    The exciting Heroes continues with chapter nineteen. As you have realized by now the next couple of episodes lead directly to the volume finale. Nathan talks with Linderman and realizes that Linderman is not as humanitarian as he himself thinks and leaves (Linderman argues that if the bomb explodes only .07% of the world would die which is a small proportion compared to the whole population).
    Matt manages to escape using Mr Bennet's guidance and both of them along with Ted make a plan to find the tracking system and destroy it.
    Peter faces Sylar and when Sylar pins him on the wall Peter survives using his regenerative abilities. The fight ends with Sylar sticking a piece of glass at the back of Peter's head (notice the point as it will be explained in volume 2 that is the only weakness of people possessing regenerative abilities) and Mohinder knocking Sylar down. At the end Mohinder takes a presumed dead Peter back at his house while Sylar finds the address of Isaac.
    Meanwhile, Angela tells Claire what really happened and how she ended up with the Bennets. When Mohinder arrives with a dead Peter, Angela sends Mohinder away. Nathan arrives from Las Vegas and witnesses Peter. Finally Claire sees that what happened to Peter is similar to what happened to her in chapter four: collision, removes the piece of glass from the back of his head and Peter comes back to life. Claire talks to Nathan and realizes that Nathan doesn't want her in his life at least not until the end of the elections (Nathan seems honestly to love Claire and care for her).
    Jessica meets with Linderman who asks her to bring Micah in as he wants a favour from him. Jessica refuses and Linderman manages to get Micah without her permission (using Candice).
    Finally, Sylar visits Isaac and after a very thrilling dialogue between them Sylar kills him and acquires his ability and Isaac realizes this was his destiny all along. To point the way not to be part of the plan.
    Hiro's scene in a futuristic New York is shown again with some additions like Hiro's determination to find what went wrong and the bomb exploded. When he visits Isaac's loft he finds a time line and a person he never thought he would see. Enjoy!moreless

    So.. it is revealed that it is more and more about Lindermann than first thought and he is really behind it all and knows it all.. and that girl who can take all those forms - she is starting really to annoy me.

    Ok, Claire's dad is out of that holding and those three are now on their own mission and it does not look bad team only.. they are going to NYC with exploding man.. not good.

    And the whole Petrelli family meeting was not bad too. I was little shocked first that Peter is dead.. but I think Isaac is gone for good.. We all knew it will happen but..moreless

    With his mind reading abilities, Matt helps himself, Mr. Bennett, and Ted out of the company's prison. Together the three make an unexected alliance. Nathan confronts Linderman, and after a knowledgable chat he decides not to kill him.. yet. Peter starts his fight with Sylar, but after Sylar sends loads of glass shards flying at him he gets rendered unconsiouss, and so does Sylar. Mohinder manages to take Peter to the Petrelli mansion, but Sylar gets Issac's contact information. At the mansion Claire meets Angela, who is her grandmother and also has healing abilities. Then Mohinder arrives, and Nathan and Angela mourn his death. Claire however, pulls a large glass shard out of his head and saves his life. Sylar finds Issac, and finishes him. Forever. Jessica (Candice) turns Micah over to Linderman, and smoothly escapes as the real Jessica turns up. This entire episode ran smoothly, and the death of Issac was truly tragic.moreless

    Another great episode to the amazing and compelling season of the perfect show Heroes, I loved this episode as we get closer to the season finale things are starting to liven up again just like at the begining of the season until "Homecomming" I have thoght the show has been too calm and hasn't been as good as the early episodes, .07% was great however and the highlights of the episode was Sylar and Peter's long awaited second round this time it as a more evenly match with Peter finnaly using some of his powers to fight, also Mohinder jumped in and kicked some ass. I also really like the Matt, Ted and Bennet storyline where they escape the company thought it was a great couple of scenes the three of them are very entertianing to watch. I felt sorry for poor old Issa meeting his end, well it was good to have a character like that I think we all knew it was going to happen after he drew pictures of his death and Hiro saw him dead in the future back in the day. I never got the final seen with Hiro and Ando however but we will just see next week what going to happen there.
    All in alll this was a great episode that had me hooked from start to finnish. R.I.P Issac Mendez you will be missed.moreless

    • The painting behind Linderman, while talking to Nathan, is Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp by the Dutch Golden Age painter Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn. In the 'real' world, this painting is housed in the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, the Netherlands. Edit
    • Goof At the beginning, Isaac is painting without his eyes turned white. Edit
    • When Peter and Sylar are in the apartment and Peter turns invisible, Mohinder is lying on the ground. Sylar raises shards of glass and looks around the room for a significant amount of time that Peter would be able to see what he was doing. Mohinder did not end up with any glass in him, so why didn't Peter lie down on the ground too? Or get some other protection. He can fly too, so why not hide against the ceiling? As stated, Sylar has super-hearing powers. Even if Peter didn't know that, he probably didn't want to make too much noise... it would be easy for Sylar to find him then ;) Edit

    • (Claire is losing her patience with Angela Petrelli) Claire: (to Angela) I haven't seen Peter or met my father yet. Angela: Neither of them is in a position to be anything to you right now. Be sensible. Claire: By shipping me off to Paris? Angela: For now, yes. I'll be taking you there myself. You'll have a chance to grow up and develop into someone who can make her own choices, and then if you choose to come back and join this madness like I once did...at least I will have given you the option. Claire: So you're like me? (awkward pause) Angela: I regret a lot of the choices I've made in my life. You're getting the benefit of my experience. Claire: (snappily) Whether I want it or not. (Angela smirks) Angela: You get that mouth from me. Edit
