"Heroes season finale" |
Wow. And wow some more. I suppose I should put in some filler. La la la. Aren't those kids sickeningly cute? Awww!Anyway... The Harry Potter "All We Need Is Love" speech? That made me laugh. Rowling is so gonna sue NBC. ;) Seriously, an amazing episode. Teamy goodness is my favorite thing, EVER, so the Heroes all coming together at the end totally made my day. I could see them having Nathan survive. I could see him being dead. I'd like for him to come back. I wonder if Peter is still going to have trouble controlling his powers when he, er, regenerates (someone can regenerate after *that*?!). Seems like it was an issue whenever he picked up a new power (hearing thoughts, then Jessica/Nikki's strength). Is he going to have to be careful about being around new heroes from here on out? Finally, I cannot WAIT to see Hiro in medieval Japan!

2. "RE: Heroes season finale" |
LAST EDITED ON 05-22-07 AT 09:09 AM (EST)Now that is a Finale! Wow.....loved it.. It all falls into place and now Sylar does not need to paint the future but he can see it right then and there. Sylar is off to the sewers but there is someone who is worst then the "Boogie Man". Mom is going to be so pissed that Nathan saved the city and I bet we get to see her powers before next season. Peter went back in time?/Issac's non-painting power? to see Symon's dad and he could see Peter was invisible. Molly and Micah were too cute. Molly looks like she needs the Doc's blood every now and then. I'm wondering if it was not Sylar who went after Molly but the worst guy because he can see where Molly is and took the shots and healed before he flew off while Sylar does not have the ability to heal yet.....so we have seen this evil guy. Matt taking 5 shots...ouch.... Peter/Nathan.....wonderful ending but just like DL taking the bullet instead of using his powers..Peter could have used Nathan flying power to get himself out of there? Hiro saving Ando and then doing what he needed to do. Him ending up Japan....what fun for next season. Great wrap up....and leaves us wanting more....

While I thought the finale was great, I have a few minor gripes. The good stuff, however, outweighed the bad for me. I really liked how Hiro's story wrapped up and then transitioned to next season. (BTW, was that George Takei as Kensei in that final scene?) I loved the set up of a villain worse than Sylar. I liked the interaction between Molly and Micah. The relationships between Hiro and Ando ("You look bad@ss!" Brilliant) and Claire and HRG (or should we call him Noah now? Loved the reveal on that, too) are great and I hope they continue into next season.The ending played out EXACTLY as I thought it would, with Nathan going along with the plan until the very last minute, then sacrificing himself to save NYC. OK, now the gripes...
A lot of my problems with the finale stem from the fact that they gave up the finale plot WAY too early in the season. There was just no way they were going to be able to realize the conclusion we've been contemplating for half the season or more. Hopefully they learn from that and save the ending for the, uh, END. There was enough plot left for at least another half hour. The finale should've been 90 minutes or 2 hours. I was left with too many questions about what actually happened in the last hour. 1) When did Nathan's crisis of conscience happen? We saw NONE of it. That was a necessary scene. 2) What was the deal with that dream sequence with Mr. Deveaux? Was it a dream? Did he go back in time? Was it Peter who initiated that? Was it Mr. Deveaux calling from the starry beyond? Seriously, WTF? Sorry, Mr. Deveaux but it really freaking DOES matter, in narrative terms that is. More exposition was needed here. 3) Speaking of more exposition, we needed something from Peter to give us an indication of why he couldn't fly himself out of the city. All it would've taken was one line of him saying something to the effect of "I'm so out of control now, I can't fly myself away from here." As it played out, we were left to assume it. Really simple to fix that. 4) The action sequences. Seriously, all that build up for a 2 minute (if that) face off? This was a problem all season. The showdowns were too brief and didn't showcase enough of the abilities of the characters. Hopefully this will improve next season. The Sylar/Peter showdown scene should have been at least 5 minutes longer. Who wouldn't have wanted to see kind of a compilation of acquired abilities? I mean they made such a big deal about this during the season--Peter's natural integration vs. Sylar's destructive syphoning--that we were really owed that. Right? 5) I don't really have a problem with the criticism of DL not phasing and taking the bullet. Remember, this is a guy who is still really learning his ability. And it's a GUN for goodness sake. That would require some lightning quick reflexes. Even in the best of situations he'd have been hard pressed to pull that off. As it was, it all happened in the blink of an eye. He reacted instinctually, like the 20-some years that predated his phasing ability had conditioned him. I would have been more skeptical if they had tried to have him phase the bullet through both of them. That said, the line from Nikki asking him why he didn't phase was a silly inclusion. And if you're going to ask it, at least have him respond "there wasn't time" or something like that. Don't just leave it hanging, because that's what half the audience is asking anyway. It makes us think "yeah, why didn't you phase, dumb @ss?". Even with those criticisms, it was an entertaining end to a VERY entertaining season, and I'm very much looking forward to season 2. I seem to recall lots of criticism surrounding the season 1 finale of LOST, too...

Good synopsis. I agree with most of what you've said with maybe the exception of DL and the bullet. I thought that he didn't phase because the bullet might have then killed Nikki but then again they had been morphing thru walls together so it would have made sense that they could have phased around the bullet together too.I think he had to concentrate harder to phase them both and there simply wasn't enough time for him to phase the bullet through both of them so he took it to save her. I'm curious about the final Sylar sequence though. I agree that there should have been a lot more fighting between Sylar and Peter and Peter seemed to have the radioactive capabilities under control last week so what gives this week? When Sylar supposedly died or whatever, was that the future we saw passing in his eyes or was it the powers he'd stolen from the other heroes? I guess I'll have to go back and rewatch the episode tonight to find out.

I loved the set up of a villain worse than Sylar.In reference to Molly's comment about the one who could see her? If so, I've been wondering if that indicates a 'bad guy' or just a sensation that freaks Molly out a bit. Then wondered if maybe it was Mr. Deveaux she was talking about??? 4) The action sequences. Seriously, all that build up for a 2 minute (if that) face off? This was a problem all season. The showdowns were too brief and didn't showcase enough of the abilities of the characters. Could NOT agree more. Especially with the whole Hiro thing. He just shows up, runs a sword through Sylar, and...and...and NOTHING! No freezing time, no explanation of how Sylar moved last faceoff at his mom's house. And it seemed a bit cheezy given Sylars abilities that he couldn't have thrown Hiro aside in a split second. I agree it was a good ep overall (and I have to remember how spoiled I am to begin with). What I felt was out of balance was that many of the *most* important scenes were written/filmed/treated as if they were secondary filler.

i thought the bad buy is MR. Deveaux too--they are making him good but he's the evil one...or not...or Mama Petrelli?

I thought Generations was supposed to be kinda like a reality show to add in new characters to the main show. Am I making that up? I think it would have been cooler to have it explain all of that peripheral stuff that would add more depth to the main series.
