Heroes Recaps

Filed under: OpEd, Heroes, Episode Reviews, Reality-Free(S03E12) So you think your last office birthday party was bad? Well, you've obviously never invited Sylar to one of your gatherings. That was the main thing I learned this week: if there's an invitation list, it's better to keep Sylar off of it… Read More

Filed under: Heroes, Episode Reviews, Reality-Free(S03E11) Well, that was a whole lot of hullabaloo about nothing. I know, I know can't spoil anything before the jump. Can I say that I'm really enjoying Hiro these last couple of episodes? Maybe all he needed was to be a 10-year old boy. In fact, I w… Read More

Filed under: Heroes, Episode Reviews, Reality-Free(S03E10) We've reached the climax of this volume of Heroes. With the coming of the eclipse the first time, abilities manifested in our plethora of characters, or at least some of them. Or at least it was a catalyst of some importance. Now Claire is a… Read More

Filed under: Heroes, Episode Reviews, Reality-Free(S03E09) It's a shame that nobody's watching this show anymore, because tonight was all about setting the stage for the battle to come. With "Volume 4" coming either in December or early next year, we should be moving fast and furious to the big conf… Read More

Filed under: Heroes, Episode Reviews, Reality-Free(S03E08) Maybe they should have done this one a little earlier in the season. There was only one scene set in the present era, but it was a good one. The rest of the episode was "One Year Ago," weaving and interlacing with the events we did see durin… Read More

Filed under: Heroes, Episode Reviews, Reality-Free(S03E07) Have you noticed how quickly an episode of Heroes goes by? It's not a bad thing, but it just goes to show you how much they pack into each episode. It helps that they're juggling forty to fifty storylines at any given time. It's one of those… Read More

Filed under: Heroes, Episode Reviews, Reality-Free(S03E06) Say what you want, but I think this episode continued the good streak established last week. It looks like, after a shaky start, the Heroes train is finally back on the track. All it took was some patience. That's a good sign for the rest of… Read More

Filed under: Heroes, Episode Reviews, Reality-Free(S03E05) "Suresh. Yeah, he's harmless." Nathan telling Tracy that maybe Mohinder can help them.Ah, the irony. Those who were harmless are suddenly finding themselves much more dangerous. In fact, the three sweetest characters from past seasons, Peter… Read More

Filed under: Heroes, Episode Reviews, Reality-Free(S03E04) A lot of people have said in the comments that it appears as if I don't like Heroes. Believe me, that's not true. I'm actually a huge fan of the show. As a huge comic book junkie for more years and dollars than good sense will allow me to ad… Read More

Filed under: Heroes, Episode Reviews, Reality-Free(S03E02) Mama Petrelli is going to be trouble this season, isn't she? I wonder how much of the flak the show is taking now is because they've had to restructure their overall plan due to the strike last year. We already know they'd intended to unleas… Read More

Filed under: OpEd, Heroes, Episode Reviews, Reality-Free, Episode Recaps(S03E01) If you were a little disappointed with last year's strike-shortened season, not to mention that horrible diversion south of the border and that other lengthy one to feudal Japan, Heroes is looking to get back on track w… Read More

Filed under: OpEd, Heroes, Episode Reviews (S02E11) When Kristin offered up the chance to review the Fall (Season?) Finale of Heroes, I couldn't resist stepping in to help. While this episode lived up to a lot of the promises of the season, much like last season's finale, it may have been a little l… Read More

Filed under: OpEd, Heroes, Episode Reviews(S02E10) For the second to last episode of the season, I found tonight's show a bit slow. It had it's cool parts--I even have dedicated a section to them at the bottom of the post--but I looked at my watch a lot throughout the episode. Overall, I think Heroe… Read More

Filed under: OpEd, Heroes, Episode Reviews(S02E09) "You've gone native. Are you kidding me?" Noah Bennet to Mohinder Suresh. Just when you thought Mohinder couldn't get any stupider, he goes and shoots Noah Bennet in the eye. He is really in too deep with this company. And lately, he is making Matt … Read More

Filed under: OpEd, Heroes, Episode Reviews(S02E08) Peter Petrelli: "I remember...I remember everything." Adam Monroe: "Good, then...Shall we save the world?" So, if you're a hero, a lot can happen in four months. And, apparently, a lot is going to happen in the next three episodes as our favorite he… Read More

Filed under: OpEd, Heroes, Episode Reviews(S02E07) I enjoyed this episode immensely. For starters, there wasn't a single mention of the wonder twins tonight! There were no black tears, no subtitles, and consequently, no dozing off on my part. The twins' storyline is this years version of the Nikki/J… Read More

Filed under: OpEd, Heroes, Episode Reviews(S02E06) "There's a storm coming Dr. Suresh." --BobIs Bob heralding the return of season one's magic? Save the cheerleader. Save the world. Claire is a cheerleader again. New York is burning, destroyed, evacuated (or whatever) again. Now all we need is Sylar… Read More

Filed under: OpEd, Heroes, Episode Reviews(S02E04) "Oh Golly" - Sylar, grade A meanie.I really want to thank all you guys who sent in such positive feedback on the new format for Heroes reviewcaps. JJ is going to follow a similar structure, as he displayed last week, so we can have some consistency … Read More

Filed under: OpEd, Heroes, Episode Reviews(S02E03) Back by popular demand, we're sticking with the format that Varun put to such good use in his most recent reviewcap of Heroes. I'm actually thrilled he came up with it as my fingers were on the verge of falling off after pecking out the gargantuan r… Read More

Filed under: OpEd, Heroes, Episode Reviews(S02E02) "Have you seen a scary white man?" - Hiro Nakamura, time traveler.Last week at TV Squad we had a big discussion on how to handle our "reviewcaps," the episodes of the big shows that we both provide a plot summary and review of. It seemed that we wer… Read More
