 HEROES
How to Stop an Exploding Man
aka: "How to End a Successful Season"
by Peter Sorensen
In the season finale of Heroes, we finally get to see the long awaited showdown between Sylar and Peter Petrelli, Nathan struggles with a tough choice, and Nikki, Mohinder and Parkman all do some other stuff that no one cares about.
So it's finally over. The entire season has been slowly building up to this one moment, this one event. And, even though the finale was slightly underwhelming, it's perfect for the kind of show that Heroes has come to be: a series that knows when and how to close the book on a plotline before it gets old or unpopular and still go out with a bang (literally AND figuratively).

HEROES
Landslide
aka: "Heroes (of a 1,000 faces)"
by Peter Sorensen
In this weeks episode of Heroes, Peter pulls it together and controls his newly acquired nuclear powers. Bennett and Parkman help Eric Roberts get back to his "acting" career, Nathan helps Nikki go after Linderman, and Hiro gets a surprise visit.
What can I even say here? When this show ends next week, I will have no other option than to commit hari-kari. That's how good this show is. At the end of this weeks episode I had to actually sit still for a full ten minutes before I could form a coherent sentence again.
It sounded like this: "Did you see when he... and the thing... and just, whoa... Hiro's Dad... and with the... when he... right in his head! Dude!"
Fanboyishness: 1. Eloquence: 0.

HEROES
The Hard Part
aka: "More setups than a crooked cop convention"
by Peter Sorensen
In this weeks episode of Heroes, we get a glimpse of things to come. Peter and Claire are still trying to save the world (and keep their hands off each other), Sylar gets to play a little Norman Bates, Hiro contemplates a tough decision, and Niki and D.L. basically just run around and suck up screen time.
Let's get right into this at the beginning so I can get it out of my system: I hate setup shows. These are the shows that accomplish nothing during their time other than to move players into position for the next episode(s). It's commonplace in lesser dramas where you're focusing on one main storyline and the writers don't know how to get their characters where they need to be. On a show like Heroes though, you would think that with all the characters running about with all their different storylines, you would never have to succumb to such a screenwriting faux pas. Apparently, this is not the case.
