Heroes: Generations Chapter 11: Powerless

Well, this is the final episode of the current Heroes season, since the Hollywood writers' strike isn't resolved yet, and no writers means no scripts, and no scripts means no stories. And no stories means REALITY TV ALL DAY!!! ARRRGHHHHHH!!!

(Meh, spoilers)

Niki goes to save Monica, building's burning and finally blows up. That's really lousy. I mean, Niki's one of the regulars... And Monica should really watch Assassins. There's this scene where Antonio Banderas breaks his thumb and slides his hand out of the cuffs. Now THAT's cool...

Matt and Nathan go to intercept Peter and Adam in Texas. Nathan flew and Matt rode on his back. Heehee. Hiro got to do his "FLYING MAHNN!!" routine (gosh, I miss that), and they go in to stop Peter. (Seriously, Peter's really gullible this time around. My mom doesn't follow the show and even SHE knew that Adam was the bad guy at first glance. She was like, "Why's Peter talking to that guy? He looks bad." Then I said, "Yes he is, mom. He was Mr. Sark in Alias.")

Elle is rebuked by Bob for messing up the stakeout (Claire discovering her last week was still the funniest thing to happen). She's upset, so after talking to HRG (who's still alive, yay), she goes to Bob's office and checks his spy cams. And sees Sylar in Mohi's lab. Ooo...

Claire's so boring for me, I'm not even gonna bother.

I thought this episode was okay. The best part was when Maya starts freaking out about her brother (she finally finds out that Sylar killed Alejandro) and Sylar rolls his eyes, turns around and shoots her. Really, from the exasperated look he had, Maya had that coming a looong time. Anyway, Maya is Reversed, as Sylar told Mohi to test the cure on her first. If she comes back to life, he'll take it to heal himself, 'cuz he has the same strain of the Shanti virus as Niki (Oooo...).

(I saw forums; someone said that particular scene was like Sylar saying, "Let's bring Maya back to piss the fans off!" That really made me laugh. Not that I hate Maya or anything, I just found her storyline dull. She was like Matt in Season 1. And she was a bit too gullible and kept saying "GAH-bri-ELL..." all the time. She REALLY had that one coming... Pity her brother though).

Anyway, Elle comes along and saves everyone. But she didn't get Sylar though.

Press conference. Nathan's about to tell everyone that he could fly when he gets shot. As everyone's crowding around Nathan, we see someone walking out of the room. Looks like HRG. Darn.

End of Volume 2.

Volume 3's called Villains (now that's a cool opposite-thingy there!), and we see Sylar use the cure on himself, and try his telekinesis out on a poor, unsuspecting spinach can. (My first thoughts were, "First Spock, now POPEYE!! He's on FIRE!!"). Telekinesis works.

(Ironically, even though Vol. 3 = Villains, initially Sylar isn't going to be in it much, because Zachary Quinto's doing Star Trek, but with the strike on now, by the time he's done filming, he'll be able to come back to the show, and make everyone's lives miserable. Nice.)
