Heroes Fall Finale

They’re not serious! They always do it on purpose, bring the hype up just before a big break… What did I do wrong Tim Kring? I love the show and it keeps giving every time. Now that the “Save the Cheerleader” mini-plot is on hold they needed something to bring back the action together. Sylar was caught but is still very dangerous, as always they underestimate the bad guys. This final episode before the Winter break was advertised as the one where one of the heroes “with powers” would die. They did deliver on that but the promo clips were a bit misleading and hopefully did not spoil the fun (I won’t say the answer).
A quick recap of what happens; Peter was arrested because of the Sylar attack but most obviously since it was only his own blood they found on him they could hold him forever. Not until Matt came by along the FBI to do some investigation. It was priceless to see Peter and Matt meet as it is known that Peter can absorb powers of those around him. The show goes on with extra development with “The Haitian”; an un-named character that displayed unusual powers in the past. The final 10 minutes we’re the ones to wait for when we see Peter’s health degrading and slipping into a coma (after effect of multiple powers absorption we’d say). At this precise moment he gets a kind of vision/premonition of what might actually happen concerning the destruction of New York. It’s pretty clear that they could use that as a twist but it was hard to guess they would use that card now. The show loves to bring more questions as it answers some of them… we got to see pretty much everyone in a set of sub-plot but we’ll have to wait until January 22, 2007 before a fresh set of episodes emerge. I really love that show. (Period)Previous post: Heroes
