I seem to always do my Reviews last. Well, I watched this episode like 2 days ago, so my Memory's a bit vague. Oooh, I just remembered everything.
So starting off where we left the last episode: Hiro releasing Adam Monroe. A Great Comedy Scene, and it was funny to see how Hiro was in Control of Adam and dominating him, then a complete 360 happened later. I didn't see that whole Bar thing coming lol. I should have known better that Adam wouldn't keep his end of his bargain. So how did Knox know Adam would be there; wierd.
Morphine spoilt the Ando Death for me completely. I dunno how he/she did it, but he/she posted the ANDO'S DEAD thread in the Theories & Speculations section BEFORE the episode even aired! So I saw Hiro stabbing Ando from quite far away. However, during the episode I was just thinking, there's no way Ando dies in this episode; nothing is really indicating it, like it usually does before a character dies.
On a more lighter note, there were such fantastic comedy scenes in this episode with Hiro, ESPECIALLY: the: "We are tough badies" or something like that, and they did that riddiculous posture, had me in hives. And then when Ando said: "We're the worst Heroes ever!" or something like that.
Like most/other theorists, I do not believe Ando's permenantly dead either. I believe/trust in Hiro that he knows what he's doing, and with that IQ of 180 of his, knows what he's planning to do 8 episodes ahead. Just kidding. But there should be a really smart Hero, who really plans out a strategy of how they're going to defeat a villain, like 8 episodes before, and it should all just come together. That would be cool, and that Hero would forever be worshipped. Of course some Heroes are just beyond saving... *ahem* Maya *ahem* which leads me to my next point.
The Character of Maya is beyond saving, as it appears to me. She will never captivate, or catch-on with the majority of fans. It's quite sad too. I do find that whole crying thing she did in Season 2 annoying, but Maya imo has gotten better, and to me, she was neccessary, because I was under the impression she had something very significant/important to do at some point. I mean, her power.... Her Power... despite her crappy character was a quite interesting one, and she should have mopped the floor with Mohinder, he REALLY shouldn't have survived that long.
HOWEVER, however, however: It's been proved in the past, that talking to Maya emotively or singing to her (Alejandro), basically, audio calms her down and stops her power, so what can you do? - If it had happened differently then I'm 100% you'll all be saying; "Hey! i thought if you talk to her nicely her power stops. Something else, I found really authentic about this scene is how, Maya noticed the blood on the floor, left Mohinder, aware that he had been a bit strange lately; then came back later to investigate - It's such Human Nature. If you go to your boyfriend/girlfriend's apartment, you're not gonna be looking on the floor first, or looking for blood. I watched that scene quite carefully, to look out for blood and whether she could see it yet, because it was quite a tense scene. She noticed it at a natural time, when she was naturally looking down and made a run for it, which was Natural. It's Human Nature to be curious, so what did she Naturally do? - Come back to investigate. What followed with Mohinder returning was typical! it always happens. If you were a Maya fan, you would have been crapping your pants for her - it's only .... Natural. And what followed was only... can you guess what I'm about to say? .... Natural.
My heavy word stress of the word Natural brings me to my next point. Repitition: "Angels & Monsters"; Meredith Flame Scene - aaaargh! If I see her do that one more time...I'll stop watching! Angels & Monsters WAS said alot but you see none of this annoyed me, or I noticed it subliminally, but it didn't ruin the episode for me. It was only when someone pointed it out to me, that negativity about the episode occured to me and it dropped my rating of the episode.
Nathan - dies every episode. Prediction: Next Episode: he will die. So Nathan & Tracy are Synthetic. I can see maybe a Divide of Super-powered people, categorized as: Synthetic & (aaah... what's the other one - Atruisic!) Well apart from that, i haven't got much more to say about them. Apart from: I hope next episode you see Nathan fly-tackle Mohinder or something into the wall. Surely, you'd love to see that.
My memory is so jumbled, because I've had to watch Heroes three times, twice for 2 different Subject assessments then on TV, and it was a different episode, so I can't tell, was this the episode with the Vortex Man. He was Uber-Cool, I'm really hoping he comes back. I personally don't think he killed himself. I think the Vortex just takes him some where else. Loved how Claire found out that not everything is Black & White. And the bit when she hit the Vortex guy with the electric/zap/stun gun thingy - yeah!
that's my "yeah!" moment for this episode.
Love the bit when Claire comes home to Sandra: "Meredith?" then it cuts to that creepy puppet Man scene. I'm surprised nobody mentioned that it was quite a stupid thing for her to go to the Puppet Man since she'd get trapped too, if Claire was there. With the whole amount of Criticism going on for the episode. BUT I'm not trying to help the Critics! Although that Meredith - flame thing, If I see it one more time... Meredith = Claire's Bio Mom - Claire = Peter's Uncle, which brings me to Claire's Uncle and Granny.
Peter going "Sylar" on Angella; I was really hoping he wouldn't kill her. It seems so strange now. When Angela was first introduced, i thought nothing twice of this woman. Then I grew to hate her and wanted her dead, as I learnt how caniving she was during End of Season 1-Season 2, and now I can't really tell whether she's a Villain or an Anti-hero, and it's an element that just makes me think it's really neccessary to keep her on the show from much longer.
Which brings to me my final point.
what a shocking end. Well not neccessarily. Somehow I knew all the answers as if it was Innate Knowledge, yet I was still shocked. Linderman - Maury - Arthur
- I remembered Guaxini's theories, and they all hit the nail on the head. I'm guessing Arthur froze Angela in her vision, and I think that's his power. It's difficult to explain and quite creative. It's not Hiro's ability, it's not Cyrokinesis, but it's not Matt/Maury's Mental Powers, but beyond that. He was able to get into her dream and freeze her from in there, and now she's stuck like a statue. I believe that has nothing to do with the Puppet Man as well. And: Arthur is SUCH a Villain! Pure Evil - killed off 2 of his Kids, without blinking twice, or at least those are part of his intentions....
Ok... it's getting too long now - I'll wrap it up. Great Episode for me. Don't think anything can top last week's for a while though, but great nonetheless.
PS: I'm joking about Not watching again because of one silly Meredith fire thing. Just having a bit of fun with the Critics, Paradizing (<that CANNOT be a real world - oh well) /Parodying I think is the right inflectional morphological lexical term, their previous posts. Although that fire thing does get to me lol
