the next part?? There is a writers strike......
We will likely have to wait until September ....for new episodes...
Maybe we will get a couple eposides of "Heros:Origins"
Hero: Origins have been scrapped due to the strike. They won't be aired.
Hopefully, the writer's strike will be resolved by February and they can resume production immediately and begin airing end-of-march. Is that too much to ask for?
But looking back at this unreal episode it had it all. I believe all the Heros were in play. The promos promised two deaths and we got three, well two, but maybe just one. The first death turned out not to stick, as Suresh was able to resurrect Maya while all of at home screamed out NOOOOoooo! Why couldn't that one stay dead? But this story was a good B-plot and the beautiful Elle saved the day. Now is time for my typical pause to fantasize about Kristen Bell. 1. 2. 3. 4. Ok, I'm back. Speaking of Elle, unlike Maya or Adam, she was the only interested and layered (read: well thoughout) new character of the season. And it shows. She's gone through a great transformation this season and now seems to be on the good guys side. So, for those keeping score, Heros +1 Villians 0.
Not so fast. Noah made a deal with the company to keep their secrets safe in return for keeping Claire and family safe. What was the deal you ask? Well, death 3 or possible death 3 relates directly to this. But before we get to that, lets talk about Bennett's belief that the company cannot be exposed. Why does he care so much? What else has the company done?
Speaking of the company, this episodes A-plot and the mini-season's primary focus came to a head as heros Matt, Hiro and Nathan arrived to stop Adam and Peter. Hiro was unable to do it alone, leaving Adam and Peter to pretty much commit to the single coolest scene in Hero's history - as they walk down the hall of Primatech kicking ass and walking tall. That scene was amazing. Just unreal to watch. So cool. I want to be Peter Petrelli (and not just for the good looks). Hiro, feeling defeated gets his groove back (again) when he runs into flying man. The three unite and take different, less powers-related approaches to getting Peter to see Adam for who he really is. Nathan, who doesn't resort to his power at all, is able to convince his brother that Adam is a manipulator and must be stopped. Hiro, however, has a choice confrontation with his father's killer and Adam's motives for playing god are revealed. You see, after living through all the inhumanities of the past 400 years, Adam is convinced that we've got it wrong. Heck, even God got it wrong and was allowed on do-over by drowning the earth for 40 days and 40 nights. Surely Adam is justified in killing most of the population and playing savour in the process? Right? Well not according to Hiro who zaps Adam away just in time for Peter to stop the virus and destroy it.
But how do you stop an exploding I mean immortal man? Hiro takes a page out of the "holy shit that is awesome" play book and teleports Adam into the one place he can't hurt anyone - a coffin where his parents are burried. Talk about a satisfying ending. But this also allowed Hiro enough time to flash back to work, sneak in some porno and surprise Ando with his job well done (the capturing of Kensie).
Back at primatech mission accomplished. Sorta. Nathan has had it up to here with the manipulations of his parent's generation. In that vault there is info that proves that all their parents had a hand in their current destiny. And what's more, they need to be exposed. So they hastily put together a press conference. And in as much time as it took them to get the press together, Nathan begins to pontificate the motives for telling the truth rather than getting to the point of actually saying it. This delay will end up costing him his life as a man (Noah Bennett, presumably) shooted him twice and walks away. This assassination was organized by people in power, most notably his remorseless mother who earlier in the episode speculated about having Peter murdered and later made sure the trigger was pulled on her other son's death. Harsh. So, with Elle on the side of good and Bennett on the side of villians, the score is now Heros 1 and Villians 1.
On to overtime. Avoiding the shootout was as easy as acting like a dirty heroine junkie for our resident psycho path Sylar. Armed with the blood that cures all, Sylar regains his powers and declares (first with muscle twitches in his neck and then with words) that he's back.
Heros 1 Villians 2.
Overall, great episode. Much more satisfying that last season's finale. The teaser into the next chapter was well played. Overall, I agree with the others who say Adam was not as fierce as he should have been. I blame the writers and I also blame Maya, her brother and Micah's ugly younger cousin. Oh yeah, and Micah's older cousin gets rescued by Niki who falls victim to the inferno and dies. 3 down, 1 up now two down. But can Peter save Nathan with his blood... maybe just 1 down. Why couldn't Maya just stay dead?
