So, how about those Petrellis?

OH, SHOW!

Linderman continues to be awesome and Magento-like, which is just ... yay. When Magneto is written well in comic books (and also in the movies, excluding the third one that we pretend doesn't exist) he is endlessly fascinating to me and while I realise it's not really a direct parallel, I do like that Lindermann isn't just a black and white villain. Mmmm, layers.

OMG Mama Petrelli was with Lindermann and Hiro's father (maybe) in that previous group of super-heroes! I remember reading someone's speculation that Linderman was really Nathan's father and dude, that could explain a lot and the more I think about Linderman/Mama Petrelli the happier I become. Honestly, that's a 'ship I could totally get behind. Just think of the mind games and the sparring. Mmmm.

Speaking of Petrellis, I am in no way a Peter/Nathan 'shipper, but ... Adrian Pasdar's face when he saw Peter there, and the clutching and the conversation afterwards. So much love, even though Peter is still annoying me just a little bit. (Nathan, not so much, he's just fascinating me. I loved that he was given that portrait). I am totally understanding the Petrelli obsession now, especially as now that also includes the increasing awesomeness of Mama Petrelli and Claire as well.

Moving on to Claire. I can kinda get the Peter/Claire 'shippers, even though again, I'm not one of them. I find their relationship really interesting though, but not really in a 'shippy way. Peter's theory on Claire is really interesting. And that Nathan and Claire hug and that whole conversation was just totally awww.

Mr Bennet continues to rock all before him in the best way imaginable. Also, Matt continued his trend of actually being interesting.

This ep also might be the first time I cared about Nikki. I just really don't want to know what plans Linderman has for Micah. Meep. And how he got him was just, eeevil. Candace is scary.

Poor Isaac. I really started to like him over the last couple of eps. Also, the fact that he gave the sketch-book away is totally going to come back somehow.

I also really liked that Sylar had his own style of future-painting. Very ... German Expressionist. Very Kirchner actually. That probably isn't a good sign.

Mohinder, you are not allowed to chose your own allies ever again.

And finally, Hiro and future!Hiro and ... what!?



Yeah, I'm willing to call this an obsession now. I love this show and I can't wait for next week! (It is next week, right?).
