The Morning After Heroes

Morning After Heroes 11.12.07

The show was back in full swing last week, and now it seemed to be slowing down. Though from the looks of it, next week should pick up. I am a huge fan of the ‘fill in lost time’ device in TV and movies. It is really fun to see what has happened in a retroactive way. In this instance it seemed like they were pretty far along in the season and realized they took a lot of liberties and were like let’s jump back and clear some of this up.

The episode followed some of my lesser favorite characters, which I guess is a downfall of a show with such a huge ensemble separated by thousands of miles. I don’t care about Nikki/Jessica/Gina and DL, it is pretty boring and repetitive in my opinion. At least now we know what happened to DL, but he can let a fist go through him, but a bullet takes him down? Then N/J/G is going to be perpetually changing her persona and running away from her family. It must suck that one of your alter egos has super human strength, and your other has a super human desire for some blow. Hopefully N/J/G will eventually become like Multiple Man (sort of), and have a bunch of personas all with a different skill set that she can call upon at will. I loved Micah’s idea to be a superhero team like the Fantastic 4 minus one of course.
I always wanted to have Peter’s powers, because I was the type of kid who would wish for more wishes. So if given the opportunity to wish for a power, I would wish for everyone else’s. Now I want to be Peter even more because he gets to make out with Kristen Bell, and not only that he is using her. Hot.

Nothing is hotter than using a girl (just kidding, I am not a hunky dude, so I can’t pull it off, but a chubby guy can dream). I wonder if Kensei is being good or evil, I can’t tell. That is some suspense I am actually interested in. They are probably the two most powerful guys, so that is pretty dope that they are teaming up. Though I think he just set up an illusion that Nathan is better, and might not actually be, hence those haunting images in the mirror. He also created a snowstorm in Florida (which was grade school code for a girl’s bra showing where I am from). So that was probably a grander scale illusion.

Los Wondertwins are boring, we didn’t need to see their back story, we could have guessed it. I mean she killed a bunch of people and they had to run away. A little added fact that his wife cheated on him at their wedding. Probably an unnecessary added bit of information. Who knows, but nothing really new was added, except I guess we are supposed to learn that the brother feels put upon by his sister.
No Claire this week, and that’s great. I don’t need to see someone fighting with their father, I get enough of that in my life. I want to see flying and lightening bolts and stabbings. No Parkman/Mohinder drama this week, I wonder if everything is ok on the ranch where they live together.

So did the Haitian think he was helping Peter by doing that to him? I will make you forget everything you know, but everyone will still know that they are out to get you. How can that help him in his life. There is a delivery for me hold on one sec…Oh it’s a huge box, a transportation crate actually. There is someone inside of it, crap it’s the Haitian. Sorry guys but I will not remember any of this.
