HEROES – Four Months Later
TELEVISION The sun rises on a new dawn… and it was worth the wait. I liked this episode because we were caught up with most of the main characters, it set up some new stories, and left me with lots of questions and still wanting more. There were a lot of little details presented and not everything needed to be explained all at once, but I do want to know everything!
The Bennets are now on the west coast. Claire is in a new school where she is in the closet about her powers. But her new buddy, who may have sensed she was different, confirmed it after hovering outside her bedroom window. Looking like a younger Peter Petrelli, he flies off into the night. Since her real dad, Nathan, and Uncle Peter can fly, will this be a real turn-on for her? Can we assume he’s a good guy and not a bad guy?
Suresh is lecturing about a killer virus and meets Steven Tobolowsky (Memento), who can turn stainless steel into gold. There is a power I hadn’t considered wanting until I saw it. Suresh is working with HRG on a plan against his old company. Matt Parkman and Suresh have joint-custody of Molly. Since Parkman and Molly are my least favorites, I’m hoping that she will have a great storyline to draw me into them. Or I’ll continue to be disappointed that Matt didn’t die when he fell out the window last season. (Maybe she’s having too many nightmares from eating too much pizza!)
New heroes Maya and Alejandro are hoping to get across the border. Can’t wait to see how she moves when aggravated. I can understand why she would lash out at the drivers, but why the others in the back of the truck?
Over in 1671 Japan, Hiro will probably step up to the plate to become the hero he’s looking for since Kensei isn’t all he’s cracked up to be. Nice casting when David Anders, who played Sark in Alias, took off his mask and appears as Kensei. 
Who is killing off the first generation and why? And who was that masked man, uh, hoodied person who went overboard with Mr. Nakamura (George Takei)? He recognized and never expected who was going to kill him. I have no clue who it would be, but the least likely person would be his son, Hiro. Perhaps he learned something in the 325 years he traveled. There are a thousand possibilities, but we’ll have to wait and see how it plays out.
Nathan is drinking too much, but not too far gone to throw his mother out. It’s too bad he couldn’t continue with his political career, but he had to save his brother and world, let alone the cheerleader.
Peter’s locks are cut. (I'll miss them but he’s still cute as hell with his hair slightly buzzed.) Questions: how, when and why did he get to be where he is, and where did he pick up his lightning flash power?
