trinityvixenWe have come to the everything-including-the-kitchen-sink point. Time to condense. Things that are working for me right now:
1) The fucked-up-ed-ness of Bennet's teaming with Sylar leading him to bring his daughter's cerebral rapist back into her life.
I do not like Good Boy Sylar. I do like the interaction between Sylar and Claire, however. It appeals to all her dirty-wrong-bad buttons, not least of which is the fact that her sympathy and lust for him is incestuous like whoa. (It's a Petrelli thing.) Make no mistake, Claire finding things in common with Sylar is really workable. They're both coming at it from different angles, but their common ground is believable now that neutered!Sylar is a given. I think that his conversion is either slipping or suspect because he seemed dangerously close to some super roid rage over Mr. Bennet wanting to kill him. Maybe converting Claire to his way of thinking is his ultimate revenge.
2) Nathan being a synthetic super.
I love that development because it makes him even more my wubby. Poor Nathan. He's the only super who is still a human being at heart--conflicted, imperfect, determined, struggling. It's really heart-breaking that he's nothing more than a trial run for Mama's better boys. It also explains how come his brothers are so overpowered and he can, uh, fly.
...that's it.
I'm pretty sure if I pulled a South Park and had manatees pick out words with which to make plot developments, you couldn't come up with more unlikely, improbable, or staggeringly moronic developments.
I watched My Own Worst Enemy afterwards. It was terrible. It was still better than Heroes. There was also a frightening moment where someone quoted something pithy (they did that a lot) and I said, "That makes no sense." Then Christian Slater said the exact same thing. I could totally write for NBC.
