BFFL Best Friends For Life

In a world where shows like "Lost" Overpromise and under deliver, it is refreshing to have a show that overdelivers. Heroes is on a roll. The last 3 episodes before the hiatus have all been incredible. This episode was no different. It seems that the hits just keep on coming.

First the good news... Mohinder figured out that Syler was Syler. On my prediction scorecard, I made quite a few points tonight. As predicted, Zane's death was reported in the paper and Mohinder saw it, while Syler did not. Of course the bad news is that like HRG before him, Mohinder failed to take terminal action when he had the chance. All of this leads to the final scene we have all been waiting for, the rematch of Syler and Peter Petrelli. I hope that Peter has enough control over his powers to make this a worthwhile fight. Everything we have seen so far leads us to believe this will be a great fight.

On another side of the country, HRG is ready to betray his organization. The love of his daughter is now his driving force. It seems that he finally trusted his wife to keep a secret. But the organization is onto HRG and now they have him in custody. I wonder what they will do to him next.

There's a new bad girl in town, and she seems to be able to project illusions. Not a shapeshifter, but able to use illusions to appear as anyone she wants. She works for the bad guys, and is the one that found out that HRG had gone rogue. Too bad. We know that he will survive, but the question is how?

Hiro has the sword now, and with it, his powers. He is back in the time travel and teleport business. He can even teleport passengers. Alas, the last we see of him is when he teleports himself and Ando into Post Apocalyptic NYC. Between that and the painting that Issac does of what looks like his own beheading, the bomb is getting closer.

Another hit on the prediction scorecard is Mrs. Petrelli. given the genetic link between all of our heroes, I guessed a long time ago that at least one of the Petrelli parents had some sort of ability. I don't think Mrs. Petrelli is just aware of what is going on, I believe tahat she has a power of her own. Looking forward to that one. At least Clare has been reunited with her other family for now and could be safe from the organization.

Finally, how could I forget the Linderman reveal? And what a great casting choice. Does Linderman have powers also? How does he seem to know what will happen in two years? Just talking about what he plans to happen, or does he really know?

Many of the Heroes are coming together finally, although I have no idea what happened to Ms. Hana Gittlelman, the email reader. Here today, gone to cyberspace?

I hate that they will leave us hanging for so long with so many questions, but at least they gave me something good to watch while Lost was busy being "Lost".
