Was it just me, or did Heroes go out with a whimper last night? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it was a bad episode, however I expected much more…. perhaps I just set myself up for disappointment.
For weeks, they had been building up this huge battle between Sylar and Peter. A battle that could have literally changed the world. Did it happen? No… we got a bit of a tease, and then someone else popped in to stop Sylar.
Spoilers after the jump….
Don’t get me wrong. I love Hero, and I’m glad he finally got to save the day. But come on, pop in, stab Sylar, and that’s pretty much it? Some bad guy he was.
Of course… the last bit of the episode gave the impression that he’s not dead. Which brings to mind another question. If Sylar did slide off into the sewers like it gave the impression that he did, how come no one there noticed that Sylar’s corpse was gone? Not a single person mentioned it. Come one now! Heck, no one even noticed the drawing he made in his own blood… what was the significance of that? I guess we’ll have to wait for season two or three.
Speaking of future seasons… did we have a bit of foreshadowing as to the next bad guy? No, I’m not talking about Samurai George Taki, or the opposing Samurai faction. What did the little girl say? Someone worse than the boogy man… someone I cannot think about, because when I do he sees me. Hmm… interesting. Obviously, he has to have some sort of power other than the ability to see people who think about him. That’s another one for the upcoming seasons.
