buy wifey being a mega-bitch about him missing a counseling session (if my spouse missed a session and came home to tell me he'd been given a job with someone above and beyond what he'd ever thought he wanted, I wouldn't be snitting at him; then again, I don't think poor Matt ever got a word in edgewise--too excited about his gift). I say he makes it up to her by reading her thoughts and being like fucking spectacular at, well, fucking, then dumps her ass. Then he can come be my boyfriend. I see no problems with this.
Did anyone besides me watch The Nine last week? I dunno, I think I'd rather watch Project Runway at 10 pm, even if that will rerun at a later time and I could catch both, and even if that show's almost over and The Nine just beginning. It just didn't grab me, which is a shame because I loves me some Tim Daly. If anyone saw it and can convince me that I should watch it, maybe I'll check out Wednesday's episode online.
