Am I Really Powerless?

Posted in The Tube at 5:54 pm by earl

The Season Finale of Volume 2 of Heroes, Powerless, looks ot be action packed. Here is the description of it from Wikipedia:

Peter and Nathan Petrelli are reunited, but a battle erupts between them, Matt Parkman and Hiro Nakamura, set up by Adam Monroe. Monica Dawson is captured by a street gang, and Micah Sanders turns to his mother Niki for help. Maya Herrera learns Sylar’s true nature when he kidnaps Molly Walker and Mohinder Suresh. Elle plays the hero to get back into her father’s good graces.

Also, there is a new awesome site I found called www.heroes-pictures.com, where I found these awesome pictures of that episode and more!


Let My People Watch Heroes!!!

Wikipedia, the world’s greatest web site, has just informed me some new information on Heroes. One of my favorite aspects of Heroes is the way that they tell stories. Each span of character arcs and one big storyline Volume 1-Exploding Man, Volume 2-Shanti Virus. Well, due to the fact that the writers are being a bunch of whiny babies, Volume 2 is being cut short, somewhat “summarized”, and instead of Season 2 being just Volume 2, Season 2 will pause for the writer’s strike, cut short Volume 2, and begin Volume 3 which will fill in the other half of Season 2 with 13 episodes, making Season 2 a little longer than Season 1, which had 23 episodes. However, the big news and cause of this post is the revealing of the name of the third volume-Exodus. I LOVE IT!!!! Heroes is really starting to take a Biblical aspect. Think about it. Volume 1-Genesis (1st Book in Bible), Volume 2-Generations (Which the later part of Genesis did a lot of), and now Volume 3-Exodus (2nd book). Exodus means a departure, a leaving, so I wonder how that will affect the storyline? I mean, Genesis was the characters getting their powers, Generations was showing some family and new characters, so what can we expect with Exodus? We’ll just have to give the writers their baby bottles and hope that they stop whining so I can have something to do on Monday nights again. So, what’s a summary?:

Season 1-Volume 1: Genesis: 23 Episodes-Ended May 23
Season 2-Volume 2: Generations: 11 Episodes-Ends December 3
Volume 3: Exodus: 13 Episodes-Total Episodes for Season 2-24-Begins ?

Wait a minute, our Gateway tests are the day after Heroes ends. Now I won’t be able to do well because I’ll be bummed about Heroes!
