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
