Heroes 1.16 Unexpected

Posted Monday, February 19, 2007 - 3 comments

Some of this episode was boring but some was quite entertaining, plus it provided some answers.

Hiro/Ando: We pick up where we left off with Hiro being freed from his closet by Hope's bald guy. We find out that the bag was full of poker chips and baldy wants his share, a shooting match starts between Hope and Baldy and poor Ando gets shot in the arm. Hiro saves Ando by dragging him into a storage compartment under a bus. Hope comes over and tries to shoot Hiro in the head but he freezes time and somewhat rewinds her but not anything else. It was odd, but neither of them knew he did it because both of theirs eyes were closed. The cops show up and haul Hope and Baldy off and patch up Ando. To end their storyline Hiro tells Ando to go home and talks about life isn't a comic book or something then gets on a bus where Stan Lee is the driver and leaves Ando in the dust. It wouldn't surprise me if Ando got in the car and followed the bus. I don't think we've seen the last of Ando by far.

Mohinder/Syler: We meet up with Mohinder and Sylar in Montana meeting a new "hero" that has super hearing. Of course after Sylar melts her best wrench she agrees to let Mohinder run a few tests on her. She also hears Sylar's heart go all crazy cause he wants to get her power. When they get back to the hotel they have a conversation about how Mohinder thinks he can help them control their power or suppress it if they want. Sylar takes offense to this saying they aren't a virus. Sylar then goes and kills the woman and they find the body in the morning. Sylar has a killer head ache...I wonder why?! I hope his head explodes. Sylar convinces Mohinder that they shouldn't call the cops because they will suspect them, and they take off with Mohinder saying that they have to warn everyone about Sylar. I'm wondering how long it will take Mohinder to figure out that shortly after every person they find they end up dead and link it to Sylar.

Matt/Ted: Ted gets a visit in his little shack in the middle of no where from a new hero names Hana who can read wireless signals. She tells him she knows what the marks on him are because she has them too. Matt gives his wife a ring and she gets mad because it's stolen and tells him that Mohinder called asking about him and the baby. Matt then gets a call from Ted and they take off. Matt meets Ted and Hana in a cemetery and tells Matt they need his help to take down HRG. Evidentially they were injected with a radioisotope used to track viruses in Africa. So the three of them trek off to Odessa to hold HRG hostage until the get answers.

Peter/Claude/Isaac: Mr. Bennet meets up with Isaac to give him a gun and tells him if he sees Peter to kill him. Peter gets beat up with a pole by Claude "in order to teach him how to use his powers" eventually Peter gets sick of it and breaks the pole with his telekinesis that he absorbed from Sylar. So Claude picks up another one and hits him in the face. I think Claude just wants to keep Peter knocked out so he can't explode. Simone comes to Isaac still wanting his help and Isaac lies to her, then she goes to Nathan and says they should go public with their abilities, needless to say that Nathan doesn't agree. While Peter and Claude are talking on the roof Claude gets shot with a stun gun and Peter almost does before he freezes time, then picks up Claude and flies away from their attackers. Want to guess who the attackers were? That's right Mr. Bennet and the Haitian. Peter takes Claude back to his apartment and Claude yells at Peter some more about how they found him and that's why he has been invisible for so long. He then shows the markings that the other abductees have, but they are all scabby and whatnot. I wonder if it's an older version of the injection gun thing, or if he thought it was a bug and tried to dig it out? They also surmise that Isaac is the one that tipped Evil Inc. onto where they were. Then Claude runs off leaving poor Peter all alone to be emo. Peter takes his anger and goes and attacks Isaac with his powers. It was nice to see Peter not be whiney and helpless. Peter throws Isaac across the room with his mind then goes invisible to Isaac can't shoot him and throws paint cans at him. Eventually Isaac hits something, but it's not Peter, its Simone! We leave them with both kneeling over her bleeding body. If that was the death they were pimping so much, I am gravely disappointed.

Claire: Claire's storyline started out very dull, dealing with her mom's degrading mind. She ends up taking her to the hospital and we discover she had a "bruise" on the memory section of her brain. When HRG finally shows up Claire yells at him blowing her cover. He promises to never do it again but she doesn't believe him. When they get him Matt and Ted are waiting for them wanting answers. Now the whole family knows something is up, unfortunately we don't get to find out until next week.

Until tomorrow for a new episode of Veronica Mars,
