HEROES

Wow, what another great show. Some serious tests for our heroes, and all of them are falling flat on their faces.

Isaac as it turns out, cannot paint the future without his heroine. Man your heart has to go out to him. It showed him last night, his eyes turn white. It is really cool.

We get to see Nikis alter ego in action last night. First Micah lets his mom know he knows about her stripping on the internet. But doesn't want her to go be a whore as its too dangerous. But all her debt will be repaid if she sets up a congressman, who just happens to be the guy who can fly Nathan. When she can't follow through, Nikki's alter ego takes over and does what she can't. First kicks the tough guy's ass who threatens her and Micah, and then goes and finishes up the deal and now Nathan is caught on tape.

Of course as their paths cross there will be more interaction. Nathan goes to Las Vegas and falls into a trap set by Niki and the Vegas casino owners. He has now been caught on tape. And as he and Niki sleep, Sylar shows up and I think they capture Nathan.

Matt found himself strapped to a table after being drugged the week before. And it seems the bad guy can either cause a hero to lose his ability, or at least block Matt from reading minds. Whatever it is, it didn't look good for Matt. I hope he lives through this as I think Greg Grunberg is a great actor and would be a great asset for this show. In Lost, they kill him off in episode 1 or 2.

Dr. Suresh, gets all excited as he thinks he finds a hero. But when he confronts Nathan he is treated as a crazy man. This seriously tests his faith and he is ready to give up completely until Peter shows up. Peter doesn't realize yet his power isn't flying. I think he just absorbs others powers. So when he is near his brother he can fly. But away from him he cannot. And he is having a hard time convincing Suresh now that he is for real and not a nut job himself.
And when they go to talk to Isaac, he is on a heroine high and painting like mad, so he doesn't let them in.

Claire had a most interesting show. She wakes up on the autopsy table and has to put her chest back together and runs home. Her stepdad/badguy realizes she's been out all night. When she goes to school she surprises the QB who tried to rape her the night before and killed her. He is a little shocked as well. Everyone tries to say they don't remember a thing. Then Claire finds out he has raped other girls in the past and will probably continue to do it. So she gets him to let her drive his car and rams it into a wall. WOW!!! Good girl taking up revenge. This was a bit extreme.

And finally Hiro. One of everone's favorite. His friend has a gambling obsession and convinces Hiro to use his powers to help them win at poker. After a while, they are thrown out of the casino. Hiro says he won't use his powers for economic gain anymore, when they are met in the ally by one of the gamblers they ripped off. Hiro is knocked out with one punch.

But the show ends with Peter and Suresh travelling on a subway and time is frozen. Only Peter can move around. Then Hiro, or should I say a future Hiro shows up. Small goatee, Katana strapped to his back and speaks perfect English. Not nearly the chubby little wimp we love so much. Hiro looks, totally awesome. He has a message for Peter.

That is how it ends. WOW!!
Every week I love this show more and more. I only wish the story would move a bit faster and 1 hour a week is not nearly enough. My wife, who wasn't sure she would like the show to start, is now a huge fan as well.

So until next week.
