I think one significant thing is missing here... Sylar has gone back to being "Gabriel" and his watch face was broken. Is this some indication that he is going a different way? Certainly not a "good guy" as he brained that dude whilst on the phone.

I like to see HRG guy (a.k.a. Noah Bennet) back to being a bad-guy again... well at least sort of a bad guy. Not terribly keen onwhere this is going in Season 2 but its better than watching dumb-ass dramas about court life.

Well he is harbouring secrets again, hunting the heroes and spying on his daughter... all for justifiable reasons... Therefore I put him in the "bad guy" role again.

Girls dad's love me... as long as I am not dating them.


The girls I mean.


I don't date girls' dads.


Or at least, you can't prove it.

Episode 5 was much better than #4. I think that this is because there was 0% emoboy. I kind of like where the crazy crying-oil girl's going, but I was glad to follow up on the Nightmare Man.

However: Matt, are ya STUPID? Letting your crazy dad out of the handcuffs? Going into a locked room with him alone? Christ.

I like Micah's storyline well enough. That might have an interesting conclusion, though the post-Katrina N'awlins bit is a nauseating amount of forced contemporaneity.

Ep 7: Out of Time

So we open with the evil whitey doing what all whiteys do to good Asian people, get them hooked on drugs and trying to bang their women.

We jump to Ukraine where the cheerleader dad is taking photos of the future paintings. He rings the Slurpee Indian doc right in the belly of The Company. Geez, a high tech, high security op like that and no one thinks to intercept the cell phone calls of guys they don't trust? But then this is a guy who doesn't have a problem with shouting "WE'RE SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE COMPANY DOWN TOGETHER" with the door open and someone from the company obviously in the next room. What did this guy get his PhD in, exactly? Was it an accredited university?

The donut eating mind reader cop and flying man also happen to stroll right into the heart of the company to warn the company that his dad is trying to do what they themselves were trying to do since the start of the season: take down the company. They want to stop him because like why? Has flying man passed a comb through his hair in seven episodes?

Peter is in New York with his Irish soda cracker. The city is emptied because of that virus. God, as I've said from the beginning, I hate season long story arcs that involve a virus. Bunch of guys in level zillion biohazard suits come out of nowhere with a suspiciously European siren. Before Peter can zap them or woosh them away with his psychic ability he decides to roll over for them. None of the guys in biohazard suits even seem to be armed.

Cheerleader, meanwhile, finds her flying boyfriend has glommed onto her mom like Bill "Todd" Murray glommed onto Mrs. Loopner. I'm pretty sure the cheerleader mom is up to speed on what's at stake but she doesn't seem the least bit worried some young guy shows up unannounced at her door in the morning, offering to make waffles, and well, come right in.

Back to The Company. The donut eating cop is told he has his dad's Freddy Kruger ability. He can't just read minds. He can do so much more. I always thought the cop has the lamest powers since that fat dyke whose power was the ability to hear people from 8 miles away.

Back to Japan. The sword master guy is upset he made guns for the evil samurai. Guns are going to

a) destroy the way of the sword

b) unite Japam

c) give Japan advanced weapons with the ability to repulse western imperialist control

No no. Don't want that. Yeah, united homogeneous island nations with military, naval, and industrial might amount to nothing. What did Britain ever amount to in the 19th century? The real action is in insular nations full of warring tribes trying to kill each other with swords.

Anyway, despite posting a guard at the door, no one ever thinks to keep a guard inside the tent. So the trio manages to make good their escape.

Peter and his Irish soda cracker are showered in front of each other. Rewind it all you want. You won't see a hint of nipple or even fun bags on her peaches 'n' cream skin. Peter is then questioned alone and told the soda cracker is being deported with other foreigners. I guess that won't spread the virus.

Donut cop is talking to the little girl who is in a coma. He says he loves her. We get a little blip on the brain monitor. Who is this girl anyway? Didn't they just find her while they were trying to kill someone or another? Why does everyone suddenly have some parental hard on for her? Anyway, so our Silas Marner donut cop's love for Eppie makes him realize he can do the Freddy Kruger bit too.

Flying man is talking to the Where's Herb guy who is looking at computer screen with a set of security monitors. A big section of the screen is taken up with a product placement ad for Cisco. We discover Adam Monroe is the real evil guy. Donut cop's dad is just the hired muscle. Monroe was so dangerous they locked him up in R'lyeh with Cthulhu or something. But I guess after a bit of chanting "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" someone sprang him and he was sprung a couple weeks ago. I dunno.

Anyway, wasting away in Virusville Peter meets his mother and she brings back his memories. Or some of them.

Cheerleader and his flying boyfriend are making out while listening to cell phone music. The dad comes home. Busted. Oh but wait. Flying boy recognizes him as the guy who tagged him. Flying boy now wonders what kind of sick biatch he picked up. Dude, didn't you notice your girlfriend can repair her broken body? She's got a power like you? And you don't think there's going to be something whacked with her family?

Hiro and the white devil battle it out around flames and gun powder. Hiro has the white devil on the ropes, offers to save him from the impending explosion, but is refused. Anyway, the camp is nuked. Oh I guess the white devil who can't be killed is dead.

The rage chick injects herself with the virus to end her suffering. No problem, of course, the slurpee Indian's blood will cure her asap. Oh wait. Doh. The virus has conveniently mutated.

The donut cop confronts his dad in dream world. He manages to get his dad locked away in a crappy apartment. Donut cop and Eppie vamoose.

Peter finds his soda cracker about to be frog marched out of America. He has some little spasm and woosh. He's moved in time and space.

Hiro bids the chick goodbye. The chick will tell the stories and history is saved. Hiro was Kensei all this time! Hiro's C3P0'ish friend is at work in cube ville. He's about to tuck into some really boring pencil pushing when Hiro zaps back. Oh joy. But ummm hate to tell you this Hiro, Sulu is dead.

Anyway, back to the company. Turns out they have to save the cheerleader again to save the world. Since she can regenerate, her parts or something can save humanity from the virus. Slurpee Indian has a crisis in faith and tells the Where's Herb guy he's been working with the dad but now he doesn't know who the good guys are anymore. The dad trying to protect his daughter or the big company that made all these mutants and killed all kinds of people. So many shades of grey!

The cheerleader dad finds out about "the boyfriend" and "the article". He's going to move the family again. The cheerleader say she's not going.

Back to Peter in some new location. Out of the shadows comes the white devil guy from the Japanese plot. Christ. We're going to have to suffer his lameness for the rest of the season. WTF happened to Dr. Who they had walking around all invisible? Bring him back. Oh but wait. The white devil guy reveals his name is "Adam". Where'd we hear that name. Oh, could he be Adam Monroe?

I liked "Heroes" the first time it came out as a comic book in the '60s called "X-Men."

Now, I actually expected emoboy to be going after Clare specifically because her father was the nasty badman who abducted him.

I have to question Suresh's tactics of subterfuge. Criminey, that boy's a bit dense sometimes.

#7 was a good episode, I thought, even if it had way too much in the way of emo love story (both between Clare and flyboy and then between Peter "I talk out of the side of my mouth like I've had a stroke" Petrelli and Ms. Ireland. I'd like to see more of "Pointy canine teeth" Sylar; I suppose we'll get to that next episode. I'm at least glad that the cop's homely wife is way out of the picture, as that story arc was WAY tedious.

Ep 8

Alright so we start off in Montreal with Peter and Adam, the former slant pounding samurai. Adam explains Peter probably lost his memories because of the Haitian but he can gain his memories back since he's got that super healing power. He just has to remember what matters most. On cue, Peter pulls out the picture of his brother, flying man. Jump back to 4 months ago. Flying man flies Peter up in the sky and gets badly burned by the radiation. Huh. I thought Flying man looked crap this season, but he looks even worse. How all did he get back his dark dego looks? Peter blows up but he's still okay. He flies down and gets the unconscious Flying man and brings him to a hospital.

Flash back to the rage chick is hospital. Turns out her husband wasn't killed in episode 1. He was saved by medical science. But of course, we know he's dead. So I guess we have to wait to find out how he gets shot again. My money is on suicide by cop. Anyway, Bob jumps out and reveals "the company" is paying for their medical bills. Heart surgeons don't come cheap. Bob will help her lose Jessica. She just has to pop some pills.

Flash back to the wet back chick and her "brother". The whole village is celebrating a wedding. The wet back brother is getting married to the town whőre. The wet back chick thinks it's a bad idea. Turns out she's right. She finds the town whőre doing it with some guy in a shed. The guy tries to put the smack down on the wet back, she leaks oil from her eyes and the guy and the whőre are dead. She emerges from the shack to find out everyone in town is dead. The wet back brother pops up. Lucy, you got some explaining to do!

Back to the hospital. Turns out Peter dumps his brother off at the same hospital as rage chick. Bob has Dyna bimbo zap Peter. Peter drops and looks like he upsets a power droid in the hall.

Peter wakes up in Bob's place. Bob says he will cure Peter. Dyna bimbo keeps fondling Peter. Peter tries to use his powers but it turns out the Haitian can also suppress powers, not just rob you of memories. But now the Haitian is back working for the company? Geez. Weren't all these guys out to take the stupid company down and now everyone is back in their pay?

Back at the hospital the dego mom is with Flying man telling him he looks like crap and he's lucky to be alive.

Dyna bimbo cuts Peter's hair and explains he's being given pills that help dampen the powers. She zaps his head with her electricity. See, she's a mixxxy lil blond and she's into the whole femdom thing. Remember, comic book fan bois are this show's core audience. They gotta give the fan bois what they want. And as it turns out they put Peter in a cell next to Adam, the guy they supposedly locked up and threw away the key. I dunno. Putting him in a cell next to some other mutant with amazing powers and thin walls so they can talk doesn't quite fit my definition of locking someone away and throwing away the key. And Peter doesn't at all notice his "room" looks just like a jail cell.

Jump to the not dead yet black guy, the rage chick, and their miscegenation son. The kid wants to be the fantastic four. If he was an Asian kid he'd have the math smarts to notice they're only 3. The not dead yet black guy announces he has a real job that will make his boy proud. And I noticed the two black characters are bald. Are there any mutant blacks that keep their hair? Anyway, rage chick dumps her pills for whatever reason. The side effects I guess.

Back to the cells. Adam has been so locked away and keyed thrown awayed that he's got a window. Adam teases Peter and then lures him into his sympathy. Dyna bimbo comes in to shock him. She tells Peter about her life. She's never been on a date and she burns buildings to the ground. She turns tail and leaves. Adam offers the rather obvious advice that a chick who shares the same power as the emperor from Star Wars is probably bad news. It's at this point Adam reveals the drugs don't really work. It's a perpetual motion scam. They're always just on the verge of perfecting it. Just invest a little more...

Rage chick is going to sell cars. That's her plan for going straight. But then her evil twin pops out. Oh wait. It's not Jessica this time. It's "Gina". Gina doesn't want to sell cars. Gina is a party girl. She wants to go to LA and meet boys.

Back to the company cell. Peter tries to get some time off. Bob won't let him go home to his family. Adam tells Peter his blood can help heal his brother. They just gotta get out of there. Peter fakes taking his meds and fakes like he's into Dyna bimbo. They kiss and she zaps him with her lips. This is why she's never had a boyfriend. If kissing her will zap you, one can only imagine what waits for you if you rub uglies with her. Dyna chick leaves and Peter goes through the wall to get Adam. They varmoose. They head to the hospital and inject flying man with blood and heal him. But Dyna bimbo and Bob show up, zap them, chase them. Haitian man corners Peter in a shipping container and robs him of his memory. He won't kill him. He's helping him by robbing his memory and sending him to Ireland. Thanks for the favor.

The wet back has been hiding out with nuns a la Sister Act. Her "brother" finds her and brings a cop. It's for the best. Yeah, putting your sister in a South American jail is the best possible thing you could do for a loved one. She leaks mascara and kills the cop. They run.

Rage chick is in LA partying with Ronald D Moore from BSG. Her husband comes to take her home. RDM shoots him and kills him, splattering his blood all over Rage chick. How you like that, huh?

Back to Montreal and present day. Peter regains his memories. Adam says "good shall we save the world?"

[Juregen]

The healing blood.

Something is not right.

We see that when the brain is cut of from the rest of the body the powers don't seem to be functioning.

So the powers came from the brain. But now the blood cures people?

Where is the power base located, brain or blood?
