Woah, Heroes man.
Death toll (reprise):
Linderman--I know, WHAT?!
Thompson--Bennett's "old friend," the smug bastard asshole.
Ted Sprague--killed by Sylar. We. Are. Fucked.
And you know, I think there were others, but I'm completely blanking.
In any event, DL got shot just before he fucking ripped Linderman's brain out (teach you to mess with Nikki/Jessica and DL where Micah is concerned), and was bleeding to death last we saw him, but he did pop up in the previews.
Likewise, Matt was knocked out in this episode, but looked like he'd been shot and was dying in the previews.
Peter can control the nuclear ability, and he's got better mastery of his power than ever.
Matt, Bennett, Nikki, and DL allied for a short time to get up Linderman's building, then went there separate ways. Bennett and Matt faced off with Mohinder when they discovered that the "tracking system" is little Molly. Bennett wasn't too happy about that, and Mohinder and Bennett are currently pointing guns at each other. Mohinder managed to knock out Matt. Wonder how this one's gonna end up...
Micah did indeed rig the voting system--sorry, Hana, all that hard work for nothing--and Petrelli won--landslide. Hiro wasn't too happy. He went to inform Nathan about the bomb and the future, but Nathan turned him away. Not that I can entirely blame him. Linderman is an expert at knowing how to manipulate people. He healed Nathan's wife, which pretty much put Nathan in his pocket (though I wonder what happens now that Linderman's dead?). It's also how he got Micah to do his thing, by saying he'd give his family enough money to live very comfortably.
Ted was captured by the FBI (dipshits) and subsequently caught and killed by Sylar. Sylar was actually the one who tipped off the FBI. Poor Audrey (FBI lady) must be feeling terrible.
Peter is currently with Claire and they're attempting to flee, but they just saw the crash and Ted dead, so that put a damper on their plans. Sylar is ready and willing to go boom, as soon as he gets Claire's ability.
Hiro and Ando went to a sword shop to get it fixed and met Hiro's dad. Ando wasn't too happy. Hiro's dad, instead of being all "go home and be a CEO guy!" or "listen to Linderman/Company!" he decided to teach Hiro kendo so that Hiro could go kill Sylar. Does this mean that Hiro Daddy is going against the plans of the Company and...company? In any case, during that all, Ando took a sword and slipped out, and is heading off to kill Sylar on his own. Dammit.
Pretty much, it's all going to hell. We've got one more episode, and it looks like we're finally going to have a fight between Peter and Sylar. But that means that both of them can become the bomb. For now it looks like Peter has decent control, but who knows what could happen if he got into a serious fight?
There's also the problem of Little Molly, Mohinder, and everyone else who is potentially going to die/is dying. It's all coming to a head now, innit?
Well, I'm in Chicago (or rather, the suburbs), and despite pain, bloody noses, heat and more pain, it's been really nice. I've discovered that a 12 hour drive passes pretty quickly when you're listening to Harry Potter on tape (I officially recommend books on tape for long drives). I also managed to sleep some. Yesterday we went to the local lake to go canoing, and we also checked out the local mall, which was awesome. It had a Rainforest Cafe, which I've never heard of before, and a store called Black Market Minerals, which sold stones and wooden wind chimes and crystal things and mineral type things. Very nice. I got some kind of...Indian river rock which is sacred to Shiva, and is pretty much a smaller version of the stones in the Temple of Doom. Also got a bit of agate like another stone I've got at home, which has very close veins (or whatever you call them), a worry stone (Flourite, for mental calmness), and a malachite bowl that looks suspiciously like the Kouki wine cup from Mushishi. Also got to meet Claire, Molly's friend.
Today we went to Chicago, first to Millennium Park, then we tooled around for awhile in the heat and sun until we went to a very, very awesome pizza place where I had deep-dish pizza for the first time. After that we went to the Art Institute, where I saw many beautiful, famous paintings, and some puzzling, famous paintings, and SWORDS and ARMOR. I now officially know what a real glaive looks like, and the difference between a halberd and a spear. Wooo!! I'm sorry, Julie, I tried to get pics or postcards for you, but there was no photography allowed and they didn't have any postcards. Blasphemy!! I wish you could have been there.
Molly's cousin Kelly and her friend were here as well, and they're good people.
Also am about halfway through Trickster's Choice, and I officially LOVE Nawat because he is adorable and oblivious and awesome. Aly is the coolest thing too.
I'm thoroughly tired. Dunno what we're doing tomorrow, though it's supposed to thunder. Woot! We're also gonna meet Molly's friend, Whitney.
In terms of writing, I haven't gotten anything done due to--yanno--12 hour drive, tooling around Chicago, being exhausted for the better part of three days (the Red Eyed Monster will do that to you). But I've been thinking more about Spirits/North and have some general ideas for how spirits function and the difference between insubstantials, gods, imaginaries, spirits, animal spirits, and other such declinations of spirity-types (all of whom are called Folk).
I've also decided to do the 100 Theme Challenge, which is supposed to be for fanfic, but which I suppose I'll just post here. Don't know when I'll start it, hopefully soon. Don't know what characters I'll use, either. Maybe I can switch off...or maybe I can just stick to one world. So, there's that project for the summer, in case I get nothing done on the other projects.
I've also decided to start posting more excerpts here. Figure I might as well.
It's gonna be a busy next few weeks. As soon as I get back to Cali, I'm off to Mono Lake with my parents for a photography talk and for birding and astronomy. Then I'm pretty much looking for a job until the 24th, when I'll head back to Syracuse, get a ride to Fabius, and go to Lisa's wedding. Then I come back that Sunday, probably look for more jobs, and hopefully start one (fat chance). I've applied to Borders and will be applying to a bunch of other places. I really need a job this summer. Guh.
Well, that's the news from Lake Country. Julie, I hope you're alive and got home alright and that you saw Heroes! Sending you all my love. ^.^
