Heroes

I want to talk about last night's episode of Heroes.

It was crazy.

I really liked it! The end scared me, but I'll talk about that later.

By the way, I am using rickey.org's review as a guide so I don't forget to talk about anything.

Alright.

Peter, Nathan, and Sylar's daddy killed Adam. I was just thinking about how attractive Adam is - er, was - when Mr. Petrelli killed him, or rather took his power away, which killed him. That scene was just crazy, the way he just disintegrated. Mr. Petrelli's power is really scary ... but I'll talk about that later.

Whew. Ando is not dead. I'm glad Hiro used his power to go back in time and fix it so that it would just be an illusion. I'm not sure what Hiro's got up his sleeve about joining with the bad guys in order to save the world ... I do know that Hiro and Ando's trip to Africa provided some of the funniest moments in the episode. My favorite line in the whole episode was probably Hiro's "Meesta Afreecan Eesaac?" (If I typed it the way it's really spelled, you couldn't get the whole effect of it). I laughed so loud at that, my dad's curiousity was piqued from the other room and he put his TV on NBC just in time to see Mr. African Isaac conk Hiro on the head with the shovel. All the shovel hitting - specifically Hiro's reactions to that - was funny too. I'm glad Hiro and Ando finally just snuck up on the African dude the old fashioned way. I wonder what will happen with them next week ...

Claire's story line was really scary this week. Puppetman was creepy. I didn't like him. The Russian roulette game with the gun and the two mommies was scary, too. I am glad Claire didn't have to shoot one of her mommies. I kinda guessed Claire would end up getting shot, but it was still exciting for me, especially when she got up and knocked Puppetman out. I know Puppetman has a name, but I don't really remember it at the moment and I don't feel like looking it up. And I'm sure Puppetman is technically two words, but I like typing it as one word better, sorta like Batman but scarier. Anyway, they took care of him. He won't be so creepy anymore! That is good.

I'm sorta starting to like Matt better than I have ... I think his turtle is helping him out. His airport-waiting story last night was a little dull, but I'm sure it's building up to something a lot more interesting. He had a future vision and now he wants to fix what he saw ... that's gotta bring up some interesting stuff in the long run. So right now it's sort of a transition stage, which has happened a lot in this show so far but it always yields exciting results.

Mohinder is going crazy. He's been so scary lately! I thought he was going to get better after Tracy and Nathan told him about Dr. Zimmerman and all. I thought he was actually trying to help Tracy and Nathan. But no. He's still crazy and a little evil. Sigh. I miss the old Mohinder, the old Mohinder I used to like more than I like Sylar.

Speaking of Sylar, he was helping Peter out last night! I was excited for the two of them to work together, even though Sylar's still pretty scary. Peter was not as excited as I was. I understand why. Sylar is supposed to be Peter's nemesis, but now they know they have the same mommy so it's all a little weird. So yeah, I understand why Peter was mad at Sylar (but I was oh so happy that Sylar took Peter out of the coma). Then they went to see their mommy and Peter was still mad. And then Peter beat the crap out of Sylar and put him in a coma. Oh Peter. Normally, Sylar in a coma would be a good thing, no matter how hot he is. But Peter, I believe Sylar really was trying to help you! And now he is in a coma. Sigh. But Peter's so wonderful (and gorgeous), I'd rather have Sylar in a coma than him, so I guess it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. Besides, I have a feeling Sylar's coma won't last too long.

So Peter ran away and went to see his daddy. Only he didn't know he was going to see his daddy. He was all, "Dad? You're supposed to be dead!" And Mr. Petrelli was all, "But I'm not, son. Now give Daddy a hug." And I was all, "DON'T DO IT PETER! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" But he did it anyway. Mr. Petrelli took all of Peter's powers away and I am very sad.

Rickey.org did help me find a possible bright side to this, though. Rickey said,

Peter’s power-loss is a nice “reset” switch. I think that when he regains his abilities, it will only be his original ability which is to copy powers via proximity. But he has to “start again from scratch”. This is good so he doesn’t have Sylar’s awful hunger anymore. Just my theory.


And my best friend, known as otherhero around here, theorizes that Sylar will help Peter get his power back. So, that would mean that there could be more Peter/Sylar scenes in the future, which would make me very happy. Also, Rickey's theory would mean that Peter won't be scary anymore, which would also make me very happy.

I would still be a little sad if Peter had to start from scratch absorbing powers. But maybe that's why they introduced another character that could paint the future, since Meesta Eesaac (haha) is dead. And maybe if Nathan stays in trouble a while, they will bring West back and Peter can absorb his flying power! Hey, I can dream. But I do like Nathan a lot, so I don't want him in trouble for long.

Ooooh, I just thought of something. I hope Peter doesn't run into Mohinder after he gets his power back ... I don't want Peter to start molting and spinning webs. Ugh. Maybe before Peter gets his power back, he can escape from his father (who apparently grounds him - with handcuffs - next week) and go be awesome and help Mohinder somehow ... how? I don't know. But it would be ideal for Peter not to absorb Mohinder's defective power but still be a hero and be responsible for making Mohinder super-likeable again. And then Peter can team up with Sylar and they can be super brothers and go get Peter's power back. And then Peter can refrain from absorbing Sylar's power, but then help him learn to control it somehow so they can be good guys together!

I'm not so good at theorizing, but I am good at dreaming. Haha.

Well, that's all for that. This was a fun post! I'll try to do this every week, or at least as much as I can.

Bye!
