Watching Heroes on an actual Television set was pretty cool for a change on Monday night! Heck, I was even able to make some popcorn during one of the LONG commercial breaks and enjoy snacks while watching the show. No worries about getting butter-fingers on the keyboard! LOL
So I noticed something that was said a few times in Heroes Episode #9 (Homecoming), and I'm a little worried about it. I'm worried about Ando, people.
(Yes, I have suspended my reality and am pretending that I have NOT seen all the episodes of the season already. Just trying to take 1 Episode and keep it in its own context here)
Ando says something in kind of a forlorn way, which mirrors exactly something that Peter says about not really being special without others around. Peter says this, and then Ando admits that he isn't really anything special, either, without Hiro.
Hmmmm
With Peter - well, okay, he has acted very nutty in Heroes episodes 1-9, so a 'self-limiting' statement like he made seemed quite natural.
With Ando, however, here we have a guy who is taken from a good job and plunged into the chaos of North America, and he meets up with Peter, only to say basically,
"I am only special with Hiro around." (Not an exact quote, but essentially, this is the statement).
Do you think that Ando is co-dependent and too dependent on Hiro in order to define 'who he is'?
We can already TELL THAT PETER is a little loopy, and we don't wonder why too much. We already know it's the 'little brother in the shadows of high-profile older brother' kind of scenario going on with Peter.
With Ando, however, he seemed like the 'voice of reason,' in clips before he and Hiro got to New York. We, as viewers, mainly got the impression of Ando as a pretty grounded, secure guy who knew his place and who functioned objectively in the world. He seemed to be the stable, reasonable piece of reality standing beside Hiro's excitable, fantasty-obsessed character.
Do you think that 'discomfort' has made Ando co-dependent with Hiro? That is, the discomfort of new perspectives and a new location, has made Ando unable to figure out who he is by Episode #9? No longer can he think of himself as a 'stable,' 'objective,' and reasonably grounded individual, like he was back home.
In America, Ando can only be Hiro's side-kick? In America, Ando relies on what Hiro says, what Hiro does, in order to know his new, America-situated self?
When Peter says something like, "I kind of absorb the powers of other people," then Ando follows with a statement, "I'm not really anyone either." For Peter, he mentions a limit of what he can do or not do, as far as actions. For Ando, his statement is about 'self.'
Just something to think about...
