trillianastraAfter the bleak period last week when there was no Heroes, it's back, with episode Eight, titled "Villains". (What's that? Something about an election last week? Meh... politics...)
So, this ep is basically Hiro spirit-walking to the past (one year ago, to be precise), and the stuff he sees.
Or... it's the writers saying "Hey, look, here's Daddy Petrelli in the background of all this stuff we've already seen happen!". Either way, it's awesome. Heavily Petrelli-centric, as one might expect, but still Awesome.
Here be the specifics, folks...
MEREDITH
Revelation #1: MEREDITH is FLINT'S BIG SISTER. Remember Flint? From Level Five? He of the blue flames? He's her dumbass little bro', apparently. And yes, I mean the dumbass thing. In Meredith's words... "Remember what Daddy told you? That God gave you a big sister instead of a brain?" See? Dumbass. *nodnod*
Also, working by the increasingly complicated relationship map in my head, technically this makes Flint part of the Petrellis' extended family, him being Claire's *other* uncle and all.
Revelation #2: Meredith got... "recruited" by Thompson. As a Company agent.
Revelation #3: Meredith tried to bust her little bro' out of Primatech. Made onto a train and as far as Odessa, Texas before Thompson caught up to her, too. At which point she caused said train to crash. (Guess what? Yep, same train crash as the one Claire saved that guy from in S1.)
Revelation #4: Thompson let Meredith go, after she happened to mention Claire, and Claire's supposed "death" in that fire when she was a baby.
ELLE, NOAH BENNET AND THE COMPANY
Okay, so... One Year Ago, Elle was working for the Company. With Noah Bennet. Also, One Year Ago, The Company knew about Sylar. The explanation had something to do with whales not singing in captivity, but basically they were watching him to see what happened when he got around other Specials.
Oh, and this involves a great deal of quite ridiculously cute Sylar/Elle stuff.... and I know Elle's all *psycho* but frak, it was cute. And I now have the urge to write lots of Sylar/Elle fluff, and that isn't an urge that happens a lot.
Elle totally thought Sylar/Gabriel was cute, though. *nodnod* She did! HRG said it, it must be true!
Finally... *sigh*, it's nice seeing Noah be all badass again. Badass and comfortable-with-morally-grey, that's how I like him, not weird and horrible and frankly being a GIT like he is in Season-Three-Present-Day. And the Noah-Elle partnership made me all happy and warm inside... *ahem*
PETRELLIS. THE INCREASINGLY FRAKKED-UP PETRELLI FAMILY
Shocker #1: Remember that car accident Nathan and Heidi were in? Ya, Daddy Petrelli organised that. He *ordered* Linderman to get his goons to do it. I'm not sure what scares me more, the fact that Arthur effectively tried to have his own son killed, or the fact that he can order around a mob boss like that.
Shocker #2: Daddy Petrelli had been systematically erasing certain parts of Angela's memory for quite some time. Also, his ability has something to do with implanting mental commands.... he used that on her, too. Trust me, Angela Petrelli as Stepford!Angela is freaky, dude.
Shocker #3: Linderman had a conscience. Yeah, I was surprised too. Anyways, he used his ability to heal the damage caused to Angela's brain by all Arthur's memory-wiping.
Shocker #4: After she remembered the things Arthur wanted her to forget, Angela poisoned him. Which made him have a heart attack. Then, she and the Haitian were about to do some subtle body-disposal when Nathan came in and saw his father lying on the floor. So Angela had to act all "OMG, no" while Nathan called an ambulance. DAMMIT, NATHAN. WHY MUST YOU BE ALL CONSCIENCE-Y AND GOOD?
Shocker #5: (back in the present, now...) O.M.G. ARTHUR PETRELLI, YOU ARE A DEAD MAN. SOMEONE WILL FIGURE OUT HOW TO KILL YOU, AND WHEN THEY DO, I SHALL LAUGH. I SHALL FRAKKING CELEBRATE, YOU FRAKKING [BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP].
alternatively... USUTUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS SHOW AND KILLING OFF THE PRECOGS? SRSLY, WRITERS.... NOT COOL, MAN, NOT COOL.
ALSO. ARTHUR, YOU HURT HIRO, NOT ONLY WILL YOU DIE, BUT IT WILL BE SLOW AND PAINFUL. VERY SLOW AND VERY, VERY FRAKKING PAINFUL.
*deep breath*
Couple other things...
a) Linderman mentioned he had "a man in Montreal", who had worked for him in Vegas. Hmm... I can't shake the feeling that he was talking about Adam.
b) When Nathan and Peter were kids, they had a dog named Izzy. HEE.
c) Sylar's favourite flavour of pie is peach. LMAO.
I'm now going to go... hyperventilate for a bit, then watch some nice, calming, unstressful, Petrelli-free True Blood.
