grimorieNew job! Yay! I've been wanting to crossover from agency to client side for years and I finally did it! It's a smaller salary than my previous job but for the first time I'm actually enjoying my job! It's the same work load as PR but somehow I'm liking this more.

juxtoppozed wrote a very insightful interview of Steven De Knight, particularly loved his insights on Lois and how writing for Buffy taught him a lot about Character and Clarity.

This I haven't mentioned much but I have fallen in love with How I Met Your Mother, this is the new friends but better! Because who'd thought I'd love Neil Patrick Harris as Barney? Not me! But from the first moment on he's been wait for it... Legendary!

Okay, there are times when I have no idea what crack SV writers are smoking with the way they pull out their storylines and this is one of the times. I like their Lois portrayal, I like Chloe coming for her but what the hell was with the Magical One Perfect Tear??? I cringed at that and couldn't help but think how much all the Lois haters would tear this scene apart the only thing that saved it, barely was Lois' heartbroken reaction to Chloe's death.
And, please, Lana is not dead I have seen enough movies/TV shows to fall for that exploding car bit. If she's dead I'll eat my hat. But you know what's cool? Bizarro!Clark! Yay!

Okay, first of all, that was underwhelming. I'm an easy person to get swept away with all the cool bits, heck, from Mohinder's opening monologue and the incidental (?) music? AWESOME. But the showdown with Sylar and Peter exploding?
I was not at all surprised Nathan would come swooping in the last moment (literally it turned out) but talk about cheesy dialogue! I really wish they focused more on Nathan's moral struggle, it would have been so much better if they had.

Things I liked:
- Niki backing up Peter, I can see why they'd hook-up they were hot for the five seconds they were there
- NOAH!
- Claire! From jumping through the window (ouch, BTW) to resolving to shoot Peter
- Molly and Micah! Future OTP!
- Parkman!
- Hiro and Ando are so BFFs forever!
- Claire and NOAH Bennet
- Hiro in 16th century Japan! Samurais are always AWESOME
Things I didn't:
- Nathan's redemption moment, it felt like it came out of the left field and OMG 'all you need is love' speech? I think I haven't written something that cheesy since I wrote Janeway/Chackotay fic --
....
moving on.
- They waste Shaft with that? C'mon dude! But Nice to see frosty ice queen Mama Petrelli!
- I like Sylar as a villain, he's very effective but I wished they'd kill him already, I think it'd be a bolder move. I think I've had it with charismatic fan favorite bad boys sometimes. Or maybe Sylar would work out in the end, maybe he'll become the Magneto of the Heroes verse.
- Did I mention the cheese?
