Watching Heroes last night gave me something to do while my PC's hard drive attempted to reconstruct itself after a massive system failure. Yay.
I'm utterly crushed that Sylar didn't even try to kill Danko. Not even a little bit. I am, however, very happy that Sylar gave him a gift-wrapped Eric Doyle. I'm not in favor of rounding up specials as a general thing, but if anyone deserves to be dropped down a well and never heard from again, it's Puppet Man.
Angela was looking a little beaten down this week. And I was disappointed she was caught so quickly (well, in the episode, anyway; I suspect she was looking so stressed because she'd been evading Danko's men for a bit already). Anyway, she may not have much in the way of action hero cred, but she has plenty of smarty brains and I was hoping to see her outsmart Danko's men a little longer. Her escape from the limo was awesome and very her. She's just lucky that Peter is the most forgiving son on the planet.
What was the point of dragging out the suspense about whether Daphne was really dead or not after she got shot if they were only going to bring her back long enough to have her really die? Pooey. I liked Daphne. Parkman gave her a very sweet sendoff, though.
On the other hand, I'd be a lot more enthused about Tracy's death if I didn't think Ali Larter was just going to come back again as yet another character. I just hope the next one is more obviously different from Jessica. I kept forgetting Larter was playing Tracy now.
Micah grew up fast! I didn't want to be disappointed that Micah turned out to be Rebel because I like Micah and he always wanted to be a hero, but since 90% of fandom had already guessed that Micah was Rebel, I was kind of hoping that the show would throw us a curveball and that Rebel would turn out to be Hana or something.
The Hiro/Ando/BabyMatt storyline was cute. I loved how BabyMatt kept turning on the TV while DaddyMatt was on. I'd love an explanation for why BabyMatt only jump-started one of Hiro's powers, though. Danko lost some evil overlord points from me when he sent out a team to bring Janice and BabyMatt in "for questioning." You're not really fooling anyone with your agenda when you bring in a baby who isn't even walking yet, let alone talking, for questioning.
Bets on how many episodes until Ali Larter turns up again? And could I please have a scene where Peter finally confronts his mother about how she wanted him to explode and die in season 1 so that his brother could be president? Pretty please? Just a little one?
