Spoilers for Heroes 2x11 Powerless

[fan_elune]

Oh my GOD. Oh HOLY FUCK. Peter, don't be an idiot, INJECT HIM WITH YOUR BLOOD. Angela, I love you so bad (and hate you so hard). Heroes writers, thank you so much for not killing Adam. Fanfic may proceed as usual. Sylar, there are no words for my lust for you. Adam using his katana in stylish today's clothes ftw. Elle is so much love. NATHAN.

Now if somebody could kill Maya for real? Thanks a bunch. I love Sylar for being so tired of her bullshit that he just shot her. "Look what you made me do."

And "You were more than a friend to me"? The slashy thoughts, oh my. I adore the fact that Adam has let go of his Hiro hatred, though. He's grown past it and onto having a God complex. He could have killed Hiro, but didn't, and left Peter to do it. A mistake, as it turns out, but it shows that it's nothing personal anymore. Hiro made him into the man he now is.

I think Adam and Kronos (out of Highlander) should have a talk. They share so much of the same aims and opinions. Sheds a whole new light on possible dynamics between Adam and Methos, too. Although the likes of them should humble Adam more than he cares to be - four hundred years? Oh, whoa. How did the two of us meet? Oh, we became friends back during the Bronze Age, when we rode around pillaging, raping and killing. Good times.

Also, Nathan's hair has become slightly too long. Cut your hair, Adrian, and, y'know, come back from the dead. God knows everybody tries, but nobody's as slashy with Milo as you are.

PS: Sylar owns all. No, seriously.

ITA that Adam is past his personal animosity toward Hiro and now sees him as an obstacle -- and, still, as someone he once cared about. It just killed me when he called Hiro "Carp."

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

I know! That summed it up so well. I loved Anders' delivery there.

...okay, I tend to always love Anders' delivery, but hush.

Yes, I thought it was so important that when Hiro said 'friend,' Adam turned to face him and softly said that their relationship had meant way more to him. He was literally sinking when he met Hiro, was treated kindly and Hiro refused to give up on him. Whatever Adam thought about Hiro's mission, he was very fond of 'the carp' and to have that betrayal was very damaging. But, in 400 years, he had other things to occupy his time and he let go of his anger toward Hiro. Of course when he gets out of that coffin he is going to be *furious* and I don't think it is at all unwarranted.

Adam and Kronos? Would be an interesting pair. Ooh, and what Kronos would say about Methos? Because Adam doesn't have anyone he absolutely needs to have around him- he has been alone for the most part, whereas Kronos was not complete without Methos.

Sylar=FTW. He and Adam pwn everyone, the next volume, if it is going to give the villains more attention, will make me happy. Perhaps they can form their version of the anti-Justice League. After all, in Wanted, when the villains teamed up, they cleaned the world of the heroes and made it their own.

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know, I cannot wait to read/watch what happens when he gets out. Of course he will. Hiro, you fool. I also greatly enjoyed Anders' performance inside that coffin, it brought Adam back down on a very human level, that panic. Shouting will have no effect, nor will banging, and yet he does it, so unlike Adam. Can you imagine the claustrophobia of being trapped in such a confined space? Oh, Hiro, you have no clue what you've done.

Yesss! Hearing Kronos talk about Methos would puzzle Adam so. But then again, the Adam we see in the show has never known kinship. He's never met anyone that would live this long. That was the lesson he was forced to learn in the latest two comic installments, after all. He is alone. And instead of turning towards kinship, finding a relationship with an equal, he turned towards 'disciples', followers. He could learn a lot about brotherhood from the Horsemen.

Oh, god, I do so hope they will develop them more and more and more. I am so utterly fascinated with the villains of this show. Seriously. Sylar keeps amazing me. I'm always scared they'll screw him up somehow, and he keeps being so delightful through and through.

Hiro is an idiot. Determined, but still not able to follow through. He was shut inside a tiny box. I wonder if that's ever happened to him before, and if it is that panic that is making him freak out. I bet that is one of the worst ways to die; I brought it up in one of my fics, that Adam tested himself in different ways, but this one wasn't his choosing, and someone he cared about, was fond of, did this to him, knowing that he would never die, that he would be lying there for possibly all time. If Hiro thinks that this won't come back and bite him- he is still frightfully naive.

Adam has never known kinship; he may have had companions, perhaps, but nobody has last long enough for him to be truly attached to them. He knows that everyone else is mortal, so what is the point in making himself vulnerable to their eventual loss? He needs a brother, someone to stand with him and sometimes swat him over the head.

The villains are so very intriguing. They are not just bad, they have motivations that are as complex if not more so as those of the heroes, and with these sorts, there is the possibility that their goals may intersect with a larger good at some point, but that doesn't mean that they will abandon their own schemes and goals.

Adam wants to save the world, Sylar wants to fulfill his destiny. Both of them are very much interested in the concept of what people deserve, and right now, much of the population hasn't prove that they know how best to handle their resources, be they extraordinary talents or their environment.

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

But see, I am not sure Adam will ever die this way. It's not the worst way to die, for him, it's the worst way to stay alive. Dying over and over again, at least, would be change, something to tell the time by. A cycle. Hiro has condemned him to life in prison, and when your life is eternal? The prospect is terrifying. Unless rescue comes soon, Adam will not only be furious, positively wrathful, he will also be actually insane. Oh, Hiro.

Kronos and Adam have been eyeing each other up in my head, waiting for me to decide to write them. It's most unsettling.

[transtempts.livejournal.com]

If his blood won't let him die, then yes, it is an even worse fate. And yes, rescue needs to come v. soon.

Kronos and Adam are eying each other? That could be messy, or fascinating.

Hi there. Any chance we could have an OP talk on msn sometimes at the end of the week? Friday, Saturday, Sunday, any time, I'm here ;-) Let me know.

[rifle.livejournal.com]

I so very nearly just read this, not knowing it was Spoilerific :(

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Dude! Do I need to cap the title of the post! Get thee hence pronto now!

[rifle.livejournal.com]

You do, else I go 'OH, WHAT IS UP WITH TEH FAN'?' and then only just cover my face in time :(

[rifle.livejournal.com]

Because I am stoopid, I hasten to add.

[rifle.livejournal.com]

Or rather, now I'm not sure my friends page layout shows titles. WTF, MANZ.

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

There, I've added it in the lj-cut, so any further mishaps are impossible. *salutes!*

[rifle.livejournal.com]

Thanks, lovely.

[pee-wai.livejournal.com]

You're right about Adam and Hiro but I really think that the finale sucked! I'm aware that they had to wrap it up quickly because of the strike (damn you corporate America) but it still feels like they didn't make much of an effort.
Anyway I found most of season 2 pretty dull except for certain episodes. I'm really disappointed because season one was really good. Claire is boring and annoying, the mexicans are annoying too, the way Peter is so stubborn doesn't feel real and I dunno, the story is just not as interesting. Thank god there's Elle, Sylar and Adam :)

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Really? I thought it was well wrapped up - in fact, wasn't it always supposed to be wrapped up in this amount of time? I had heard over the summer that they would do two arcs - and the first (well, second, but first of the season) volume should be closed before Xmas hiatus. I think they've told this story, and to stretch it further would have been a mistake. This isn't Lost, after all. /random jibe at JJ

See, Elle, Sylar and Adam were more than enough to make me adore what we've had of S2. Those three characters are just so very fascinating. Noah was up there as well. Peter has never been of any particular interest to me, although I do wish they had fastforwarded through his amnesic stint, as that was rather pointless and entirely boring. Claire was, well, Claire. Very in character. And see, I don't think anybody liked the Mexicans, but their scenes quickly became Sylar scenes, and that made it totally okay. Because dude, Sylar. SYLAR FTW.

No, I find that if anything, their great failing is Hiro. I have very little sympathy for Hiro this season, and keep wanting to call him carp. Not in a nice way. Then again, it might not be a failing of the writers so much as exactly what they mean to do. Time will tell.

Next volume: VILLAINS. WOOT!

Hey! Hi! This has absolutely nothing to do with Heroes at all, but I watched this today, and I thought I remembered you saying you liked the song, so I thought I'd forward you the link. It's a re-worked version of "Both Hands" and it's kind of cool to hear the differences. Anyway, she plays about 36-37 minutes into the show, so you can fast forward to that point if you want to listen to it. =)

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

It... won't let me watch anything. Damn you, you stupid site. But thank you for thinking about me! I'll try and find it on YouTube. :D

[gracielu.livejournal.com]

Well, dammit! If you can't find it on YouTube, then go to www.nbc.com and click on Late Show You can choose full episodes to watch and it was the one from Friday 11/30. It's worth watching just to see the disparity between their heights.

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

It won't let me on account of me not being in America. :( And YouTube doesn't have it.
