Heroes--With Startling Revelations!!

This episode reminded me of why I got all wrapped up in this show in the first place.

The pacing was fast, the plot neatly interconnected, and the story full of stunning revelations!

Lets go over some of them:

Turns out the virus that Bob and Co. are manufacturing will wipe out 93% of the world's population.

And that boys and girls is why we don't design uber-bugs. Didn't any of those people see The Stand? The movie in which Molly Ringwald sets a whole new standard for "whiny?"

Back to Heroes, Ma Petrelli remains classy, even in an apocalyptic future. I think her power may be a really subtle compulsion. Think about it. Everyone ends up doing what she tells them to. Peter even recovers a bit of his memory, just because she said so.

And now, for my list of astonishing revelations. All Astonishing Revelations will be duly noted with an exclamation point of wonder and surprise at the end.

Irish girl gets left behind in an unpleasant future!

Jessica/Niki gets infected with the super drug!

Mohinder is a horrible spy!

Claire becomes relevant again!

Parkman grows a pair!! (That one was shocking enough for two exclamation points of wonder)

Molly wakes up!

Bob may or may not be evil!

Honestly, has anyone figured out his agenda yet? I haven't. Truly, he is a worthy of opponent for MEG.

Hiro is his own boyhood hero! (I totally called that, and I loved his little Ye-haa! yell)

Kensei is Adam!!!! I totally DID NOT call that one! Hiro helped create the Big Bad who's been actually controlling the Big Bad!! And also, he may or may not be evil.

Love that ambiguity.

I can't wait for next week, which promises to resolve even more plot issues. Yeah!!

He's not evil, just a really bad spy. He decided to break down and tell Bob everything.

The last 30 seconds. We learn that Sauron evil Nightmare man (Parkman's Dad) is actually being controlled by Adam. Adam gathered together the first 12 gifted people, inlcuding Hiro's Dad, Bob, and Mrs. Petrelli. He told them all that they would be Heroes and had a duty to save the world. But then he went a little crazy and started believing that they had to punish humanity in order to save it.

So Bob and Co locked him up, but now he has escaped and is killing them one by one.

Then we see Adam, and its Kensei! He's also connected to Peter somehow, but that gets explained next week.
