I know how they do it but, I don’t know how they do it… Each week of Heroes keeps getting better and better. Last night’s episode, “Parasite“, was incredible. I can’t wait to see how this all unfolds!!!
The commentary on Greg Beeman’s blog for “Parasite” is great this week. I highly recommend checking it out! I think he described this episode perfectly with this one statement:
“Holy sh*t!!! This is the holy sh*t-est episode yet! The shockers just keep coming! It may be too much for a weak-hearted viewer and we may need to attach a warning up-front! AWESOME SCRIPT!!!
“Holy sh*t!!! This is the holy sh*t-est episode yet!”: My sentiments exactly.
When I first started on this post, I thought I’d type up with a overview of all that occurred in the episode, but a pretty thorough synopsis of the episode is already up on Wikipedia: Heroes 1×18: Parasite. Without spoiling everything, below are some key highlights (taken from HeroesWiki) from this episode. (These are pretty tame as far as SPOILERS are concerned… but if you absolutely don’t want to know anything about this week’s episode, read no further.)
- Peter and Isaac each deal with the aftermath of Simone’s death.
- The Haitian’s attempt to lead Claire to safety takes an unexpected turn.
- As Jessica seeks to complete another assignment for Mr. Linderman, Niki begins to assert herself.
- Hiro’s quest for the sword reaches its conclusion.
- Nathan Petrelli’s relationship with Mr. Linderman comes to a head as they meet face-to-face.
- Mr. Bennet attempts to stay one step ahead of The Company.
- Suresh is forced to choose between revenge and research.
Heroes will return on April 23rd. If you use Google Calendar, I’ve been maintaining a calendar of Heroes and Lost episodes and have made it publicly viewable. In the lower right-hand corner there’s an option to subscribe. (Here’s the iCal version and XML version.) With each episode, I’ve tried to list what time the episode airs, what network it appears on, the title and episode number, and a brief description - obtained from the networks, or from Wikipedia… If you find it useful, let me know!

What a fantastic way for a show to go on hiatus. 6 weeks until my next fix.
Yep. April 23rd can’t come quickly enough. Hopefully they’ll rebroadcast previous episodes in the time slot like they did during the last break. If they don’t… well, at least I have all of the episodes off of iTunes already. I’m hoping to re-watch all 18 episodes between now and then.

Hello. I’d read on Hiro’s Blog that you sent an e-mail to the address provided but got a non-response to it. What *exactly* did you write? What was the subject you put in? Any text in the main message box? These are important as I think (STRESS: THINK) there’s a special “passcode” or whatever that has to be put in to the subject line. Just wondering; puzzles are a frustrating passion of mine.

I’m almost ashamed to admit it. I sent a message with the subject of: “How would one find a flower?” and in the body of the message, I wrote: “My mind is open. I want to hear the truth.” Shortly thereafter - probably 5-10 minutes later - I received a response: “Who are you? You’re not a truth seeker. Go away.”
I think the subject may have been what triggered the response… but the body didn’t contain the name Hana or some other passcode as you suggest…
If you figure it out, I’d love to hear about it.
