Heroes: Just Gets Better and Better

Spoiler Alert!!!! For my friends who haven't watched last nights episode yet.


You've been warned. Oh my Lord, this is easily the best show on Network TV right now. Essentially it looks like each season of this show is going to be one big Graphic Novel. This last episode was very similar to the X-Men Comic "Days of Future Past" where a future is depicted that shows Mutants put in internment camps and branded as such. Not allowed to breed, watched night and day, basically treated like the perceived "threat" that they are. Last nights episode of Heroes finds Hiro Nakamura and his pal Ando teleported 5 years into the future. The bomb that destroys most of New York that the painter Issac (he who can paint the future) predicted hasn't been stopped after all. In one of the earlier episodes we meet Hiro's Future Self, a bad ass, katana wearing warrior who tells Peter Petrelli "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World". Peter ends up doing so, but apparently it still doesn't stop the bomb. In this future world, Sylar (Super Villan extraordanaire) is blamed for being the bomb (yes there is a man named Ted who's super power is to explode......he doesn't blow up himself, he can just create nuclear explosions.....) when in reality it is Peter Petrelli (who, like Sylar, can absorb others powers....Peter does it by empathy whereas Sylar does it by killing the individual and examining their brain before injesting it). Nathan (the flying guy) is President, and apparently he's turned evil and wants to exterminate the competition (we find out Nathan is Sylar masquerading as Nathan...Holy Crap didn't see that one coming either....) The future looks bleak for our Heroes, and it's up to Hiro to change it......God I love this show........if you aren't on board, go to NBC.com and watch some episodes. You will be hooked.
