Heroes Episode 25 "Lizards" Review
Chapter 2 Lizards

Overall Rating: Whew!

Last week it was gulp, but this week it’s a whew. So many people avoided death in this episode I lost count on the sighs of relief I gave out…

Ricky, Blackie, Georgie, Peter Petrelli and Caitlin

So these Irish small timers were sent in to rob a container that happened to be swapped for an amnesiac Peter Petrelli. I’m guessing the Company planned this without letting the trio and their benefactor McSorely know. Enter Caitlin, new love interest for Peter.

Super cool factor, Peter using a bunch of powers this episode: Spontaneous Regeneration, Intangibility, Telekinesis and Super Strength!!

Noah Bennet

He know something about this revenge arc! A series of eight, and he got the one that foretold Kaito’s death. So whoever killed Kaito is either the ninth or a new guard hired. But Kaito did recognize him and said of everybody he trusted him the most. So it’s either the first or there will be a series of double crosses later on. I still say Kaito’s killer was Mr. Claremont.

Claire Bennet and West

The OMG moment, Claire learns a little more about her power while West stalks her!

Ando Masahashi

Umm, so what’s going to happen with Ando? Wonder if he’ll figure into the rest of the season or how for that matter.

Matt Parkman, Angela Petrelli and Nathan Petrelli

Makes sense that the DNA symbol was part of Mr. Petrelli’s law firm like everyone else. And holy shippers, Angela and Kaito had a fling. That means a remote chance that Kimiko could be…definitely not Hiro. I remember his mother’s name was mentioned, or that was a total lie.

“We did something terrible, now someone wants revenge.” Hmmm.

The other OMG moment, Angela caught on to Parkman and screamed in her mind “GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!” Spooky.

Another red herring moment, as Nathan appears, Angela is attacked. But something I noticed, electricity was lost and she was attacked in the dark. Last week, a viewer came up with a theory that Kaito’s killer has the power of umbrakinesis, can manipulate darkness and shadows (like Obsidian in the DC Universe).

Hiro Nakamura, Takezo Kensei and Yaeko

Very entertaining set of scenes with sobering Kensei, Hiro posing as his hero, the Battle of 12 Swords, and discovering the reality of Takezo Kensei’s super powers. After I read his bio on the Yamagato Fellowship website, after Kensei killed himself, the dragon breathed life into him and he arose granted immortality. Looks like he has the same powers as Claire, very cool.

Bob

Quite interesting to see his office so cluttered compared to others we’ve seen in the Company like Linderman or Thompson.

I read online that Bob’s power is most likely Chrysopoeia, transmutating things to gold, specifically. Okay, that’s a weird one but whatever.

Mohinder Suresh

Meh. He seems like the third wheel so far, no real characterization like last season but to move the plot along, it’s okay for now.

Maya and Alejandro

Yikes, Maya’s power is to emit pathogens?! Yuck. That’s got to be the weirdest and most dangerous power ever. I wonder why an evolution like that is necessary…to wipe out us innocent non-powered folk? Gulp. Alejandro at least seems more beneficial to society, he can send antibodies and cure diseases. Was it just me or did that faith healer have a power, too?

The Haitian

Yey, he’s saved and teaming up with Bennet, too!!

Other Theories

We’ll see Niki, Micah and Sylar by next episode.

I’m guessing one of the other Company founders dragged Sylar into the manhole last season and they gave him the shitty vacation treatment that Peter got, too. Why, well they are both two of the more dangerous yet useful ones out there. They both can copy powers and if the Big Bad can figure out how to use them to his advantage…

On an unrelated note, I made a big effort to stay away from Lost spoilers but a classmate of mine is an extra and he blurted out what the episode he was in was about and I wanted to choke him. :P

Ando's a main caster now, so I figure he'll be in just about every episode this season. He's got to have something to do.

My friend wondered if Angela and Kaito had a kid. I suppose it's possible, but I don't really see it...not of any of the characters we've seen, anyway.

Chrysopoeia? Man, I haven't even heard of some of the names you're using for powers, but I don't think this one's all that weird. A little more specific than we may've thought, but not unusual.

What if Maya and Alejandro developed their powers as a defense against disease? That's what humans could become to ensure survival, right? Immunization works when you have a little bit of the disease in you, so maybe Maya's problem is she has that but at times sends too much of the disease to someone else.

"Ando's a main caster now, so I figure he'll be in just about every episode this season. He's got to have something to do."

Oh that's right! I'm guessing he's going to be investigating Kaito's past to try to find the killer.

"Chrysopoeia? Man, I haven't even heard of some of the names you're using for powers, but I don't think this one's all that weird. A little more specific than we may've thought, but not unusual."

Haha, yeah, I figured transmutation was good enough but we've only seen Bob turn a spoon into gold so..most of the names are straight out of the show text, some like umbrakinesis is from a super powers database website I found.

"What if Maya and Alejandro developed their powers as a defense against disease? That's what humans could become to ensure survival, right? Immunization works when you have a little bit of the disease in you, so maybe Maya's problem is she has that but at times sends too much of the disease to someone else."

I now remember that Maya and Alejandro said they were twins, I'm thinking one power got split between the two. Maya can create the disease and Alejandro can control it. Kind of like how Niki didn't realize she had super strength until her dead twin personality told her.

Maya right now reminds me of Infectious Lass from the Legion of Superheroes, last season but you now, hotter.

Who is Mr. Claremont?

Excellent round-up as always. :)

"Who is Mr. Claremont?"

Mr. Claremont runs the Jittetsu Arms shop and repaired the Kensei sword after Sylar froze it. Kaito returned in this episode and came from the employee room and revealed he knew about Hiro's powers.

"Excellent round-up as always. :)"

Thanks, I feel like a space-sucker when I see all the one line posts online.
