Found Not Lost

Did you watch the episode last night? Again, I was a little distracted watching the show. I just may use the download to catch up on scenes I missed out on last night.

I knew Hiro couldn’t have killed Ando. The last episode ended with Hiro stabbing Ando just to become part of the ‘bad ass’ team. This episode, we find out it was just a fake so Hiro can infiltrate the new organization of bad asses. He got in and his first mission is to bring back the precog in Africa. Hmmm… how to keep a precog know you’re coming? This was actually the comedy relief of the whole episode last night.

In the meantime, Clair and her mom try to go rescue her real mom from the clutches of the puppet master. That’s the guy who can control everyone like a puppet.

I won’t break the whole show down for you because one, I’m too lazy to do that right now and two, I didn’t really get to see the whole episode as I said earlier so I wouldn’t do it justice anyway. Mohinder still irritates me.

Try the download, catch up on past seasons. Or visit the official website to watch last night’s episode.

So did you get to watch the season 3 premier of Heroes last night? It was 3 hours worth on on NBC! I heard the pre-show was very interesting. You heard right, I said “I heard”. Why? because I totally missed the whole first hour of the show! I had to go pick up my daughter from her field hockey game and didn’t get home until 9 p.m. which would have been ok as that’s when the actual episode started. But wouldn’t you know it, my three kids stayed in my room to watch the show with me and bickered through the first hour! I was so glad when they finally went to bed at 10. Honestly, if they hadn’t been bickering so much and giving me a headache, I might have let them stay up later just to finish watching the show.

Anyway, overall, the premier was just OK for me. I don’t know if maybe I’m just getting desensitized to the show and it’s losing its excitement or if the writing and story line is just a little bit off this time. It seems to me like everyone was doing stupid things or just acting weirdly out of character. It’s like watching a bad horror movie. Scenes that are supposed to scare you are funny or just plain ludicrous. It could have been my grumpy frame of mind, I don’t know. What did you think of the show?

Here’s some observations of scenes that actually penetrated my foggled mind:

Sylar goes after Claire, the cheerleader to get her powers to heal. He chases her around the house, locking windows and doors with his telekinetic powers and eventually corners her in a closet. I don’t know why he didn’t just kick the door down and grabbed her out of there. I could have done that without special powers. Go figure! They wasted time having him pace outside the door. Another thing, he conveniently finds a box belonging to Noah, the cheerleader’s evil/maybe-not-so-evil dad labeled “Daddy’s Office”. Inside, files of other people with powers, complete with their personal information. Convenient, eh? Oh and the brain operation thing Sylar performs on the cheerleader? Puhleeze already!

Then there’s my favorite guy Hiro, sitting in his daddy’s office pondering his destiny when lo and behold, his destiny knocks on the door. Asi, my 15 year old daughter, called that one. Hiro’s father left him one of those ‘if-you’re-watching-this-I’m-dead’ videos where he tells him there is a secret in his safe but “don’t open it”. What, would he Hiro do, you think? Of course he’s going to!! Lame… the rest of Hiro’s story line, chasing after some formula that the super speed villain conveniently snatches from him after he’s been told not to open it… lame.

Mohinder. Remember him? Son of the Indian taxi driver who was on a quest to find all who have unique abilities? Mohinder was all set to go back to India when he discovers a breakthrough with Maya (remember the girl with black eyes that kill?). Anyway, long story short, Mohinder gets super powers too and all of a sudden he’s acting like the air conditioning compressor broke and had to take his shirt off in what I felt was a gratuitous show of abs, which were not bad, by the way. So he gets some super strength powers but loses some brain cells in the process apparently. He and Maya have hot sex on the table, don’t ask me what that was all about other than to inject another gratuitous sex scene. Which brings me to… what the heck is up with that little twit Maya anyway? First Sylar now Mohinder?

Claire IS the train wreck in this episode if you ask me. So what was the point of saving the cheerleader again? This episode, she is back to her simpering little self at the beginning of the series. Like she didn’t learn a thing from the first series. Her dad apparently doesn’t think she learned anything either so he brings in her biological mother, the firestarter. Hmhmm… Oh, and one last stupid moment on her adoptive mother’s part, some psychopath with super powers is after your daughter and you’re concerned that he raped her? Maybe the erasing of her memory erased more brain cells that it should have. I can’t say anything else about that.

Parkman. You remember him? The cop who can hear thoughts? He’s lost in Africa…..   ‘Nuff said about that too.

Peter and Nathan Petrelli? I don’t know.. they just freakin’ lost me in all the brotherly love fest. I expected more and I was disappointed. Then there’s their mother who makes a final declaration at the end of this episode…… Sylar is also her son! tada!

So, what was your take on last night’s premier or Heroes?

What if you had to go away where no one can find you? Go away and leave everything you know and love behind. Where would you go?

If I had a choice, I would definitely go somewhere warm. I would stand out too much anywhere cold and that’s not an excuse. It’s a fact. Brown people don’t blend so well in the snow. So, if I were ‘disappear’, I would need to go where I can blend in but not anywhere obvious. So obviously, I can’t go back to the Philippines. That would be the first place someone would look for me.

Now just between you and me, and you’ve got to keep this quiet now as it is part of my secret fantasy, I would go south of the border. Shhh…. For one, my looks would blend in nicely. I speak a smattering of Spanish, just enough to pass. And best of all, and I would make sure my hiding place is close to the beach. Gotta have some water nearby!

So how about you, do you have a secret getaway place in mind? If you don’t, you should watch USA Network’s new original series In Plain Sight. You may be able to get some ideas. Hey, it doesn’t hurt to dream and it may come in handy one day.

Look at the characters in the new TV show, In Plain Sight. Did they dream they would have to go into hiding one day? No, of course not. None of them had a back up plan. That’s why they need Mary, the witness protection program agent assigned to protect and relocate them to make all the arrangements. Which, by the way, she does with efficiency and daring while dealing with her ditsy mother and sister at home. It’s a funny and interesting premise for a tv show, don’t you think?

Have you ever heard the phrase ‘hiding in plain sight?’ They do say that the best place to hind is where it is least expected. And who would expect something in plain sight to be hidden? That’s sort of the premise of USA Network’s new original series In Plain Sight which starts tonight!

Just reading the cast of characters and the premise of the new series, I am already intrigued especially as it relates to mother and daughters relationships, something very close to my heart, having been one of three sisters and now raising my own three daughters. Yeah, so mother daughter relationships, sibling rivalry and all the intricacies involved in these relationships is something I can relate to quite well and that’s one of the side plots of this new series, In Plain Sight.

The main premise of the series is about the older sister who is actually an agent for the witness protection program, responsible for protecting and hiding people, but her mother and sister think she has a boring courier job. This suits her fine as she doesn’t want them asking too many questions and worrying about her. Lesley Ann Warren, who can play air-headed characters a little too convincingly plays the unconventional mother and the ditzy and spoiled little sister is played by Nichole Hiltz. The series already sounds interesting. I’ll definitely be checking this out tonight, make sure you do too.
