heroes ep 3.02 reviewish thing
Some general observations about “The Butterfly Effect,” mostly because I read the Comic-Con episode recap months ago and the shock of reading didn’t transfer well with time/viewing.
You guys, Bennet’s power is ‘gun.’ In lieu of ‘gun,’ it’s ‘rubber ball.’ I would not want to play House of the Dead 3 against him.
Wait, Bennet’s other power from season 1 is back! You know, the jet-setting from New York to anywhere in 2 minutes power? Except his ability is getting more advanced, because he has time to fly from Hartsdale, NY to Lubbock, TX (Kermit probably doesn’t have an airport) to Costa Verde, CA and it also includes an additional ability to convince fire-moms to ride with you despite the fact that you and your foxy English partner tried to kidnap said fire-mom 15 years ago. He would literally scoff if Mohinder ever offered him those ability-steroids. Actually now that I think about it, I really want to see Bennet’s reaction if ever offered the ability-steroids. I honestly think he would refuse them, no joke.
Aww, Elle. You just got Trump-ed by Mama P. Don’t worry; I know for a fact that there are evil energy companies in Houston who would love to hire you.
Future Peter: “God! Ruined the future AGAIN, so stupid!” *impales self repeatedly* “Stupid stupid stupid!”
People in the discussion post kept singing “Believe It or Not” whenever William Katt was onscreen, but whenever I see that I think of George Costanza’s answering machine on Seinfeld.
Tracey: *politicizes*
William Katt: BELIEVE IT OR NOT GEORGE ISN’T AT HOME! PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE AT THE-
T: Leave me alone, I’m not Niki Sanders!
WK: O RLY?
T: The fuck is this? This looks like a shitty Powerpoint your grandmother made through dictation to Toonces the Typing cat.
WK: BUT IT IS YOU, I KNOW IT IS, JUST-AAAAAHHHH
T: Holy shit! *flees*
WK: I GOT THIS ICEBOX WHERE MY BODY USED TO BE
But can you really blame Tracy for freaking out over the icy fingers? I mean, she’s a politician. What if people find out and start using all those clichés on her, like insisting that she was “on thin ice” trying to keep it secret. Or telling her to “chill” during policy discussion. Or asking her “what’s cooler, than being cool?!” whenever she gets angry. Damn, even the Governator would start using Mr. Freeze lines from Batman and Robin in speeches because then they’d actually be considered witty. Then the people would all call her “Alaska,” and then Sarah Palin would jump at the chance to debate her because she actually has hoards of experience at anything Alaska related, and it would all culminate in Tracy being hunted down by a helicopter-borne sniper in the tundra. See. This ice thing is just bad politically.
LOLZ, you guys, Nathan = Ricky Gervais in Ghost Town. They should totally bring Isaac and Simone back just to haunt Nathan. Thompson and Bob too!
Seriously though, I am pretty excited about newly pro-active Claire. There’s probably going to still be some whining involved but I’m okay with it, because it’s a big step up from West. Nathan I’m not feeling as much, sadly, mostly because of him getting religion in such a frightening way, but I’m glad he isn’t totally changed, I liked his interaction with Tracey. All in all, still pretty soapy, if not more, but I’m looking forward to all the suds, basically.
Also, sorry if I don't comment back right away, because today I'm going to go see a few bands, like oh, Vampire Weekend, N.E.R.D., and The Mars Volta at Austin City Limits Fest. Go on. Commence jealousy :D
