Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram. 6 Comments

As I suspected, watching a guy vomit bile into a baggie in the ER waiting room last night was likely more engaging than this latest episode.
I watched the first couple of minutes online this morning and I think Daphne summed up the writers' feelings about continuity and our complaints about the storyline. Behold:
Daphne: He's a precog. He sees the future and he paints it.
Hiro: Like Mr. Isaac!
Daphne: Whatever.
Whatever. Niki had a real-live twin, but now she's one of a set of triplets? Whatever. Heroes is retreading the same ground? Whatever. A great villain has been castrated? Whatever.
Whatever, indeed.
I'll have more to say once I've finished watching the episode. Oh yes. I will suffer through it in solidarity.
Yeah, I can't say I've been too thrilled with this season so far. Doyle was immensely stupid for not figuring up something was up when Claire encouraged her mom to shoot her, and the woman not only pulled the trigger, but did it *several times*. Instead of figuring Claire had a power, he simply thought it was cool that mom was willing to kill daughter. Oy vey, with villains this dumb, who needs heroes? The only use for him was to illustrate to us how Claire might be invulnerable but she does still have a weakness.
I am immensely depressed that Adam is dea. What a waste of a great character! Arthur doesn't scare me so much as make my flesh crawl. Peter's gotten so annoying that I could care less if he dies. When will it occur to Hiro that the scene he witnessed of Ando killing him could very well be the same scenario he just enacted — a trick? (I actually like Sylar going good, but I confess to being a total sucker for redemption stories.)
BTW, what the heck happened to the other people that were introduced last season? I liked Micah's cousin a hell of a lot more than Maya. And is Peter's girl now trapped in a future that will never exist? Did she go poof? Why hasn't he tried to find her? And for that matter, where is Claude?
I no longer care if Mohinder lives or dies. Not all that caring about Matt, either.
I actually like Tracey better than Nikki (or Jesse), and find it intriguig that they've found a way to bring the actress back (now if only they could do the same with Adam, but he looks to be Captain Marvel Dead). Her power's provem to be pretty useful, too — what can hold her? I wonder if she's actually *cloned* instead of siblings, though ….
And why do Peter, PapaP, and Gabriel's powers all seem very similar/related, and Mat and his dad's are, yet Michah's is nothing like those of his parents, nor is Claire's like either of her parents' powers? (Yet she's a decendent of Adam, right? Or did I just think that in my head?)
(Hey, did we ever learn what Ando's Otousan's power was? I must have blinked and missed it)
*Doh!* I meant Hiro’s Otousan, not Ando’s. XD Sumimasen ~ watashi wa bakayero!
I forgot about Claude! A dash of Christopher Eccleston makes everything more palatable!
Sylar going good: weird, but Quinto makes it interesting. You just know someone is lying here, be it Mama Petrelli or Sylar himself.
Peter going evil: on the other hand, this just bothers me. Every time he comes on screen I just want to tell him to SHUT UP. God! So annoying.
Daphne: Well, it’s good to know that after, what, maybe a half hour of screen time since the first episode, that Daphne already needs to be protected. And she has a protector. I liked when she zipped away, saying Parkman was getting a bit too stalky, but then she zipped BACK and was giving him the moony eyes! GRAH! Why is Mama Petrelli the ONLY female character that gets to be morally ambiguous?
Wolfen Moondaughter, Micah’s cousin, Monica, got written out of the show, which is one of my pet peeves about this season as I thought she was the most interesting superhero. I did hear that there will be deleted scenes featuring Monica on the Season 3 DVD, but I don’t know if I’m willing to buy this crap season just to see what happens to Monica.
Claire being descended from Adam would make sense, but that would make him a pre-Petrelli, and that would be a little too convenient.
Jessica was NOT Niki's twin, NOR related to her!!! Adopted sister!!
