Heroes - 204 - The Kindness of Strangers
Oct. 15th, 2007 09:07 pmDamn! That's some exciting tv. IIRC, I wasn't into the first few eps of "Heroes" last season either, but this show looks like it's one that needs to rev up before it gets going.
I've actually been rather bored with both Hiro's and Peter's storylines and it feels like they've been taking up a lot of time these past several eps. Neither of which showed up in this ep, which is probably why I enjoyed it more. Although was that a baby Caitlin was holding in the promo? That Petrelli sperm doesn't waste any time, does it? Although it might have been Matt's ex-wife too (Just what he needs! The wife showing up with a baby - that will probably turn out to actually be his, another MicroHero! YAYZ - on his doorstep, his dad may be some horrible killer and the little girl who can find him is comatose due to his SuprEvolz dad).
Also, Nathan's kids... powers or no powers?
I'm sorry, but Claire's new boyfriend still creeps me out, but I'm thinking that he's supposed to. The extra pushiness for Claire to not break up with him and the date, encouraging Claire to lie to her father? The whole you can trust ME, Claire, and nobody will understand you like I can thing. Just a really bad vibe all around. However, I was calling him a creep since the Peeping Tom business... and Claire is just falling for it. UGH! Either he's secretly working for The Company (spying or trying to turn Claire to their side and/or spying on HRG) or he's involved somehow with Nightmare Man (possibly a minion and also maybe the one who killed Keito Nakamura? It wasn't Matt's father as he was a bit portly. The guy who killed Keito was thin. Granted, that could be anybody, but New Kid who we know nothing about but having a supposed connection to HRG, he has powers, wafts with the untrustworthiness, cozying up to the cheerleader who everyone was after last season and also happens to fit the physical profile as he looks about the right height and weight for it? Dude! He so killed Keito!).
I'm still kind of pissed about DL getting killed (and offscreen to boot!!), but the relatives look very cool. The girl is a mimic, maybe? And it looks like Micah did something to her? "I wanted to fix your dreams"? Whuh?? Micah can fix/mess with people as well as electronics? I'm betting Great-Auntie Uhura probably has powers as well.
Oh! Sylar teaming up with Maya (the one who could "kill the devil", Devil = Sylar or Devil = Nightmare Man?) and Alejandro! Suddenly they just got a helluva lot more interesting. Sylar always goes on the most interesting road trips.
Matt you bad daddy! Although now Molly seems to be trapped in her own mind. Matt's dad have his powers, but x1000? Like the Professor Xavier to Matt's Jean Grey (minus Phoenix)?
