My mostly capslock impressions of the finale:
- DAMMIT SYLAR, MEHICO IS NOT IN SOUTH AMERICA
- HOLY SHIT MAMA PETRELLI IS HARDCORE FOR SO MANY REASONS
- GODDAMMIT EMO PETRELLI WHY ARE YOU SUCH A FUCKING MORON? SERIOUSLY HE HAS THE IQ OF FUCKING TOENAIL FUNGUS AND NEEDS TO DIE IN A FIRE
- Adam is taking unfair advantage; outsmarting Peter is like FloJo beating the winner of the Special Olympics "Spirit Award" in a footrace. D:
- HIRO AND FRYING MAN REUNITE :D
- ...FINALLY, IT ONLY TOOK LIKE THE VERBAL EQUIVALENT OF A CONCENTRATED NUCLEAR STRIKE TO GET PETER TO STOP BEING A FUCKING RETARDED ASSHAT
- HOLY SHIT, HIRO GOT HARDCORE...I like. He's that much closer to being badass soul-patch Hiro! :D
- OH MY GOD SMARMY PETRELLI HAS GOOD HAIR AGAIN, HALLELUJAH
And in the final moments of S2:
- WHAT, OH HOLY MOTHER OF FUCK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOES, SMARMY IS MAI LOLI
So they've killed off (?) Niki, Adam's six feet (or more) under, and Nathan has been shot (I don't think he'll be killed off, though maybe that's just wishful thinking because I want Adrian Pasdar tio continue to post stupid overly photoshopped YouTube videos of the Heroes cast being retarded). Also, what is the Pandora's Box they opened by trying to assassinate Nathan? Did they let some crazy superpowered assassin out of the Company prison? (And if so, seriously how many skeletons can the older generation have in its closet?) Was that Bennet-tan who did that, as a favor to the Company in exchange for not, y'know, killing his family? The Haitian? One assumes it's someone whose mind Parkman couldn't read, which basically leaves a fellow telepath or some kind of power nullifier like the Haitian.
Also, how awesome was Elle? Maya's still kinda boring, I'm sad she didn't die permanently. Mohinder at least got to spend the finale not being dumb as fuck (UNLIKE PETER). Sylar's got his powers back, woohoo! That means sexy fun brain-eating time next season! And Monica and Micah, who are the two from Niki's storyline I actually really liked, survived. (I think that was a good way for Niki to go, if she did...it was time, and she had a pretty awesome sendoff, with the kicking and pistol-whipping.) Poor Micah is an orphan now though, but that's okay because his grandmother is FRICKIN' UHURA.
...oh, also, what happened to Caitlin (a.k.a. Irish girl)? Y'know, Peter, if you're trying to save her, then maybe removing the future to which you took her from EXISTENCE is not the best way to go about this. I'm just sayin'.
....okay, now that all that incoherence is out of the way, back to paper-writing. I'm writing about the medieval perception of Gog and Magog, who Biblically are the peoples in the hordes of the Antichrist at the end times, and were traditionally thought in medieval times to have been sealed in the Caucasus by Alexander the Great behind the Gates of Alexander. Gog and Magog were associated with pretty much every vice, from incest to cannibalism to (obviously) being non-Christian, and were later identified with everyone from the Goths to the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. (My specific topic, though it keeps shifting in bits, is the way in which they were seen differently in England and Germany than in the rest of Europe, and the role geography plays in these perceptions.) So I was coming up with some paper titles, and figured I'd let y'all vote on which one is the best!
[Poll #1100591]
* Caveat: I will probably not actually name my paper this, as while my professor seems to enjoy my snarky in-class comments about Orlando Bloom's inability to grow chest hair or severed-head necrophilia (IT WAS RELEVANT TO CLASS DISCUSSION, HONEST), I'm not sure he'd appreciate Internet humor in the title of a seminar paper, especially since none of these titles are all that informative.

And I hope Smarmy Petrelli isn't dead either!

Also, have you seen the Pasdar's YouTube videos (http://www.youtube.com/user/buckshotwon)? They're kind of hilarious and dorky and stupid. XD

I think by Pandora's Box they meant like...now they got Mr. Superpowered Peter MAJORLY pissed off at them. Unfortunately, his powers are inversely proportional to his intelligence!
END SPOILERS
In Islam, Gog and Magog are cannibalistic midgets who reproduce like crazy rabbits on viagra and end up almost over running the earth :D

It is kind of interesting, though, when you have what is essentially the same, or at least interrelated, stories about G&Min the traditions of all three Peoples of the Book, and yet everyone seems to think it refers to each other. XD At least I'm writing on the identification of Gog and Magog by Christians with the Jews, and subsequently with the Turks (the Travels of Sir John Mandeville repeat the story that a fox will lead them out of the land, and he claims that supposedly the fox is Mohammed, who convinces the Jews of the lost ten tribes of Israel to convert to Islam and take over the world - apparently they are also incestuous and cannibalistic, like your midgets...lol Middle Ages), and I seem to remember at least one Muslim interpretation that said G&M were the whitey Christians?
And I'm not even going to get into the English Gog and Magog, who are indigenous giants who end up becoming the guardians of London, which is completely cracked out.

Forget lobotomies, he's beyond hope. Just give him a bullet to the head! They already told us the weakness of the immortals- the gun has been introduced in the play, someone will HAVE to get shot by the 5th act.
