Heroes Episode Review: Season 2 Episode 8 (2.08) Four Months Ago

Ah, it’s Fall, when the clock falls back one hour, and Heroes does likewise, only more ambitiously: it rewinds back to four months ago, where we pick up with our heroes as they are coming out of their Season 1 finale haze. Most people said that the finale was too anti-climactic, lacking in the oomph [...]

Almost all of our characters, it seems, has a decision to make tonight: fight or run. And why exactly should anyone run from little ol Kristen Bell? Well, if those blue electrical sparks [...]

Heroes Episode Review: Season 2 Episode 3 (2.03) Kindred

If last week’s episode “Lizards” taught us anything, it’s that the famous Takezo Kensei is not living up to his legend. And oh yeah, he apparently can’t die. Which, it would appear, comes as a total shock to our drunken faux hero, but a complete delight to Hiro. Is this, then, the first steps toward [...]

Irish gangsters, it would appear, really, really want their iPods. But hey, who could blame them? IPods are, like, really groovy and stuff. Plus, I hear you [...]

Episode Review: Chapter 21, The Hard Part

(Review by MathSorcerer) — I’ve seen several comments about Chapter 21, “The Hard Part” that were decidedly negative. “Lame”, “a let-down”, and “just filling space until the season finale” were some of them. Nothing could be further from the truth; these people were simply not watching the episode with a critical eye and [...]
