Incoming from Comic Con: Heroes: SPOILER
ALERT!!!!
Heroes episode 1 of season 3: Villains is packed full of
everything that the fans have been craving since they aired the first
season. Its action packed and chock full of plot. Enough happens in the
first episode that could really be spread out into five episodes. There
are more special effects, more use of everyone’s powers, and more action
than the first two seasons combined. The writers really kicked it up a
notch after seeing that the fans were getting bored with the second
season. If the rest of the season is even half as good as the first
episode then this is going to rock the socks off of everyone. It is
definitely worth tuning into this upcoming fall to find out what
happens.
Here’s what happens in the first episode:
Hiro and Ando are up to their same old shenanigans. Hiro starts the new
season off looking for another way to be a hero. He and Ando go through
their normal interaction, with Hiro being bored with normal life and
Ando saying that Hiro should just enjoy all the money that was left
behind by his father. While they are talking about destiny, which Hiro
has to mention every episode, he gets a video from his departed father.
His father tells Hiro that there is something locked in the safe and
that he must never open it or look at it. Of course, Hiro opens the safe
and finds that it holds half of some formula that the older generation
of heroes has spent their whole life trying to hide. Right when he takes
it out of the safe it is ripped from his hands by some unknown force.
Hiro stops time to see what happened. Some super fast chick ran by him
and stole the formula. For some reason she’s able to break free from the
stopped time and escapes with the formula. Hiro then makes it his
mission, along with Ando, to get that formula back before it destroys
the world.
Peter Petrelli appears in the first episode in a scene of the future.
The world has taken a turn for the worse because of people finding out
about their powers. Claire, gone bad, is holding Peter at gun point. She
shoots at Peter, but of course, he stops time, dodges the bullet and
then teleports back to the present day to stop the reason why the world
found out about their powers. If you recall, Nathan Petrelli at the end
of the second season was about to tell the world about his powers and
out everyone else, but he suddenly gets shot. Well, twist number one, it
was Peter from the future that shoots his brother to stop him from
telling the world about their powers. They rush Nathan to the hospital
with present day Peter in tow, but despite their best efforts can’t save
him. Nathan dies. Future Peter kidnaps present day Peter and “puts him
in a safe place.” He then goes back to retrieve the gun he used to shoot
Nathan with and Matt Parkman catches him. Matt was suspicious of Peter
all along. So, what does future Peter do? He teleports Matt to an
unknown place, out in the middle of the desert somewhere. Peter goes
back to the hospital to find that Nathan is alive!!! How did that happen
you ask? That I’ll leave as a surprise for when the episode airs.
Dr. Suresh and Maya continue their quest to figure out how to cure the
powers. However, Suresh comes at the problem from a different direction
and figures out how to give the powers to people. Maya convinces Suresh
to destroy the concoction, but of course, as he is about to throw it
into the water, he changes his mind and injects himself with the serum.
He passes out only to wake up to two guys trying to rob him. What
happens next will also be saved for when the first episode airs. Don’t
want to spoil every single detail.
OMG!!!! The most exciting story line for me involves Claire and Sylar.
Sylar has stalked Claire and tried to kill her for her powers throughout
the first two seasons. These two finally go head to head in this
episode, and Sylar wins! Sylar has regained at least some of his powers
and he uses them to trap Claire and cut her skull open. The long awaited
answer to the question, “What does Sylar do with the brains” is finally
somewhat answered. Claire wakes up lying on a coffee table with Sylar at
her head feeling around on her brain. She asks him, “Are you going to
eat my brain?” He answers, “Claire!! That’s disgusting.” So, he doesn’t
eat the brains of his victims. He felt around on her brain until he
found the spot that held her powers. Something clicked (not real clear
what happens) then he stands up, looks at a wound he had gotten from
fighting Claire earlier, and he heals. Sylar has finally gotten Claire’s
powers!!! Twist number two, he puts Claire’s scalp back on and she
heals!! He doesn’t kill her. She mentions this to Sylar and he says that
she is not like the others, she can never die. He then states, “Now
apparently, neither can I.”
DUM DUM DUMMMM!!!!
