Heroes: Bring on the ewwwwwww
Normally I don’t Meta when I don’t like most of an episode, but this one was too unintentionally funny to pass up the snark. Noah continues to be a moronic douchbag and shove all good advice aside to chase after Samuel Mc Sexy Pants. He drags a reluctant Matt into the mix after Matt tells him several times where to shove it, while cooking no less.
It amuses me to note both Matt and Noah assumed Samuel would be like any other bag and tag when Noah has faced off against Samuel before and lost. The look on his face when Samuel got away made me giggle and roll around on the floor. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. SAMUEL CAN MOVE THE EARTH GUYS AND HE HAS A SUPERPOWERED FAMILY. I don’t think your little guns and mind reading powers are going to cut it with him.
Also not cool using your mind whammy to get Vanessa to do what you want Matthew. For someone who wants to live a normal life you certainly roll over like a dog whenever anyone asks you to. Long story short, Vanessa spills her guts and the Wonder Twins deliver her right into Samuel’s hands. Well done gentlemen Angela would be proud of you.
Speaking of Angela, she randomly shows up at Peter’s apartment after he discovers Emma’s cello at Emma’s apartment. I’m pretty sure a scene was skipped at some point because they may have changed apartments without my notice, but given Angela’s level of awesome she can open doors just by standing in front of them, so I’ll let it pass this once.
Angela tells Peter she had a dream about Emma killing thousands of people and that Peter can’t save her. So Peter, being the genius that he is, decides to take her power and see for himself what is going on. His magic tattoo has also reappeared thanks to Lydia, who is for some reason pinning her hopes on Peter as the new leader of the carnies. The dream then turns out to have a crazy looking Emma playing music while people scream in the background, and Sylar says “Don’t worry I can save you,” in his creepy dirty old man way.
I hope you guys are following this because I’m typing it and I’m confused.
Peter decides to run back over to Emma’s apartment and rather than warn her about the dream or Sylar he smashes the cello like he’s channeling Pete Townsend or Keith Richards. That’s right folks; Peter’s brilliant idea is to SMASH THE CELLO. Excuse me for a moment as I channel the Doctor and say, what did that poor cello ever do to you Peter? Never mind that the other two elements of the dream Emma’s power and Sylar are still in place and he most likely pissed Emma off by destroying the one thing that was bringing her joy.
As much as I love Peter, I cheered when Emma kicked him to the curb for that. Well done sweetheart, well done.
Ando checks Hiro into the same mental hospital as Mohinder and in a plot line stolen from the Three Stooges, Ando gets drugged up and the three of them break out of the place ala O Brother Where Art Thou. Mohinder uses his brain to get them out, and then right away loses those brownie points by suggesting Ando use his power to restart Hiro’s brain.
You’ve met Elle sir, you saw he power. Wouldn’t it be wise to rethink your little plan once you noticed the lighting was red? Granted you were in a bind at the time and Ando was high, I’m assuming you have some common sense.
Next Week: Kato and Adam return to parody the “Devil and Daniel Webster” in Hiro’s head, Samuel continues to be creepy and the sane part of fandom reaches for the brain bleach when Sylar and Claire act out another fan fantasy.
