TV-Reviewed

In this season finale a lot went down and none of it mattered with the exception of two things but let’s start from the beginning. It opens with Hiro trying to stop Peter but to no prevail. Peter ended taking him out and keeping Adam safe. Nathan and Matt Parkman arrived and it seemed like Nathan had some issues with his back. Matt is a big boy and I think it would have been wise to take a plane instead of him trying to be Superman. It was a great showdown between Peter, Adam, Hiro, and Matt over the virus. These heroes used their powers wisely and Peter was able to see how stupid he was. He was able to stop the virus from being unleashed and reconcile with his brother. They both feel as though the world knows about their powers and they organize a press conference. Before Nathan can get it out, he gets shot a few times in his chest by an unknown man! It looks like Angela put him up to it but claims it was done for the better good. Does Nathan live or die? We will have to wait till next season to find out!

Adrian Pasdar as Nathan Petrelli

Meanwhile, Claire was thinking the same thing but her father returned in surprise faction. He was sent to her by the company to keep her mouth shut. It looks like he made a deal with them that will keep his family safe. Claire was so happy that he was alive and that it was her blood that did the deed. If her blood can do that, then I truly doubt that they will be left alone but with Bob who knows. Speaking of being safe, it doesn’t look to good for Mohinder. Sylar is threatening him about Molly to keep him inline. Molly helps Maya pinpoint her brother and she finds out that he is dead. She puts two and two together and realizes that Sylar killed her brother. She lets the cat out the bag about Sylar not having his power and Mohinder jumps on him the first chance he gets. He has some help though from Elle who is trying to prove her worth to her father but fails again. Sylar escapes with the serum that Mohinder made for him and now he has his powers back! What will happen now that he has his powers intact? Only Tim Kring knows.

Over in LALA land AKA New Orleans Niki was enlisted by her son to help out Monica. She is in a tough situation since she is about to be put on fire. Niki, in her weakened state, comes and saves the day but not herself. When everyone evacuates the burning building she is left alone trying to escape. The building blows up before she could remove herself. Is she really dead or are they going to pull another Jesus awaking! I really hope not. Hiro was able to get his revenge on Adam by sending him to his grave! Hiro didn’t kill him all he did was bury him alive. I have to say I was surprised by this because I didn’t think Hiro had it in him. I liked this ending because it showed creativity, something that has been lacking all season long.

Zachary Quinto as Sylar

This concludes a very boring season that can only be described as average. I hope that next season we can have better actors and better storylines. This season finale was able to make me care about two things. Will Nathan survive and who shot him in the first place. This should be enough to get the viewers back but they better pull a rabbit out of the hat to keep their interests. Heroes is a great show, it just had a bad season.
