Okay, Heroes. You’ve got my attention now. I can’t successfully say that I was bored during this episode at all, so kudos! I don’t think the show has fully redeemed itself yet, but it is definitely getting there, and if it can keep up this momentum, we’re in for one awesome season finale. Dare I say that I’m excited to tell you what happened?

ReplyDeleteYou and I both know that Noah wasn’t born yesterday, so when Danko says he’s got Sylar dead, Bennet immediately feels something wrong in his gut. Sandra comes to visit him, letting him know that she’s not leaving the city until she can see her daughter again. Before the body that looks like Sylar can be burned, Noah investigates and pulls the stake out of the back of his head. When the body doesn’t immediately reanimate, Noah knows that Sylar is now a shape shifter. He’s then visited by his wife who serves him divorce papers and nothing about the situation sits right; especially when Sandra yells that she isn’t in love with him anymore. We find out that sure enough it is Sylar, so Bennet confronts him by putting a gun to his head. Only it turns out, the Sandra Noah tracks down really is her and now she’s just pissed off and probably will divorce him for real. In an effort to show everyone that they’ve been played, he tricks Danko into giving up that Sylar is still alive and posing as one of the men on the team. When Noah shoots the supposed Sylar though, the man dies. At least he appears to long enough for Bennet to have to go on the lam. Sylar heals, of course, and all is right in his world.
Speaking of Danko though, it turns out he has a little Russian lady on the side, and Matt gets it in his head that he’s going to kill her as payback for what happened to Daphne. He finds that he can’t though, because the woman is all sweet and barely speaking English well and was innocent in the whole thing. He does show her what Danko has done though, and unravels the lie for her at Danko’s apartment. She gives Danko the ‘don’t call or write’ speech before leaving after Danko tries to kill Matt.
Meanwhile, Hiro and Ando have been trying to take care of baby!Matt Parkman, and they’re just now figuring out that the baby touch and go can turn things off as well. Like the car when he isn’t happy. (That Nissan by the way is so ugly.) After unsuccessfully hitchhiking with a Texan accented Japanese man, (the baby stops the semi truck too with his wails), Hiro and Ando proceed to make a series of faces in front of the baby until they find one that sticks and he’s happy enough to let the car run. Eventually they make it to Matt and introduce him to his son.
Finally, Peter and Angela have told Nathan and Claire to meet them at a place called Coyote Sands. When everyone is there, she tells them that to get their answers they’re going to have to dig, so they do well into the night. Eventually they start digging up bodies and Angela says she knew them all at one time. After she gets weak in the knees, a car pulls up and it’s none other than Bennet.
How are you feeling about the show? I honestly have to say that I have renewed faith. I’ve liked the last couple of episodes and I’ve decided that it’s so much better when the writers focus on one or two story lines rather than have ten different plots going every which way. How are you liking this recent development? We’ve only got a handful of episodes left! Leave your Two Cents on what might happen in the comments below!
This episode is way better than the entire fall. Bryan Fuller's type of storytelling-- sticking to just a few stories -- works way better. Heroes is never going to be as good as it was first season because it had that shiny newness to it, but it is getting better!
