Heroes 3.13: Duel - Recap

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

Nathan finds Peter standing over Arthur’s corpse. Peter admits that Sylar did it; there was no other way to end it. Now the formula has to be destroyed. Nathan explains that it’s too late; he’s going to finish what Arthur started. Twenty marines have already been injected with the formula. Peter tries to shoot Nathan, but he can’t, so he knocks him unconscious instead.


Back at Primatech, H.R.G. summons Meredith. Now that Arthur’s dead, Peter will need their help. They’re joined by Angela and Claire, just as the lights flicker off, and bars slam down over the windows. Sylar is back and he’s put Primatech on lockdown. Holed up in the security office, Sylar broadcasts over the PA: tonight, he’s going to prove to them all that they’re monsters, just like him.


H.R.G. hands Claire a shotgun, telling her to protect Angela at all costs. He and Meredith are going after Sylar, who gets to work on Claire, reminding her that the others betrayed her. Angela doubts they can stop Sylar, but Claire is confident she can. There’s a vulnerable spot on the back of her head; if something was jammed in there, her brain would shut down. Sylar must have the same vulnerability.


Matt thinks that Hiro can’t cause any trouble, since he’s still stuck in time on the flag pole. Daphne’s not so sure — if Hiro dies, the past could change the present. Ando, Matt and Daphne proceed to Mohinder’s empty lab, hoping to find him, but no dice. Daphne figures that Mohinder is at Pinehearst and rushes off to get him.


Another entry in Mohinder’s log: time is running out. The infection in his lungs is fatal. Injecting himself with the formula is his only hope. Peter appears to hold Mohinder at gunpoint and announce his intention to destroy the formula. In a sudden whoosh, the EpiPen of formula vanishes out of Mohinder’s hand. Furious, Mohinder attacks Peter, only to be stopped by Flint, who threatens to burn his face off.


Knox offers to help destroy the lab, confusing Peter. Flint explains: if the formula works, then those who already have abilities will no longer be special. Mohinder protests — not only is the formula highly combustible, but Peter is siding with these villains over Nathan, who only wants to do good? Peter begins to destroy the lab, explaining that Nathan isn’t in charge anymore.


Soldier Scott enters Arthur’s office just as Nathan revives. He reports that Tracy stopped the injections, so Scott is the only one who’s received the formula. Scott promises to stop Peter, but Knox snaps his neck in a flash. Smiling, Knox admits that he’s working for Peter, who’s one of the good guys now.


Nathan tells Knox that he’s backed the wrong horse. Peter always winds up losing in the end. Knox is surprised that Nathan hates his brother so much. Is he afraid that Peter will top him? Claiming he’s not afraid of anything, Nathan attacks Knox, but it’s not long before Knox has the upper hand. Just as he’s about to deliver the death blow, Knox freezes and shatters into a million pieces, courtesy of Tracy.


Matt puts his hands on Ando and doubles over, his mind overwhelmed with voices. When he comes around, he explains that it was like he could hear every thought in the city. When Daphne touches Ando, she goes back a few minutes in time. Meanwhile, Claire drags Angela down the hall towards Level 5. When she lets go of Angela for an instant, Sylar steps in to taunt Claire about her allegiance to H.R.G.

Heroes: Episode 3.5 : Angels and Monsters- Recap

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

Download Heroes Episode 3.5 “Angels and Monsters”

Arthur Petrelli is the leader of the villains. If you didn’t want to be spoiled about that fact before watching tonight’s episode of Heroes, neither did I. But NBC, in an effort to ruin television, ran promos announcing this very fact. I understand that ratings are down and Robert Forster is what passes for a big-name guest star on a show that has never regained the heat it had in the beginning, but revealing a huge spoiler about the entire premise and history of Heroes in a commercial during Knight Rider is truly reprehensible.

Nathan Petrelli has trouble sleeping because he can’t tell the difference between angels and monsters. Maybe that’s because the opposite of angels is actually demons, but Dan Brown must hold the copyright to that title. Nathan still thinks his powers are a gift from God, but Tracy knows that her powers came from Dr. Zimmerman. In the epic battle of science vs. religion, science wins this round.

Nathan gets an even bigger kick in the pants when Angela lets him know his power of flight is was also grown in a test tube. Angela requests their assistance in tracking down the Formula so experiments like the ones done on them will never happen again.

Peter, still frazzled from his future journey where he took Sylar’s power, snaps Sylar’s neck because he can’t accept their fraternal connection. Angela refuses to answer the now insane Peter, he starts slicing open her head to get to the gooey secrets inside. Sylar, now invincible, recovers from a snapped neck and knocks Peter out before he kills their mother. Angela takes care of her newly demented son while her formerly demented son goes out with HRG for some villain-hunting. It’s hard to believe that someone who talks to ghosts is the normal one in the family.

Claire’s two mommies fret over their missing daughter, because she’s out hunting Level 5 villains. Todays’ bad guy can create black holes out of thin air and send objects into a vortex so they’re gone forever. I don’t understand how Black Hole Man isn’t the most powerful person ever, since he can essentially get rid of whatever and whoever he wants. Claire sneaks up on him with a tazer, but he responds by tossing the tazer into a black hole. The villain tells his sob story and Claire learns that maybe not all villains are so bad.

Just then a Mexican standoff ensues when HRG and Sylar bust in to capture Black Hole Man. He thinks Claire set him up with her dad, but Claire is too busy being horrified by Sylar. Black Hole Man causes a distraction with a black hole and flees, leaving Claire to work out her seriously conflicted feelings with the whole situation.

Claire and HRG track the Black Hole Man down, and HRG orders him to create a black hole and suck Sylar in it. Claire, for reasons beyond all logic, is against this. The Black Hole Man, convinced that he’s actually a hero, refuses, and instead he creates a black hole and throws himself into it. There’s a difference between being a martyr and being an idiot, and Black Hole Man falls into the latter category. If I had his power I would rule the world.

Mohinder is still the fly, capturing neighbors and drug dealers and sticking them in his web while he makes false promises to Maya about curing her. This storyline would be boring even if it weren’t a total rip-off of a Jeff Goldblum film. Maya sneaks in and sees the people cocoon’s Mohinder has amassed in his loft, but Mohinder finds her and traps her in his cocoon.

Hiro tries to talk Adam Monroe into helping them track down the Formula, but the man who killed Hiro’s father isn’t very happy about being trapped in a coffin since the end of season 2. When Adam refuses, Hiro stops time and traps him in the coffin again, causing Monroe to call Hiro a “Japanese Nazi.” After accusing Angela of being the villainous mastermind behind the missing Formula, Adam offers to help find the real leader of the villains.

They go to a bar for help, but Adam Monroe tricks Hiro and Ando and escapes, because, as Ando explains, they’re the “worst heroes ever.” Unfortunately for Adam, he’s knocked out and captured by Knox, who has teamed up with Daphne on the order of Linderman.

With Knox, Adam and Hiro on board, Linderman commands Daphne to get one more member for their group: her future husband Matt Parkman. Daphne agrees, although she figures out Linderman isn’t really there. What she doesn’t know is what Heroes finally reveals in the final minutes: Linderman is a creation of Maury Parkman! That’s right, Matt’s crazy dad is back, making Nathan think he’s talking to God and orchestrating the team of villains.

Meanwhile, Angela has another future dream in which Tracy, Nathan and Peter are all dead at the hands of a mystery man with the apparent ability to paralyze people. The man in Angela’s dream is also the one pulling Maury Parkman’s strings. He’s being kept alive on a respirator, and his name is Arthur Petrelli! If you were shocked, you didn’t watch the previews or read the first paragraph of this recap, because a perfectly awesome twist was totally ruined by the promotion department of NBC.
