mimesereOH NATHAN, HOW ARE YOU SO AWESOME?
First: I am not going to talk about Eccleston as I have Who-issues and also he didn't do much but be manic and greasy. So, you know, whatever.
That said!
OMG NATHAN HOW ARE YOU SO FUCKING AWESOME? I *love* Nathan Petrelli. Love him love him love him. I love his shadiness and his love for his family and his inability to be a dark, shady motherfucker around Hiro, and that weirdly menacing I Totally Bet He'll Put A Cap In Peter To Save The World Holy Crap I Love Him SO Much Because Nathan Is Awesome moment in front of the burning man painting. I. LOVE. Him. I did not expect to love Nathan *this* much when I first started watching the show because he is shady like a mofo and also Adrian Pasdar who will always and forever come off a little bit crazy to me (oh, Profit. Oh...show where he was a miracle debunker), but I do! I love how *complicated* he is and how practical and how...cranky. I know, I know, it is a shock that I love me some cranky pragmatic capable hotness, but we all have our crosses to bear.
And I love BEYOND WORDS how Nathan and Hiro are together. I love how unflagging Hiro's enthusiasm is and I love how Nathan is charmed by Hiro despite himself. I love that Hiro *knows to tone it down* and that he does and yet he still goes "Whoosh!" I love that Nathan can't be closed off and cold around Hiro. I LOVE THAT HIRO IS THE GUY NATHAN ACTUALLY ASKS TO EXPLAIN THINGS. LOVE! I just. Dude. Dude! *flail* And I loved the whole exchange about language. God, I just *love* them. If Hiro and Ando weren't so totally married, I would *completely* be 'shipping Hiro/Nathan.
Which brings us to Hiro (and his hetero lifemate, Ando). Um. Oh, boo. Other than the scene with Nathan (and I sekritly believe that Nathan will always be a favorite of Hiro's because HE CAN FLY. Up, up, and away! EEEEE!), mostly what I loved was Hiro's dejected little shoulders as he returned the sword to the museum. Awww, Hiro! Oh, oh, I also adored his "I look like the drawings! Except my face is not so round."
And yo, Simone. Okay, I *like* her. She was mostly useless for 10 eps and then she did awesomeness with the support and enabling of Peter in "Homecoming", and then she just *rolled* with the crazy. Yay Simone! And she was totally all, "Yeah, let's go get your sword, boo." She is totally gonna be a Lois or Alfred or such to the Heroes and that makes me happy. Unless she dies, in which case I shall be sad.
Isaac was hot, Mohinder was hot even in that so-hideous-it-almost-circled-back-to-cool shiirt, DL/Niki/Jessica/Micah is the family unit of awesome, Clea Duvall was smoking hot, Grunberg was Grunbergalicious, and dude, seriously, how amazingly hot was Stacey Haiduk?
Claire was...Claire. And determined and lonely and proactive and awesome and *fierce* in her own way. I love her too! I love that she told Gay Zach again. I love that she wants that friendship badly enough. And *holy fuck*, I love that she's meeting with the Haitian. Also, I love the Haitian, 'cause *goddamn*.
I *love* this show. Even when it is not a tightly plotted as it can be ("Godsend" is no "Fallout" or "Homecoming"), the whole show is built on this increadily rock solid layer of character moments that make it all okay. EEEEE! My show! My show! It loves me!
I use my Peter icon until I can come up with a Nathan icon I love.
