Heroes: The Wall Review


This week we have the second to last episode of Heroes for this season.  We see what happens after Peter goes into Sylar's head and the aftermath of Samuel's Carnival hunt.
 
We return with Peter and Sylar both inside Sylar's head, which looks a lot like LA, who knew.  They are both working to try to get out to go save Emma at the Carnival but for some reason Peter's ability won't work.  After a month or so trapped they find the "wall" in Sylar's mind that is trapping them in there.  They both work for days to try to destroy the wall and finally have a heart to heart talk about their pent up anger about Nathan. Peter tells Sylar he needs the anger to keep Nathan alive.  Peter finally forgives Sylar and they are able to break out.  On their way out to the carnival they run into Eli who is ordered by Samuel to stop them. 
 
I liked these parts of the episode.  We got sarcastic Sylar and no nonsense Peter going back in forth with banter followed by a heart felt moment that leads to a resolution to a problem that started at the beginning of the episode.  Wait, I just explained a sitcom's episode....oh well.  I think Peter and Sylar should get an apartment after this and have wacky hijinks.  Or that could just be me....

Samuel takes Claire to her father after he tries to sway her devotion to Noah.  Claire is shown Noah's memories of his past 25 years from his first wife who was killed by a TK to his first kill to him meeting Thompson and joining the company.  And Claire also sees HRG threatening Gretchen to bring Claire back from the carnival.  Samuel catches Lauren in the carnival and he talks to her about his plan to take the world with the power of the carnival.  After an argument with Samuel Claire goes to free her father from a trailer but before they can escape Samuel buries them in the ground.  Samuel then pulls up stake and goes to central park where he will reveal the carnival.
 
I feel like this was some good back story for Noah.  Who would have thought that he would have been previously engaged and pregnant?  It really shows the beginning of what is the transformation of Noah to HRG.

This episode did a lot of setting things up for next weeks finally which looks to be one of the better season finales.  The Sylar and Peter stuff was kind of Corny but it is always a little bit awkward when those two have a scene together and they aren't trying to kill each other.  Samuel is really getting more and more desperate which causes him to get more evil.  So watch next week's episode and see what happens with the carnival.
 
See Ya & Til the Next Time
