Heroes: Episode 2.3 "Kindred" Recap

buddytv · 10-08-2007, 12:06 PM

Sylar's back! So are Niki and Micah, but more importantly, Sylar! I'll admit to being an unapologetic Zachary Quinto fan. I loved him as CTU analyst Adam on the third season of 24. I loved him as Tori Spelling's gay best friend on her short-lived VH1 series So NoTORIous (if you want to see Sylar make out with another dude,that's the show for you). And, of course, I love him on Heroes.

The question remains: how can the Heroes writing team squeeze in these returning characters? Amnesiac Peter is in the middle of an Irish gang war, Hiro s in ancient Japan discovering his hero is a Hero, Claire's flying stalker knows her secret, HRG and the Haitian are back together, Mohinder has infiltrated the Company, Parkman is babysitting Molly while investigating Kaito's death, and Nikki and Paulo Version 2.0 are still trying to get into the U.S. Not to mention whatever Ando and Nathan are up to. Good thing Sylar's back, hopefully he can slice open the heads of some of the weaker subplots.

I am a HEROES fan hands down, but this second season is a bit wishy washy. The subplots are a little boring. The main plot is okay and should be more focused on. Nikki & Paulo Version 2.0 are giving me headaches, and don't really see why they are relevant. And here we go again with the damn paintings. It was a cool in the first season, now it's boring with Isaac gone. I hope the show picks up a bit. Hiro in feudal Japan is a bit boring to. The drama this season is not as intense as the first season. Maybe another disaster plotline wight be good. Sorry HEROES i loved the first season but this season is a bit of a drag. The only things that is interesting is the villian killing the original heroes. Peter's storyline is a bit ridiculous. I hope they don't turn him into a baddy. There is so much they can do with Peter.

What's the big deal with Sylar? I love Quinto, but I feel Sylar is being over-played. He should have died last season. If anything maybe this season we'll find out how the hell he can use other Heroes' power. What more, maybe we'll see what the heck HIS POWER IS! I'm still confused on how the heck he managed to kill Eden (remember her?). And I'm sad to see that Michelle/Candice (whose name is actually Betty in the comics) was stupid.

you ruined a perfectly good summation with the word "fatty"

how utterly tacky of you

Hey I kinda like Maya and Alejandro (maybe because they represent for the Latinos!), nah, in serious I think it's interesting to see the ying-yang idea between the twins. It's kinda cute that they need each other. But yet a little annoying on how Maya is all "I can't leave you." WE GET IT!

Does anyone think the car they drove off in is Claire's stolen car?

I liked it. Okay, there are a lot of subplots, but look at the beginning of the first season, it was exactly the same. It took weeks to find out what the deal was, and then it all came together and bam!
I expect a great deal in the near future from mama Petrelli, from HRG & Claire Bear (I like their keep-low plotline a lot), and there is a huge reason why Peter is still in Ireland, be sure of it.
The one thing I regret is that they kept Sylar. They should have let him die als the villain of the season, and then move onto the next. It's been done before and it usually works out perfectly. (look at Buffy, lol).
I'm actually happy that he won't be around the whole season plucking brains again. I'm much more curious about the Boogeyman.
ps, I support the comment that someone made on you using the word "fatty". That's uncalled for.

ps, wanted to add that I actually miss the Petrelli interaction. Nathan is a bit wasted (literally and figuratively

), but I hope that they pick up on that too.
As for the Mexian plotline, hopefully that will get somewhere soon.
and I'm not a fan of the Hiro in old Japan storyline. It's okay, but it's not wow. The messages left in the sword were pretty cool though.

The two kid's traveling through Mexico is getting boring. I get that they are desperate, on the run and that she hurts people and he can reverse the damage. Let's move on to something new already...

Are we watching season one again? Do Hiro and Ando have to kill Sylar all over again? Been there done that!

Nikki and Paolo from Lost have been reincarnated and are now Maya and Alejandro in Heroes! --

Why?
