Come Fly With Me

Ok, so I had another lost weekend, hence the lack of updates. I will be rolling those that I missed into this week's updates. Also, I think I'm going to move away from recapping the entire plot each time and instead just highlight my likes and dislikes, if that's ok with all you. Sound good? Good.

Ok, so let's talk about Heroes. We've got a lot of ground to cover, so stay with me. Let's start with Claire and Mr. Bennett, since their story received attention both last week and this week. When last we left our indestructible cheerleader, she had been caught cutting off her toe by her Flying Stalker. She spent most of the last episode trying to tell FS that he simply saw her giving herself a pedicure. FS obviously knows that she's lying and tries to restart the whole lizard evolution discussion in class, severely pissing Claire off. Dude, if you like the girl, don't call her a freak in front of the entire class. She won't respond well. After much back and forth, FS picks up her up and flies her away to the beach where they totally make out and FS reveals that he was abducted as a child.......by a man in GLASSES. Cue ominous music. This week, Claire acts like a teenager and lies to her parents to go on a date with FS, who takes her to the top of the Hollywood Sign. Nice. She doesn't really feel that comfortable with him, because her dad doesn't want her dating (he thinks the Company will get to her), but FS gives her a nice line about letting go, convinces her to jump off the sign (not as suicidal as it sounds), and then flies down and catches her. Double nice. They make out again. When Claire gets home after curfew, she lies to her father and tells him that she had tried out for the cheerleading and that "cheerleading" makes her feel good and is important to her. Hehe, that's what they all say.

Peter has to help the Irish guys steal a bunch of money in order to get the box with his memories back and we find out that he can do a bunch of stuff that he maybe couldn't do before.

Hiro's still in the past being awesome and sending notes to Ando through his sword.

DL is definitely dead and Niki/Crazy leaves Micah in New Orleans with DL's family while she goes off to the Company to get cured. DL's family includes Monica (I think that's her name), who can see something on TV and replicate it. She goes all badass wrestler on some guy trying to rob her burger joint, which is awesome. Her little brother convinces Micah to rig the TV to get free pay-per-view which is eh. And Grandma, she's UHURA, people, UH-fricking-URA. (For those of you that have never seen Star Trek, you can't appreciate why this is so important, so boo you).

Mama Petrelli confesses to killing Papa Nakamura, b/c she thinks that will save her life. Sorry, try again. Parkman enlists Nathan's help to figure out who's really responsible and Nathan shows him the picture of the older generation of Heroes, which includes Mama and Papa Petrelli, Papa Nakamura, Linderman, Mr. Devaux, and MATT'S DAD, who turns out to be the BIG BAD who's been tormenting Molly. WTF? I know, I know.

Sylar gets whisked away to the jungles of Mexico, by Candace (the one who change reality remember, and who actually looks like a frumpy middle-aged woman, fyi) with no recollection of what happened to him or any of his powers. He kills Candace, but he still can't make anything happen. So he's goes wandering off into the jungle and eventually winds up on a road where's discovered by the wonder twins, Maya and Alejandro, but as I could really care less about their story line and creepy eye-bleeding power, I'm not spending anymore time discussing it. They're either going to kill Sylar or Sylar will kill them, so that's that for now.

Ok, I think that catches us all up. Next week it looks like we're going to find out what Peter's been up to. Apparently it involves a perky blond teenage detective with an aptitude for snark. What? I'm conflating shows? Damn. Ok so KRISTEN BELL, I repeat, KRISTEN BELL, of the prematurely cancelled Veronica Mars, joins the cast next week as a Hero with ties to Peter. As you can guess by previous allusions, I'm absolutely in love with Kristen Bell and the thought of her coming back to series TV gives me goosebumps. I'll forewarn you that next week's recap will be mostly about her. If you love her as much as I do, then we both have something to look forward to. See you next week.



KRISTEN BELL!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! (Ok, I'm really going now.)
