Heroes-It's the Brak I mean Nathan and Sylar Show
Tonight’s episode should have been called the Nathan Petrelli hour, because Adrian finally got to flex his acting chops in a big way. Not only that he got to run around wearing tight jeans, and a few days worth of stubble, mmmmm stubble. *blinks* Sorry what was I saying. Anyway, Angela decides it’s time for Nylar to learn all about himself, so she brings over a box full of junk…I mean memories.
Nylar picks up a toy plane and after a quick flash back of the cutest kid ever, has gained a new happy memory. He is unsettled by this, but Angela’s bright happy face scares him into picking up his baseball cap and he then learns a girl might have died in a pool while Nathan watched…ooooo.
Nylar gets even more freaked out and so following other memories, he dashes over to the hospital to see Peter. Peter is either freaked out about his encounter with Noah earlier, more on that later, or meeting Emma and Samuel last week killed a few brain cells, because the fact Nathan causes a container to fly into his hand right in front of him does not set off any alarm bells with Peter at all.
*sighs.* Oh my hot mama, you may have grown a pair, but you really have lost your brain along the way. It’s been three years and Nathan has not shown any sign of powers other then flight. You would think Peter would be making for the nearest exit and calling Noah or Claire. I guess Nathan getting down on one knee in front of you was enough of a distraction that it didn’t really matter.
Nylar confesses about dead girl, Peter throws science around and Nathan decides to go see dead girl’s mom for answers. And dead girl’s mom turns out to be Millie from last volume. I love Swooise I really do; she has turned Millie into a cross between Vivian from Pushing Daises and that aunt who pinches your cheeks at the family reunion.
Turns out Millie believes her daughter Kelly ran away and new and improved Nathan, after learning Kelly actually came on to his young hot self then knocked her head on the diving board when they were playing a game of. “Let’s be cute on dangerous equipment,” tells Millie the truth. Millie understandably freaks out and has Nylar drugged, shot and buried in a park.
*stares* Wow Millie you just stole Angela’s stone cold woman of the year award…well done.
Of course, it isn’t Nathan who digs himself out of the ground, but a terrified Sylar who pops out of the grave, turning this officially into the Zachary Quinto show. I’ve said this before, I love Zach I do, but there are other people on this show, not just you honey. You don’t need to be in every freaking episode everyone else gets some time off, so I think its Sylar’s turn too.
I mean now we have Body Sylar and Head Sylar, until Nathan regains control again. Which I hope happens soon otherwise, cut Adrian loose and let him do some real work.
Tracy tries to get back into her old life only to discover she isn’t the same “woman” she used to be. I could have told her that. *sighs* Noah suggests Tracy do some real good by finding out who she is and now ice woman is off on her own road trip to find clone/triplet number three. I hope you find your own Luke Campbell sweetie otherwise even the male fans will start to get bored with you.
Hiro tries to reconnect with his sister by offering to give her away at her wedding. Ando reminds him he’s dying and might not be around for that. Hiro is in major denial about the whole death thing and blows Ando off to go save some random guy from jumping off the roof.
Random guy is so unhappy in his job he decides to copy his butt every chance he gets and Hiro tries his best to stop the butt copying to no success. Thusly he decides to talk with random guy about life, the universe and everything and both realize they’ve been in denial about their various issues.
Hiro confesses to his sister that he’s dying in a tender scene that makes me weep a little even with subtitles. Thank you writers for finally figuring out Masi can act even as you forgot Hiro already learned the “can’t save everyone” lesson with Charlie.
Noah continues to eat cereal, have cute scenes with Claire and look fantastic in anything. Peter even stops by to show Noah the tattoo from last week, only it’s gone now. Milo and Jack then stand so close together I wonder if they both have keys to Adrian’s trailer. Claire pops in to have a bit of sexual chemistry with Peter and Noah too, and then Peter zips off to have sexual chemistry with Nathan.
Claire offers Noah advice about going into middle management again, lumber this time, and Noah cutely wonders if Claire has become his parent and he then decides hunting specials is what he does best and he makes a mental note about trying to find the Carnival of Super Freaks.
This as it turns out, makes Samuel a very unhappy, yet sexy man and as a picture of Noah appears on Lydia’s back he swears revenge of the worst kind on our favorite Horned Rimmed Glasses Man.
I hope there is sexual chemistry involved.
