Hardly a Heroic Finale
NBC's once-grand science fiction/fantasy series, "Heroes," came to its third season (they call it fourth chapter) finale Monday, and it continues to prove why the show is basically on life support.
MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD (stop reading if you haven't seen the episode yet)
The show ended with a somewhat tepid showdown between Nathan the senator and Sylar, the evil guy who's been sucking up all the super powers by killing the other heroes.
At least it was a showdown for all of about 10 seconds until Sylar cut Nathan's throat and killed him. (I warned you about spoilers).
Then the outrageous happened that might get fans wagging their tongues today.
In an effort to keep Nathan around to help the government stop the madness of hunting down other heroes, Noah (Jack Coleman) and Nathan's mother, Angela (Cristine Rose) come up with a plan to "revive" Nathan.
Because Sylar is now a shape-shifter and now is unconscious after being captured, they get Matt Parkman, the guy who has powers of suggestion, to infuse the idea that Sylar is now Nathan.
In other words, he tells Sylar's mind that he is now Nathan, causing him to change to Nathan's identity completely.
Say What!!!????
So Nathan is still "alive" though he's physically Sylar inside.
I really can't provide an analysis beyond that I think this series is dead in the water. Not very poetic of a review, but I'm too disappointed to carry on.
Meanwhile, here's the video of the final episode if you haven't seen it. I'm going now. I can't bear to watch it again.
