I have this fascination with killers who have a soft spot for certain women and will actually kill for them. [Like Hannibal/Clarice!] It's not that I think it's romantic because, really, it's majorly scary and creepy but also, in a very twisted way, kind of sweet. But terrifying. [I mean, picture Hannibal cutting open a man's head and feeding him his own brains. That's just...*shudders* GAH!]
And yet I cannot get into Damon/Elena. She just is not cool enough to be worthy of his protective killing instincts, damn it. I'd be all right with him and Bonnie if he hadn't, y'know, tried to KILL HER ALREADY. Meh, it's okay, this can be the one show I watch without a ship, just 'coz he's super hot and funny. :D
it's not that I'm ENTIRELY against the pairing (wait, I am), I just hate CLAIRE. I wouldn't pair her with a TOOTHPICK.
Lol! I'm glad I don't fangirl her or I'd be CRUSHED at this outpouring of disdain for her! TBH, I like the dynamics between her and Sylar more than I actually like the notion of them together. It's the psychology of it all that intrigues me.
With him and Elle, she accepted him, they were similar kinds of crazy, she understood him, right? It's an untraditional kind of romance, but still romantic. Whereas with Claire, she hates him, she'll try to cripple him so she can run away before he heals and comes after her, she'll always defy him and meanwhile, he wants to dominate her, and break her and I just find that- fascinating. :P
So I guess it's less shipping and more...IDEK. My brain confuses me, lol.
I like that Noah is such a realist, he knows how screwed up everything is, and yet he's still there, fighting to make the world fit into his plans, no matter how terrible and difficult and painful it all is. And as you pointed out, with no abilities whatsoever! That, to me, demonstrates more strength than Peter and Hiro and almost everyone else put together.
They have this blind optimism and idiotic recklessness [GRYFFINDORS *snorts*] that sends them plunging into dangerous situations without thinking and often end up making things worse, but Noah plans and schemes and he's aware of the risks he's taking and how little power he has in the big picture but goes ahead and manages it against ridiculous odds anyway. I love that about him.
Do I wish he had awesome powers? Sure, 'coz that'd be neat. But it wouldn't really be Noah, because the way he compensates for that disadvantage is amazing to watch. The man may not have the Specials' brawn, but he makes up for it with his brains.
PS. Have you seen all the eps so far? I just watched The Wall *beats Peter senseless for being so stupid* and there was this cute Sylar moment that just...I don't know WHY it's so cute but anyway...yes, have you seen it?
