This weekend I finally caught up on all the episodes I had not seen.
Peter loses his powers
Sylar turns good (sorta)
Claire turns bad
Peter and Nathan’s dad returns.
I believe that Peter will get his powers back, somehow. I also believe that Parkman’s father isn’t dead… Parkman remarked about how his dad could make people see things in their minds also, so I think this is what really happened instead of him dying.
And I think that Sylar did save Peter from that fall when he threw him out the window. But I can also see a possible senario of Peter gaining his powers back, which is why the fall didn’t kill him.

I am not sure where this is going with Sylar working for the company, or if I believe Angela’s telling him that he is her son too. But we will see, I guess it would make sense, since her other 2 boys are both powered.
Dr Zimmerman CREATED Niki/Tracey? I am interested to see what comes of that. I am thinking that he gave her her powers, not that she is some Frankenstein. And how did Niki die?
Also I am glad to see that Peter is back now, and he isn’t trapped or out of the picture of the rest of them for the first half of the season, like last year.
Not sure what is going on with Parkman, Hiro or Suresh, who we didn’t see this week.

ok, ok, ok, ok…. SORRY…. I am a slacker and I haven’t updated the blog yet. But I am getting caught up. Peter shoots his own brother, I didn’t see that coming, I suspected it was Noah. But I like the way it is turning out, I don’t think telling the world would have been a good idea anyway.
And Linderman is a figment of Nathan’s imagination. Perhaps Niki’s sickness is wearing off on him somehow, OR, more likely, Linderman has some other power we don’t know about which causes hallucinations and perhaps Multiple Personalities, as Niki has. She was close to Linderman during the first season.
And now Niki’s name is Tracey Saunders and she can freeze people, even The Greatest American Hero. When did that happen?
Mohinder is turning into The Fly, ROFL. At first I thought he was Spider-man, but no.. he is The Fly. Go watch the Jeff Goldblum movie.
Peter is gonna be chasing himself for the next few episodes, I am betting. And Sylar won’t last long in that hospital.
I don’t have any predictions yet, let me get through this week’s episode and I will blog again. Starting next Monday, they should all be on-time from now on.

This blog will be started up again on Monday, Sept 22 when the new 2-hour Season Premiere debuts.
December 3, 2007, 8:26 pm : Episode 11: Powerless
Filed Under: Season 2Discussion: C[1]mments
Elle visits Noah while he is locked away at the company and gets him to tell her about what her father did to her when she was young. In turn, it looked at first like Elle let Noah go, but we find out later that Bob and Noah both go to Noah’s house and Noah basically leaves his family in order to go back and work for The Company. This isn’t by choice, he does it so that The Company will leave his family alone.
Parkman and Nathan get the info from Nathan’s mom about where the virus is held and Nathan flies them both there. Hiro is already there and has confronted Peter and Adam already, but got knocked out by a shock from Peter. The 3 of them confront Peter with force, but since Peter is such a badass, they can’t take him down. However, Nathan simply talks to him in confrontation and convinces Peter that Adam is evil. Peter saves the virus from breaking on the floor in the vault and destroys it. Hiro teleports himself and Adam out of there and Hiro leaves him buried in a coffin in a graveyard somewhere. That was cool, I laughed at that one.
Sylar takes Mohinder, Molly and Maya captive and makes Mohinder test him for the virus. We find that Sylar has been injected with the same virus that Niki was. Sylar shoots Maya and Mohinder heals her with the blood that he took from Claire, afterwards Sylar steals it and injects himself with it. Sylar gets his powers back and that is where the episode ends.
Niki saves Monica from a burning building where she was tied up by the guys who kidnapped her last week, and she doesn’t get out before the building explodes. So it appears that Niki was killed in this explosion. We’ll see what next season brings.
After the incident with the virus at the vault, Nathan, Peter and Matt decide to go public with their abilities. Somehow they get a spot on TV where Nathan starts to announce his abilities and he is shot twice in the chest. We’ll see how that turns out next season also. I kinda doubt that they will kill off Nathan. They will get some more of Claire’s blood and heal him, I am betting.
So who shot Nathan? It shows someone walking off in the background when Parkman looks towards the back of the crowd. My bet is on Noah.
WRITER’S STRIKE PLEASE END AND BRING BACK MY HEROES!
November 26, 2007, 8:24 pm : Episode 10: Truth & Consequences
Filed Under: Season 2Discussion: C[1]mments
Noah wakes up from an infusion of Claire’s blood, after being shot by Mohinder. What we didn’t see last week was that Mohinder is the one who gives him the infusion. Mohinder is now working for the company as a real agent and thinks that the company is in the business of saving people. Noah keeps telling him that he is wrong, but after the events of tonight I don’t know who to believe. Bob doesn’t seem like he is all that evil, but I do believe he is hiding something.
Peter and Adam find Victoria who was some kind of doctor and first discovered the virus in 1977. Peter reads her mind and finds that the virus is in Odessa, TX, but afterwards Adam kills her and leaves a photo of her with the body, just like he did with all the other older generation of Heroes. Somehow Peter misses this part.
Sylar teaches Maya how to control her power and she tells Alejandro to leave and go back to Mexico. However, Alejandro comes back to face Sylar and Sylar kills him, then starts kissing Maya. Of course she doesn’t ever see Alejandro dead. Later on Sylar calls Mohinder, which of course reveals that he is alive, but also we see him sitting next to Molly, who is sleeping. We don’t see where Matt is.
Hiro traveled back to 1977 and saw where Adam was locked up for trying to release the virus and basically kill the whole world. Hiro’s dad is the one who signed the order to lock him up for 30 years.
At the end of the episode, Adam and Peter show up at the paper factory in Texas and time freezes. Hiro shows up to avenge his father’s death and ’save the world’ from Adam by killing him. Peter threatens to stop him and Hiro runs at Peter with his sword. That is where this ep ends, but I don’t think these two will actually fight. I think that Hiro will show Peter who Adam really is and the next episode, which is the last episode of this season due to the asshat writer strike, will end in a cliff-hanger. Not sure what will happen yet, but I bet they will leave us hanging for an entire year.
November 19, 2007, 8:31 pm : Episode 9: Cautionary Tales
Filed Under: Season 2Discussion: C[6]mments
We catch back up with Noah, Claire and family in California, packing up and getting ready to move again. Claire leaves for school, refusing to leave with the family because she thinks her dad is a liar, which of course she is right about. Noah follows her to school later on, only to be kidnapped by West, flying down out of the sky, picking him up and taking him for a ride. Noah and West end up teaming up because West realizes that Claire actually cared for him after Noah told him that Claire lied to him about her relationship with West.
Hiro, during his father’s funeral, decides that he wants to go back and save his dad from being killed. So he travels back, speaks to his dad (who doesn’t want to be saved, but wants to face his destiny) and travels back further in time, with his Dad, to his mothers funeral several years earlier. Hiro, after talking to a younger version of himself, realizes that his father is right and takes him back to the place of his death to day goodbye. Hiro freezes time to see who it is that pushes his dad off the roof and finds that it is Adam, Takei Kensei, from historic Japan.
Parkman discovers that he can not only reads minds, but also that he can put thoughts into people’s minds and make them do what he wants them to. He talks Angela Petrelli about who the last woman in the photo is and comes up with the name Victoria Patrick. I am not sure who that is, but I did notice that while he was holding the photo of the older generation of Heroes (I paused the show and looked at the pic for a few minutes) that Adam wasn’t in the photo. I thought that was kinda strange.
Bob shows up at Claire’s school, calls her “Miss Bennett” and she runs off to home. Mohinder kidnaps Noah at gunpoint and takes him to a meeting with Elle in an effort to trap Claire, but West shows up to help Noah and knocks Elle out. Noah and West take Elle back to Noah’s house and Bob grabs Claire at her house. So Noah and Bob setup a trade of the 2 girls. During this trade, Noah tries to shoot Bob, only to end up getting shot by Mohinder, right in the eye, thus fullfilling the Isaac Mendez photo. So Noah is dead. I didn’t see this coming, I thought they would avoid it.
However, I did say to myself quietly that “I bet they use Claire’s blood to save him”. Guess what. He ain’t dead.
Next Week:
Ok, this writer’s strike is getting to close to home. Tonight on the preview for next week they say “with only 2 episodes left”. Now I am upset. It looks like they face the virus issue again next week and somehow Peter and Hiro get into a fight. Looks interesting, but I am not thrilled overall.
November 12, 2007, 9:36 pm : Episode 8: Four Months Ago
Filed Under: Season 2Discussion: C[3]mments
Peter regains his memory and teams up with Kensei/Adam to “save the world”. I can’t decide if I think Adam is a good guy or a bad guy. Yes, he probably still has it out for Hiro, but that is just a personal thing. Why does that make him a bad guy? He wants to USE his powers. I think that is admirable because I am really getting tired of Niki “wanting to be normal” - whatever the GAC that means. Normal…. pffft.
And yes, Nelle met Peter before present day and that is how he has the Lightning Powers.
It makes sense that Nathan got burned by flying Peter away from the city 4 months ago. That is the face he keeps seeing in the mirror. He feels guilty because he doesn’t know that Peter is still alive. Next week, I am sure that they will meet up again.
And we learn how D.L. dies. That kinda sucked. He could have let that bullet pass right through him. Maybe he didn’t see it in time. And no wonder Niki feels like she wants a “cure” - although I still think that she should be using her powers for something beneficial rather than trying to get rid of them.
And Bob is another kooky character. I can’t figure out if I think he is a good guy or a bad guy. I know for sure that he has his own agenda that is self-serving, but he seems to want to help people. Maybe that is just a facade, I am not sure.
Nothing really new on Maya and Alejandro. We learn how she learned about her ‘abilities’ but nothing really new about them.
Next week:
Next week we will see Peter reunite with many people, including his brother and mother for sure. I am curious to see if Adam and Hiro will meet up and what will come of that, and I am also wondering about Hiro’s dad. I am not convinced that he is dead.
November 8, 2007, 12:51 pm : Strike May Cause Early Season Finale
Filed Under: 'Heroes' in the NewsDiscussion: C[1]mments
http://community.tvguide.com/blog/TVGuide-Editors-Blog/Ausiello-Report/700000049
Heroes‘ second season may be coming to a close a lot sooner than expected due to the forthcoming apocalypse, also known in some circles as the damn writers’ strike.
Sources confirm that the show is going back and shooting an alternate ending to the Dec. 3 episode that, if used, would allow the episode to function as a season finale in the event of a strike. Originally, the episode was only supposed to serve as the conclusion of the current “Generations” arc. Should an 11th-hour agreement be reached and a strike averted (fingers crossed!), the alt ending would likely be scrapped.
In addition, “Heroes: Origins” has been put on indefinite hold due to the strike, but that too would be back on the boards if the strike can be averted.
November 5, 2007, 8:28 pm : Episode 7: Out of Time
Filed Under: Season 2Discussion: C[8]mments
Hiro comes back! Hiro comes back! Hiro comes back! Hiro comes back!
This episode was by far the most explosive and most revealing episode of the season, so far. For the rest of the season, we are going to see some really cool stuff, I am predicting.
So one commenter from a few weeks ago predicted that Kensei was the one killing the modern Heroes. Guess what…. we find that to be true at the very end of this episode. Adam is Kensei. That was cool, and a great way to end the episodes… leaving me wanting for more.
Hiro wakes up in the past, sniffing Opium fumes and finds that Kensei has teamed up with White Beard. The princess gets free, takes away the Opium and Hiro gets them all out of there. But Hiro remains loyal to Kensei and tries to save him, but we see them sword fight which was predicted in one of Isaac Mendez’s paintings. Hiro teleports out of there and watches Kensei blow up, which of course we find out doesn’t kill him. So our prediction earlier this year that Hiro was the real Kensei was partially right.
Mohinder and Noah Bennett get into an argument and Mohinder ends up turning against him towards the end and telling Bob that he has been working with Noah to bring down ‘The Company’. All of this after Niki breaks his nose and he tapes it up, which is predicted in another painting of Isaac’s. So the next thing we will have to watch for is to see if Mohinder really ends up shooting HRG.
Parkman and Nathan show up at the company to protect Bob from Parkman’s father, Maury. Niki and Mohinder join the fight, but ultimately Parkman finds out that he can put other thoughts into people’s minds also and he traps his dad in a nightmare, thus releasing Molly. All of this while Niki injects herself with the virus to get the nightmare out of her head, only to find later that Mohinder’s blood can’t cure her. But Bob says that Claire’s ability could cure her. I’ll be interested to see how that goes.
In the future we find that Peter and the Caitlin are captured by the CDC, Peter meets up with his mom and after a few minutes, he remembers her. And she refers to him as “the most powerful of all of us”… I really want to know what her power is. Peter finds out that on March 20,2007, the first case of the Ashanti Virus is discovered and about a year later it had whiped out 93% of the worlds population. Peter travels back to the past accidentally because he can’t control that power yet and he leaves Caitlin behind. That is when he meets up with Adam/Kensei.
Bob says that Adam was one of the ‘original’ Heroes… and he tells Nathan that he knows Adam was the one killing all the originals. Bob also tells him that Peter is alive and shows him a video which looks like it might be a preview from next week’s episode.
West learns that HRG is Claires dad and gets mad, which I also predicted. But that was obvious. Noah gets mad and tells his family that they are all moving, but Claire says she isn’t going with them. Which I can’t blame her for, Noah is still lying to them all and being a complete jerk. I originally thought that Noah was the main bad guy last season. That turned out to be wrong, but now it might be coming true.
Next Week:
Next week is the ‘6 Months Earlier’ episode where we will find out what happened right after Peter explodes at the end of last season. It should tie-up some strings, but it will probably open alot more questions also.
