Heroes: "Cautionary Tales"

[Bishop37]

Wow, what an ending!

Good to see George Takei back if only for a little while.

There were some nice FX but no sign of Mr Muggles!

4/5

That was a very good episode. George Takei, and the rest of the cast were great.

Did anyone catch how Kristen Bell's character is now very wary of her father? I'm wondering if Bennett's death/sacrifice for his daughter had an effect on her views regarding her own father?

Also Matt has to be asking questions about his new ability after pushing Mama Petrelli. Does he dare find the woman in the photo? Does he dare use that ability again?

And is Claire's healing factor the same as Kensei's leaving her as the eternal cheerleader?

I just rewatched last night's episode on tape.

I thought that it was pretty dark and forboding when it started out and I was dreading to see if Noah would be shot by Suresh or not. When Noah pushed the gun away the first time that Suresh pointed it at him, I thought that was the moment where things would change. I was wrong - I hated seeing him shot and what it would do to Claire and her family afterwards. Seeing Noah resurrected because of the curative powers from Claire's blood was interesting and surprising. Now that he's been brought back to life and his injuries healed, will the regenerative effect be permanent, or just temporary?

The story thread with Hiro and Kaito was bittersweet. I really thought that Hiro would save his father from being killed, but in the end he saw the wisdom in his father's words and allowed him to die. On one hand, he got to say goodbye to his father, have his father tell him how proud he was of Hiro and also got to find out who Kaito's murderer was. The bad bit was when he realized that it was Takezo Kensai that killed his father out of revenge for falling in love with Kensai's girlfriend. It took 400 years, but Kensai finally got what he wanted. How Kensai/Adam ties into all of this is still the question for me, unless it was because he was kept imprisoned for 30 years and to what end?

It's sad to think that we only have two episodes left, but I keep wondering how much will be resolved so quickly. I'd like to think that Kring held some of the story elements back for when the show goes back into production when the WGA strike is resolved at some point. This season had a disjointed start, but it's going pretty good now.

I think the only reason they brought Noah back was to try and bring him back to their side. "See we meant no harm with Claire." .:stab:.

With Matt's new revelation with his power, it seems as though there will be another side thread with his fight to not abuse it.

And yes, Bob's daughter is beginning to wonder.

It was a really good episode.

And the previews for next week indicate another really good one.

There were a couple of things that I forgot to mention...

One was the scene were you saw Bob's face after Noah had been shot. I just got the impression that it was something he regretted, but then again, it could have been his daughter's attempt at killing Claire and West. It was hard to be sure.

Another bit is that I'm really not happy with Mohinder these days. He seems far too willing to turn on Noah and even kill him over doing what he thinks is the right thing, but can't even be sure if he is doing the right thing or not. It seems quite a price to pay on a personal level for such a gamble.

As for Elle, I really despise her.... Bob did such a good job screwing her up, I really don't see any redeeming characteristics in her. She's pretty twisted and is little better than a high-powered assasin of sorts. I don't like her, I wouldn't wish her dead or anything, but I'm betting that she either changes her ways, or gets exactly what she deserves in some way or another.
