They’re not serious! They always do it on purpose, bring the hype up just before a big break… What did I do wrong Tim Kring? I love the show and it keeps giving every time. Now that the “Save the Cheerleader” mini-plot is on hold they needed something to bring back the action together. Sylar was caught but is still very dangerous, as always they underestimate the bad guys. This final episode before the Winter break was advertised as the one where one of the heroes “with powers” would die. They did deliver on that but the promo clips were a bit misleading and hopefully did not spoil the fun (I won’t say the answer).

A quick recap of what happens; Peter was arrested because of the Sylar attack but most obviously since it was only his own blood they found on him they could hold him forever. Not until Matt came by along the FBI to do some investigation. It was priceless to see Peter and Matt meet as it is known that Peter can absorb powers of those around him. The show goes on with extra development with “The Haitian”; an un-named character that displayed unusual powers in the past. The final 10 minutes we’re the ones to wait for when we see Peter’s health degrading and slipping into a coma (after effect of multiple powers absorption we’d say). At this precise moment he gets a kind of vision/premonition of what might actually happen concerning the destruction of New York. It’s pretty clear that they could use that as a twist but it was hard to guess they would use that card now. The show loves to bring more questions as it answers some of them… we got to see pretty much everyone in a set of sub-plot but we’ll have to wait until January 22, 2007 before a fresh set of episodes emerge. I really love that show. (Period)Previous post: Heroes

When I go back thinking about the show I can hardly believe how it managed to reach this point. This is one of the best suspense/action/drama show. Of course my love has been lately shared with new comer Heroes but my loyalty towards Prison Break is unbreakable. The show has always been well written and the constant rebounds keep you on the edge of your seat from week to week. Last year, at the same time, I was sure Michael Schofield was breaking out and the show would end. I mean how far can the scope of the name PRISON BREAK go?

They did their job with the advertising saying that the escape just begins. This second season has been just has fun as the first. Unlike last year’s hiatus the fall finale break will resume in January instead of time killer March. This last episode was full of surprise and the finale was pretty un-expected. It opens new doors and the second half of the season will be promising. If you missed it or know nothing of Prison Break you can visit FOX.COM where you can view episodes online.

Ordinary people discovering extraordinary abilities. Heroes is a new show presented by NBC that is just what the title says. Strange that I discovered the show only on it’s third week but I’m amazed by how easily I got hook by it. If you like the comic book genre, love super hero story but would like to see them struggle that is the best way; right there.

We’ve had the X-Men, the Superman, the Spiderman, the Batman and the Fantastic Four. It’s hard to point exactly to witch existing comic it would relate but I think they are doing a good job to create a new dimension in which they can play. The series stats off with different people across the globe that start noticing their special abilities, one can fly, one can heal herself (super fast; à la Wolverine). Others can paint the future, read peoples mind and stop time.

Many of those individuals have to struggle with life as any human being should but are slowly alienated by their powers. Destiny seems to draw them together in New York and the murder of a scientist that was trying to prove this evolution theory adds to the drama of the show. You can’t have good guys if you don’t have bad ones; this is why we get a psycho-serial-killer that can move objects with his mind (telekinesis) such as blades, tables, chairs and stake you to a wall. You also need a catastrophic event; such as a vision of the future of New York being destroyed by a nuclear weapon. Finally but not least; there has to be some organization that will take advantage of the Heroes power for their own means and always seem a step ahead.

This is a beautiful settings for those extraordinary characters to live in and try to survive. They must unite to accomplish their destiny and it’s probably to save the world. The show airs Monday nights at 9 PM on both NBC and Global. Don’t you miss it, I sure won’t!
