Heroes half asleep...

I am so tired. Today one more round ngan Jue nak tolong send invites, jenguk member media yang lain nak invite for this Friday's event.
Anyway, we sped about KL and then it started to rain towards the late evening. When I saw this. Ok, so you guys know now I love rainbows.

Just maybe.. it's a sign for me. Of something coming. We'll see. This week banyak will be unveiled. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Owh... isn't that pretty


Nothing much to post today. Saja nak update last week, and this week's episode of Heroes yang baru siap download terus aku marathon! Just a recap for fellow Heroes freaks like me. Again, if you haven't been following, don't read! Kang nanti marah aku lak kata spoiler.

More tomorrow.. till then, enjoy the recaps.

Episode 4 - I am Become Death



Suresh gets his panties in a knot over his new powers., even beating up his wife-beating neighbour. Is this how they highlight the dilemma of him abusing his powers?
I would knock that guy out cold if I was him.

Still stupid neighbout extra goes to pay a visit to Suresh later and gets whooped - again.

Tracy meanwhile finds out from Dr Zimmerman that she, and her identical twins, Niki and Barbara were diven powers via DNA manipulation and yes, the process is irreversible.

Niki is 'confused' over her powers and after paying a visit to Nathan, jumps off a bridge to kill herself, only to be saved by Nathan who exposes his power of flight. She in turn, exposes her powers. They then expose themselves to gratiutous sex we're not exposed to. Damn!

Matt gets a look into the future, thanks so some gunk he eats and the awesome Heroes soundtrack over the headphones, goes all white-eyed and sees into the future.

Also four years in the future, present Peter, taken by his future self, sees that everyone has powers, with people flying about. Apparently people zooming about with powers, are those who have taken on abilities with just an injection.

Future self says present Peter has to stop the person making the abilities.serum. He also says present Peter has to get to Sylar and get his abilities to avoid making mistakes. Whatever that means.

Present Peter wants to see Nathan, Claire and Suresh - but future self says they're not the same folks. "Not all of us were born with abilities, some of us were made" and sides had to be chosen, which inspires the discussion - we know that Suresh injected himself with his DIY formula - but does that mean Claire and Nathan too were 'created'?
Claire appears and shoots future Peter while the present one gets away.

Claire brings dead future Peter another spot. Daphne and Knox are there, so obviously in the future, they belong in the same faction. Confusing eh? Laying the foundation for grander storylines.

Anyway, Claire wants to use Molly to locate Peter who has gone to see future Suresh who has turned into some gooey, slimy creature with extremely bad skin.

Future Peter wants to visit Sylar and through some mind reading, gets the directions from Suresh.

He pays a visit to Sylar - in Costa Verde! In the Bennets' house! Where Sylar is making waffles!!! With his 'son'!!! Named Noah!!!!!! What the...

Sylar lets out they're brothers. Peter wants Sylar's abilities, which the latter warns him not to absorb as the ability of understanding how things work also comes with a hunger, to kill.

I wish I had the ability at this point - so I can answer the question who the hell had Sylar's baby!

Anyway - Sylar asks peter to fix that broken watch - and that surprise surprise gives Peter the power!

Meanwhile, Daphne goes back to - Matt!!!! They've had a baby together in the future, and Molly is their adopted child kind of thing. Matt finally allows Daphne to use Molly to locate Peter.

Daphne, Knox and Claire move in. A scuffle breaks out. Strangely enough, both Peter and Sylar have the ability to freeze time which should solve a lot of problems but they end up in a bar room fist fight.

Noah gets splattered - and Sylar goes ballistic before blowing up!

Future Nathan and Niki meanwhile - as the President and first lady calls the crater formerly known as the former Costa Verde the greatest American tragedy - they always like to top themselves.

Present Peter gets into S&M mode and starts cutting up Peter, when Nathan drops by. Fuelled by the hunger from Sylar's abilities, Peter cuts up Nathan! Woohoo!

He goes to the present and confronts Sylar.

While Knox is believed to be dead, Daphne appears to the doorstep saying she wasn't fast enough with half of her back all yucky like Suresh.

And Matt in the present isn't too happy with things.

Hiro meanwhile is stuck with Ando in Level 2, and while both of them have that endless tiff about the you the hero, me the sidekick issue (this is as boring as the season two Claire and West sh*t)

The Haitian pops up and the plan is off.

The Haitian takes Hiro and Ando to meet Angela, and they're tasked with getting the formula back.

So what do they do? They release the Kensei - or Adam.

Suresh is going through his stupid Spiderman into Venom dilemma, and that's coming between hot sex between him and Maya

Episode 5 - Angels And Monsters




Suresh kicks off the week's action by getting another victim - to do whatever is is we're not shown.

Or actually we are, as he continues to play Spiderman, by putting his victims in some sort of strange webbing for whatever.

In the end, Maya discovers Suresh's weird fetish for wrapping people in webbing, and becomes part of his collection too.

Peter meanwhile is pissed and breaks Sylar's neck when he discovers they're brothers.

He confronts Angela who shows up and begins cutting her up before Sylar steps in,

Noah meanwhile calls Sylar for another duty - to recapture another Level 5 escapee.

Tracy and Nathan pay a visit to Angela, and they both find out, as confirmed on Tracy's side, and suspected on Nathan's side, that they're made - not born with abilities.

Meredith meanwhile goes to Claire's rescue but she barks up the wrong tree by visiting the Eric Doyle character and succumbs to his power.

Claire in actuality is paying a visit to bug zap Steven Canfield.

Noah and Sylar pop up. Claire and Steven have talked things out - but Steven escapes when the captors are hot on his tracks.

When they track him down, Noah cuts a deal. Open up a black hole and suck in Sylar and be released or else. Steven decides he won't be a monster - and earn more as a glorified extra for the show - so he opens up a black hole that sucks himself in.

Hiro and Ando meanwhile screw up - again which results in Adam escaping.

Daphne and Knox want to recruit Hiro for Pinehearst, on condition he kill Ando - so he stabs Ando with a sword. Bet you Ando's coming back in some boring time warp way next week.

That is until Knox captures him.

Finally, Angela revisits the future which she can dream up - and sees Nathan, Tracy and Peter dead.

The mysterious character stop her by freezing her unable to move!

And just who is the mysterious person?

We're shown this through Matt's dad, the mind reading guy who visits this dude all hooked up on tubes.

He tells of how the team is coming together nicely. And we discover Linderman's appearance is all the work of him, including the recruitment of Daphne.

And the person? He addrsses as? Mr Petrelli. Oopsies! The old man not dead and is the actual menace! Very Dallas and Dynasty kan? To keep it all in the family...

Heroes! Lots of it too!

Ok, first of all, be prepared for total geekiness. I am about to be excited by something that is not very exciting. Yes, if you are not turned on with anything with wires or USB ports, this is NOT your thing.

Semalam actually didn't do much, apart from picking up my sis in Ampang, heading back home to have lunch with the folks, and then later going for a bout of shopping with her for some small stuff she needed to bring along and then on to KLIA to catch her flight to Jakarta.

But she passed something to me, which I thought was so sweet because I been thinking about getting it but haven't. Lo and behold, worship at my feet, oh geeks!




If you're going like... what the #$%^!!!!, don't blame me! You were warned. Yes, it's my new portable external hard drive! Yeay! More memory space! My 160GB is already packed full with music, work and especially lots of movies and complete or near complete seasons of Pussycat Dolls Presents, America's Next Top Model, Project Runway as well as all my magic tutorials, so wanted to get another one. Didn't aim for a 250GB though it sounded enticing, but sis got the Maxtor one for me for just RM250!

Yeay! Hurrahs all around!

Ok, so I'm not going to post anything lengthy because me wanna transfer some stuff about. So I'll leave you guys with the recaps of the first three episodes of Heroes which I have wanted to post for ages now. Heroes fans unite!!!!

I'm kind stoked on the new season, because not only is it faster paced, it's also got more colour to it this time, without trying to be too intelligent, and yet having more than enough twists in the plot to make it watchably fun!

Oh nevermind. If you haven't watched the first three episodes, note that too bad if it becomes a spoiler for you ok! You were warned. Also those looking forward to episode four like me, there are some spoilers below, so stop where you should, or risk knowing, or at least having a clue of what is going to happen!

Ok, just a recap.

Episode 1 - The Second Coming


Opens with Claire about to blow Peter (ok that sounded wrong), his brains, people his brains.. out. It's a future setting and apparently Peter says he'll change things by going back.

And he does, solving our mystery of the past season of who shot Nathan. Future Peter did! Apparently to stop him exposing those with powers.

But since he's one of the hotter ones in the series, Nathan lives, believed to be because of Claire's powers, which were absorbed by Peter, and passed on through blood transfusion. A little too Falcon Crest? Oh well...

Meanwhile Matt is sent to a desert like plain by Peter when he discovers Peter responsible for the shooting.

Peter goes back to kick Nathan's ass and finish the job, still he decides otherwise when Nathan sees thelight and decides not to blow the whistle on their existence.

He bumps into Angela who asks what happened to the real Peter, and turns out, he's been put into the body of an inmate in Level 5 - a high security prison for those with powers.

Meanwhile, Nathan gets a visit from Linderman, though it's anyone's guess whether he's real or not.

Hiro meanwhile has taken over his father's company and is left in a will of a great secret to guard. It's a formula, or at least half of it.

He however loses it immediately to the first new 'hero' we meet, which is a blonde speedster.

A trip to the future later, Hiro sees mass destruction and his ass kicked by Ando who has Streetfighter's Ken and Ryu meets Mortal Kombat's Raiden's ability to shoot lightning bolts!

Suresh comes across a startling discovery on how adrenaline has something to do with activation of one's powers. Which leads to discovery that he can come up with something to give people powers. Which is not something Maya is looking forward to. Though the possible sex sound tempting, I guess.

He injects himself with the new stuff and goes through a Spiderman meets Venom transformation and has new found powers of amazing strength and agility. Spiderman? Yes, Spidey is now reincarnated as an Asian. Too Spidey! Already think Suresh is boring, being Spidey doesn't make him more interesting...

Sylar meanwhile pays a visit to Claire. He cuts her open, but of course she can't die. We find that she lost all sense of pain.

Instead of sucking out Claire's noggin, when she asks if he's going to do it, Sylar merely picks at it and comes out with the best line of the series with, "Eat your brain? Claire, that's disgusting!"

So he is now immortal too. And when Claire asks why he won't kill her, he replies the obvious that she can't die.

Meanwhile, Niki is back. No, not Niki Saunders, but another doppleganger in Tracy Strauss who is the Governer of New York's aide or something.

A new symbol appears with the helix now bright orange, running though Earth.

Episode 2 - The Butterfly Effect



Claire is all emo because she can't feel pain anymore because she thinks it makes her feel less human. So much so she throws herself in front of a moving train.

Angela sees Hiro stabbed with the sword, Matt with his throat slit, Knox killing Claire (you'll know who he is later - and she's beheaded which is the only way she can die), Noah and Peter dead as well. Angela is then confronted by Niki (or one of her many alter egos), what's the name of that dude - Matt's bad ass dad, Adam and Knox before she Sylar comes to her, presumably on her side.

It's some some of dream. She meets future Peter and tells him not to screw with the future. The butterfly effect, she mentions - step on a butterfly today, three years from now, a million people are wiped out.

Maya walks in on Suresh who shows off his new power, which includes getting horny, something not thought possible before this. And with a personality too! Yes, that does sound impossible doesn't it.

Anyway, it's not just powers that make him Spiderman like. He gets all this yucky boils and his body starts peeling with gunky chunks. Eew!

A reporter approaches Tracy and reveals her 'past' as Niki which she has no clue of.
On the second time, she grabs him and discovers she's got Mr Freeze powers! We always knew Ali Larter was a cold b***h so about time she got powers suited to her personality, despite the new personality not quite her.

She meanwhile approaches Nathan, and offers him a spot as a junior senator.
Hiro and Andi meanwhile travel to Daphne's apartment. She gets away again but not before he manages to plant a tracker on her.

Elle meanwhile is having daddy issues. When she finds out Sylar's in the building and her dad's dead, all hell breaks loose on Level 5.

Sylar is about to cut her open when her powers blows up in Sylar's face, letting loose some of the Level 5 inmates located in Primatech.

Angela Petrelli takes over as head of the Company. Sylar's in the slammer and Noah's gone, as are the inmates.

Noah goes back and tells Claire he has to track down the baddies, and leaves his family in the care of Meredith Gordon. Remember her? Claire's biological mother, who has the ability to cal up fire.

Matt wakes up to a speaking turtle or so he thinks. He meets his new friend.

A mention of Britney Spears later, he discovers he's in Africa.

He asks for a cell phone in a build up for a partner promo.
"No service here. Should have gone with Sprint!"
Ah... commercialism be thy name.

So he embarks on a 'spirit walk'.

The real Peter meanwhile is rolling with the juiced up hoodies and causing mayhem.

In the last scene, Angela reveals the biggest shocker of the episode.

That Sylar is also a Petrelli! Yes, Gabriel is the son of Angela, and the brother of Nathan and Peter, and uncle of Claire.

Episode 3 - One Of Us, One Of Them


Things continue with Bridget, who has the power of seeing the history of anything she touches.
Angela apparently has given the first gift to her son, by giving him another power, by allowing her to feed on her.

Noah meanwhile approaches Angela, to help put the inmates back behind bars.
The Haitian is unavailable - on assignment for Angela, and according to Noah it's the rule - one of us, one of them. Ah.. hence the title.

So the one of them in mind, is actually... Sylar!

Angela goes against Sylar's own belief he's just a killer and convinces him that he's more capable than that.

Present Peter in the body of Jesse, along with The German, Knox and Flint, pull their first job post Level 5 at a bank where we get a first taste of all their powers.

Why'd they have to kill of Jesse so fast?


Knox calls the police because he wants the Company recruits to show up to exact revenge. He kills the German (fastest death in Heroes history?).

Knox discovers Peter in Jesse.
Noah moves in alone, insisting Sylar stays back.
Noah is caught in a hopeless situation, especially when as present Peter unleashes Jesse's power, future Peter freezes time and pulls him out of Jesse's body.

When all of them recover - Noah's in deep s**t as Peter's out of Jesse.
Sylar comes to the rescue though. Flint is shot by Noah, while Sylar gives in to his urge for brains by killing Jesse and has sushi brains for lunch. So bye bye Jesse too.

Hiro and Ando track the speedster whom Hiro calls Nemesis. Her name's actually Daphne, and she's intercepting the exchange of another half of the formula in Berlin after selling off the half belonging to Hiro.

They discover their powers gone, and Hiro spots the Haitian which he has come across before, and suspects of pulling the deal for the other half of the formula.

They manage to grab it off the Haitian, but Daphne again, outwits them. Not too much of a task there.

Claire is meanwhile having issues with both her mothers.

And both are trying to get her off playing superhero, which doesn't work because she makes off with a box of Primatech documents.

Tracy meanwhile approaches Nathan, and says she wants to track down Niki to New Orleans.

She does. Niki's in a casket, having died from the fire (strange that there be no marks).She meets Micah, who immediately knows it's not Niki and loses hope of appearing in more episodes.
He helps her discover the link between Tracy and Nikki - both of them were born on the same day, in the same hospital with the same attending doctor present - Dr Zimmerman.

She pays him a visit - and the whole thing closes with his statement that, "I created you".

Matt gets a browse through of the art works of the African dude, which is everything off a stalker's dream - every single bit of Matt's life etched on the walls.

Except while the past is fine, the present has been erased. Turns out spooky African dude has Isaac Mendez like abilities to paint the future - complete with same cool pupil-less eyes.
Matt goes in the same trance with some help which assumably is for him to see what's going to happen.

Angela meanwhile still has faith in Sylar, while Noah and the Haitain reunite as Flint returns to Level 5 along with Hiro and Ando placed in the facility.

Episode 4 titled I Am Become Death will be available most probably by Tuesday.But if you have been following Heroes all this while and want some insight into what wil happen in the next few episodes (5- Angels And Monsters, 6 - Dying Of The Light), here are some SPOILERS below.
And if you haven't watched the first three episodes, oh bloody read it anyway cause you already found out too much by now. Be posting soon...

*SPOILERS*
-We'll get to learn the terrible truth about Sylar's secret past. If there's indeed anything more to Learn apart from being Angela Petrelli's other son. Perhaps?

- There'll be a Justice League-style battle between good and evil.We can already see that happening now, but it's supposed to be big time.

- We'll get to meet as many as a dozen new super-powered people. So far we've seen a handful, so it should be pretty interesting.

- Apart from the return of Linderman who was killed, and Claire's real mum returning, expect also to come back - Adam Munro or Takezo Kensei, and Niki Sanders. How the hell does Niki return when she's dead??? Cloning? With so many hers running around, not impossible.

- Hiro and Ando will be the one to return Kensei as they dig him out of the grave he's buried in.

- Suresh and Maya are obviously headed for a shag, but it doesn't end well.

- Seven of the 12 villains that will be unleashed from The Company’s Level 5 that will come into play are The German (can manipulate steel - killed last week), Eric Doyle (a puppeteer who can make people do his bidding), Benjamin “Knox” Washington (gains strength by feeding of fear of those around him - recaptured), Flint (can shoot blue fire from his hands - recaptured), Jesse Murphy (can project concussive power through use of his voice - got his brains sucked out by Sylar),Stephen Canfield (can create black holes), and Samedi.

The bad guys


- Matt apparently gets to see the future where now, everyone can fly (so AirAsia)

Production shots of shooting of the flying scenes


- Hiro may just ditch Ando who seems to be crossing over to the Dark Side. Ooh! Doyle gets to feature in this episode and Meredith, Claire's mum is the victim.

- There will the introduction of a rival company called Pinehearst Industries which will be joined by Hiro and several others.

- A fifth Niki will be introduced. After Niki, Jessica, Gina and now Tracy Strauss, get ready another one of Dr Zimmerman;s creations.

- Elle and Claire will end up BFF (best friends forever - well sort of) when Elle needs help to sort out herself from overloading her electric charges.

- Remember Molly? Sweet little thing will also return.

- There's be another Heroes romance (hope not as yucky as the Claire and West one)

- Weird alternate reality thing happens when Sylar takes over Bennet household and makes... waffles???!!!

- Hiro teams up with Daphne and Knox after Adam fails to produce any results in helping seek out the formula or the buyer who engaged Daphne.

Heroes is back!




It started two weeks ago. But it was worth waiting to watch four hours straight worth of the season three of Heroes!

Had downloaded the premiere party, and also the back to back episodes of the season opener, but kept waiting to watch it one shot for a marathon session of Heroes.

All I can say is, I'm done with the first, am on to the second and third now, and the only thing I can say is... OH MY GOD!!!!

Volume three dubbed Villains... is nothing short of amazing! And I think it'll pick up momentum from where season two lowered down the level a notch.

Won't say anything more! But people die!!! And people come back to life!!! And lots of new characters - including hot bad guys!

Yeay! Will post review soon.
