Hamburger and Pizza Construction?

Today in math class, we discussed very important topics...such as the delicate and important construction of hamburgers and of pizzas.

(Not that we're wasting time or anything.)

Apparently it matters if the hamburger meat is placed in the middle, on the bottom, or on the top. I assume the planet would explode if your lettuce was on the bottom. Or if tomato sauce were put with pineapple on a pizza.

Last week it was dice. The week before it was cards. This week it's burgers and pizza. And I still do not care.

(I probably won't care next week, either.)

This may be a math class, but at least half of the class aren't paying attention to him anymore, not even when the prof couldn't sort out what was a condiment and what wasn't (everything but the meat, apparently.)Some guy was playing golf on his calculator through the entire class today. I was writing.

(Screw it. I hardly eat meat anyway, and don't care one way or the other if my pizza or burger has this thing or that thing.)

That was my day...and now, I'm going to go into Heroes stuff. If you hate/don't watch Heroes, shame on you. If you have but didn't know it was on, go watch it online. And if you have, then you can either read my ramblings or just stop reading here.



SPOILERS BAR. Once beyond this point, you are on your own. Don't come crying to me if I ruin it for you...


A. Mohinder Goes Stupid
I hope the creator of this show realizes that his most brilliant character just had a severe and possibly fatal attack of the stupids.

Now, Mohinder's a bright guy, probably the smartest character on Heroes (and there are a lot of smart people, so you know he's good). Usually Mo is level-headed and rather reserved.

SO WHY in the name of Parvati did Mohinder NOT realize that giving himself an injection of an untested gene-altering solution would BACKFIRE?

Has no one read Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?

How many, many movies and shows are there out there where the scientist goes all "Wow, I've found the solution to, the cure for, the amazing discovery that would make me be able to shoot grapes from my eyes"...and the dummy goes and gives himself the formula, despite warnings that it could GO WRONG?

Then the scientist turns into a freakish mutation, a tree, a man with a couple extra appendages...and then everyone else goes after him because he's a bad guy, and then they kill him.

Well, Mo went against Maya's warnings. All he could think about was having what everyone else had and he didn't. He went running down to the docks. He injected himself with the untested formula and BANGO! He bent a gun into a pretzel.

That was all fine and dandy, but then Mo's hanging off the ceiling and THEN, he's got sticky cornflake scales coming off of his back. So much for scientific discovery...Mohinder is going to be in the tank with Mohinder the iguana by next week.

Stupid man. Didn't he ever hear the line: With great power comes great responsibility, the ability to affect great consequences...and an affinity for flies?

B.Nathan goes looney tunes

Last year, Nathan was shot. The year before, Nathan was burned.

Nathan has survived yet another major accident, probably because Pete loves him so much that he keeps on saving him (or coming four years back in time to shoot him so that he shuts up. Apparently it works both ways)

So, what does crazy Nathan do, once he's alive again and such, but go into the chapel next door and go off on a spiel about God, a topic he scoffed mightily at back when he was a senatorial candidate?

Nathan's gotten religion, despite his former affair with Claire's mother, his affair with Nicki, leaving his wife and two kids far behind, cheating to get the senatorial vote, and being mean to his mom?

I guess anyone can be redeemed, but Nathan is acting more like his brother Pete these days and it doesn't suit him. Nate's the jerk, the overachiever, the one who'll do anything to get what he wants even if it means stepping on people's faces to get there. He has a nice side, but it's a lot less obvious than Pete's. Nate can be a total asshole...and there he is, on his knees, praying.

On another front, Linderman is hanging around (despite being DEAD) and keeping Nathan company. Problem is, Linderman is DEAD and no one else can apparently see him. Either Nathan has had a psychotic breakdown or he's the only one who can see Linderman, possibly because Linderman has lingered after death and can choose who he wants to see him.

C. Nicki, Jessica, Tracey?

There once was a character named Nicki. She was nice.

She had an alter-ego named Jessica. Who was a bitch.

But Nicki and Jessica have gone off somewhere, leaving this third person named Tracey. But Tracey has no memory of what the hell happened last year (Nicki/Jessica got blown up).

But Tracey has earned the name of the Ice Queen, thanks to a reporter bugging her about being Nicki/Jess, making her mad, thus making her grab his arm and freeze him so much that he blew apart. Little frozen chunks of reporter all over the parking garage.

Whoops.

I have the feeling Tracey is a third sister that no one knew about. It would explain the massive memory loss (she wouldn't have lost it if it never happened to her) and it would explain the sudden alteration of her powers (she didn't know she had them but she had something else to begin with)

Otherwise, Nicki/Jess was rescued from the fire and as a result of contact with that much heat, her powers altered and she lost her memory.

D. Sylar's REAL mom.

A while back, Sylar went to visit his mum in NYC. It was a touching reunion. She made him a sandwich. He gave her a snow globe.

Then things got ugly and good ol' Mum wound up getting fatally stabbed with a pair of scissors. Her son did a creepy painting in Mummy's blood and split the premises.

BUT NOW, it appears that Virginia Gray wasn't Sylar's mum after all, and that someone else was his real mummy. Angela Petrelli.

I'd be willing to believe this little theory. Here's a couple scenarios:

1. Gabriel is born, but the kid doesn't seem to manifest any powers. Angela is told by her Company mates that the kid must go. They give him away or kidnap him from Angela and give him away (though why keep the kid in the same city? Angela must have known where he was.)

2. Gabriel manifests powers, but they are considered so dangerous that he'd be a threat to anyone else with powers, so they give him away.

3. Gabriel manifests powers that are dangerous and he's been given away. When Chandra comes knocking around saying he might have powers, Gabe's all excited.

But the Company, knowing Gabriel's undiscovered and possibly unbridled penchant for evil, tell Chandra to tell Gabriel that there's nothing there and that he doesn't have a power after all to throw him off the scent (this backfires, of course.)

4. Gabriel is the son of Angela Petrelli and Adam Monroe. When Adam goes for the virus formula, they realize how potentially dangerous the kid could be, have the Haitian wipe his memories, and give him to someone else to raise.

That's about it for my theorizing. If you think something different, comment and be nice about it. I can and will erase your comment if I think it's nasty.

Ta,
