Heroes Season 2 Finale-Powerless

Rating:	★★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Science Fiction & Fantasy

At last, the long wait is over (at least for those guys, like me, who don't have NBC). The season finale has just been seen by yours truly, and i must give a standing ovation to the cast and crew that has made the finale truly unforgettable. Okay, its not as explosive as the finale of season 1 (that was uber cool!) but the Heroes team managed to pull their resources and end wonderfully despite the ongoing Writer's Strike (damn you!!!!).

Well Powerless (cool reference to an X-men storyline) was really about the Company, not the Shanti Virus. How they managed to create something that 12 founders believe could cleanse the world of all its impurities, after Adam Monroe convinced Arthur, Kaito and the others that the world is worth saving. Actually, its a nice concept. However, the ending seemed to be rushed (again because of the Writer's Strike, damn you!!). Nevertheless, here are some of the things i want to tell you guys.

First, i hated the deaths of Older Petrelli and Nikki (this isn't final though. From the story, Nikki was inside the building during the explosion and Nathan was shot to death by an unknown assassin). I mean, killing someone just to make the series good isn't really nice. Lets just hope that Claire's blood can heal them.

Second, i admired what Hiro and Noah did. Hiro, trapped Adam in a coffin (cool idea) where he would be locked for all of eternity, unless some idiot decide to unearth Kaito Nakamura. Too bad Peter didn't read Adam's mind to know his evil plan (one bummer *sigh*). And its nice to have Noah back. i guess he will be teaming up with the Haitian again since Suresh will be paired with Elle. The Company's policy of "one of them, one of us" is also really very exciting.

Third, the reunion is so cool. Petrelli brothers are really cool. Its just so bad that Nathan had to be shot before he could tell the world that he could fly. Kinda makes me think of my twin.

Fourth, there were characters that i think could've done something amazing in this season but was forced to be stopped because of the stupid Writer's Strike (okay, im not against it, but dang! my heroes!). Maya and Alejandro could've made it big, also with Monica and Damon. And how about Victoria Pratt? and especially to the Irish girl Caitlin. what's gonna happen to them? (except Pratt and Alejandro since we know they're dead)

So that's it. Overall rating is 4 and a half stars (4 on this site). Without a doubt, HEROES is really amazing. There were flaws but still, it rocked my evening. I'm so excited with their volume three: villains. SYLAR is back! Lets see what pandora box means next season.
