timepiececlockCatching up on my TV now that I'm back home.
I think its pretty cool that Takeo Kensei is apparently living forever-- I admit I didn't see it coming that he would be "Adam". I wonder if he's the Petrelli's great(x10) grandfather or granduncle, given the similarity between his ability and Claire's. But as neat as that idea is, I hope he's not doing this because he still hates Hiro Nakamura. I mean, that would be pretty pathetic-- you are an indestructible human who has the benefit and experience of living for centuries, and you're STILL mad about some guy that stole your lover 4 centuries ago? Who would believe that? I would think that if wisdom and experience doesn't kill that old anger, then simple boredom would. It's not like Hiro killed his mother, and that's about the only thing I can think of that's worth all this conspiracy so many centuries later. Hopefully Adam's major goals are centered around his personal ideals and agendas, and not just around making Hiro suffer.
It sucks that the Irish girl got left in the future. How does that paradox work? If they stop the virus, then does she reappear back in Ireland, or does she cease to exist?
Robin Hood: 1x01-1x04
This is cute. I don't have much to say beyond that. It goes for a bit of drama and succeeds moderately at achieving it, but the show can't really reach any depth because it's too busy being likeable... not unlike Robin himself. Nevertheless, it IS likeable and I do like it.
I know I've got a season and a half to go, but I have a secret hope that if they ever do an episode about Robin attending jousts, that they will borrow a bit from the novel Ivanhoe, of which Robin Hood was a supporting character. I would particularly love to see Rebecca on screen. I can easily imagine it being made into a two-parter; the first with the jousting celebration and the highway kidnapping, and the second half with Robin leading the castle raid and the huge battle.
Somehow, though, while I've no doubt the jousting and disguises will come into play, Ivanhoe and Rebecca probably won't be in it.
