This is one weird episode!

Matt's dad - is he ever messing the Heroes up!

Everyone is morphing around and flashbacking...I might have to watch this one twice in order to 'get it' all. Once on TV, once online...

Oh cripes - the virus mutated, too - to a strain immune to Mohinder's antibodies..... WTF??? Niki's gonna die now?

And Hiro just managed to time-trip himself home - to find out from Ando that his father was murdered.....whoa - a LOT happening...

Good luck figuring this one out, people...

I'll be back in a couple of hours

Claire Bennet not in this episode! This is a first! Claire has been in all the Season One episodes and the previous 4 Heroes Season Two episodes.

New character, Monica, shows off some uncanny abilities in this episode while our sweet little Micah tags along, watching.

Here's the NBC TV site link if you missed the episode:

Heroes Season Two Episode 5, "Fight or Flight"

Check out the synchronized fight scenes with Matt and Nathan. This was really well orchestrated!

New character, Monica, is also using her fists in this episode - watch for the excellent Bruce Lee moves. (There's also a cool movie clip shown of Bruce Lee...Monica is watching it on TV in this episode).

Let me know what you think. (Don't forget - there's chat software on the blog)

I realize that Season Two is well under way and we're heading into episode #4 tomorrow night already, but many people are just tuning in who missed last season. Some people are a little confused as to the characters (there are so many!).

Here's something that might help. I've created some lenses all about the Heroes characters and many complimentary lenses about the actors/actresses who play Heroes roles on the NBC TV show:

Heroes Character: Actor/Actress:

Hiro Nakamura Played By Masi Oka

Ando (Masahashi) Played By James Kyson Lee

Isaac Mendez Played By Santiago Cabrera

Claire Bennet Played By Hayden Panettiere

Mr. Bennet Played By Under Construction - HRG Horn Rimmed Glasses

Peter Petrelli Played By Milo Ventimiglia

Nathan Petrelli Played By Under Construction Vote Petrelli !!!

Sylar Played By Zachary Quinto

The Haitian Played By Jimmy Jean-Louis

Niki Sanders Played By Ali Larter

Micah Sanders Played By Noah Gray-Cabey

D.L. Hawkins Played By Leonard Roberts

Matt Parkman Played By Greg Grunberg

Mohinder Suresh Played By Sendhil Ramamurthy

Admittedly, this list is incomplete, but I hope it will be helpful. I will continue to update over the next week. I have about 6 more lenses 'almost' finished.

Check back soon - I'll post the lenses as quickly as I am able

The Heroes sci-fi, drama re-run tonight was the episode called "How To Stop An Exploding Man."

Apparently, at the end of the season, quite a few people gave this episode some negative votes. Some people thought that this season wrap-up episode was 'disappointing,' and that the wrap-up show could have been more exciting, with more flash'n'flair.

(Some people will always complain, eh?)

In my view, it was an enjoyable episode and I'm glad I have been able to watch it again on re-run. Now, I should be all caught up with the storyline before next week, when Season Two begins.

In the final moments of the eposide, How To Stop An Exploding Man, there is a final confrontation between some of the Heroes against Sylar.

In the end, a good old-fashioned fist fight is what Peter uses to drop Sylar to the ground - even though just moments before, Matt's bullets couldn't even take Sylar down.

*ouch*@Matt - who fell for the old 'frozen bullets-richochet-back' trick, perhaps one of the older tricks in the sci-fi book!

I can't wait 'til next week, when Heroes, Season Two "Generations" begins. I want to see if Matt is okay!

Speaking of 'frozen bullets' - I just remembered an awesome Korn video where the lead singer is able to freeze a runaway bullet before it strikes him - and then he sends the bullet back on a reverse path.

Some great effects

Watch!

===========================================
WHOOPS!!

Originally, I had posted the embedded video
here. When I checked the post and video to
see that it was working - DOH! - It hit me
that Korn's lyrics are questionable in parts
of this 'Freak On A Leash' song.

Obviously with the 'F' word in the lyrics,
I can't allow the video on blogger space,
but don't worry...

Instead, here's the link to view the video

Korn - "Freak On A Leash" - You Tube Video

Sorry for the mix-up there, people.

Enjoy the video - keep an eye on the bullet!

I'm sure that many people have noticed little quirks of the Heroes characters, which, in real life, might indicate odd psychological problems.

* Niki = MPD/Multiple Personality Disorder, Alcoholism
* Sylar = OCD/Obssessive Compulsive Disorder
* Claire = Self-Harming Behaviors
* Isaac = Multiple Addictions
* Peter = Self Esteem issues, leading to Self-Sabotage Syndrome
* Nathan = Fear of Intimacy and Relationships, emotional detachment
* Hiro = General Reality Perception issues
* Matt = Self Esteem issues, Self-Fullfilling (low achievement) behaviors
* Mohinder = Self-Esteem issues (2nd Child Syndrome) and unresolved Childhood Trauma surrounding the loss of his sister.

Most exhibit signs and behaviors related to low self-esteem, narcissism, some anti-social quirks and other behaviors that people with Mental Illness or Mental Disorders display.

Does it make you think, "Hmmm"?

I'm sure I will return to this topic often!
