Heroes: Brave New World Review


The Season finale of heroes aired this Monday.  Stupid Olympics causing Heroes to end early.  Any way we saw the last of the Carnival and Samuel story to be wrapped up.
 
We return at Matt's house where Eli confronts Matt and tells him that Peter, Sylar and Matt are needed to stay out of Samuel's way.  Sylar incopassitates Eli so they are free to go but Matt doesn't want to see Sylar go out to the world.  Matt tries to turn Peter thoughts of Sylar around but lets him leave after looking inside his head.  After the dynamic duo leaves Matt pushes a thought in Eli and sends him out. 
 
I really thought that for a second Matt was going to try and pull the whole mental prison thing again but I'm glad to see he let Peter and Sylar go.  Also, poor Matt in that scene having his leg broken in by the Eli gang.  I'm just happy to see them not flay him like a pork loin.

Claire and Noah are still trapped underground and Noah starts to think that this is the end for him.  After Noah passes out Tracy arrives and saves both of them by making a waterway escape.  Once they meet Lauren on the surface they all take a chopper to go stop Samuel in NYC.
 
Hiro wakes up from his surgery and finds an 90 year old Charlie in the same Hospital, convenient right?  After telling Hiro stories about her life he decides to go back in time to save her although Ando thinks it might mess things up more.  Hiro tells Charlie he is going back to rescue her but she insists on him leaving things alone because of what would happen to her family and the life she led.  Ando gets a call from Noah saying that they both must go to the Carnival to stop Samuel.
 
I'm glad I'm not the only one who found it convenient that Charlie happened to be in the SAME hospital.  Talk about your plot devices.  But yeah, I honestly expected Hiro to go back to get her till her grand-daughter came in.  Then I knew Hero Hiro wouldn't go back because Charlie was happy with the life she lived.

Samuel tells Emma she is going to play the Chello and just as she begins to heed Peter's warnings her body is controllled by the evil Doyle.  Things start to come together when Emma starts to play and the Heroes arrive.  Sylar goes to stop Emma but hits a speedbump when he meets Doyle. While Doyle is distracted Emma and Sylar take him out.  Claire tries to convince the carnies that Samuel is evil but they don't believe her until HRG, Edgar and Eli tell the carnies about Samuel's attack on the carnival.  As the Carnies leave Samuel starts his reign of distruction to show his power but is taken out by Peter.  Samuel is then left power less once Hiro teleports them all out of the carnival.
 
I feel like for a final battle we were left disappointed yet again.  All we got to see was Peter and Samuel play push the dirt pile.  When are we gonna get to see a season finale battle that blows my mind?  The closest I think we've gotten is season 2 with Adam and Peter.

 At the begining of Volume 6 we see all the Heroes reccouperating from Samuel's show.  Claire is asked about the show from a news crew and shows the her ability in front of the whole world.
 
This was a fairly good Season Finale but I think it would have been better if Hiro was left out of it.  The whole time the Hiro and Charlie stuff was going on I kept thining, what is Samuel or Claire or Peter doing?  This would have been better if all of that was cleared up in a previous episode and all Hiro did was Teleport the carnies.  I am glad we got to see what HRG is like drunk while he was in the trailer, and he is a happy one: called it!  I can't wait to see what is going to happen next season with the whole outing the specials thing, we have the possibility of mutant hunts or registration.  I think next season Heroes is going to start to look a lot like the X-men.

I have to agree with Razz for the most part.  I said my piece on how the season could have ended.  I will say that I do expect some kind of X-men/Marvel registration thing for Heroes in the near future.  The other path they could go is to bring back the Company but have them more of a public government type thing.  If season 3 taught us anything, it's that just capturing them isn't going to work at all.
See Ya & Till Next Time,
Mike & Razz
