HEROES --- .07%
TELEVISION What a long wait for a new episode of Heroes! It was truly satisfying, and a little sad as we most likely won't get to see one of our heroes again.
.07% is the title of the episode referring to the number of people who will die if Peter explodes NYC.
Isaac Mendez – I know that the death of Isaac (or, as I’ll miss Hiro call him, Mistah Esahk!) was foreseen but I’m hoping that we can still see him again, possibly when Hiro and Ando return from the future, and before Sylar slices his head open. But Isaac had no real powers to fight Sylar, and having been killed while crucified to the floor against one of his painting is probably a pretty good sign that we won’t get to see him going forward. It’s always sad when one of the hottie boys gets taken away.

Peter Petrelli – we were spared seeing Sylar slice open Isaac’s head but that didn’t stop us from seeing part of Peter’s head get it. Ouch! I could feel his pain as the blood started to drip down his forehead. And he was forceful enough to push Sylar to the other side of the room. So when Peter became invisible, I‘m assuming since he didn’t get very far away he was trying to be quiet, but did he not think he would get hit by a shard of glass that Sylar had suspended in mid-air? Peter’s hair was slicked back after he wakes up at his mother’s home. I’ll miss the way his long hair drooped over his right eye. Maybe it will come back.
Claire – At the Petrelli home, Mrs. Petrelli attempts to make nice with her granddaughter. She wants to ship Claire off to Paris, but this is only to avoid bringing up her illegitimacy during Nathan’s election. Mrs. Petrelli is both sympathetic and cold when she tells Nathan to let the girl (Claire) have her moment with Peter’s body. It’s a good thing she did that or Peter could still be dead. When Peter comes back to life, is it just because the shard of glass is no longer pressing against his brain or does Claire show some of the same signs of restoring life that Mr. Linderman has shown?
Nathan Petrelli – when he’s talking with Linderman, he sees the painting of himself in office. Linderman tells him that they “all have their role to play” and that Peter’s “curtain call” will come the day after Nathan becomes elected. Are we going to lose hottie boy Peter too?
Matt Parkman – when we first see him, that same ugly bug is in the foreground that we saw when Sylar was imprisoned at the Paper Factory. Matt hears instructions from HRG to help them escape. He can’t do it alone and needs HRG, and Ted, to get him out of there because, let’s face it, Matt isn’t the smartest cookie in the jar. The jump cut editing worked well to accent his confusion. Later at the diner, Matt calls HRG middle-management and finds it funny when he realizes that HRG doesn’t know who Linderman is.
HRG – it felt like a Twin Peaks moment when he, Matt and Ted are in a diner and he recommends a piece of Cherry Pie. They are leaving on the next bus for NYC.
Mohinder Suresh – has dropped Peter’s body off at the Petrelli house and was asked not to say. So, he still thinks that Peter is dead. Back at the apartment, Suresh holds a card with primatechpaper.com printed on it and says to Thompson that he isn’t the one he called.

Jessica/Niki – she wants to keep Micah away from Linderman, telling him Micah wasn’t part of their deal. Later we see her turn Micah over to his flunkies but realize that it’s actually the shape-shifter Candace. (Candace opens up the episode posing as Claire to HRG, who realizes right away it’s an imposter.) Linderman tells Jessica he wants to “borrow” Micah, but for what reason? Linderman asks Micah if he would like to save the world.
Hiro Nakamura – he and Ando are five years in the future, wondering how they can get back and make changes to avoid the impending disaster. When they go to what would be the Sylar-inhabited Isaac apartment, they see ropes with newspaper clippings---a timeline---hanging from the ceiling. We hear a sword being removed from its casing, and when he looks up, Hiro is confronted with himself. The future Hiro looks very serious. Has it been established exactly how he loses his accent?
