HEROES 4.11 “Thanksgiving”
Airdate November 23, 2009
Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that could turn out really great, or uber-awkward. And in rare cases, just plain explosive. Like this HEROES episode “Thanksgiving”, where we take a sneak peek at the Bennet Thanksgiving dinner –
Talk about awkward. Sandra brings her date (ugh! – sorry, but Doug Douglas is a caricature, it’s not even funny.) And Lyle is totally absent, poor kid, that’s what you get for having a powered-up sis. I can’t believe Noah and Lauren just bumped into each other at the mall, but then I remember now that Lauren erased her own memories of her infatuation with Noah, so it looks like it’s Noah who maybe pining for something more this time. So in the middle of dinner in the “what are you thankful for?” Q&A, Claire butts in that as a freak, maybe she belongs some place where she can be herself. Of course Noah knows exactly what she’s talking about. And poor Doug has no clue at all, but oh, how he tried to “understand” Claire. You know anything can happen after that comment.
Over at the Petrelli family, I say things are way beyond awkward. Danger signs should be posted at their door.
Peter confronts his mom about the dead body he found in a storage facility and she lies through her teeth about it being a shape shifter. Is Nathan really dead? – the brothers ask their mom, but ever the matriarch that Angela is, she still manages to put her kids in their place, at least for a few moments.
What bothers me is where is Sylar?! Is he somewhere in Nathan’s head? How come he hasn’t gotten his full faculty back yet, like he thought he would once he touches Nathan? I’m sure he’s in there somewhere but it still looks like Nathan has control. I wonder how long before Sylar gets out.
