Heroes: How To Stop An Exploding Man

May 24th, 2007

Two shows (Lost and American Idol) have wrapped up since the Heroes finale, which aired on Monday night…I know, you guys might be thinking, “isn’t a little late to be writing a Heroes blog?” Well for the past two days I’ve been thinking about why a great show like Heroes would have such an anti-climatic ending?

Sure it was great to see all the Heroes get together in true X-Men esque form but all the twists and turns in this final chapter were so predictable and gasp, LAME. Seriously though, how could they have a face-off between the ultimate bad guy Sylar and the super ‘hero’ Peter and not let them have a proper showdown? I was expecting a real kickass fight scene, instead I get a really sweet lamppost whack from Jessica and THAT’S IT.

Need I remind you guys that in Entertainment Weekly the actors revealed to the magazine that they felt this particular episode was like a ’60 million dollar budget film.’ The only thing big budget thing about this episode were the schmaltzy lines that Peter Petrelli dished, a la Spiderman 3 styles…

Despite the fact that the season ender for the best new show of the 06/07 season was a bit of a snoozer, all of the previous episodes compensated for what this one lacked. With that being said, it’s time to sign off but not before I give you guys a recap.

- Mr. Bennet’s first name is Noah. Note: This is the first time in the season that this is revealed. WHY? Because Mr. Bennet is no longer a mean monster, he’s actually a human being and the writers want to remind us…

- Nathan saves the day by flying away with the exploding man (Peter). The big question: Is Nathan going to die? Probably not… The Petrellis are too important to the show.

- Hiro kills Sylar…or not…He’s too good of a character to kill off and with a new villain in town second season there’s potential that Sylar could team up with Team Heroes.

- Simone’s father (the guy Peter was taking care of, prior to realizing his newfound skills) knew all along that Peter was the man to save the world, not Nathan…If only mommy felt that way…

- Hiro is the samurai ‘hero’ – a dream come true

- Simone’s father, Linderman and Hiro’s father were clearly working together before Linderman turned bad…
