Re: Heroes *Spoilers*
What is it with HEROES and the 9th episode?
SUPER MEGA FUNKY AWESOME!
I actually cried a little. It was that awesome.
It's a very well structured show - it's very clever on an aesthetic level to play both the Noah finale and the Kaito mystery close together. And even Elle and Parkman were kept on 'theme' with their father issues.
Parkman's on a scary road...
But this episode super awesome.
Hiro's reaction that the murderer was Takezo Kensei was so good.
But the big deal with Noah - wow, wow, wow. It was so well done. I loved West, and I loved how Claire saved him. I was so into it, and I completely and utterly forgot they could resurrect Noah. Bringing him back was BRILLIANTLY done. I didn't see it coming. Not only that, but I think it's better HERE than later. The reason is this: the episode goes very much down the road of fate and destiny and that's why Kaito has to die. It's a nice counterpoint that Noah meets his fate, but then wriggles out of it. I think it's less "gimmicky" in this episode, especially when you consider they've played that card half a dozen times this season (Peter, Nathan, Adam, and Sylar all have had their "OMG! THEY'RE ALIVE!" scenes).
The problem, one I hadn't considered till reading you guys' comments, is the emo Bennets next episode which makes me think that Noah won't do much for several episodes. My fond hope is that they start using him right away, but maybe they'll take him off the board for a while. Honestly, I don't care.
This episode was so good, I wouldn't want to change any of it. Damn the upcoming episodes. This was worth it, right now.
Crap... I just didn't see the blood trick. It's been there, in plain sight, since episode TWO, and I still didn't see it coming.
I love foreshadowing when it's done like this - hiding in plain sight. YES! YES! YES!
They've got the goods these guys - they just need to stop being so gorram slow! This episode could've been #6 (give or take)!
Ah, I don't care. It's that good. I'm so happy.
