Heroes 2x02 - "Lizards"

[bagheera_san]

1. For some reason, I can't help to think of the Bennet's storyline as "Claire Bennet moves to Sunnydale and is stalked by Superboy". Also: she cut her toe off. WTF. And Superstalker is my prime suspect for Kaito Nakamura's murder.

2. Mohinder is still hot. Especially when he sweats. I loved the Haiti setting: one of the really awesome things about Heroes is how they keep globetrotting and using different locations. And the Haitian is back with Bennet! Whee!

3. Hiro's storyline continues to make me gleeful, because it is such a fairytale/comicbook story. The cherryblossoms! You see, SV is cute because it's corny, but Heroes is awesome, because it's intentionally and skillfully corny. Also: Kensei is a Highlander immortal. At least until canon contradicts me :D (Come on. He's a gaijin with a sword in a historical setting who can heal from mortal injuries. If that's not Highlander, I don't know what it is.)

4. God, am I ever not interested in Maya and Alejandro. So she has black oil from X-Files and he stole Peter's hair. Who cares?*yawn*

5. Peter's short hair is no improvement, but his shirtlessness and bloodiness was. Nathan's beard looks so fake that I'm going to be disappointed if he doesn't take it off in some future episode. It's also extremely unbecoming.

6. Mr. Bennet continues to rock.

My opinions are also extremely similar, bar the Highlander reference as I didn't follow that series. Also I love the Japanese stuff as it's like the lighter moments of Zhang Yimou's wuxia.

Mohinder should always wear white, but I do wish he'd shave more. Noah continues to be wonderful, and Mr Muggles had a moment! Well, more than one moment actually.

Maya and Alejandro are the Niki and DL of this season. My attention goes wandering every time they're on screen.

My main problem with the episode was that, both times I watched it, the ending caught me by surprise. It just kind of stops. Well, that and the toe thing which made my eyes cross. :)

Yes, I prefer him cleanshaven, too *g*

The same here - although I much prefer Niki and DL.

I covered my ears because I was afraid the toe would make a horrible crunching sound when she cut it off!
