Moar Heroes! Sort of spoilery
Oct. 2nd, 2009 08:52 pmSo I'm now halfway through Season 2 of Heroes and my first thought is: Molly has two daddies! LOL, I'm sure that the writers didn't intend for me to take the fact that Mohinder and Matt are living together and taking care of Molly as them being together together, but I couldn't help but go there right off the bat. How cute is it that they both come running to comfort her, that they talk about when Mohinder is coming home, that they plan around each other? It's really very endearing, and I'm not shippy about Mylar yet so I can enjoy Mohinder with someone else. Besides, Mylar is a doomed relationship, right? So they'll both have to find their happiness with other people.
Sylar is great too. Despite not having any powers (really, what's up with that?), he remains creepy as hell. Especially about this new girl and her brother. I'm torn between whisking her away to safety and seeing what he's gonna do with her. How did that get to be sexy?
Plus, you can't beat the wet, shirtless Peter in the first episodes. Somebody's been working out! And that's all I have to say about that.
I'm also loving the show for some of the main reasons I love The Lord of the Rings: every day people discovering that they can be heroes. Realizing that there is good in the world and they can be part of that good. Yes, the choices are hard, but it's worth doing the right thing even at great personal loss. Then there is the theme of great friendship and undying loyalty, and you just can't beat those two things for great entertainment.
