Heroes March 2

go watch HIMYM online if you didnt dvr it. it was AMAZING!

1:00 - true or false: "youre not harriet tubman claire" was actually a line on tonite's episode?

2:00 - memo to writers: mr muggles ceased being funny in season 1.
LB Note: See I thought he was the best part of the episode...

3:00 - this guy's name is West Beta right?
CB Note: Based on looks, I think he's more like Peter Beta. Maybe Hayden helped with casting. (Btw, did you hear they broke up? I wonder if this will have a positive effect on either of their acting)

4:00 - uh oh, they figured out matt and peter are in manhattan. is that bc they have cameras at isaacs apartment? seems like a smart idea, seeing as how Heroes go there EVERY SEASON. its like the writers thought "yea, theyre gonna make fun of us ruthlessly for going back to this apartment. lets make sure to put the characters there for a second episode too just to let the viewers get it all out of their system"
CB Note: It's sort of like on soap operas, where they only have like 5 total sets, so they use the same ones over and over and over again and it makes no sense. Is there really only one restaurant in Genoa City?!?! Why is everyone hanging out at the bookstore so much all of a sudden???

5:00 - who is it?! who is hacking?! cb totes knows its... THE REBEL!!!!

6:00 - so, i thought the micah as rebel theory was great, and hilarious. the only problem is, micah's theme music hasnt been playing during Rebel text messages. maybe the Rebel is just a 12 year old girl who is bored in english class.
CB Note: Everyone knows Micah's music, that would ruin the suspense!! Which actually leads me to believe that they'd think that playing the music would be sneaky and no one would be the wiser.

7:00 - cb thinks those oil paints should be wet. cant believe the baddies just missed them!
CB Note: Oil paint takes weeks to fully dry. Just saying.

8:00 - cb also cant believe that dbag figured out they were headed to DC from that picture of Manhattan exploding. whoops, i mean the Washington Monument exploding.

9:00 - claire is 17. her mom is such a prude.

10:00 - this kid is so whiny and annoying. he reminds me of Jay Cutler...

11:00 - Snap into a Big Jim!!!

12:00 - Hamlet is totally not paying attention.


13:00 - hey, its a plot about claire's mom not knowing anything and them trying to protect her. thats not something that's been part of the last 3 seasons! oh wait, yes it is.

14:00 - id be more interested in this pool cleaner plot if the woman was nekkid. thats right, only nudity can save this show now. it has to move to Skinemax.

15:00 - parkman, while sneaking into building: "These are not the droids you're looking for..."
LB Note: These scenes with Parkman and Peter like focusing on people with their minds were potentially the worst scenes in history.

16:00 - oh well, if you guys want to be REALLY OBVIOUS you could just write these 2 lines -

Peter: "you will finish the lunch in the hall"
Imperial Stormtrooper: "i will finish my lunch in the hall"

17:00 - cb laughed at parkmans funnyness and his tough guy camera look. it was mildly funny i admit.
CB Note: I dont know, I was amused by the Parkman/Peter mind controlling scenes this time. I liked that they added the Star Wars references to make it extra corny :)

18:00 - btw, as per melon's instructions, im officially declaring my Heroes quitting moment the 16:00 entry.

19:00 - cb and i are appalled, APPALLED, at claire's dumb mom knowing how to make fake IDs. nto to mention her kitchen sink methods. if it were that easy, we wouldnt have had to go to La Bodega on New York Ave. to buy 12 packs of Coors Light back in HS.
LB Note: She's also gonna have to take Lyle (sp?) to replace his drivers license and that means a trip to the DMV...cut to next weeks opening scene...

20:00 - ohnoes. what will happen to claires mom and hrg's marriage? will they divorce? will they reconcile? will i care? does this character matter in any way to the show? i could not be LESS invested in that relationship. its not like Ned and Cateleyn...
CB Note: I wish I could comment, but as Rachel and Lawrence have no read the book, I cannot.

21:00 - sylar's father apparently was a country musician... for all we know sylar's mom keyed his car, and took a Louisville Slugger to both headlights... no wonder sylar's so messed up.

22:00 - oh man what a coincidence!!! and how creepy! and.. umm.. boring?

23:00 - its like, they have all these scenes nowadays that they think are tense, and exciting, and mysterious... and they are just dumb.

24:00 - cb, on sylar's storyline: "this reminds me of majah's roadtrip..."
CB Note: In that it is NEVERENDING!!!!!!!!!! Find your father already!!! It's been 10 episodes!!!!!!!

25:00 - uh oh. claire and West Beta are totes flirting! didnt he tell us like 10 minutes ago that he would never hook up with her? again, i feel nothing. nothing but scorn. these are the worst characters ever. man i sure wish there were Houses on tonite :(

26:00 - i totally thought West Beta was hiding under water, in the bottom of the bath tub. apparently while i was bitterly blogging they hid him somewhere... howd those idiot agents not find him?
CB Note: 1) You didn't notice them hide him behind a vent within the pantry closet. 2) You thought that if he hid beneath water in a tub that no one could see him?

27:00 - know what i just noticed? the show is so bad, that lots of scenes consist of dialogues that is some short declarative sentences, then the characters giving long looks at each other, while they think about what to do. thats what happens all the time in soap operas. ask dave. he'll tell ya...

28:00 - Jack Abbott, I will CRUSH you!!!

29:00 - what is this senses as raw nerves about parkmans ability?! wtf is that from? have we ever seen it before? did they make it up just as an excuse for this scene? i reneg on my entry of 18:00. THIS was the moment i pick as the worst of the show.
LB Note: This was absolutely absurd. They just made this up! Also why didn't it effect Peter if he was also using the power. So stupid.

30:00 - hmm, now in this flashback apparently sylar's dad was a bass player in some kind of punk hipster 90s band...?
CB Note: It was more 80sish than 90sish. Everyone knows you didnt listen to music til college baby.

31:00 - ok, first. sylar's dad sold sylar, then killed his mom in the car, in what was supposed to be a dramatic twist. only i was half paying attention bc i couldnt stop rocking out to that ridiculous music they were playing during the scene. second, he sliced her head like how sylar kills people? WHAT. THE. F. its like, on instinct, you think, "OMG he had sylars power too!" except, of course, "OMG NO HE DIDNT, sylar's power is to look at stuff and see how it works." slicing people's heads has never really been part of the power. i always thought the slicing was part of the telekinesis power. they are SO DUMB!!!
LB Note: This part didn't bother me so much. You had to figure one of his folks had powers. His dad also prolly had an affair with Angela Petrelli and created Sylar. Oh wait, he discovered last season that she was lying about that...

32:00 - peter is the worst blackmailer ever. cb: "why doesnt he blackmail him to stop the whole operation?" me: "why would nathan think he didnt just make copies?"
LB Note: Yeah I don't get this either. And couldn't they just have footage of like Nikki like freezing someone to death and everyone would be like ok never mind send 'em to Gitmo...

33:00 - so when they stopped the car, then claires mom made a comment, and they went running into the back of the house i said "hes totally hidden in the trunk, and its claire making noise out back to trick them. which i thought was a super obvi nut. except it was claire out back with West Beta, and apparently they had enough time to roll around on the grass and up the sexual tension some more. and, by up the tension, i mean increase it from 0 to 0.

34:00 - this underwater kiss made the spiderman upside down kiss look brilliant. cb nutted it btw. and my hiding at the bottom of the tub nut was just 20min too early.
LB Note: I didn't understand this part at all b/c they were like super getting into the kiss and Clare's mouth was open at times ingesting water. Also could he just let her die since she can't feel pain and then she'd revive as soon as she got out of the water...
CB Note: Your "bottom of the tub" nut wasnt a nut at all. And this was a pool, not a tub, why do you think thats applicable??

35:00 - also, on this blackmail plot, as if the news organizations would do anything but go along with whatever the president and defense department told them to do... weve seen that plot before already. at least it was better written than this, i suppose. even if it did cost more than the hour Heroes steals from my life each week.

36:00 - ok - the dbag shoots peter scene: a) peter is the dumbest. i mean, i know ive used the word dumbest like 5 times this ep, but i dont know what else to use. hrg tells peter to flee, and peter just stands there. b) i thought peter would get a way anyway, since dbag took 3 seconds to make a pithy and unfunny one liner. c) cb nutted nathan saving him after he got shot. d) good thing for nathan peter got shot on that side of the building.
LB Note: I dunno, he didn't trust HRG, that kinda made sense.

37:00 - that scene at 36:00 made a strong play for worst scene of the ep and a victory in melon's contest.

38:00 - angela and nathan's long linger looks at the end of that scene reminded of how nick and sharon always look longingly at each other...
CB Note: Um, ew. That's his mom.

39:00 - i know this is fiction, but i cant believe the media orgs played that footage and didnt hush it up...

40:00 - oh man, sylar is gonna trade jay cutler to the tampa bucs and sign matt cassell as his new protege. jay is gonna get emo. wait, i mean, ummm... well, it works as an analogy. but if sylar doesnt trade jay, this is really gonna strain their relationship.

41:00 - cb has nutted dbag strapping parkman with tnt like in parkmans pictures. i did not nut this, bc i never really paid attention to the pictures. i was too busy making fun of the fact that they just photoshopped in the Monument for NYC.

42:00 - why does he keep calling them terrorists? they are heroes with superpowers. shows that mangle semi-serious national issues drive me insane. /rage
LB Note: They so are terrorists! Didn't you see that picture on Isaac's floor...

43:00 - a few tricks? that plan was pathetic mama claire. "just run out the back door!" sums it up nicely. those 2 agents were worse than useless. claire doesnt need a sappy love story, she has West Beta now. maybe if we are lucky, next ep he will move to a pineapple under the sea and live with spongebob squarepants.

44:00 - umm. didnt puppetman die? i thought he got killed with biomom (not to be confused with octomom) at the end of last season? and how does Rebel know him? Rebel seems to know the future tbh.
LB Note: Rebel is future Hiro with his powers back!


can we quit yet? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease???
LB Note: I was considering it but since you stopped bloggin gat 44:00...
