Heroes Episode Review: Season 2 Episode 1 (2.01) Four Months Later
Tonight’s episode takes place “Four Months Later” after the end of Season 1, and it feels twice as long since the Brothers Petrellis came together and flew into the sky, taking with them New York’s doom and saving the city in the process. Meanwhile, the fates of D.L. Hawkins and Matt Parkman, both suffering from [...]

At last, the long journey comes to an end, and a circle is completed while another one begins, as Season 1 of “Heroes” closes much the same way it opened all those months ago: effectively, simply, and with another journey to be taken. Not a terrible surprise that there were no final superpowered battle to [...]

(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 [...]

(Episode Review by the Fiendish Supervillain Mathsorcerer) — I was wrong. I thought last week’s episode was the best thus far … until I saw Chapter 20, “Five Years Gone”. Wow. It’s difficult to make me speechless, but this episode very nearly does it. You’ve been living in a dream world. You think it’s the [...]

(Episode Review by MathSorcerer) — After suffering in the desert of second-rate TV (well, with some exceptions) we finally get our Heroes fix, and in a really big way. Chapter 19, “.07 Percent”, is actually one of the best of Season 1, and I’m not saying that simply because it has been more than a [...]

You can’t escape your destiny. Or can you? That seems to be the question running across Chapter 18, “Like any Parasite” (or according to the episode title card, just “Parasite”). As for our heroes� Hiro’s quest to find his elusive sword and save New York City continues in Vegas, where he bumps into a familiar [...]

Hapless Matt Parkman and his new partner-in-crime, Ted Sprague (aka The Radioactive Man, or to be more precise, the very unstable Radioactive Man), have just busted into HRG’s house in search of evidence of HRG’s nefarious deeds. (Curiously, Hana the Wireless girl is nowhere in sight.) They find Mr. Muggles and, moments later, the entire [...]

In “Unexpected”, we see one of the best episodes in the series to date. There were plenty of things that weren’t unexpected — someone flying and someone dying (as per the show’s latest tagline) — but there were actually a couple of things that truly were unexpected — Mohinder is working on an inhibitor chemical [...]

Run. The title itself could mean running away from something…or someone. For Claire, she is running away from her adoptive father, in whom she has begun to lose trust; however, by running to her natural parents she hasn’t found the peace and acceptance she thought she would. For Nathan, he is running away from a [...]

In Chapter 14, “Distractions”, the order of the day is distractions. Hey, you can blame Tim Kring and company for a lot of things, but these guys know how to title an episode and keep the theme going throughout. And speaking of which, the world will probably never know the first name of HRG, aka [...]
