I Wish I Could Give You More, But This is All That I Am

[fangirljen]

I've been kind of pampering myself as of late. I'm getting more sleep, I'm taking better care of my body (maybe not with the kinds of foods, but definitely with how much food I consume; and I want to start a better skin care regiment)...okay, but focus on the positive, right? :) When I was in San Francisco last week, iamradar pointed me out to Lush. OH DEAR GOD! This place! It would only be better if it had bath salts. I bought so many bath bombs. And they are fun! I don't throw them in the water, but I shave some of it off and throw it in the bath. What I get is silky scented water with bubbles. Feels really good. :D I've been trying to walk more. I walked about two miles today. It definitely is not as bad as I thought it would be. I am going to attempt to walk every day.

I've been reading Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth and Julia Cameron's The Writing Diet: Write Yourself Right-Size. Both have been very influential. I'm feeling somewhat grounded. I'm letting go of my insecure feelings. I would go into it more, but I'm tired right now. I've been up for twelve hours and feel really taxed.

But I wanted to get in some of my thoughts on the newest episode of Heroes...

I actually liked the goodbye scene. I'm surprised about this. I wonder if I would like it if I didn't know that there is a window of opportunity there for Nathan to come back. That's what Adrian said. It's not just me dreaming. *laughs* But I'm satisfied. If he comes back, great, if not, that's okay too. It's all of because that scene and what Nathan tells Peter. I'm glad that they got the scene they couldn't get when Nathan died at the end of last season.

I feel like I'm doing my own little spread that Peter had going and now Bennet has going. I have this virtual corkboard in my head where I have pinned up bits of information that indicate Nathan could come back.

And now there is this survey. I don't think very much of Kristin, but I kind of like how she's thinking here. It couldn't hurt, especially if that is what Kring and co is wanting to gauge. It's kind of insidious. I mean, they knew a lot of fans would react. I'll be hopeful, but I won't be holding my breath. But I think I can enjoy the show even if he's not there. I'll just miss some of the depth. That's what fanfic is for! :D :D

Re: the survey - I'm so proud of us Pasdar fans pushing the 'no's to 44%. It was trailing behind the 'yes's when I voted last night. :D Poor Momo, though.

I've realised that without Adrian in it, I'm a lot less emotion involved with the show, which is probably a good thing, really. Still, I'm already working on'Nathan rises from the dead!' fic.

You heard about Sendhil going to another series? I spoke to an actress friend of mine who says the likelihood of it being picked up is really great. So, I'm thinking, he can't do two series. This one is on NBC, too. And while I like Mohinder, I'm kind of hoping that Sendhil does indeed leave Heroes for this new show. Oh, and this new series? It's filming this Saturday in downtown LA. David Tennant, Jeffrey Tambor, and Jane Curtain are all in it too. So, hoping, hoping, hoping.

So maybe Mohinder is the one who really dies. That would fit with what Greg and Masi said. I'm not truly in denial here. I mean, Greg EXPLICITLY said "The Petrelli brothers are okay. Nathan is a red herring." I don't believe that Greg is a liar, too.

I did hear about his new show, and I didn't really make the connection between that and what Greg said. Interesting. It looks like they might be gearing up to get rid of Mohinder, they're certainly at a loss at what to do with his character now.

I'm pretty excited about this new show, too - I don't like Tennant much, but Tambor is ♥.

Should it turn out that Adrian was a red herring, I'll just have to play catch up on everything I've missed. Until then, I'll probably stick with House.

Mohinder on the new David Tennant show... OMG I was already planning to watch that. I would love to see him there.

"The Writing Diet" I'm going to have to drop by a bookstore and see if I can find it.

I LOVE Lush!! Most of their products don't have animal products in them, and none of them are tested on animals. I use the Rehab shampoo, and it's great! I do want to try a bath bomb though.

52% of 'No's! That's amazing, I'm so glad we now have statistical backup. XD 'Cause if you asked the writers, they always feed the same old (untrue) "The fans want us to kill off characters for good, then they're upset, so we can't win." BAWWWWWW. Wrong! We don't want them to kill ANY character just for the sake of it - what? Do they think we're bloodthirsty morons who can't tell good stories from unmotivated ones? Jfc... This number makes me happy. I hope they see it and feel ~oppressed omgz~!

Absolutely crossing fingers for the tiny loophole. The final numbers show that 52% hated the fact that Nathan was gone. I want Nathan back eventhough the goodbye scene was so beautiful. That was Emmy worthy.

There is a point where you just have to say, 'Enough.'

If this was his first time dying, I would say bring him back. I would even be sad. But I'm getting tired of them killing Nathan off every season in some form and then bringing him back. It's old hat, sort of like an 'They killed Kenny!' joke, and I don't want him to become that.

His is one of the rare deaths I'll respect. It isn't that I don't want him back, I do. I love Nathan and Adrian and they're both wonderful. But if they keep doing this, it's going to get tiring, you know?

I'll miss him, I know I will. That scene tore my heart. I'm not sure I like that Mohinder is the least cared-about character, it seems from that survey, but hey, he's kind of running out of story unless they do something.
