recap: heroes "landslide"

*spoiler alert! do not read if you have not watched the episode that originally aired on 5/14*

hiro and ando are in isaac's loft. hiro's moaning over failing to kill sylar, but ando tells him to grow a pair. ando tells them they can have the sword repaired. naturally, in the phone book there's a company that fixes swords (and has the creepy hero logo on it).

across town, the bennett/parkman/ted/petrelli/cheerleader reunion commences. mr. bennett agrees to let claire help "save the world" since it is her destiny. little do they know that sylar is close by and eavesdropping on their plans.

nathan and mr. linderman talk about nathan's political future. as long as nathan lets the bomb explode in nyc, he will be president one day. in the middle of some sappy moment about nathan's dad, nathan's wife interrupts them and he gives her a "gift". he touches her hands and we're lead to believe that he maybe healed her. linderman leaves and nathan and his wife argue about linderman. then of course, shazam! her foot starts moving and she stands up. she's healed!

the superteam (peter/claire/ted) are on their way to "saving the world" and peter overhears sylar overhearing them. peter panics and orders that they "get off the streets". i have no idea what good he thinks that will do, but we'll trust he knows what he's doing.

cut to ando and hiro who run into nathan. hiro tells nathan they are trying to stop the bomb and need his help. but nathan lies through his teeth and says they can't stop the bomb, "nobody can". hiro realizes it's too late to sway him and calls him a "bad guy" and a "villain".

hiro and ando take the broken sword to the shop to see if they can get the sword fixed. the shop keepter tells hiro it depends on "him". the door opens and it's zulu from star trek! hiro's dad! hiro is stunned to see his dad, and his dad tells him he has reached the end of his journey. although he is hesitant to speak to his father, hiro agrees to do so out of respect.

micah and the boring babysitter girl who can change what she looks like sit in the nyc apt. she bribes him with a comic books. keeps him somewhat happy. linderman walks in and says micah can change the world with his ability. and if he helps him, once he's done he can not only go home with his parents, but he'll give them a buttload of cash to be rich and happy forevs.

the superteam is walking down the street and suddenly fbi cuts them off. the blonde chick who was working with parkman arrests ted. claire and peter literally disappear and runaway to save themselves. turns out sylar phoned in an anonymous tip with their location under the alias "isaac mendez".

hiro and his dad talk about his journey and saving the world. and then hiro's dad becomes a total badass and tells hiro he's gonna give him sword lessons so he can kill sylar. AWESOME!

babysitter takes micah to the polls and has him "tell the computers" to vote for nathan petrelli. micah realizes the computers are all on the same network and assures the babysitter nathan will win by a landslide.

more snoozefest, jessica and DL find nathan. nathan wins the election by landslide just as micah said. nathan decides to help jess and DL find micah.

back to more exciting story, hiro and his dad have sword fighting lessons! badassery ensues! so awesome!

parkman and bennett are in some federal building to keep their "stop linderman" plan. they run into jess and DL and join forces.

out of nowhere, the whole molly/surresh storyline pops up. she tells surresh she is cured. she thinks about parkman and tells surresh he is in the building (she's totes right). eric roberts walks in and cuts their plans short because there is a helicopter waiting on the roof to take them to a "safe location". eric roberts is pissed and tries to stop bennett and parkman. and, IT'S A SHOOTOUT! eric roberts tries to kill parkman, but bennett gives him a lead sandwich instead. parkman and bennett make it to surresh and molly. but confusion city...bennett wants to kill molly. surresh has a gun on bennett, bennett has a gun on molly.

it's nighttime now and sylar flips over a police vehicle. he finds ted. he kills him.

back to the fun! hiro and his dad finish their sword lessons. dad is so proud! hiro goes out to find ando, but he is gone. ando has taken a sword to save the world himself.

claire and peter are stuck in traffic trying to get out of the city. they find ted's dead body and realize sylar stole ted's power.

oh this boring story again! jessica and DL find linderman and ask for micah. then linderman plays the money card and offers her millions of dollars if she kills DL. jess pulls the ol' switcheroo and turns into niki. she doesn't kill DL, but linderman shoots him. just as linderman is about to kill jessica, DL does it for her. it is assumed both DL and linderman are dead.

cut to nathan's victory speech. we see a montage of peter and claire, hiro going after ando, micah looking out the window, ando searching for sylar, blonde fbi chick, surresh and bennett. at the end of nathan's speech, we see sylar "practicing" his new power. THE END.

next week, the FINALE! it looks like DL is alive and reunited with jessica and micah. grandma petrelli says the bomb will go off. surresh takes responsibility for micah. parkman might die. claire tells peter the future isn't written in stone. and peter and sylar face off. GAME ON!

Danmmm ever since that future episode I find Milo hot....
Omg that episode was sooo good....so many ppl eating it.
the dude from A Clockwork Orange can bring things back to life so who knows what will happen.
Ok so we thought this dude was Nathan and Peters dad or i did and yet Clockwork Orange went off about how their dad was a pansy....
I was bored by Hero and his dad's conversations.....yes I know it's important ot the story but I was still bored.
And yeah the chick that can change her look is boring and I hope she eats it in the ifnale....We do need more villians in this show but she's more anoying than Eden was and I couldn't wait for that one to eat it.

And holy shite Eric Roberts ate it too....I didn't see that coming.

Peter better not die....he's my fave on that show.
