Reaction Post for Heroes: “Powerless” 1/3
(Warning Spoilers thru episode 11 of season2 and Graphic Novel 62!)
Peter- I’m glad Nathan got through to him. Granted, Adam did make good on his promise to heal Nathan, but last season Peter trusted Hiro enough to kill him if need be and here it looked very much like Peter was trying to kill Hiro before Matt and Nathan showed up. I must say, even though I didn’t like it, the fight with Hiro was longer than I expected and at least interesting to watch. At last a practical use for the late Ted’s power was revealed as Peter “nuked” the virus. Where he has Adam and Claire’s power, does that mean his blood can heal too? And what will happen to Caitlin now that the future she was in no longer exists?
Adam- I’m a bit disappointed in him. I’d hoped he had mellowed after being cooped up 30 years, but it was as I had feared after reading Graphic Novels 60 and 61: he has a god complex. I’m not sure is Hiro’s solution will help or hurt that as he trapped Adam but did not kill him, which means he can return, theoretically.
Hiro- I like that he is trying to be a hero but I still wish he had left Japan before Yaeko fell for him and he kissed her. I have to wonder why he didn’t behead Adam. Granted the live burial reminds me of “A Cask of Amontillado,” but, given that Adam can heal from anything but a headshot, again I still wonder, if Hiro’s solution hasn’t hurt rather than helped as opposed to an outright beheading.
Nathan- I like that he was using his power and that he wanted to reveal the existence of specials to the world. I liked both his speech to Peter and the one he was interrupted while making. I was afraid something was going to happen when I saw the hidden camera in the vault, but wasn’t sure exactly what would happen once Matt had done his bit to help, but I was hoping, even with a few online spoilers I had read, that it wouldn’t be what we saw. A friend of mine thinks it’s HRG who shot Nathan. I’m hoping they can get him some of Claire’s blood, or that Peter’s can save him. After all, it worked to save HRG. And the MSNBC mike was a nice touch.
Matt- Nice to see him trying to help with his powers. It looked like he was trying to mentally “talk” to Peter rather than just pushing him. I still hope he doesn’t become another Maury. I liked his line when he sees Hiro “Who’s this guy supposed to be?” I also like his speech about “How much longer are we going to have to clean up their mess?” in reference to problems caused by the 12’s actions. I would like to know what else the 12 did and what everyone’s powers were and what can be done about all of it, if a full reveal is not the answer.
Angela- I really don’t like her. Where she merely annoyed me in season 1 (I had liked her when she first appeared) now I wish Maury had finished her off, except for the information she gave. I don’t like that she is so willing to sacrifice her sons or how cold she gets. It seems like when I think she can’t possibly be any colder she some how does just that. What does she mean by “You do know that you’ve now opened Pandora’s Box?” If not for her “It was unavoidable” comment, I would have thought she meant she was going to revenge Nathan.
