TV-Reviewed

Heroes has always been a good show.  It has had its ups and downs over the show’s entire run. The third volume bounced with consistency. This volume has pretty much been on the same track all season long. This is a good thing.  This episode showed the strength of their weakest characters and gave depth to those that needed it.

Claire and Nathan found themselves in a very odd place. Nathan took her to the land of the runaways… Mexico. There they are safe from Nathan’s own junction. They are tight for cash and is looking quite whipped. Nathan is rocking a pretty nasty beard that makes him look like that he has a drinking problem. In order to survive they had no choice but to pawn their most cherished items. Nathan gets sick of struggling and challenges some young men to a fun game of drinking. The one who can drink the most without passing out wins. Nathan of course loses but Claire picks up where he can’t finish. Due to her healing ability Claire is unable to get drunk and wins the money back. Nathan tells her that he has a plan to fix everything but when he sobered up he realized it was just wishful thinking. He tells Claire that he no longer has any power and is now a fugitive like her. What is next for the father and daughter? Only time will tell.

Milo Ventimiglia as Peter Petrelli, Cristine Rose as Angela Petrelli

Peter and Angela had an interesting episode. They both went to church. They each had to make their own peace with the man upstairs. They know that the end is near and they are looking for some hope and maybe guidance to steer them in the right direction. Before they can catch the holy spirit, the soldiers arrive. Peter hides Angela in one of the confessionals. It’s there that Angela reveals her true feelings to Peter. For the first time we finally get to see where she is really coming from. H.R.G finds them but tells the soldiers that he lost them. It looks like H.R.G is still on her side. I can only wonder how her sister is going to react them to her taking Peter to her sister. It should be some entertaining stuff.

Sylar and the hunter had the best storyline this episode. Sylar wants to be partners with the hunter so he can get some new powers. The hunter had no choice but to listen to him. He needed his help to catch a shape shifter. Sylar was able to school the hunter on his hunting tactics. Sylar helps the hunter find him and does a great job at being a team player.  A partnership is born and Sylar adds a new power to his arsenal. I’m glad that they are partnered up because they have chemistry together. You could feel the tension between the two in the beginning. Through out their scenes together you could feel the chemistry grow. Seeing them on screen together should equal to some quality television.

I enjoyed this episode a lot. The acting was good and i enjoyed the pairing of Sylar and the hunter. Claire was even worth watching this time around. Lets hope next week we get to see Ando, Hiro and Matt Parkman. I’m wondering where his character is going to go now that Daphne has died.
