For Thanksgiving, Heroes Embraces Mutant Family Dysfunction

Monday ’s episode of Heroes , “ Thanksgiving , ” represent one of those uncommon second when everything wrong with this show suddenly became right . It was a soapy tale of three intertwined , dysfunctional mutant family dinner – and it was old - fashioned freaky fun .

For some intellect , everything related to Claire is great this season . Her lesbotic leanings brought in a cool young character , Gretchen , along with the chance that we might actually see some homo action on this rather straightlaced series . Her father , HRG , has left the mutant oppression business and is trying to find himself , along with his long - lost special agent mate / proto - lover Lauren ( another bang-up reference ) . Meanwhile , Claire ’s mom has found a swain who loves hotdog as much as she does . And lucky for us , all these plot of land development make for a beautifully awkward Thanksgiving dinner at HRG ’s apartment .

What I guess was genuinely fun about this scene , excerpted for you above , is the way it seamlessly combined an ordinary minute of family unit meltdown with HRG ’s evil factor past tense and Claire ’s mutant power . This is Heroes at its secure , hypothesise about how over-the-top masses continue to top rather ordinary lives . Even better is when Gretchen finally exhibit up , chat up ensues , and the two girls secretly decide to roadtrip out to Samuel ’s carnival with a compass that Claire stole from HRG . Lesbotic route slip with carnie action , here we come !

And then there was the Petrelli family dinner party , which begin with scary Mama P stimulate her servants bring a clustering of prepared nutrient to Peter ’s apartment where Nylar ( AKA Body Sylar , Head Sylar , and Head Nathan ) are brooding broodingly about being all screwed up by Mama . All the emo ends chop-chop when Sylar return in an insanely cheesy explosion of lightning and eats an intact Cucurbita pepo pie ( but leaves the impudence ! WTF ? ) . So now Sylar is back , but Nathan is still somehow able to fight back him . In fact , by the destruction of the episode Nathan has emerged again to take over Body Sylar . The whole thing was a consummate scenario for a family controlled by scarey Mama , whose Word are just pawns in a biz so complicated we ’ve completely lost track of it .

Before Samuel shoots a rock into his brother ’s neck , he also give away that Samuel ’s magnate could move mountains and city and “ kill millions , ” which drive our boy pretty excited . “ I knew I was missing out on something ! ” he cries . Yeah , putting on eyeliner and opprobrious nailpolish all twenty-four hours is nothing compared to making whole metropolis do the pogo . So now Hot Tattoo and Hiro jazz the accuracy about Samuel ’s pal , and Hot Tattoo tell apart Edgar too . But Edgar is n’t really that smart , especially when he ’s not wearing his Sith power train . So he jumps up at the T - Clarence Shepard Day Jr. mesa and accuse Samuel of doing the dirty human activity , and then Samuel counter - accuses him of doing it .

You ’ve got ta have a go at it a carnie Thanksgiving where the guys argue over who killed their brother . Meanwhile everybody else is all “ this is aaaaawkward ” and tries to make believe the mutant stuffing is A-one tasty . When Samuel tries to hurl sway into Edgar , Hiro contain time and rescue the speedy tongue - thrower . Then he puts the smackdown on Samuel and is like , “ You need me . I ’m not going to do anything for you until you tell me where Charlie is . ” I like Hiro with a backbone . But then one of the carnies does a brain - mangle on Hiro that is supposed to make him easier to verify but alternatively causes him to disappear . Samuel ’s design are just not going well ! That ’s just what happen when you get the carnies together for family dinner – fratricide , time - hopping , shit - hurling , and mind - scrambling . It ’s a fine American custom .
