  1. Taking Claire's power gave Sylar super healing which made him basically unstopable. Thus saving Clair would save the world, since Sylar could be killed before he turned nuclear. Or at least that's what Hiro thought. It made sense, even though the plan might have been flawed.
  2. Maybe I'm an easy lay. Maybe I'm just happy with the fact that we finally have a show with gay main characters that isn't a comedy (and yes, I'm including Queer as Folk in that). But I love this show, I love these characters and I loved this episode. Sure it might have been done before, but what hasn't? "Simpsons did it" is a meme for a reason. The important thing is that finally it is done with some realism. Is this show showing all gay realities? Certainly not. But it's showing a gay reality. One show can't show every facet of life. If somebody else wants to do a show about gay bankers, I'd be thrilled to watch it (as long as they find an interesting hook), but that isn't this show and I think that's okay. I give you that there isn't a riveting plot, but there isn't one in Mad Men either. These kinds of shows are about the characters and I think we got a lot of insight into them this episode. Like I said, maybe I'm just an easy lay, but from my perspective there are some unrealistic expectations put on this show. I guess we might be so starved for shows with gay characters that we want this show to fill that void completely, but no single show could. To be fair, if my boss was Russell Tovey that would be my first and only instinct, too. Since there is more than one open relationship on this planet, I think we can savely say that a lot of people think it's a good idea. Why wouldn't two of those be in the same relationship and it thus be good for both of them. Judging by the divorce rate monogamy just doesn't seem very compatible with human nature. Why is it worse to stay together and have sex with other people than to split up and do the same? Seems to me like monogamy is rooted in insecurity. It's the fear that he/she might find something better and leave you. Don't get me wrong, I'm the king of insecurity and I don't know if I could ever do an open relationship, but let's not pretend that monogamy is something noble and romantic.
  3. To be honest, I remember almost nothing about heroes past season one, despite having watched all of it. I just remember generall annoyance at the badness of it all. I guess my brain just deamed it not important enough to waste space. So I don't remember Monica Dawson at all, even after looking her up.
  4. While I would love that, I doubt we'll get that on the Disney channel. Although on the actual Disney channel we got Gravity Falls, so maybe I'm not giving them enough credit.
  5. Thing is that Sky is supposed to be a computer- hacker- nerd- type. She should be genre savy enough to know that you don't leave your enemies for dead. You make damn sure that they are in fact dead. Since the gun wasn't empty after the 4 shots to the side, that would have meant a nice head shot. Also how badass would it have been if she had followed up her "never turn your back on an enemy"-line with a head shot? I think that would have brought me around on her character. Like it is now, I'm just annoyed again. Well last season finale we had agent Hand, who is very not black and that was a pretty big deal, too. Remember, these are the Whedons running the show. Sooner or later everybody will be dead. Don't worry. ;) That goes even more so for Peter Petrelli. He was super overpowered which is why it was originally planned that he would die together with Skylar in the finale. But nooooo they couldn't even let the most annoying character of the whole cast die. With Skylar I can at least understand how it's hard to let him go, but Peter, really?!
  6. If Cas really feels so bad, why doesn't he just bring the girls father back? We know that angels can drag souls out of hell and put them back into bodies. Cas did that with Dean in the beforetimes, the long long ago (when we still had good writing). Are you really telling me that getting souls out of heaven, where you can walk in and out as you please, since you some weird kind of hero, is so much harder? Oh please. Also that ending of the peisode was ridiculous. Why in the hell would Sam ever leave Dean alone in a house full of thugs? Did the girl really need two people escorting her out? Really?! Or did he really not notice that Dean wasn't coming out with him? Man, Sam is blind.
  7. Didn't Sky say at some point (over and over again) that she wanted Ward dead? So either she still secretly likes him or she is incompetent. One option more nausiating than the other. God I wish she would become a better character, but every time I have hope the writers dash it. Also really lame that Sky looks exactly the same after her "transformation". I hope the reason was that it would have been too much of a hassle to put a main character in heavy makeup every day and not that we can't have anything change our special Sky's angelic looks. *hurl* Other than that, very good and enjoyable episode. Still don't get why the city would attack Coulson, when he has that special blood and was led to it though. Maybe he has to have held the deviner once? Btw. do we still have some of the Kree blood lying around? Now that we can just show a plan of the city to patients it doesn't have any downside, does it?
  8. Man that episode was some bullshit. At the time where the snow queen took Emma's memorys there was no magic in this world. None. Not even the Dark One had magic. So how did she do that? By the writers being lazy, that's how. Speaking of lazy writing, the character regression of Rumple this season really grinds my gears and I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to stand this show.
  9. It's fall at the moment (the only time of year you can actually see the moon at daytime is fall and spring, btw.). Thanksgiving just passed, so that checks out. I guess they started in the morning hours and Liv brought them back in the evening. Fall days are short. In south virginia they are a between 8 and 9 hours from sunrise to sundown at the moment. When you consider that the sun was already up when they started and it was still up when they came back, those 7 hours check out. What makes it feel wrong is that they are all dressed way too lightly for the season. You'd think it was the middle of summer, looking at them.
  10. That is what I assume the writers were going for. Problem is they never told us and it's not like Damon and Elena had to be in the exact place where Liv pulled them out. They were in the house and Liv pulled them to the graveyard. So is there an arbitrary range on that spell? How far does it go? 5 miles, 10 miles, a 100? Seems kinda stupid, is all I'm saying. I wish the writers would take better care with these things. They used to be so good about them, back in the day. Because plot! Btw. we do know how they'll get Bonnie out, right? Kai probably brought the other Ascendant with him from 1994 (although last time it was used it stayed behind and so that does not make any sense and Bonnie should just be able to find it in the cave, but watch it happen anyway). I guess at that point they still thought that Kai was in there with her. So bringing magic-bear to the magic-vampire would not have been a good idea.
  11. I was taken out of that moment by multiple things: - Headphones aren't that sturdy, they'd just snap. - They didn't dig into the cabbie's throat at all. - Apparently cabbie's die after seconds of holding their breath... Must be all that sitting behind the wheel they do. No lung capacity or red blood cells left.
  12. I'm really surprised at my reaction, since in past seasons I found her to be rather boring, but I really like Bonnie and want her to get out of "the past" and go on a road trip with Damon or something (and a few episodes being exclusively about them). Btw. why did Elena and Damon sit around on their asses for 5 hours? Couldn't they have met Bonnie half way somewhere? Had they done that Bonnie would be out right now. (Yes I know the writers would have just changed up the timeline, to still keep her in, but at least the characters wouldn't look like they are devoid of common sense.) That's exactly what I was thinking. He might be over the anti magic border, but that also means he has no magic to defend himself and you still have vampire strength where you are. Throw a rock or a big stick at his head. Problem solved. At this point they deserve everything bad that happens for being so stupid. Maybe from the first pair of twins one is always a nut-job. I mean look at their father. He is crazy with a cherry on top and considering that in that coven twin killed twin for hundreds of years, that seems to be kind of a requirement. But yeah, don't know why Liv and Luke couldn't just refuse. They haven't made that clear, really. I guess their father will go psycho on them and he is supposedly really powerfull, since he ate his twin. Liv talked about hiding in Mystic Falls this episode, where I guess she would be realtively save, because of the anti magic field.
