Heroes; The Next Day OR Holy Crap, that's a lot of talk for a TV show
As always, I sploil last night and speculate for later.
Heroes, One Day Later.
The story kind of slowed down this week. Apparently, they've decided that Mr. Nakamura will not be part of the Linderman conspiracy. Mama Patrelli, though, she's in it up to her neck.
So, let us take a moment to mourn Ted Kaczynzki, nucyoulear man. He may have had an explosive temper, and a personality that could be considered toxic, but he had a warm heart. Now, Syler has eaten his brain.
Now we have two candidates for the honourable title of Exploding Man, Sylar & Peter. They both have the mojo, and they both seem to have more control, and at least one of them has the callous disregard for human life that would allow him to go boom.
I was wondering, during Peter's countdown, if he'd remember that he can, you know, fly and turn invisible, and could get himself out of the area before he actually went off.
He did use his invisible power later on to escape from the feds, which was smart on his part. I love how Sylar played the feds for suckers. They so stupid!
Bennet is a cold hearted snake (look into his eyes!). Apparently the tracking system is little Molly. What's funny is if Suresh had cold-cocked Bennet instead of Parkman, he'd be home free, because Parkman, dick that he is, has yet to kill any kids, and has a certain amount of affection for little Molly.
Parkman using his ability to get into the building was neat; he used his ability to pull thoughts on the guard, and when he started to go dry, improvised by saying "you didn't want her to find out about your porno". Clever guy.
It was kind of convenient that everyone managed to get to NY, Niki and DL particularly. The problem with shows with large casts is it gets easy to lose someone (whatever happend to Rose & Bernard, for example?). DL's brain punch on Linderman was kinda brutal; mutant, heal thyself, I guess. At least he got to heal Heidi Petrelli.
Hmmm... Was the attack by Linderman's people ever explained? Were they trying to make Nathan 'awaken' his abilities, or was he just getting in the way as part of his DA duties? Linderman's been see-sawing about his old army buddy's son; assasination to bribery to asasination to making president.
Hiro & Dad was an odd situation. I mean, the exproding Man is going to go off the next day. How much swordplay can you teach someone in an afternoon? I mean, sure, one of them has the ability to stop time, so theoretically they could have trained for 20 months. Although the toilet and feeding situiation would have been tricky. At least Mr. Nakamura didn't take his shirt off and start chasing people.
Ando, of course, is acting heroic, which in his case means stupid. Oh, he's gonna get mulched if he tries to go up against Sylar. Appropriate that Mr. Claremont is the swordmaker; could have been Mr. Miller as well.
Someone mentioned that people who have two supers tend to manifest their abilities at puberty (as is the style fo the time) while people who don't tend to wait until adulthood. Claire, even though her dad was apparently latent at the time, manifested at puberty. Nathan and Peter's abilities, for example, were latent until adulthood. Niki's as well, although Micha expressed as a child. If this is correct, we can assume both of Molly's parents were supers; it's possible Sylar took the chill power from the mother and then absorbed whatever ability the father had after using it on him. Did we see evidence he'd consumed the mother's brain as well?
Nathan is also in it up to his knees. Poor Nathan; I guess you'll deserve whatever you get next week.
It seems likely that he will be involved next week, though. Note that we asee Suresh tending a wounded Parkman, looking at a light source that seems to be up in the sky; Niki, DL, Micah and Molly are also in the upper level looking at the same light. I assume what'll happen is Nathan will fly whichever guy is about to go Nuclear (money's on Peter, although Sylar is a possibility, even if he is booked for next year) up, up and away so NYC doesn't get devastated in a glorious act of self sacrifice.
The resolution of the Devereaux situation is also out there. Could Peter have been absorbing his initial presience from Mr. Deveraux, instead of Mama Petrelli as has been suggested?
Ah, well. One week left. Can't wait to see how it plays out.
