Heroes
ZOMG!!!
All the way through this episode I knew it was building up to Noah's death, but I convinced myself that somehow it wasn't going to happen. Has Isaac ever been wrong? No. Noah died and I was sad
THEN...the ending. ZOMG! He lives! Huzzah!!!
Wow, so Claire's blood has the power to raise the dead. Oh, the potential. She has to be related to Adam somehow. Right? Their powers are identical.
I loved the bit just before Noah got shot where he was asking West about his car. LOL. Awesome!
The rest of this episode wasn't really of interest to me. Matt has become his dad. Oh dear!
Hiro has found out that Adam is alive and that Adam killed his dad. Oh dear!
NOAH LIVES!!! YAY!
Hehe!
I think I need a Noah icon. He is pretty much my favourite character these days. Although I am increasingly amused by Bob. I loved his eyerolling when Elle asked if she could keep Mohinder. Hehe! Incidentally, did we know Elle was Bob's daughter? Did I miss that from a previous episode
NOAH LIVES!!!

And if they didn't bring back HRG I would have tracked down Tim Kring and hit him over the head with my tv.
If anyone should have died it should have been Mohinder - grrrrr....

I pretty much hate Mohinder now, and I don't think I'm getting over it.
I think we suspected Elle was Bob's daughter, but we didn't know until she called him Daddy in this episode.
Right up until the last minute, I kept expecting West to change sides and reveal himself as a plant for the Company. In spite of how skeevy I found him before this episode, I guess I'm going to have to admit he appears to be a good guy. :) I loved that car moment too! Male bonding sweetness FTW!

Awesome episode!

Yeah, I'm probably thinking too much about all the characters being related to each other. But I do thing each of them has a power matched to someone in Linderman's little gang.

I'm really starting to groove on Elle and KB is losing the Veronica Mars persona. And yeah, we were pointed in the direction that Elle was Bob's daughter back when she went after Peter and she was on the phone doing the "Yes, I know, no it won't happen again, yes father." conversation (or at least that's the conclusion I came to).

Yes, I really liked the scene with Noah and Elle where he was telling her that Bob gave her the powers. He might have been lying, he might not have, but the seeds of doubt have now been planted MWAHAHAHA!!!
Thankfully I didn't watch enough of Veronica Mars for the persona to stick

Ethical dilemma two - Matt's new found powers... I can see how it'd be easy to go astray with them, like manipulating his boss, or forcing information out of people. As a cop to both be able to read minds, and command them is a tremendous boon, as one of this Generation's heroes, it may be what stands in the way of ultimate loss. However, like Hiro's powers, if you used it wrongly, the consequences would be dire. I was reading a Star Wars novel once, it's set in the new Republic where Luke's set up his new Jedi Academy - there's this guy who's been able to use the force all his life, mostly he just got a bird to dance on one foot occasionally, it took him a long time to realise that he was exercising the dark side of the force and that there was in fact no good in what he was doing. Yet he couldn't see any bad either. It's even harder if you can see good - which brings us round to Lord of the rings and what Gandalf tells Frodo - I would use this power for good, blah, blah, blah!
Ethical dilemma three - Claire's blood (Adams too for that matter), who deserves it? They've saved Noah (and can I say huzzah for that, and hope that Noah rebalances now that part of the prophecy has been saved), however is he more deserving than the guy caught in cross fire at the local BuyMore? Is he more valuable to humanity than the diplomat who died in a car crash? More vital than a doctor who contracts a disease as he works to save others?
So many questions - just how far can someone with these abilities go? What kind of morality do they have to develop to deal with them responsibly? And how do you deal with the temptation? Heroes isn't the only place these kind of ethical dilemma's are covered - there's also Pushing Daisies. Where Ned has to distance himself from people, for fear he'll use his powers and bring someone back from the dead, at a cost of another life. He of course fails (spectacularly considering he brings back the very gorgeous lovable Chuck), and thus has to live with killing a man.
You've no idea how happy I am now that Heroes is back on track (I was enjoying it - but I didn't realise how much I missed season 1 till now - and that shows in that there's been no long comments for a few weeks).
My mammoth post continued
I loved West in this episode, he wasn't just a whiney cry baby, he stood up and was a man. Facing down Noah, not letting a girl mess with his brain (like Simone did with Peter and Isaac), though he was wrong, he at least wasn't standing for it. He got to fly and be a hero, yay!
Mohinder, I still love him. Even though he shot Noah - it was the right for him to do. But he never tried to explain to Noah about the virus, there wasn't a whole lot of time to be fair - but still maybe he could have shown him what was happening. I'm guessing it's Mohinder's idea to save him - though Bob will want another talented human around who is a match for most
mutantsPeople with New Abilities (they're not allowed to be referred to as mutants because of the deals behind the X-Men movie deals, and Stan Lee's involvement in conceptualising Heroes, and being one of it's backers).I feel sorry for Mohinder, he's caught in the middle of all this - scientifically he knows more about what's going on than anybody, but the social aspects, and challenges, plus the world ending disasters - with the trust issues of all these different people with reasonable arguments for and against each other are too much for him.
Claire's coming into her own again - she's standing up, ready to be counted. She's prepared to sign on the dotted line for her blood to save the world. But she's so much more than that, we've seen that when she saved the guy in the railway crash.
Though Claire couldn't stop Peter or Sylar, since they could both kill her and Adam. That said, Sylar couldn't kill Peter. (Sylar with his powers back), why? An atomic bomb. Peter could obliterate every single cell in their bodies, there'd be nothing to grow back. One presumes the science behind their regenerative abilities requires some kind of core component, with stem cells (though in that sense, Claire has a better chance having a higher number of stem cells given her gender and age). However Peter himself has protection from his own radioactive ability, since Ted didn't kill himself when Claire was being fried to a crisp.
Which is why we need to get Sylar with his powers back - he needs to counter balance Adam and Peter, unless Peter realise Adam can't be trusted. Roll Nathan's part in all this.
Though I've had a thought, can the Haitian stop someone's healing powers? And if so, can he stop Peter's ability to learn powers? Indeed, could the Haitian? I don't think so. I think they would have been force feeding Adam the Haitian pills if so, as then he'd age. Which means in fact Peter, even with every ability under the sun, can still trump everyone and block their abilities - including Matt and Hiro.
Squee!!!!
How fabulous was this episode by the way? Huzzah!!!
