Heroes - 3/5/07 - Parasite

Recap:

Peter and Hiro team up:
We learn that Nathan Patrelli is working for the FBI to try to take down Linderman. After he is called to Vegas for a meeting with Linderman, the FBI give Nathan a wire and tell him to record the conversation he has with him. Hiro meets up with Nathan (the "frying man" as he likes to call him) and he tells Nathan he needs to get the sword which Linderman has. Nathan pretends Hiro is his curator and gets him into the secure area with the sword, which Hiro takes along with the help of Ando. Nathan chats with Linderman (played by the illustrious Malcolm McDowell of Clockwork Orange fame), and learns that he knows about his abilities.

Meanwhile, back in NY, Suresh learns of Sylar's true identity. He drugs him and inserts some drugs that he thinks will keep him powerless. As he tells Sylar of the list, he slowly regains his powers. Soon, he attacks Suresh and leaves him hanging...literally. Peter attempts to make contact with Suresh, but as he enters he feels blood. He looks up and there is Suresh. As he says "Sylar", the man comes out of the darkness and starts to open Peter's head as he screams in pain.

Review:
A lot of people have been saying that this was a better episode than the previous. I don't agree at all. I mean, it definitely was pretty good, but it's tough to beat the previous one. I definitely think it did a great job of making me want to watch it when it comes back (unlike Lost has done).

Who knows, maybe the execs at NBC have finally figured out what ABC couldn't. Periodic Dramas are great, as long as there is some end in sight...if not, people will tune out. Overall, I'd give this one an 8/10.
