Heroes shallowness and spoilers

[ria_oaks]

I've been hearing some negative opinion towards Heroes this season, but as with last season I'm totally enjoying it in spite of popular opinion. ^^ Oh show. Oh SYLAR. I wasn't a big Sylar fan in s1, but he grew on me in s2 (first there was the scruff, then there was the killing Alejandro. That pushed me over the edge...), and I love him now. Adored him last ep playing partner to Noah and being all awesomely sexy in his suit and slicked back hair playing the cop, and I just about had a heart attack this episode with the dorky smile and the glasses and the waffels and the APRON... and little Noah, which WOW how did that happen and I want to know who the mother is... (and what's the relationship between Sylar and HRG in this verse for him to name his son after him? Intriguing... I'd love to see more of them as partners of pure awesomeness). I'm trying to prevent myself from becoming a Sylar Redemptionista, but they're making it difficult, dammit. Not least because the entire thing is made even more awesome by his going totally apeshit and causing a huge explosion because his son died. But mostly I was just overcome with the urge to giggle insanely and go "awwwww!" and squee over him and Peter.

(which, Peter? Holy FUCK ya'll. With the having Sylar's power, and the killing his own brother. Both versions of Peter have killed a verison of Nathan now... yikes. He's going down a dark, dark path. There was speculation and discussion after the premiere about Peter and Sylar being set up as a classic "brothers facing off on two opposite sides" trope, and this episode definitely makes me wondering if that's going to happen but not quite as we were expecting.. well, either that or they'll join forces and be evil together. And does being evil together make it okay for them to have lots of hot incestuous sex? Cuz I'm just sayin'...)

(also, is it deeply, desperately wrong that I think I'm more fascinated by Peter/Sylar now that I know they're brothers? God please help me now... that family is so deepy fucked up. o.o Don't think I've forgotten Claire's little "I've always loved you" declaration to Peter, either - seems an odd thing to say to one's uncle as one kills him...)

And. Um. I have totally given up on having any pretence at deep thoughts for this show, haven't I? Because okay, yeah, it's not the greatest show in the world, but I don't even CARE anymore because it's so much fun. Same with how I feel about Prison Break... and Torchwood, for that matter. Though I love all three to death, and in spite of their problems I think all are pretty decent shows in their own rights.

Mostly right now though, really, I just want to go find some baddirtywrong Peter/Sylar fic, pref based on this episode (come on fandom, I know you can turn out fic that fast...). And then go to bed at some undetermined point, I suppose...

*a few minutes later* My point is proved. (haven't read it yet, so can't attest to its quality, but am about to read it. And it's the point that counts, anyway. ^_^)

Also, I need a Sylar icon based on this episode. Come on fandom, supply me! ...or well, I might transfer the ep from my TiVo and cap it myself for the icon. We'll see... Need to change icons anyway - have had this one since May. At the least, I need a new Tony icon. o.o

Hmm, okay, maybe that would be better then? It looks slightly less cheesy, at any rate.

As for weekends off … I have next Friday! After that, I don't know. Need to write down my schedule… This weekend doesn't work. I'm doing evening shifts both days. Let me know if Friday works, and if I doesn't, I'll suggest other things. ;)
