Heroes: Generations Chapter 5: Fight Or Flight

The links came up 12.30pm; download speed was S-L-U-G-G-I-S-H!! It was done by 5pm.

Anyway, the usual warning: Spoilers!

No Claire today; her part's getting kinda dull for me now. Frankly, now I'm just waiting for West to be a bad guy.

Not much on Hiro. The part where Ando brought the old scrolls to the lab so he could read them better was funny. The look on the lab technician's face was priceless!

Peter's still getting along. Finally he opened the box. You'd think that there'd be a bunch of, well, more interesting stuff in there, but nope. Passport, photo of him and Nathan, and an open ticket from New York to Montreal. At least Peter started painting a bit. That part was slightly interesting. And this new girl Elle (who was looking for Peter) came in and totally burned Ricky's butt off (i.e. she killed him. Ashed him, actually. Haha.). That part was cool. She's got eclectical powers... *nods head violently* Apparently Elle's working for the Company (and so's her daddy. Either that, or the dude she was talking to was her sugar daddy). I sure hope not. That would be wrong, and gross.

I don't know what the big deal is about Kristen Bell. Sure, she's cute and perky. But I find her okay.

Now, for once, Matt's string was interesting. He and Nathan went over to see Maury (Matt's dad, whom Matt haven't seen for 25 years, and they've gotten the address from Molly before she went under), and Maury seemed like a pretty fat, round guy who's totally freaked out (apparently he got that piece of the picture with the 'Godsend' sign on it. Who knew). Anyway, Matt cuffed him when they first came in, and then Maury said, 'uncuff me, and I'll tell you everything.'

Big mistake!! Maury takes Matt into another room, door slams shut, and the next thing Matt knows, he's in a prison cell. Nathan sees the door, tries to bang it down, finally does, and when he goes through the doorway, he finds himself ontop of the Deveaux building, and NYC's totally ASH!!

Maury gets out, closes the door behind him and leaves the apartment.

Matt's in prison, apparently for abandoning his family (he divorced his wife because he found out that the baby wasn't his). Then his wife comes along, with this TOTALLY FAT BABY!! I mean, look at his arm! It's totally chubby! It's huge! Then wife leaves with baby and Matt has fight with prison guard.

On Nathan's front, Nathan's shocked (naturally!) that NYC's dust (since end of Volume 1, NYC DID not explode). He hears someone calling his name, sees someone prone on the floor, and thinks that it's Peter. It's not. Earlier episodes have shown that guilt(?) makes him see a really, really scarred version of himself in the mirror. Well, now Scarred Nathan's in front of him. They fight.

In reality, Matt (who's fighting the prison guard) is fighting Nathan, while Nathan (fighting that scarred version of himself) is actually fighting Matt!! Now THAT'S what I call GOOD TV!! Luckily for our protagonists, Matt figures out what's going on and manages to think(?) into Nathan's mind to snap out of it. Whole apartment's totally trashed, and Nathan manages to find out who's the next target: Bob. His portion of the photo has the 'Godsend' on it.

I like Bob. I hope someone doesn't kick his bucket.

Mohinder brings Molly to the Company because she's deteriorating etc. He sees Niki there, who beats everyone out before snapping out of it (I think that was Jessica before). Mohinder thinks that she's being held against her will, but she's there for a cure. If I'm not wrong, the cure's for her multiple personality disorder. Funny. I thought Jessica'd be gone now that Niki's asserted herself. Guess not.

No Sylar this week. Seriously, they should show more development on Matt's section in this episode. And as usual, questions go unanswered.

In other news: The next My Chemical Romance single will be Mama, scheduled for release: 2007-11-12. Now, that either means November 12th, or 11th December. Honestly, can't everyone use ONE, UNIVERSAL, DATE FORMAT??!! It's really friggin' confusing when you have NUMBERS for DAYS that can also double for MONTHS!! But really, can't wait! Mama took some getting used to, but it's one of my favourite songs on the album! Yay!

EDIT: I didn't go to the mall last week, so I couldn't check out the magazine with Jensen Ackles in it. And I don't think I'll be going this week, since the exams are on next Tuesday. Darn!
