The Shift of Power
Episode Recap: "Truth and Consequences"
I'm so pumped for next week's episode that my mind can't focus on what just happened!
We knew Noah was alive. [To think Jack Coleman was originally cast for just five to six episodes is mind boggling.] I felt awful for Claire, but why would she want to erase the memories of her father? I understand her guilt, but her memory loss plan really bothered me. The last scene, after Claire dumped her father's fake ashes, was priceless. Elle fumbling with her keys after blowing her cover and Claire putting her fist through the car window shows the shift of power. Claire has never been one to run or show fear, but losing a loved one changes you. I wouldn't mess with her. How effective will Elle be with her arm in a sling? My vote has always been on Claire, but rumor has it she won't be the Elle-showdown we're waiting for. Apparently, Miss Electro runs into another "hero" and he/she doesn't play nice.
Noah Gray-Carey impressed me tonight. Our little Micah showed so much emotion and fight. I knew his greedy cousin stole his backpack. Monica dressed like the comic book hero St. Joan (Joan of Arc?) and tried to steal back D.L.'s medal. However, she was caught and her abilities are no match for gun power. I'm hoping Micah runs and gets his mom. I miss Niki and her power.
One twin down, one to go. Alejandro and Maya never bothered me. I didn't care for their storyline, but I didn't make it my life purpose to hate on them every week. Are the twin-haters happy? I wasn't impressed by how easy Alejandro fell nor was it clear if Sylar got his power. I threw up a little in my mouth when Maya and Sylar kissed. Ugghhhh. Sylar won the girl's heart, but can he steal her brain? Charming.
Also, for those who are still dumbfounded by Sylar's power. He knows how things work. That's why we hear the clock ticking before, while and after he makes a kill. The powers lie within the brain, so he performs malpractice worthy neuro-surgery and learns how they work. Once he figures out how that specific power "tics" his brain can use it to his advantage. His power seems similar to Monica's. Well, that's what I think. I've been reading many people's comments and some were still confused by what his initial power is. By the way, did Zachary Quito share a personal trainer with Milo Ventmiglia?
We met Victoria Pratt for about five minutes. Adam knew she would reach for the shotgun once she was untied. He
knew he was going to kill her before they arrived at her house. How did they know where she lived anyway?
Hiro is back to saving the world again. Ando said it best, "Why is saving the world always your responsibility?" He's Hiro! Duh. I can't wait for the Hiro/Peter showdown.
When Hiro traveled to 1977, he saw a young Victoria and Kaito stop Adam from stealing a virus. Victoria said that he must have had help (Adam's "disciples") if he knew where to find the virus. Strand 138 of the Shanti Virus must be an airborne strand with no cure. I think The Company and Victoria were trying to mutant the virus so that it could kill someone with cellular regeneration. Someone like Adam. They must have known, even then, how dangerous he was. Maybe the research went too far and to unleash it for it's original purpose would not only destroy someone like Adam or Claire; it could also cause human extinction. I could be completely wrong, but Bob stated once again that The Company's main goal to is find dangerous people with special abilities. Again, this is why I think The Company falls into a gray area (see last week's blog). I would
never side with them, but I think it's best to say "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". (It's just a quote. I know I'm asking for major comment criticism here, but people can argue all they want. Good people make bad decisions.)
So, Sylar has Maya and Molly. Will Mohinder be able to save them all? I know there's a lot of Mohinder hate going around and yes, I've stated that he makes ridiculously dumb choices, but how can you
hate him? Every time you think you want Mohinder off the show just think back to season one when he helped stop Sylar in the future. That should bring your dislike for him down a few notches. I could never hate him, he always does what he thinks is right and even geniuses get it wrong sometimes. Plus, he is the best looking character on the show!
Spoiler Alert:
Two THREE heroes die next week. Or fall? Or die and then get
resurrected? Will it be heroes we know and love? New or old? Who do you think it will go to hero heaven or hell?
