Sorry for the delay on this, I am a lazy POS.

Again this episode was decent, but I am more excited about next week’s. I have to stop watching promos, because I find myself saying the same thing week in and week out. I am glad some people started dying, or at least getting punched in the face.

A full episode without Hiro or Peter, that kind of bothered me. It made the episode seem to move a little slow, though there was enough interesting stuff, to not make me tune in to The Hills. The most exciting part of the episode was Sylar, or Gabriel Gray. Sylar is great, he seems to be so creepy, but he is at it his creepiest when he is trying to be fake endearing. It works so well. When he says ‘Oh Golly’ or ‘I know Dr. Suresh,’ makes my skin crawl.

Finally, the show is starting to look up and up, though again nothing really happened. This episode featured something that TV shows rarely have any more, characters making decisions. I know this may seem like a far out concept from fans of a show like Lost, where nobody ever decides anything or shares information.

The Finale(tdown)

Ok so I am bit disappointed, and I hope that I am not the only one who is.  The finale was a bit of a letdown, maybe because the two lead-up episodes were pretty fantastic, but this was weak nonetheless.
   

Sylar escaping into the sewers at the end, I know people are going to say ‘But it is SO comic book of them to do that!’  Forget that, it’s beat let him die, all that bad ass sword training heroes does and he doesn’t go in for the coup d’ grace and decapitate the creepy brain eater.  We don’t need to have that bad guy anymore, they have hinted at a bunch already.  Molly says that the worst boogie-man of them all can see her back.  We have a chance to see a good old fashion marvel team up of Peter and Nikkica going after Sylar but no, Peter makes her go to her family.
   

Could they have jammed family more down our throat in this episode, any chance they got a character would mention family, whether it was pregnant wife, daughter, brother, mother, son, husband…Everyone.  I don’t need any more reminders about how important family is my mom calls me and tells me that every weekend I don’t go visit her in the hospital.
   

Also Nathan’s speech when he came to rescue Peter? Yuck, gag me with a presidential spoon.  We get it, just fly him into outer space and do it fast, because remember he is about to microwave midtown.  Why couldn’t Claire just shoot him? Wouldn’t Nathan still be alive? And also couldn’t they shoot him in the base of the brain and then take the bullet out and have him come back to life.  It has already happened twice in the series.
  

Also Parkman and D.L. can really tough it out through those bullet wounds huh?
   

Now there are some things that I didn’t hate about this episode, actually a number of things I that gave me the fanboner I need:
   

-Parkman’s line “ I left my pregnant wife 3000 miles away, he is a bad guy, I am a cop, I am going after him.

-When Nikkica grabbed the parking meter, and dropped the pain on Sylar.
   
-Following that Petrelli taking off his jacket to really get down.
   
-Hiro seeing his childhood Hero right before battle in the end.
   
-Nikki or was it Jessica getting a pep talk from Jessica or was it Nikki.
   
-When it is revealed that the woman who hit on McDreamy was also Meredith’s sister! Holy Cow!
   
-When Micah fixed the elevator I got super excited because they were working as a team, all they need now is some spandex suits and a paralyzed leader with a bicced head.
   
-Unlike Lost Heroes doesn’t leave you with TV-blue balls, where nothing ever happens.  I like that the season wrapped and the next season is starting with a new plot, no cliffhangers
       

Penultimate Episode!
   

There is nothing I love saying more than the word penultimate though all it really means is second to last.  If you told your friends you came in penultimate in the office 5K fun run, they would be super impressed, but you were just really one place away from DFL.
   

So much awesome stuff happened in this episode that I am having a hard time balancing my laptop on my Heroes-induced erection.  This show has never been one to hesitate about killing people, but last night was end of The Departed types of killing. 
   

Bennet killing Eric Roberts was almost too great for me.  Just seeing a guy who has no powers except that he must protect his daughter is pretty fracking sweet.  He goes right up to him no hesitation and gives him a double tap in the side of his skull.  I thought we were going to have a Mexican standoff right then and there (instead it happened 30 seconds later with Mohinder).  Bennet just stepped up and did what had to be done.
   

Speaking of doing what had to be done D.L. taking out Linderman.  Watching Linderman’s eyes fill with blood was pretty sweet.  Seeing that gaping hole in his head as he landed, then just sitting there hoping that he doesn’t heal.  Rooting against him not so much because he is a bad guy, but mostly because it would be lame if he healed himself and came back.
   

Then Ted being killed by Sylar we all knew was inevitability.  I for some strange reason started to really like Ted, he cared so much about his mistakes, so much to the point that while he was on his death bed, he was more concerned with the radioactivity leaking out of his body, or whatever he said he was leaking…. How embarrassing?

Ok now for some quick hits that I would like to get out there

-So the shape shifter chick is really a fat ugly chick.   That is why she is being so nice to Micah!
-What did that computer do to Micah?  There was that weird moment, my guess cyber-molestation.
-Will Bennet kill Molly?  I say no because she is somebody’s daughter too.
-Does Nathan’s kids have any special powers?  Or is it a recessive gene and both your parents would have to have powers?

-My favorite moment is the hint that next season might take place in the past and be all the older heroes fighting alongside one another.  Cannot wait for the (just plain) ultimate episode next week.

No Haitian this week…Finally…I remember everything; yeah I’d love one of these brownies.  What is in them?  Oh crap…

Overall I thought the episode was one of the lesser ones (though ti could be because I am watching it, and writing this super late.  I am really excited for the rest of the season that’s for sure.
   

A classic device in all action movies/shows is to see the ‘bad guy’ with his/her mom/dad.  Last night’s episode had a great Sylar/Mama Sylar scene.  Nothing creepier than seeing an over protective mother touching her child inappropriately on the face and force-feeding him a tuna sandwich.  We see her obsessively collect snow globes, worship the ground that her son works on but in the same breath be back-handed with some verbal abuse.  Though the Heroes version of this classic scene takes an interesting turn when we see the usually depressed killer mourning over the accidental death of a loved one, instead we see Sylar painting a mural with her blood.  If there was a word that combined bad ass and nasty I would use it here…how about bad-nassty.  I like that.
   

I also enjoyed the interaction between Micah and the shape-shifter chick.  I thought for sure we were going see the classic, smart kid running amok in a hotel as bad guys chase him.  Thank god we didn’t instead it is finally revealed that the woman changes perception and not just shape-shifts.  That was pretty scary.  If I was Micah, I would have ran to the nearest condom machine and used my gear-head knowledge to get one out, the second a woman in a towel says to me ‘I can make you see things that would screw you up for life’ I would be 100 percent on board.  Ha, I am kidding.  Who uses condoms? It is like swimming with sneakers on, it just doesn’t feel right.
   

What did Nikki/Jessica complain about when DL took her through the wall.  How did she get that far over to the hotel, but then decide to complain?  Weird, don’t ever do that to me again.
   

Does Molly’s power seem a bit to similar to Cerebro (the computer from X-men)?
  

Since I didn’t love this episode, I am going to write a bunch of things that I want to see in the next two episodes.
   

-How does Peter get the scar? Does his razor sharp Spider-Man 3 bangs cut his face wide open.
   

-I would like to see Cheerleader blow Peter (‘s brains out, with a gun).
   

-More towels on the shape-shifter jumping in and out of other hot chicks in towels bodies.
   

-More of Fall-Out Boy using radioactivity to start cars, however that works.
   

-Eric Roberts reprising his role as Alex Grady in Best of the Best (one of the best team-based Karate movies of 1989 featuring Chris Penn)
   

-Fire vs. Ice showdown!
   
   

Last nights Heroes was awesometacular, I really really enjoyed it.   I was generally surprised that Nathan was actually Sylar!  I had no idea, that moment when he had Claire in his study, he was acting so creepy.  He was most certainly not acting the way a father should, that hug lingered on for just enough for me to report him to child services. 

Nothing has gotten me more excited on this show than Peter’s badassitude.  He is finally an interesting character on this show.  Sweet scar, he’s blasting Nikki/Jessica, he has all these powers and he sits invisible at a strip club, assumedly so he could burn one out in peace.  That moment when Peter squared off with Sylar in the hallway was so ‘Return of the Jedi’ different color radiation powers, pretty reminiscent of Vader and Luke’s light sabers. 

Though more ridiculous than that was Mohinder holding the door shut as he tried to get Hiro and Ando to teleport out.  How the hell was he doing that, he was leaning up against the door, as flashes of bright radiation is swinging it open.  He was holding back presumably the two most powerful ‘people’ on earth just by leaning up against a door? Unless that is Mohinder’s power prevention of entry (I could have used that power when I pledged a frat).

I also liked that Parkman became a real scumbag, mostly because I couldn’t give two shits what he was doing before.  He is fucking over people left and right tasering poor little Hiro and hiding his own kid presumably with powers (probably that kid from the previews, I want to give up watching previews but I just can’t).

Speaking of previews what is that little kid’s power?  The kid that is presumably more ridiculous than everyone else?  Speaking of ridiculous how could they have never found that timeline in Isaac’s loft?  Is that the best place for Hiro to set up the Palace of Hirotude?  Ok enough of these speaking ofs! Speaking of enough here are some complaints I have about the show

-The plotline is following a plot very similar to that of ‘The Watchmen’ by Alan Moore one of the greatest comics every written. 

-It is also similar to ‘The Civil War’ no not the one fought over ‘slavery’ (still don’t believe that exists).   I am talking about the Civil War from Marvel Comics, which kind of copied the Watchmen and now Heroes is kind of copying.

-This plotline is also pretty similar to the plot of America, the country that a lot of us live in.  Seems as though Jeff Kring is pretty anti-Giuliani.

Also is the Haitian finally dead?  Can I rest easy and know that I will remember this tomorrow? 

Wait hold on one second there is someone at the door, I will be right back…
Oh Fuck.

The Morning After Heroes 4.30.07

Last nights Heroes was awesometacular, I really really enjoyed it.   I was generally surprised that Nathan was actually Sylar!  I had no ide…I am having such bad déjà vu right now...don't know what it could be

Not as great as last week, but still on the up and up.  I would of course still watch this show no matter how bad it got (I mean, I am still watching Studio 60).  It’s hard to talk about this show in a positive light, because they did something that pissed me off so much right at the top.  Why put featuring Malcom McDowell at the end of the credits, now we know who is playing Linderman.  I know SAG has some regulations about credits, but they maintained the suspense for the whole season, they didn’t have another six minutes in them?  I know the reveal of Linderman didn’t even end up being a big deal, but I am a huge fan of Clockwork Orange, so it is good to see that Alex DeLarge is getting work.

I will also go out on a limb and say I hate shape-shifters and all the plot-lines they bring with them.  Seriously they do all that "Face Off" /  "MI-2" shenanigans, where who is really who?  They have those a-ha moments, where the morpher thinks they fooled the audience.  The second someone is revealing a secret to anyone, you know it’s the shape-shifter…so BOO to her, and really they couldn’t find an actress that looked less like the Computer Chick that they arbitrarily threw in for one episode just to move the plot along a little bit.

Why didn’t Mohinder just waste Sylar when he had the chance? God that makes me angry.

Ando is back, I miss him and he looks so precious in his little uniform.

Petrelli’s mom? Huge Bad ass, can’t wait to hear more about her.

The Moment That Could Have Been

Linderman: Petrelli do you like vegetables?
Petrelli: Yeah…I'm married to one! Booyah!

Oh fuck mind-wipe time again…

Getting better every week, so many great moments.  I loved the flashbacks we got to see how intertwined everyone’s lives are.  Granted they have been jamming connections and coincidence since the getgo.  Yet there is something cool to seeing Hiro as a skinny kid, and that his dad (if he is really his father) is in cahoots with both paper co. guy AND Eric Roberts, who I will dub Best of the Best (after his best role). 

Two great cameos, two weeks in a row.  We had Best of the Best this week, and last week the Bus Driver was played by the same guy who played the Mailman in the Fantastic Four movie.

Though one flashback that may not have gone over that well was the flashback to see the ‘mute’ Haitian as a boy.  According to my only black friend LeMar ‘he didn’t look anything like the Haitian, racist NBC, racist Tim Kring.’  What he really should have said was racist Gabrus because, I was like oh a big headed black kid looks just like him.

I was a little upset that we didn’t get to see Princess Emoticon this week, mostly because she is hot, but also where the hell did she go?  She gets introduced in one episode gone the next, especially since they were trying to hack into his computer in this one, wouldn’t you want to bring the chick who has a sick body and a gig of ram in her brain?

I feel this show does best when they don’t worry about trying to catch us up on all the characters, this week we avoided the ménage-a-drama that is Nikki, Jessica, Melted-Chocalate and Technu-latto, I could definitely do without them.  Also Parkman’s wife is the pits, she gets pregnant super fast and all she gives a shit about is plumbing.

Now for some questions I am excited to see answered:
Is Takei Hiro’s real dad?
Who is the kid that Invisible Dundee is hiding?
Who is that chick in the lab at the end, and why does she look like WiFi 34C?
What’s going to happen to the rest of Claire’s family?
Who is that black guy dressed in fine linens in my apartment? 
Oh crap not again…

Damn, why couldn’t ESPig die, I am PO’d I thought for sure he was going to bite it in this episode…but  no, coincidences got the best of us again on Heroes.  The guy who he guards just happens to work for Linderman and happens to be on the hit list, so that mirror-bitch can run into 5.0verweight.  If the cop needs money so bad that he would take a rent-a-gig, why doesn’t he just go play cards and read the other player’s minds…Just head right over to Vegas, oh no that’s where Ando and Hiro are, more connections!!!  The cameo list on this show is sky rocketing, first Sulu-dad and now Dawber the bounty hunter, who is going to be next Cody from Step by Step playing Linderman?  I hope so.

What about Claire’s reaction to seeing her dad drive away? This is a girl who is indestructible but still gets grounded and throws a rock at her real dad…LIKE A GIRL!  Booyah take that invinciteen!  I didn’t get to see next week’s preview’s as I had to buy it on iTunes and I realize that not having teases puts a damper on my experience.  I enjoy my little flashes of the future.  Or wait maybe I saw the preview but somehow I forgot,..Hey get that little dog outta here, I don’t have a dog…Who are you sir, why is a creole guy standing in my living room?  Oh Haitian, I’m sorry how was I supposed to know…What is Microsoft word?

A great episode and I stand by the fact that the reason it was so good because there was no Mind-reading 5-0, his plot line is so lame.  NYC is going to be destroyed and he is knee deep in human feces fixing his bathroom for his cheating wife.  I wonder if his mind reading will work on the baby and learn if he is the real father or is his old partner.
    

Nuclear Nurse does it again!  He figured out how to control his powers, and Skanko-phrenic’s bad side learned how to control hers just as Linderman released her.  I should’ve known that Senat-air was Indestructo-Girl’s father.  He is a philandering, phlying, phucker-arounder.  If lil Technulatto wasn’t nappy-haired I would assume that he was on of Nathan’s Kids too.
     

My personal favorite moment of the episode was when No Rules Just Invisible threw Nuke RN off the building, I thought for sure that he was going to fly, but instead he regenerated.  He was able to heal because he thought about Claire before he crashed.   I am glad I don’t have his power because I would snap my dick off, trying to think about Ali Larter while beating off.  I would freak out and turn into a mirror version of myself.
    

Until next week same NBC time same NBC channel…Oh hey who are you, There is some black dude I don’t recognize in my apartment…oh, I am sorry I didn’t realize you were Haitian…Let go of my head! 
What the heck am I typing?…Where am I?
