By Erin | Season 1 | Episode 5 | Aired on 2006.10.23
Back with Peter and Mohinder, Peter's trying to explain about FutureHiro, but Mohinder, who up until now had been running all over the place acting about three shades of batshit himself, suddenly doesn't believe anything coming out of Peter's mouth. Peter yammers on about what FutureHiro said and that they can stop what's going to happen, but first they have to -- and here, Peter kind of giggles to himself because man, this is some stupid-sounding shit -- save the cheerleader. Mohinder giggles too and delivers a gorgeous smile to boot. I've just now realized why I like this show: hot guys who are superheroes. Not for nothing have I seen all three X-Men movies. That's right. Even the third one. Dudes. Two words: Hugh. Fucking. Jackman. I don't care that his sideburns are threatening to canvas the land, that guy is HOT and he kills people with his knuckle knives. How awesome is that shit?
Peter tries to convince Mohinder that they have to go back and see Isaac. He swears that, if the answer isn't at the loft, he'll personally drive Mohinder to the airport himself. Mohinder's all, uh, sure. How 'bout you FLY me there instead. Peter's all, duuuuude. That's cold. Let's go see Isaac! Maybe he has some heroin-flavored party favors or something! If nothing else, there'll be THREE hot guys who are superheroes in one room so at least we know we'll be making SOMEONE pretty damn happy! Mohinder just says that there are no answers and that Peter should just go home. He leaves and Peter and his floppy bangs mournfully look out the window in search of more hot guys who are superheroes.
Parkman's House of Bitchy-Yet-Concerned Wives. Oh, good. We're on to my least favorite story of the night. And I loves me some Greg Grunberg, y'all. I just don't care about this story. Mrs. Parkman's in the kitchen, shrieking at someone from the police station on the phone. Apparently, Matt went out on assignment and hasn't checked in since. So she's yelling into the phone and then sheâ¦walks out into the living room and Matt has magically appeared on the sofa. Mrs. Matt looks surprised to see him, as if he hasn't been there all along. Even though, as far as I can tell, Matt looks to be extremely hungover and seems to have been dropped onto the sofa from the sky. I don'tâ¦get it? Unless she never has to pass through the living room to get to the kitchen, I don't see how she couldn't have seen him lying there. I have no idea why this is bugging me so much, but it is, so shut up.
