So The Future Kinda Looks Like Nevada #HeroesReborn #NBC

It has been a long week, ladies and gentlemen and I am thoroughly
exhausted. I'll be speaking about my activities from the previous
week in and upcoming post but for now just know that my days were
spent doing manual labor from 10am to 7pm just in my yard for my
"vacation." Then I came in and would still try to work and
do some blogging. Maddening stuff. Anyway, with all my day time
consumed I would have lost my mind had I not been able to relax with
some prime time TV of my fave shows' winter finales (#WinterFinale).
One such show was Heroes Reborn (#HeroesReborn). After the past few
episodes in which it was revealed the history of Tommy, the weird
white eskimo girl that turned out to be his sister, the Katana Girl
and a slew of other secrets (really, if you haven't been keeping up
you've got to take the weekend to binge), this week the show turned
its eye toward the future.
A brief glimpse at earth over 7,000 years into the future from last
week with Katana Girl continued into this week as she approached the
oasis city in the barren wasteland that was the remains of earth.
Remembering that she was a digital manifestation, a mimicking program
based off of a real live girl who was dying, she wondered how she
suddenly appeared from nowhere several thousand years after her
initial creation. Wasting little time, she immediately starts kicking
butt in the new city, this gateway to the future, she comes across
her own father or rather the guy who created her. Not only does he
introduce her to the real life girl on which she's based, he gives
her a new mission similar to the old one to find and save the time
traveler who is now Tommy and not Hiro.
Speaking of, Tommy awakes to the house (read: lair) of the evil
Renautas CEO lady. Giving him a hell of a pitch that even made me
think she was one of the good guys (still think she might be), she
convinces him to take them to the future so they can see her plan to
save the world and how it's going. The future the same as with Katana
Girl, he sees nothing for miles until they go to the future city.
There, he encounters tons of scientist and other worker bees trying
to grow crops, recreate genetic biodiversity and replenish the world
of it's secondary life (if humans are thought of as the primary). She
also tells him that his "father" Hiro was helping her with
transporting these things through time. While she doesn't fully
reveal her plan for a specific list of people she wants to go, she
feels the boy is thoroughly convinced after their tour and will
actually help. And he does want to help until Katana Girl rescues
him.
Meanwhile, back in current times Noah and his granddaughter start
their pilgrimage back to Odessa as was planned long ago. While on the
way, they re-encounter Zachary Levi's character as he wants only to
help after Malina saved his life. Though Noah refuses his help, he
figures it is best to follow (read: stalk) them in a
not-so-conspicuous vehicle. When they all run into a traffic jam on
the highway caused by some great ominous black cloud that is powerful
enough to lift whole cars, Malina jumps out the car and does her
thing. As a side note, am I the only one who still doesn't fully
understand her powers? What the hell does she do? Is she like a more
tuned-in, more powerful Storm from X-men? Don't know.
The black cloud nearly proves too much, even tossing a car Noah's way
before she finally stops it. Noah's life is save, we're assuming by
Tommy as he is instantly transported out of there before the car
smashes him. Malina then has to leave with Zachary Levi because some
non-Evos are rallying their hatred.
Finally, the farm story where Malina's old guardian Farah, her
ex-Bf(?) Carlos and evil lady's daughter have all wound up brings
back another vet of the series, the mind reader. While Carlos is
concerned with escaping with his nephew, Malina is concerned with
escaping with her life and evil lady's daughter is concerned with
screwing up her mother's plans by finding the leader of this
underground Evo resistance group, all the mind reader cares about is
if he's on the list to go to the future. After a little torture and
threats of killing Carlos in front of Malina, the two manage to
escape when he's called away to a doppleganger evil lady. Not much
sense or connection is really made between what is being done on the
farm and the rest of the story, however, all three of the good guys
are united as they try leaving the compounding. And that was when the
producers/writers decided to give us the old Matrix sequels treatment
and put up the "To Be Continued" script over a black
screen. Sorry, people, but with only three episodes left we'll have
to wait until January 9th to for more answers to the questions we all
have.

| Am I on the list? Please tell me I am. |
What do you think? Do you think that Renautas is actually good in a
sense and that Noah and the others will somehow come together with
them to save the world? Do you think Malina's powers can save the
world? And what about Katana Girl? Were you surprised to see her
again? Let me know in the comments below (hint: click the no comments

P.S. Having just finished off a half bag of chips, I am very hungry

dinner. I'll think of something better next time.
