October 22, 2007, 7:38 pm : Episode 5: Fight or Flight
Filed Under: Season 2Discussion:
We don’t see Sylar, Claire or West in this one. And the time with Hiro in the past is pretty limited, which is fine with me. I am kinda getting tired of that story-line and ready for Hiro to come back and join the gang.
Peter is still in Cork and hanging out with whats-her-name. Sorry to see that her brother got fried on this episode, but we get to see Ellie and finally learn where Peter got his lightning powers from. He must have met her previously to this season. And it was cool to see Isaac Mendez’s powers come back to life and to see Peter paint something again. He is re-discovering what he can do. I can’t wait for him to turn invisible again.
Parkman and Nathan track down Parkman’s father and for a minute I thought maybe his dad was on the good side, but turns out that was wrong. That is a cool power he has, similar to the illusion girl that Sylar killed last week, but not exactly. And I am still waiting for Nathan to fly again, so far this season he hasn’t really done anything. Also I am curious about this melted-face version of himself that he keeps seeing. What does it mean? Why does he keep seeing himself this way? Guilt from his thinking that Peter is dead?
Micah and Monica learn about each other in New Orleans and Monica shows that she can mimic everything she sees, not just what is on TV. So I was right from last week, unlike some of the unsuspecting commenters on this blog >:0 - so again, it will be interesting to see about when she sees these other Heroes use their powers, if she can mimic them.
I think that Mohindar taking Molly to ‘The Company’ was a mistake. HRG didn’t like the idea and I think he is right.
I think this episode is contained some good action and started the story rolling a little faster than the last 4 have done.
Next Week:
Finally Peter is going to stop running! Maybe we will finally get to see him kick some more ass soon. And Sylar confronts Alejandro about his powers, that should be fun. HRG and the Haitian seem to get tanlged into something also, but I couldn’t tell what.

the mimic-chick is a MUSCLE-mimic, she can’t shoot lightning or read minds, only mimic body movement.

Mohinder needs to DIE, he is such a pussy.

i think Mohinder did the right thing with Molly, what else was he supposed to do? her vitals were going bad and no hospital could have helped her…

perhaps, but I bet he will regret it later.

I doubt that Peter got his lightning power from Ellie, as you suggest. It makes much more sense that the power we saw him use was the EMP effect that he absorbed from the fire guy. We saw him use it against Sylar in the alternate future episode in season one.

We never saw any lightning or electricity from the nuclear guy last year. You could be right, but it seems more likely that Peter would have met Ellie in the previous 4 months that he can’t remember.

Well I guess I have to eat my words! We see in Episode 8 that Peter really did meet Ellie between the time he exploded in New York and the time he appeared in Cork.
