Heroes Volume 3 Refresher

As Heroes Volume 3 "Villains" concluded we had all sorts of new twists and turns in the storyline going on. Here's some quick refresher notes to prepare everyone for "Fugitives" which begins this coming Monday.

Hiro is Powerless - Arthur Petrelli took away Hiro's powers back in time and tried to leave him stranded. Luckily, good buddy Ando was able to inject himself with that magical power serum and gained a power. His power? The ability to supercharge any other heroe's powers simply by touching them. We saw it on display as he helped Daphne move so fast she traveled back in time to save Hiro. So now there's quite the role reversal as trusty sidekick Ando is the main hero, while Hiro is just another guy with good sword skills.

Peter is Powerful - We've had several seasons now with Peter in limited power mode. Now he's fully charged after he re-injected himself with the power-giving serum. The question is will he be limited yet again? For example will he be one of the first ones taken in by those hunting the heroes? Let's hope not, he deserves to have some fun with the full use of his powers.

Nathan is a Bad Guy - Nathan wants to do what he believes is for the best, following in daddy's footsteps. Unfortunately he's become rather diabolical and when we last saw the Senator he was asking for the President's help in capturing the people with special abilities, aka "the heroes". That makes them the fugitives this go round, with Nathan as the main headhunter.

Primatech & Pinehearst Gone - In the final episode of Villains both buildings were burned to a crisp, destroying all sorts of research and files on various individuals, as well as that serum capable of giving heroes powers. HRG no longer has a homebase to operate from, and there doesn't seem to be a place to keep the baddest of the bad "heroes" captive.

Matt & Daphne In Love -
The power couple of the show isn't Nathan and Tracy Strauss but instead Matt Parkman and his beloved Daphne. How long before Daphne tires of Matt's ability to read her mind? Then again, she can run off whenever they fight.

Mohinder & Tracy in ? - Hot blonde Tracy Strauss picked up hitchhiker Mohinder in a sleek sports car after the big Pinehearst blowup. Mohinder gets all the girls. Will these two hatch some sort of diabolical plan, or will Mohinder focus his attention on former love interest Maya?

Elle is Dead - Her boytoy Sylar cut open her skull and made sure to fully devour her electric powers. No more pretty Elle to grace the screen along with fellow bombshells Claire and Tracy.

Sylar is Dead, Again - Or is he? Most likely not because we all know Claire and Peter had something impaled into the back of their head, yet each was able to recover from the injury. Sylar has Claire's ability now too, just as Peter does. And spoiler alert, the commercial for the new episodes showed Sylar back in action...

Tune in to Heroes: "Fugitives" this coming Monday at 9PM EST on NBC!

This is a great refresher as we head into the next half of the season. Thankfully, the gap between the last one and this one wasn't too big, but it's still tricky to keep things straight sometimes.

I didn't hate the first half of the season as much some people did, but I did think it lost a little steam. I'm looking forward to the return of Bryan Fuller and Mark Verheiden to the writing staff to tighten things up again.

If you get a chance, head over to my blog, gagglefrak.com, and vote for your favorite LOL-Heroes. (It will make sense when you see it.)
