Heroes

[StarOpal]

Eee! I know! I was thinking about it while I was at work the other day and just bouncing around my office. The fact that I also had Friday off may have had something to do with my good mood too...

And when me and a group of friends rented Rocky Bilboa last week and Milo came onscreen, "Heroes!" "Peter Petrelli!" "Save the Cheerleader, save the World!"
Husband of friend *just shakes head*

This is going to be a tough wait.

A - Casting Milo as Stallone's son was genius. I don't think there's ever been a more believable (for me, anyway) parent/child casting when the actors weren't related in real life. Doesn't hurt that he's an amazing actor!

B - NEW HEROES TONIGHT! I'm totally throwing a party in my room! It's gonna be awesome!

Ah! I love having it back on!!!

Spoilers!

I love the teaming up of Ted/Bennet/Parkman. For some reason that's just a really amusing combo to me. Also...after Sylar hit Peter w/ that glass shard, the whole rest of that I just kept saying "All they have to do is pull it out! Just pull it out!" and then "Claire knows how to save him!"

And I simultaneously love Nathan ("put it under your pillow") while despising him. That "evil President Nathan" picture Sylar painted looked super creepy.

I CAN'T WAIT for next week's episode! It looks to be so cool!

LOL Me too! Me too!

Is it just me or is Ted less crazy than when we last saw him? And Mama Petrelli is very interesting.

Prof. Jr. continues down his incredibly horrible decisions and complete lack of survival instincts path. I'm thinking this might be the real reason Prof. Sr. kept him out of the researching loop.

Future Hiro is back! I can't wait for the next episode.

THIS WAS THE SINGLE GREATEST HOUR OF TELEVISION EVER!

Seriously, I agree about the Peter thing. I don't think I've yelled/conversed with a TV character out loud like that since I was still watching Sesame Street...

I think it's so cool that Linderman can heal people/living objects! That really shocked me only because I was expecting him to be this big anti-hero guy. It makes sense now, though!

Also love the HRG/Matt/Geico Caveman team, but I'm still bothered by the fact that they've just narrowly escaped imprisonment and certain grief, and they go to a diner? Well, I guess they were hungry...

****SPOILERS****
Could they have made the Isaac/Jesus parallel any more obvious? But I'm sad he's dead. And what do you think he meant when he told Sylar that he told people how to kill him? Did he draw/paint it in his sketchbook and give it to that other guy? But I absolutely loved the c razy twisted paintings Sylar did. Awesome stuff.

And Hiro meets Hiro -- That made me very happy! (Except for the impending space/time continuum rift it should've caused, but I digress.)

And I'm guessing Linderman is using Micah to help rig the election polls so Nathan wins. It'd be pretty awesome to see Nikki/Jessica find out what the shapeshifter or illusionist or whatever did and have the two of them fight....or Jessica just rip the other girl to shreds, whatever works!
****END SPOILERS****

Next week is gonna be awesome! I'd worry that the time-travel-to-alternate-future thing might be jumping the shark, and prematurely, but for a show as well-written as Heroes, I'm excited!!!!!!!!!!

[DarthShady]

So tonight's episode was...okay in my opinion. Not their best. But I really liked the scenes with Sylar and his mom, and that ending was just....whoa...

[StarOpal]

"The Boogieman eats your brain." I TOLD YOU! He's eating the brains! Huzzah!

Niki/Jessica, Mama Sylar, Mama Petrelli... It was like the Mother's Day Heroes episode. Mrs. Petrelli was channeling some Manchurian Candidate there. At least she didn't kiss her son. Ew. I just thought the snow globe seen was great and really sad.

Darthshady, now every time Ted comes on I see a Geico Caveman and start laughing. You've totally ruined me. So I wonder if Mr. Bennet, Policeman, and Caveman are going to have to kill the little girl to "destroy" the tracking system?

Yeah, I'd say overall the episode was a little slower than usual, but in a getting the pieces set up kind of way.

It did do extremely well with Sylar and his mom, and "Don't worry, New York! We will save you!"

And that cliff hanger? I was looking at the clock going "Oh, no they're not." and they did. *shakes fist*

My mission in life is accomplished.

[aargmematey]

OH. MY. GOD.

boom.

[DarthShady]

I'm so confused! Who's the bomb?

Oh, and ****spoiler**** who else thought it was totally BA the way Linderman was killed? DL phasing his fist through his brain...creepy. ****end spoiler****

[StarOpal]

"Boom." Sylar is great.


Spoilers....


DL, Noooo! Caveman, Noooo! Ando, No, No, Noooo!

What is with this show's fixation on brains? It's like they're zombie heroes. That thing with Linderman was actually kinda ick.

"Didn't I throw you out a window once?" Best Ali Larter Moment the whole show.

I really liked Mr. Bennet and Policeman as a team.

Nathan just can't decide to be a good guy or a bad guy. Linderman healing the wife may have been nice, but I like to think he did it for strictly self serving slightly evil purposes.

One more episode.... Ando, Noooo!

P.S. Did you notice in the preview Peter is wearing white while facing off against Sylar, who is wearing black? Subtle it ain't.

Haha, best line of the episode, probably in the top 10 or at least 15 of the season.

And I know it's a little late for this, but last week, when Claire found out about Nathan's ability: "You can fly? That's cool." I got a kick out of that too...

[DarthShady]

HOLY CRAP!

[StarOpal]

AAAAHHHHHH! So great! I'm going to die waiting for "Volume 2" to start...


SPOILERS

And now my disorganized ramblings:

Nathan wasn't a bad guy after all. I, for one, do not believe the Petrelli brothers are dead! At the very least Peter, since they made such a big deal about how he would survive the blast. Off screen deaths don't count.

And an explanation of Peter's dreams and Simone's Linderman connection. Thank you, Heroes writers, for giving me that.

Someone even worse than the Boogieman?

I love how Sylar crawled off. I'd personally like to think that he went off to what he thought was his death because he wanted to die since he accidentally killed his mom. If he comes back, what do you think: Hero or Villain or whatever suits personal agenda?

Hiro in the past (finally!)? I hope we get to see some of that hinted at dinosaur stuff. Ando lived!

I still wanna know if Mama Petrelli has a power. Maybe she'll become Primatech's new head?

And so many established characters left alive to continue in the story.

I do have one question though. What ever happened to the woman who showed up for, like, two episodes with the wave power? The one who came to see Ted in the cabin and gave him the clue about the Organization?

Man, I love this show.

I know!!! I love Nathan, and I really wish he could be around for season 2, but at the same time it would be kinda lame if he survived that. Oh, such a conundrum!

That scared me, but also brought me hope: New Villain Next Season!

I really don't know. Zachary Quinto plays an excellent villain. I was so happy he lived, though. Which sounds bad, but he's such a good character! It would be interesting to see him reformed...

I know! I love the prospect of him going to the past, AND I love Ando! Mucho happiness there!

Her name was Hana, and if you read the graphic novels on nbc.com, she's a major character in those. She's been working with HRG- sorry, NOAH!-and is supposed to be a really big character in Volume Two. That's the thing that bothers me about the GNs. You get all this cool back story they don't have time for on the show, but then the people who don't read them every week are just kinda left wondering "Who was that woman?" and "What happened to Eden?" They need to start including some of the more important GN information in the actual show.

Other revelations about the finale:

-Mama Petrelli is a witch! (But I love hating her )
-So happy to hear Mr. Bennet's first name. I giggled when he said "Call me Noah."
-Very happy that Niki doesn't need Jessica anymore (or so it would seem...)
-I hope Matt doesn't die! He didn't look too good in that ambulance.
-Random thought I stole from someone on another message board: Remember the star Molly drew Mohinder for protection? It could possibly be because Matt promised to take care of her, so his badge is like a symbol of protection to her. Which is the most adorable thing I've ever read and so I felt the need to share!
-Hiro did look badass!
