Heroes: The Eclipse, Part 1

by Christina Gleason on November 24, 2008

Here’s what I want from the eclipse: The heroes lose their powers temporarily. They obviously have to get them back, or else they’d have to change the name of the show. But our super superheores (and villains) will only regain the ability to absorb other people’s powers… they won’t retain the powers they’d previously absorbed. No more super Sylar, Peter, or Arthur. Silly deus ex machina stuff.

Creepy Daddy Petrelli wants son Sylar to hook up with Elle. Eww.

Okay, entirely too graphic post-mortem with Mohinder. Will he get cured when the eclipse occured?

Hiro head bopping with the turtle is friggin’ hilarious. And Daphne is freaking out because Matt totally paused when she asked him if he trusted her. She needs to chill.

Why is Elle getting off on Sylar going all bad again? Not cool, Elle. not cool.

Mohinder is going all Mr. Hyde on us now. If Mr. Hyde was a lizard person. (Seriously, did anyone see any of those disputed ballots from Minnesota where that one guy wrote in “lizard people?”)

So… really bad time for Nathan to lose his powers, while flying. Although I suppose it could’ve been worse… at least he and Peter fell into the water. Elle and Sylar are the supervillain version of Bonnie and Clyde. HRG is totally going to kill Claire. Or almost kill Claire… maybe she doesn’t actually die. The picture Arthur drew only showed her bleeding, not dead.

Naked gelatinous Mohinder. Now without reptilian accessories!

Okay, watching Matt try to compel Daphne’s dad to let him in was absolutely hilarious.

“It’s happening again…” “Do you still have them?” “Yeah, I’ll go get them.”
Umm… what?

Noah didn’t shoot her. At least he doesn’t have to have the guilt of shooting his daughter as a training exercise when her powers went AWOL. No, he was just the target of the bullet that hit her. And if you think that’s bad, you should see the other guy. As in Elle and Sylar, sprawled and barely conscious on the floor.

It’s a surface wound. Good to know.

“It hurts… It sucks, but it’s wonderful.”

Hiro pelting Matt with corn is pretty funny. “Holy crap!”

Comic book shop is also hilarious. This whole 10 year old Hiro mentality is great for a little levity.

The Haitian’s brother is a villain from Level 5. Oh, he’s the guy who feeds on fear. This whole all in the family powers thing is a little much. Although I guess it would make sense, genetically.

And now Nathan has been taken prisoner by a Haitian warlord. Lovely.

Is it just me, or is this eclipse lasting a lot longer than the first eclipse did? I don’t actually know how long these things take in the real world. Which is more accurate, the fast eclipse or the slow one?

Matt is totally like a teenage boy right nwo. A little lovestruck puppy leaning up against Daphne’s front door. And Daphne… had polio? Or something else that left her handicapped.

Claire’s gunshot wound is infected, and her dad is gone.

What in the world is going to happen next week?
