onomatopoetryLet's see... I am liking Claire. She has learned to deal, and although I am sad that they used Gretchen as a contrast (I liked her, and I am sad to see her leave), I am glad that she didn't whine and was much more faceted than DarkhairedBitchyFuture!Claire (has Panettiere taken acting classes?), who frankly sucked. Also: how she stalled Samuel until Noah could come back, and then shot "You seem to enjoy talking." Because really, he's all mouth, Samuel, and it was nice to have someone, esp. Claire, call him on it. I enjoy her thinking on her feet. But Noah being tough on Samuel and then going after him is all going to be very enjoyable.
But yes, I am sad to see Gretchen go, not just because of the brill hair and lesbianism, but because she was a nice, almost normal (college girl, former bulimic, with an unfortunate crush and no history of world-saving) character among a bunch of really messed up ones, and because with her gone, do we have any active, good characters without abilities? Noah is obv. grayscale here.
Peter is boring, obv. Come one, how hard is it for him to see that he's taking his own energy to heal? He has got a telekinetic nosebleed once, no? But then again, he is really dumb. Emma is lovely and pointless, still, but the tiara piano scene was so adorable. Moving on!
Matt had a smart. What? Ok, I don't like Matt, I have never really seen the point of Matt, and I kind of wonder how he ever survived for as long as he has. But I enjoyed this; I enjoyed Sylar being undermined and coming off as crazy, I loved him holding the world hostage (although head!Sylar delivers his lines in a really almost deliberately cheesy way, more so than even s3 Sylar, which makes me wonder if there's a plot point to it), and I liked it when Matt had enough balls to die to rid the world of Sylar.
Gabriel!Nathan is now fakeNathan again? Boo. I'd like to see him in a flux, I guess, and would have enjoyed Claire's reaction to blank/Nathan-personed Sylarface. Or Hiro's for that matter. I am not just saying this because I want more Zachary Quinto and less Adrian Pascar (although that is true, too), I'd just like someone to stay dead for once. But fluxy NathanGabriel would be cool too (although knowing what's up, that won't happen.)
Is it just more or is Peter's floppy hair coming back? if so, if NathanGabriel in Sylar-form comes back, I might die from hairflop. BEST WAY TO DIE EVER.
