Oh Noes what's happening in Heroes?!?!?!
Ok... before I go all thinky and verbose over yesterday's Heroes episode, I just want to say that I LOVE Sheldon from Big Bang Theory! He is SO adorably socially-challenged!
Now for Heroes. I really loved some parts of Episode 4. But some parts have such foreboding for future episodes that I am... a little scared and nervous about what is going to happen to my Precious Peter (and some other characters).
Things I liked:
1. Two Peters on screen at the same time!
*nosebleed* Haha. So super cool. And, haha. Milo had to go shirtless again in this episode. The writer's can't resist writing scenes where he has to be shirtless. :p I'm not complaining...
2. Matt and Daphne and Molly and new baby!
I thought this happy little family scenario was cute. Though it seems like Matt is WAAAY older than Daphne, I really liked their relationship and I really believed it. She's so spunky - even though she's supposedly "one of them" right now, I'm really liking her and she's definitely not evil, just misguided. Molly! Adorable. New baby! Super adorable. I liked their conversations... and the wordplay about her ability... that she needs to "slow down" and... at the end... that she "wasn't fast enough". I'm completely sold on this story line. More more more!
3. Hiro and Ando
I like how Hiro realised that he needed Ando's help and has only gotten this far with Ando's help. I like that Ando defended Hiro in front of manipulative Mama Petrelli (though Hiro deserved some scolding lah - he basically single-handedly delivered the formula into the enemy's hands).
Oh man I can't wait to find out why Sylar named his son after Mr Bennett and why he's living in Mr Bennett's house. And who's the mother?! (some ppl are speculating that it's Elle... hmm). It's kinda surreal, and I think they are redeeming him way too much, but I really enjoyed the sweet scenes between Sylar and Noah. And also, Sylar feeding Mr Muggles~! Ahaha adorable. Little Noah is a cutie!
Awww superman! Haha. I really like these two together. Tracy is more compelling a character than Nikki and the two of them have amazing chemistry together. Can't wait to see more!
Things I am torn about/don't like:
1. The revelation that Sylar was only evil coz of his power
I think this is a big cop out - too easy a way to redeem him. I can deal with the fact that they wanted to redeem him (and would've eventually redeemed him) coz Zachary Quinto is an amazing actor and coz Sylar has legions and legions of fans... but if this is completely true it implies that Peter, who is the heart of the show, who is the show's moral compass, can become as completely corrupted as Sylar. Which, in my heart of hearts I believe can never be true. It implies that essentially, Peter and Sylar are the same. This cannot be! Sylar's behaviour had to also be influenced by his own need to be SpEcIaL and also his general temperament which is obviously darker than Peter.
2. Peter slicing Nathan's head open
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. How is this even possible lah, tell me? The season 1 finale was centered around the bond between Peter and Nathan. I can conceive future Peter shooting Nathan... but I cannot conceive that present Peter would ever go as far as that. I know they are trying to show that Sylar's power comes with a "hunger that cannot be controlled"...... but still! Going way too far to prove their point man. Way too far. What are they doing to my poor Peter? Character assassination to the max!
I am so so worried for Peter right now. How is he going to deal with this "hunger"? OMG I hate that word already. GAH.
Okay. The negativity shall end here!
Just another comment.
MOOOOOHAHA Mohinder = Lizard! No longer pretty! Pretty scaly though. MOOHAHAHA.
No pic of Mo coz that's just gross!
Nite nite. :)

Two blog posts in two days?
Whoa, I have no life.
Anyways, I figured that since tomorrow I"ll be getting my weekly Heroes fix, it would be good to post up a few random thoughts about Heroes S03E03, namely:
OMG Mama Petrelli is EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sylar: "What's she going to do to me?"
Mama Petrelli: *paws creepily at her beloved son and whispers* "Feed you."
BWAT?!?! o.O
Speechless I am.
Anyway, I feel a little guilty about this, but I admit that I really really enjoyed the scenes where Sylar and HRG (I love HRG and his morally grey code!) were working together. Kick Ass man! But Sylar is far from redeemable... far far from it, as evidenced by the early departure of Sound-Wave-Dude! Waaa poor poor Francis Capra... he was in... two episodes? Haha. Better than none I guess.
Am loving Matt in Africa. Love the new African dude... he's so mysterious and calm and cooool.
Peter's back! Yaay yaay yaay! How cute was it that he was trying his best to convince the cold blooded villains that they "don't have to do this"? Heehee. So so cute and hopeful and cute and adorable. Okay okay I stop gushing now. And... "we can come back at night, when there are no people". *LOL*
And the icing on the cake was that Stupid Mohinder and Stupid Maya didn't appear at all!
Moohaha.
Can't wait for the next episode,
where Future and Present Peter travel to the dark gloomy future... together!
Two Peters on the screen at the same time?!
*hyperventilates*

Say What?
Wordle!!!
OMG I'm so sad that my Five-Day-Holiday is now coming to an end! In less than 12 hours I will be back to work, slugging away hour after hour. *whine whine whine*
So, today, coz I am Bo-Liao, and I like pretty things, and I like words, I spent hours in front of the comp making little word clouds using
Wordle: *Clicky*. It's really simple... just enter a cluster of words... and they generate little word clouds in various pretty colours, pretty fonts and pretty arrangements.
They're so pretty! Look at mine!
I crave for...
