October 9, 2006

Returning to Japan after experiencing a vision of New York’s destruction, Hiro sets out to prove to Ando once and for all that his powers are real, again using Mendez’ comic book as a guide. In L.A., Parkman has to prove his ability to read thoughts to an FBI agent working the Sylar case, or he could find himself facing murder charges. When he does convince her that his ability is real, he finds himself up against the mysterious Sylar sooner than he expected. Suresh discovers more hidden notes left by his father in New York, including the address of Sylar’s apartment, where he discovers that Sylar has not only duplicated his father’s research, but has been tracking several people believed to have unnatural abilities, including Nathan Petrelli. Claire’s attempt to try to get back to the life of a normal teenager don’t put her at any less risk…in fact, it may reveal her secret to everyone she’s tried so hard to keep it from.

Season 1 Westworld

Chestnut

October 9, 2016

New players arrive at Westworld, ready to try their hand at lawless frontier life. William, coaxed into visiting Westworld by his wife’s brother, is reluctant to indulge in the seedier side of the park’s offerings, whereas most of the park’s typical storylines and diversions are simply too tame for his brother-in-law, who urges him to go “black hat”. A chance exchange between Dolores and Maeve fills Maeve’s head with strange thoughts, and like Dolores, she begins remembering past scenarios that have supposedly been wiped from her memory. Westworld’s board of directors grows restless about return business, and an ambitious young scenarist devises and proposes a new plotline for the park, which Ford promptly shoots down on the ground that obvious, tawdry thrills are not what Westworld is about. As she is being cleaned and prepared for another day’s duty in the park, Maeve awakens in a strange new world – one in which she sees fellow hosts being treated like objects.

Gifted, The Season 1

October 9, 2017

Stranded when Clarice is unable to keep the escape portal open, Reed Strucker is now in the hands of Sentinel Services. He demands to see an attorney, but it is clear that, simply by associating with mutants, he has been labeled a threat and relieved of any and all civil rights. If Sentinel Services can’t find Strucker’s children, they’re not above reeling in other family members who have no idea what’s going on.

Left physically exhausted by holding the portal open for so long, Clarice is unable to control random outbursts of her ability. Portals open at random to the street outside, where police are preparing to mount an assault on the mutants’ headquarters; Lauren Strucker has to use her ability to close off Clarice’s unintentional portals. When Lauren is exhausted, Andy directs his rage-fueled ability at the police outside, but this makes things worse: as with his school before, the building in which the mutants are taking shelter is no longer safe or stable. Clarice is injured and her unconscious random portal opening becomes a dangerous rapid-fire exercise in not accidentally falling through to an unknown location. Caitlin Strucker, a nurse before going on the run with her children, enlists Marco’s help to retrieve a drug that can stabilize Clarice, but their plan only draws more attention to what is seen as a growing mutant threat.
