These Heroes are tough on New York - they blow it up the first season, and then evacuate it in the second season. Why don't they pick on LA or Chicago for a change?
Probably because '24' has the LA disaster scenerio locked up and there is an unwritten code that TV shows are not allowed to be set in Chicago
.
Anyway, finally got to see the show last night and I was happy with a lot of the developments. First, let me just say that I'm really growing tired of Claire and West. Their plot seems like filler. Claire is at her best when she's doubting her father or rebelling. And while she's doing both of those right now I feel that her motives are skewed and that she's forgotten all about the events of last year. It seems a bit off to me, that she'd forget that Peter 'died' or that she's got a family in New York. She's reverted back to her self at the beginning of last year and I'm getting impatient for her to re-join the overarching story.
Having gotten that off my chest, I was thrilled with most of this week's episode. Bennett is bad-ass. And loved the reference to his old invisible partner and the allusion so someone we don't know, the liquid man. When he and the Haitian finally made it to the warehouse we saw the rest of Issac's paintings. They seemed more comic book-ish then most of his other work but they painted a very ominious portrait of what's to come. There is a hand holding an open viel (probably the virus). There is a blond woman (Nikki or Claire?) pounding on the window. There is a man (Peter or Hiro, not sure) fighting a Samari dressed Kensie. Then there was a man shooting a gun, again not sure if it was Sylar, Nathan or Peter but it looked like Sylar to me. There were a few paintings that couldn't be made out and of course, the main one, Bennett dead. Great stuff.
Mohindar's story got a lot better now that Nikki (or Jessica) is his sidekick. We know her morals are not as clean as his. And the company is really keen on buttering Monica up. I loved when Bob tasked her with using her powers to help rebuild New Orleans. He's a great manipulator.
Finally, Peter and his woman made it to Montreal where they found a note from Adam. This Adam is obviously a company target and has come across Peter in the past. Who is he? What's his power? Before any of us can dwell on that we're wisked into the future, June 14, 2008 to be exact. Looks like NYC has been evacuated. All signs point to Mohindar's doomsday prediction coming true - the company will manipulate the virus and it will spread to the general population. Oh no, looks like Peter will have to stop the virus, save the world once again.
Oh yeah, Kensie is bad. Hiro is in trouble. Guns exist in old Japan... I'm just waiting for the teenage mutant ninja turtles to crossover from their 3rd movie and get this plot shaking.
