Season 3 Heroes air tomorrow

September 22nd, 2008 | Category: Heroes

Tomorrow will be a wonderful day for all Heroes fans.  Finally, after months of waiting, the first two episodes of Heroes will be aired.  I am very excited to see the return of our favorites characters like Hiro, Sylar, Claire, Mohinder, Peter, and more!

The season 3 theme is Villains.  Thus, I am expecting a lot of actions and cool visual effects.  I hope this season will be as thrilling as the first season.  We need more villians to keep our heroes busy.

As for me, I want to see cool new powers.  I am looking forward to mysteries and secrets in the story.  I just cannot wait to give the review for each episode.

Heroes 2×11 Powerless

December 05th, 2007 | Category: Heroes

The season finale ended with Bang Bang!

The last episode for volume 2: Generations does not let fans down. All the main characters in the series are shown together in one episode for the first time. There are more deaths than the previous episode and of course, more action than all the volume 2 episodes combined. Besides that, the ending also leaves us with more things look for.

The first is the existence of Volume 3: Villains. The title for the next volume is already exciting as we may be seeing more enemies. This will mean one thing, more action! Yeah, that’s what we want for Heroes! More explosions and more fights. I can’t believe that Volume Two’s major antagonist is a self regeneration – almost similar to Linderman’s healing ability. Those kinds of abilities are quite a contrary to the usual villain powers in regular comics or movies. Come one, villains should be destructive and not the other way around. I just hope that the new enemy does not have the ability to “love” or “give happiness”. LOL. Of course, our favorite badass, Sylar, will be on a more deadly role as he going to continue collecting more powers from unsuspecting “heroes”. FYI, he is cured from the Shanti virus at the end of the episode.

So far, only the good guys are dead in this episode. Another bad guy, Adam is not technically dead. He is just trapped six feet underground. Poor Hiro – with all his fabulous time and space traveling, he still cannot kill Adam. But, I think it is OK since Hiro should show a good example to our younger views to not to kill even if the person is your enemy.

Not so good news for Peter’s side as Nathan was “Banged Banged” by an assassin at the end of the episode. It is a surprised as their mother knows about it. Apparently, the Company means more than her children. The battle between Peter and Nathan + Matt + Hiro shows us how strong Peter is. Even the three cannot defeat Peter physically. I cannot believe Matt is unable to stop Peter with his new developed mind control. Imagine what Sylar can do with such powers if Peter is difficult to be handled with. I suspect that Volume 3 will be another confrontation between Sylar and Peter.

Meanwhile, another hero death occurred in New Orleans. Nikki came to rescue Monica and in the ended got herself trap in a burning building. Unfortunately, the building exploded with Nikki still inside. I think she is dead and no Claire’s blood going to save her. Poor Micah. No more dad and mom. I think Micah will change in the next volume. This event is pretty traumatic for a school kid. Micah may be joining the bad side if Monica does not look after him well.

There was already a hole in the chest before Sylar shot herEh where did the cross coming from?  Did Sylar just shot a cross at her?

At Isaac’s loft a.k.a. Mohinder’s lab, Sylar shot Maya after she knew that he killed his brother. No no no she is not dead because Mohinder injected her with Claire’s blood which was supposed to be for Nikki. Maya was unable to save anyone because her power is pretty much a double edge sword. She could kill Sylar but she would have killed Molly and Mohinder. Wow, I just realized one thing, Maya’s, Molly’s and Mohinder’s names all started with the letter M! What a coincidence! Well not for Elle as she came to hunt down Sylar to make her father proud. Unfortunately, Sylar still too smart for her. I think Elle will get killed in the next volume. I just have that feeling. She is pretty childish and that is pretty dangerous when going up against smart Sylar.

In conclusion, the last half of the episode is going to satisfy the fans. More actions can be seen in that part. I hope the next volume will have more thrills and spills than the current volume.

Hmm.. I wonder if Sylar has the power to create illusions….. OMG, I can’t wait for the next volume!!!!!

Heroes 2×10 Truth and Consequences

November 29th, 2007 | Category: Heroes

Everything is going so fast in this episode!

Episode Title
“Heroes” is one of my favorite prime time show this year and unfortunately for us, the series is going to end in one more week. Due to the writer’s strike at Hollywood, the total number episodes for the second season are reduced from 23 to 11. Why, you ask? It is because there is no completed script for episode 12 and so on. Rumor has it that episode 11 which is going to be the finale for this season has to be “re-shot” in order for the drama to have a decent ending.

The “Truth and Consequences” episode mainly revolved around Micah, Hiro, Peter, Claire and Sylar. Micah lost DL’s firefighter medal and sneaked out with Monica to get it back. Hiro went time traveling to the year 1977 to discover about the Shanti virus and Adam Monroe (Kensei).

Peter tracked the virus creator who is one of The Company’s founders, Victoria Pratt and read her mind to find out the location of the Shanti Virus storage.

Peter and Adam defeated Victoria
Claire and family were still grieving for Noah and gave Elle an ultimatum.

Clair warns Elle
Lastly, Sylar helped Maya to learn how to use her power. He also secretly killed her brother and held Molly hostage.

To review, I am happy that Monica was back in action. This time, she performed acrobatic actions to break in the gangster’s house. It is always interesting to see what she can do with the muscle mimicry ability. Micah also showed off some of his power too by turning off the street lights so that Monica could break in undetected by the neighbors.

Maya got to use her power again and this time she did not need any help form her brother Alejandro. Meanwhile, despite having no power, Sylar could still kill. In my opinion, Sylar is still the best villain in Heroes. This time, he manipulated Maya and this could mean one bad situation since Maya possessed destructive power.

There was one thing that I did not like about this episode is that how fast Sylar and Maya travels. What mode of transportation that they used to travel so fast? If by car, it is impossible in one day and if by plane, where did they get the money from? Did Sylar and Maya killed more people along the way and stole their cash? Well, I guess that is not important since the drama storyline is being cut due to the strike. We could only use our imagination.

Hiro vs Peter! Oh no!!!!!

The episode left us with an exciting cliffhanger! The battle between 2 good heroes! Hiro and Peter! I hate it when we have to choose sides for who will prevail from the fight. I hope that Hiro could beat Peter and made him realize that Adam was using him for destroy the world. However, I think Peter is too much for Hiro to handle since he has Hiro’s ability of controlling space and time continuum and other powers too. It is IMBA I’ll tell you. IMBA! *IMBA means imbalanced. If you play a lot of DoTA, you will be very familiar with the term. However, my prediction is that Peter will win. I hope Hiro will not get killed because I read news that 2 heroes are going to die by the end of this season.

So, that is my review for this episode. I really can’t wait for the finale next week. I hope the ending will be as awesome as last season’s or even better.
