Chapter Eleven
"Fallout"

Ok... first off... this is the last new episode untill January 1st!!! I'm not used to watching these kinda shows. So can you say cliffhangers? Wow! The last 10-15 minutes of this show was nuts. How many cliffhangers can ONE show have?

Niki/Jessica realizes that if she wants to keep Mikah and D.L. safe, she can't be trusted so she turns herself in to the cops. Good drama right there.

Loved the scene where Matt and Peter are reading each others minds at the sametime in the interogation room.

Matt and Andrey are onto Bennett and know he has something to do with Sylar. I like these two characters together, I think they have good chemistry in an odd way.

Looks like Sylar is escaping and Eden killed herself so he couldn't take her power.

Haitian is double-crossing Bennett and asks Claire if she can keep a secret instead of erasing her memory. I still don't fully understand his power. He can obvsiously mess with people's memories... but how is he interfering with Matt's powers? Can he shut down other "specials" powers?

Isaac and Hiro finally meet! It's really cool that the characters are meeting, and believe each other about having powers. Isaac especially. He sees an "exploding man"!! And Hiro finds out that he's going to fight a dinosaur with a sword according to another painting by Isaac... and Hiro's response: "I have to find that sword" lol.

Peter meets Claire and they know each others powers... and then Peter has another one of his weird dreams... and it looks like HE'S THE EXPLODING MAN!! WTF?! Is he really though? He dreamt he could fly too, and well... he didn't really. So we might not have met the exploding man yet.

All in all a great show. Quick Rundown of Cliffhangers or new info from this show: Sylar escaped, Eden killed herself, Haitian double crosses Bennett, Niki turns herself in to cops, it's an exploding man that causes the disaster (not a bomb), Peter dreams that HE's the exploding man, Matt and Audrey are onto Bennett... wow. This was NOT the show to miss this week.

Heroes - Episode 10: Six Months Ago

Episode 10: Six Months Ago

I think Heroes is getting better each week. This week they brought us six months into the past to give us some answers... and give us some new questions. Probably the most important thing we found out this episode is Sylar's backround... his powers were never that clear, but he seemed insanely dangerous... and after seeing this episode, and finding out what his powers are exactly, it becomes clear that he's even more dangerous then we originally thought. It seems that Sylar takes the powers of whoever he kills. It's not exactly certain just how many people he has killed... but we know he has telekenis, inhuman strength, either invulnerable or has healing powers... and I'm probably missing some too.

We also find out a little more about Niki and her psychotic alter ego... and more importantly just why she's psychotic in the first place.

Seeing where Hiro went and what happened was also good. Added some nice drama to it, and shows that he might not be able to change the past no matter what he does.

I think Nathan has the potential to be a villain... and a great villain at that. Obviously he didn't fly out of the car and let his wife almost die in the car accident on purpose... but it just adds to the fact that he wants nothing to do with these powers, and is getting very frustrated with his brother for pursuing this. It would be easy to see his whole polical carreer go down the tubes because this gets out... and him blaming his brother for the whole mess. The character also shows a mean streak from time to time.

I think I covered most major things that happened this week.

So next week... I've heard that someone dies. Is it going to be DL being shot by Jessica/Niki? Or someone else? I can't think of any of the "specials" that could die... Ando maybe? I hope not. Dunno. Wait and see I guess.

George Takei is Hiro's dad!

George Takei has been cast to play Hiro Nakamura's dad on the show Heroes (NBC). Could casting be any more perfect? Hiro, played by Masi Oka, is a character that has the power to teleport and bend time (for lack of a better explanation) and is obsessed with all things sci-fi and comic books. Takei... for those who don't know (shame on you if you don't) is most famous for playing the role of Sulu on the original Star Trek.

Masa Oki as Hiro Nakamura on NBC's Heroes.

Lost was awesome last night... but Mr. Eko died. I really liked that character and was surprised at what happened. He was one of the more interesting characters... and he never finished that church either.

The show ending with Locke saying that Eko's last words were that "We're next..." was cool. What the hell is that black cloud anyways?! Is it man-made? Because it makes those weird noises... and last season when it finds Eko, you can see glimpses of his past in the cloud.

Anyways... I think seeing those two new people is kinda funny. I don't even remember they're names. Usually on Lost you get a little more of a character intro... these two goofs are just suppose to be some of the original cast aways that we've never seen before.... which makes perfect sense since there is like 40 of them anyways.

Nice tension between Jack and Creepy Ben, and nice twist with Juliette basically asking Jack to kill the SOB.

And a new mistery guy!! With an eye patch no less!! lol

Anyone else notice that the people from the back of the plane have bad luck on the Island? With Eko dead... he joins Libby and Ana-Lucia. I think theirs only Bernard left (Rose's hubby).

Next week's show is going to be the last one till Feb is it? Boooo!!!
