Heroes-It's another double post, because I can't bring myself to watch this every week.


So I finally watched the last two episodes of Heroes. What happened? Here goes!

Sylar/Nathan/Gabriel- Did a lot of looking good, showing off his chest, flirting with Lydia and being confused in the first episode. The show also did something with him that I find utterly confusing, which was to show pretty definitively that the only memories he can actually recover are Nathan's, making it seem like Sylar is most definitely out of his own body and in Matt's mind, BUT then, they had Nathan/Sylar remember things that Sylar did and some Rasta guy projected them onto some mirrors or something. So which is it? Is he in himself or Matt? Or both? Or have you just really not thought this out much? In the second ep there was just a protracted battle with stupid Matt over his body, which of course Sylar was going to win, because Matt is just so so stupid it hurts me to watch him. Zachary Quinto was smoking hot in these two eps though, during the carnival parts especially.

Matt- See above. Got totally tricked by Sylar, now we are having this weird Quantum Leap thing where he's in the mirror and Sylar is in his body or something. I don't even know. I hate him.

Hiro- Showed up in Peter's apartment, all dying and stuff. Peter went off on a trip to save him, cause that's what Peter does, he saves people! He'll probably add a clipping about this to his shrine to himself, even if he has to write it himself! Anyway, after being predictably childlike and helping Deaf Emma accept her powers and whatnot, he traveled back in time to stop Charlie from getting killed by Sylar.

Peter- I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that he is pretty annoyed that he teleported to Ohio with HRG, got shot in the chest and then healed by some healer/killer kid, and then flew back to NYC all to get the healing power and heal Hiro, and when he gets there, Hiro had gone back in time. I would be pissed! He's gonna have to wait god knows how long for his "Hero paramedic saves childish Japanese man" headline now!

Claire- Though the whole horror/sorority hazing thing was kind of boring, I think this storyline has had the best payoff all season so far! We actually moved forward with the whole invisible girl is trying to get you plot, Claire's ability was revealed to some stereotypically idiotic college girls AND she admitted she liked Gretchen and maybe liked her "that way"! College lesbian love story here we come!



HRG/Tracy- These two had the tragic story of the last episode, with them trying to save the poor killer/healer teen and then it ending up that the kid gets dragged to death on the back of a pick up truck. It was pretty sad, and it of course led to Tracy telling HRG "Don't ever call me again", because if there's one thing you can always count on Heroes for, it's giving you a promising team up with good chemistry and then blowing it up one episode in. Tracy was also visited by Samuel, the Carny dude, and kind of sort of convinced that maybe she wanted to join his Carnival of People with Abilities Who Do Crazy Tricks and Manual Labor. HRG, as usual, was left alone and despondent, because apparently he can never be happy, even though he is the most tolerable character on the show. Maybe that's why! Maybe watching him constantly suffer makes me like him more or something. I don't know, I hope he calls Claire when he gets home, because they seem to be getting along okay these days.

Samuel the Carny guy- wants to turn Nathan/Sylar/Gabriel back into just plan Sylar, because apparently he did not read enough about him to know that when he is Sylar he is a remorseless serial killer of people with abilities, so he will probably just saw the heads of Samuel and all of his friends/employees and get lots of new powers and be psyched about it! Come to think of it, I can't wait until this happens.

Oh and Mohinder got a mention! I told you guys he wasn't dead!
