Shades of Gray

Behind the cut-tag: not-very-plotty, but nonetheless spoilery, reactions to Heroes 1.21, "The Hard Part".

*FLAIL*

How. Just. How does this show get me one week muttering "He's got to die. He's got to die" and the very next week get me whimpering "...oh, Gabriel" and wanting to hug him.

HOW I ASK YOU.



[Edited to add: Just to clarify? This does not mean I have changed my mind on the whole He's Got To Die issue. Even temporarily. Just ... there was simultaneous pity. Rather a lot of it.]



Further reactions as I regain coherency.

By showing scenes of his mother damaging his woobie soul by being unsupportive instead of scenes of him placidly murdering innocents? That's my guess, anyway.

That was my thought too.

I blame Quinto.

Also a factor.

Instant Woobie: Just Add (Crazy) Mother!

I also blame Zach Quinto. He's really amazing. Though is it strange that I find Sylar 10 times creepier in Gabriel Gray mode?

We'll probably be on the phone before you actually see this comment, but...CALLED IT. Ando is the Wally. \o/
