The third series of Heroes starts to get more interesting with this weeks episode ‘One of Us, One of Them’. We learn of Angela Petrelli’s plan for ‘her son’, we find out who Tracy is and Noah is back at the company and has a new partner!
After last week’s disappointing revelation that Sylar was the son of ‘Cherie Blair’, I wonder how this would start to play out. It seems she wants to use him for The Company's ends, she even ‘feeds’ him – by luring a company employee, who can know the history of any person/object just by touching it, to prove her intentions. She also plays with his mind, claiming that he has a ‘hunger’ that he can’t control. That hunger is of course, murdering people and taking their abilities. Sylar was then to join a disgusted Noah, who knows nothing of Cherie’s antics. I found this a bit strange, seeing as Sylar was fresh from cutting Claire’s head open!
Meanwhile one man who is certainly feeling the hunger at the moment, is fatty Matt, who is still stuck somewhere in Africa. Apparently his new mate has got the same ability as Isaac (he can paint the future) and has been painting about Matt, since he was a boy. It seems though, that he wants Matt to go on a ‘Sprit Walk’ and gives Matt his ‘magic headphones’ and Matt’s eyes go white like a crack addict. Not sure about this plot device, at all – magic headphones?
Tracy heads to New Orleans, to find out about Nikki, who is defiantly dead, as she finds out when she gets to the house and sees her coffin and opens it up. Little Micah is behind her and the lad (although to be fair, he’s probably hit puberty now) thinks she’s his mum. She isn’t and after a conversation, Micah helps Tracy to trace her roots and finds out that she was born at the exact same time as Nikki, at the same hospital and all this was supervised by the same doctor. Tracy leaves Micah, who I don’t think we’ll see again, and visits this Dr Zimmerman. Once there, we find out that he had ‘created’ her. This could result in a number of possibilities but I believe that Nikki’s ‘sister’ (or sisters?) are her other personalities and they all have a mental link. Sounds mental I know but this is Heroes, nothing is impossible!
Peter is still stuck inside the body of Jesse and whilst he and his gang are busy robbing money and threatening people, Noah and Sylar turn up. The other members of the gang want Noah dead, for capturing them. Although not all of them agree and the leader kills ‘The German’ by punching him right through his chest! Things would soon calm down but not before future Peter comes in, stops time and takes his present version away, to ‘show him something’. Sylar cleans up the remaining villains but not before locking Noah out and taking the powers of the men. He again comes up with the ‘I must feed my hunger’ line, which Cherie planted in his head.
Claire is taught a lesson by her birth mother, which got a little bit tedious for me. I’m starting to despise the Claire character, to be honest. Claire later drove off with one of her father’s boxes, presumably with files relating to The Company in it. Marvellous! But Hiro and Ando continue to impress, their ‘Batman and Robin’ partnership is getting better all the time. They track Daphne (aka ‘The Speedster’) down to Germany, where she is poised to steal the other half of the ‘formula’. The Haitian also pops up and does the exchange, on behalf of The Company. Hiro believes that they must follow him and after Daphne winds up Ando about his one-sided friendship with Hiro, they hit The Haitian on the head! This was to haunt them later as The Haitian caught up with them and locked them up in The Company’s prison. WHOOPS!
So with Sylar locked up as well, shower time should be fun! The Haitian is placed back with Noah and it seems Cherie has got one half of the formula. Daphne, or her employer, has the other but who is she working for? I can’t wait to find out!
8/10
Next Time: Hiro plays table tennis with Sylar, whilst Ando, the only one without powers, is crowned the ‘prison bitch’.
