Heroes S2 E9

Review

Just when you thought Mohinder couldn’t get any stupider, he goes and shoots Noah Bennet in the eye. He is really in too deep with this company. And lately, he is making Matt Parkman look like a genius. (Wait, did Parkman just make me say that? Dumb joke, I know.) More on this after the jump because it basically took up the whole episode.

But before I go through all the storylines for this week, let me just say that I was so relieved that those ridiculous mascara-plague twins were absent from this week’s Heroes. And just so I don’t get too excited about it, I put a picture of them in the post to remind me that they are still on the show. (However, they are the vehicle to get the devilish Sylar back in the states so I suppose I forgive them on some level.)

Claire Bennet, Noah Bennet (H.R.G.), and West
We begin in Costa Verde, CA. We spend most of the episode there in fact. The Bennets are getting ready to skip town but as Claire told her father before, she’s not going with them. Citing West as an example, she confronts her father about the bad things he did as a soldier of the company. This conversation could have benefited from a rewrite, I think. When Noah picks up the tape like he’s going to tie Claire up, I thought, that’s a little over the top.

Claire leaves to find West (by spelling out S-O-R-R-Y with rocks). She tells him about the fight and how she’s staying in Costa Verde for him but he doesn’t believe her (teen drama alert!). West leaves because he says he needs time to figure things out. He thinks Claire and her father are working together.

Meanwhile, Noah has some explaining to do to his wife who witnessed the verbal altercation (duct tape and all). He shows his wife the future paintings. She doesn’t really get it–no big surprise there. Then he leaves to go find Claire and West sweeps him into the air. This air assault was a cool Heroes moment I must admit (a great shot right before a commercial).

West interrogates Noah in the air to find out about Claire’s involvement with him. I liked how they ended up working together to save Claire. I like West’s character. I know lots of people hate him but I don’t see why. He’s not that annoying (not like those twins).

Mohinder Suresh, Bob & Elle
Mohinder, Bob and Elle go to Southern California for two reasons: to get Claire’s blood and to kill Noah Bennet. Bob tries to convince Mohinder that Noah is a threat and should be “taken out” but Mohinder is skeptical about killing him (always wanting to do the right thing and the least harm). He does agree that Claire’s blood is needed to cure Niki though.

Elle always wants to kill Noah (two reasons again: it’s the logical thing to do from her and her father’s perspective and she’s slightly unhinged so she takes pleasure in killing people). But Mohinder persuades them both to follow his plan. After Noah calls looking for Molly’s help to find West, Mohinder calls back with a fake location. Of course, Noah is with West at the time so he’s knows it’s a bluff.

While Mohinder and Elle go to meet Noah (and West), Bob goes to abduct Claire. Did he really fudge her name when he spoke to her on the football field? I couldn’t tell if that was an honest mistake only because Bob doesn’t look like the kind of guy that makes mistakes. Either way, Bob follows Claire home and kidnaps her at gunpoint.

Mohinder thinks that he’s got Noah under control (and if he doesn’t Elle will zap him). But, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a flying teenager come to clothesline the electricity girl. By the way, West is getting good at swooping people off the ground.

Noah vs. Bob, The Showdown

Now Bob has Claire and Noah has Elle. Was it just me or did you kind of enjoy Elle getting a taste of the pain she so easily inflicts on everyone else? What an easy way to contain her too. Why didn’t they just keep her clothes and hair wet for the exchange? A dry Elle is a super-charged, super-pissed off Elle.

The exchange is going pretty smoothly when Elle zaps West (who is holding Claire) out of the air. Noah then shoots Elle in the arm. I thought he was a better shot than that. Noah is about to shoot Bob but Mohinder shoots him in the eyeball. Right in the eyeball. And when did the genetics doctor learn how to aim a gun?

I actually thought they were going to kill someone off for real this time. But no, Noah is back by virtue of Claire’s blood with a new eyeball. I wonder if he will still need glasses?

Parkman & Molly
Matt Parkman is becoming his father. I was wondering if they were going to draw out this transition for another episode but I guess not. Parkman first uses his powers to persuade Molly to be a normal girl after she offers to help him find the rest of the people in the picture. The look on his face shows that he’s a little surprised with and even scared of his new, improved ability.

Then he uses his power on his boss and sees that it can be very advantageous to control other people’s thoughts. What would Professor Xavier think? A little unethical if you ask me. Ethics aside, he gets more time to investigate Kaito Nakamura’s death and interview Angela Petrelli.

Parkman then has a battle of the mind powers with Angela who accuses him of turning into his father and scolds him for meddling in the business of her generation. After suffering a Parkman headache and a bloody nose, she gives up the last name in the picture.

I wonder if Parkman will turn into a villain with his evolved power. I think it’s cliche to have him turn into his dad. However, the “new nightmare man” could make for an interesting situation with Molly. But, from what we know of Parkman’s character (meek, righteous, caring, not so sharp), I don’t think it makes sense for him to exploit his power the way his father did.

Hiro
It was nice to see Hiro get some closure and a new mission this episode. We first see him at his father’s funeral but he refuses to give the eulogy and tells Ando he is going back in time to save his father. However, when he gets there, Kaito Nakamura, a man who believes in fate, turns down the opportunity to save his own life.

In an effort to convince his father to live, Hiro takes him back to the funeral of his wife/Hiro’s mother. I thought maybe Kaito would concede and allow his son to alter time to rescue him at this point. But, alas, no, he is really dead (maybe they will bring him back…like D.L. and then kill him again…like D.L.).

Hiro talks to his younger self and in effect teaches himself his father’s lesson. Finally, his father’s words make sense to Hiro: “We have the power of the gods. That doesn’t mean we can play God.” While Hiro doesn’t “play God” and save his father, he does use his power to uncover who murdered him: Kensei. I like that Hiro’s vendetta against Kensei will create trouble in his relationship with Peter Petrelli. They have worked on the same side before but how will Adam/Kensei affect things?

 

2 Hours of Prison Break eh? I didn’t complain. I really like Prison Break, but it just doesnt have the intensity of the 1st season, and I don’t know if they will ever be able to make a season better than the first. Good two hours of TV nonetheless. Check it out!

Prison Break S2 E6 

Prison Break S2 E7

Review Care of TvSquad 

A two-hour Prison Break? Now what did I do to deserve this? Well, it was really just two back-to-back episodes of Prison Break instead of a two-hour special. But still, the only thing better than one Prison Break episode is two Prison Break episodes.

And they were pretty good episodes to boot. While we didn’t get to see the much-hyped escape from Sona, we did get some interesting new developments in the plot.

For those of you who thought that Michael’s idea to escape from Sona in broad daylight was foolish, you were right. In fact, it was the daylight itself (or lack thereof) that foiled Michael’s plans. Just as Michael and Whistler were climbing down the rope ladder and out to freedom, the glare was blocked by clouds and they had to scurry right back up. This was bad because they didn’t get out of Sona. This was good because now Lechero can join them.

I have to admit, I was a little disappointed that they didn’t get further in the escape. While I am happy to see that Michael is back in prison this season, I don’t want him to stay there the whole time. I am excited to see what would happen when the brothers reunite (especially now that Michael’s beloved Sara is gone). Will they stick together or go their separate ways?

But enough about what didn’t happen tonight. Let’s get to the major plot developments. Lincoln finally told Michael that Sara is dead. I can see that Michael would be upset with Lincoln for not telling him sooner but I’m on Lincoln’s side. It’s his son, not some random prison doctor who just happened to be both attractive and kind enough to help with an escape. Lincoln had to keep this from Michael if he thought that the information would affect the escape.

Mahone is out of Sona. One of his colleagues from the past season showed up surprisingly with a deal. If he tells all and helps shed some light on the ex-president, then he gets to do his time in an American prison (preferably one that carries his brand of highly-addictive painkillers). I wonder if his old friend from the bureau is going to double-cross him. Perhaps the other guy she brought with her will do the double-crossing. The latter seems possible. Maybe they will reinstate him in some way and have him track down the brothers or Whistler (when the sun finally aligns in the right way for Michael to break out, of course).

The biggest plot development, one could even say “twist,” came at the very end. Susan B. Anthony’s real name is Gretchen (cause Susan B. Anthony is just ridiculous). But that’s not the plot twist, obviously. At the end, she had this cryptic conversation with James Whistler. He told her to give him four more days to get out. He also said that he could do what he needed to do despite the lost time. I wonder what he will do or how exactly he is aligned with her. Does Whistler work for the company? Perhaps neither Gretchen nor Whistler work for the company at all. Maybe they are trying to subvert the company. I’d be interested to read your comments on this.

I must point out one last thing. What is going on with the supporting characters on Prison Break? Seasons one and two spent so much time building up Belleck and T-Bag as viable enemies for the brothers. Belleck has been reduced from a prison-guard-turned-bounty-hunter to a worthless blob. He might have killed the French guy (although I don’t think so) but other than that his only contribution to this episode was blubbering about Sara’s death. Like he really cares? T-Bag has carved out a spot in Lechero’s gang and hasn’t done much since. Maybe he and Sammy will fight for the head position in Sona now that Lechero’s power has been displaced?

I truly think this one one of the best episodes of Heroes this season. You learn a lot in this one, and it had a lot of “Oh My God!!” moments. If you haven’t seen it yet, check out the link below. If you’re too lazy to watch it, just read the recap. I have a feeling a lot of people may had missed Heroes this week because of its 7PM special time. Hey, who’s complaining? there was 2 hours of Prison Break…

Heroes S2 E7

Recap **SPOILERS** Care of NBC

Kensei has Hiro’s face forced into a haze of opium smoke. White Beard offered Kensei anything he wanted to capture Hiro and lead his army. Kensei will soon rule half of Japan and Yaeko will be his bride. In the Ukraine, Noah snaps photos of Isaac Mendez’s paintings and sends them to Suresh before lighting them all on fire. Suresh hangs up the phone with Bennet as alarms blare. Nathan and Matt arrive with details on their encounter with Matt’s father, which causes the facility to begin evacuation procedures.

Peter and Caitlin wander the streets of New York City, but there isn’t a soul in sight: they’ve all been evacuated by Homeland Security. An armored car speeds toward them and men in hazmat suits grab them, asking if they’re sick or infected. Claire wakes up to find West in her kitchen preparing waffles for breakfast. When Mrs. “Butler” leaves the room, Claire scolds West for stopping in. He shows her a newspaper article about the drunk cheerleader claiming she saw a flying boy, and Claire tells West they have to be more careful. Bob yells at Suresh to bait Maury to them so he can inject the Nightmare Man with the virus. Suresh worries that this might put the entire population at risk. Bob tells Matt he has the same abilities as Maury: anything one’s brain controls, Matt can control as well.

Yaeko gets herself free and takes the opium away from Hiro. As the guards return, Hiro teleports himself, Yaeko, and Yaeko’s father to safety. In future New York, Peter and Caitlin are hosed down by men in hazmat suits. Later, under questioning, Peter is asked how a dead man can be found wandering around New York uninfected – on March 20, 2007 the first case of the Shanti virus was reported. To date, it’s killed 93% of the world’s population while the rest live in quarantine. Matt apologizes to an unconscious Molly, adding that he doesn’t have his father’s abilities like Bob said. When Matt says, “I love you, Molly,” there’s a blip on her monitor. When he thinks that thought to himself, there are several more.

In the hall, Suresh frets to Niki that it’s morally unacceptable to give Maury the virus. Niki says no one will die, that the Company is good - they saved her. When Suresh leaves, she turns around to come face to face with D.L., who tells her she is a killer and by the end of the day, she will kill everyone. When she leaves the hall, Maury Parkman emerges from a door. Nathan asks Bob about “Adam Monroe,” one of the founding Company fathers. Adam convinced them they all belonged together to make the world a better place. Bob says that the “visionary” Adam is the one trying to kill them and he’s using Maury as his “blunt weapon.” Years before, Adam talked about holocausts, plagues, punishing humanity to save the world - Linderman was Adam’s disciple. They locked Adam up and threw away the key, but he escaped two weeks before. Bob tells Nathan that Peter is alive and somehow involved with Adam Monroe.

Peter is reunited with his mother, but he doesn’t recognize her. She tells him of his abilities and that Nathan died in the first outbreak. She also says he can travel in time and change history to prevent all this from happening. Peter starts to flash through his life and he suddenly remembers everything. Peter leaves the facility with his mom as Caitlin is taken away, but without warning, Peter finds himself in another room, completely alone. Claire and West canoodle on the couch, but she can’t stop looking at his tracking marks. They get up to go to the kitchen. When West turns around, he sees Mr. Bennet arrive home. He grabs Claire and flees the house, and she tells him that it was her father who abducted him. Scared and confused, West flies away before Bennet notices him. Suresh catches Niki talking to D.L., who isn’t really there - an unseen Maury is manipulating her mind. Suresh tries to help, but she punches him in the face.

Meanwhile, Hiro begins his solo attack on White Beard’s camp. He materializes in White Beard’s armory where he plans on destroying the guns, only to find Kensei waiting for him. Though Hiro still has faith in him, sword clashes against sword as they fight it out in mortal combat. In the fight, a fire is set and Hiro teleports away just before the tent explodes. Bob shows Nathan a video of Peter taken at the Company facility. As they talk, Niki punches the door open as Matt goes to find his father, only to walk into a dream world where Maury keeps Molly imprisoned. Matt calls for his father, and Maury appears - Matt somehow brought him here. In the other room, Niki can’t fight off Maury’s parasitic attachment to her mind, and she stabs herself with the virus. Matt summons all his strength, grabs Molly, and walks out of the nightmare, leaving Maury trapped behind. Matt comes to in Molly’s room where she wakes up to find Maury collapsed on the ground.

Hiro finds Kensei’s mask in the smoldering ruins from the fire and returns to Yaeko’s side to tell her that White Beard’s army has scattered. She convinces him that he is the real Kensei of history, and her true husband. He cautions that in the final trial of Kensei, he has to cut out his own heart to save her life and all of Japan. Hiro realizes he must return to his own time, and with a final kiss, he is gone. Suresh gives Niki an infusion of his own blood to eradicate the virus in her system. But when it doesn’t work, Suresh realizes that there’s a new strain of the virus immune from his blood’s antibodies.

Meanwhile, Ando sees Kensei’s mask on his desk. He turns around to see Hiro smiling at him. Their happy reunion, however, is dampened when Ando tells Hiro of his father’s murder. Suresh tells Bob that the new strain has no cure. Bob says they’ll keep Maury sedated and destroy every last vial. Bob shows Suresh Claire’s file and says that Claire may be the only way to save Niki. He also tells Suresh that Bennet killed Company operative Ivan. Suresh confesses that he has been working with Bennet to take down the Company. Bob says there’s a storm coming and that Claire’s ability could cure the virus. Bennet comes home and slaps the newspaper story about the drunk cheerleader in front of Claire, yelling at her for risking exposure. Claire screams back, but it’s no use. “It’s not safe here, anymore,” Bennet says. “Pack your bags… we’re leaving.” Meanwhile, a strange man approaches Peter in the room. It’s Adam… formerly known as Takezo Kensei.

Dexter S2 E6
===============================
A couple of commenters last week mentioned they thought Harry could possibly be Dexter’s biological father. Someone else mentioned that Dexter actually had a blood test done to prove who his father was, and I seem to remember that myself as well, though for some reason I can’t remember the details.

In any case, Dexter continues to question how honest Harry had been with him when he was alive. In fact, he’s getting pretty angry at him. It seems to me that, along with Lila’s influence (whether positive or negative), Dexter not trusting what Harry taught him is just going to cause Dex to become even more sloppy.
What’s been great is how, although Lundy seems to know something and to be inching ever-so closer to who the real Butcher is, Dexter stays incredibly cool and without a bead of sweat showing in the Floridian heat.

As if Lundy getting closer to Dexter wasn’t enough, Doakes is back on his case. It seemed Doakes was quickly and easily taken off Dexter’s tail, and maybe even had a bit of respect for him for being so distraught over the job that he was a junkie. If Doakes continues to get into Dexter’s business, how could Dex resist taking him out?

The dinner with Lila, Rita and Gayle was a strange situation, and God do I hate Gayle. Does anyone buy it for one moment that Lila’s a recovering Meth addict? She’s got something a lot more dark about her, that’s for sure.

And about Rita, it looks like maybe this is the end for her and Dexter, though all of this really is Gayle’s fault. If it wasn’t for her meddling and lack of support, Dexter may not have cheated on Rita after all. Hey, I’m not excusing the cheating, I’m just saying Gayle certainly didn’t help matters.

Side note: Anyone notice that the Butcher suspect was Haywire from Prison Break? Hey, it was season one when it was decent, what can I say.

I did forget to mention Doakes and LaGuerta last week, though I did of course notice it. In this episode it’s brought up again, and it’s sorta strange to picture the two of them together one before, then working completely professionally together later.

Still there’s more hinting at a relationship coming between Deb and Lundy. I knew I wasn’t crazy when I thought there might be something there a few episodes ago, though an overwhelming number of people voted against that theory in my poll.

Until next week, when I’m sure the heat will continue to mount onto Dexter from Doakes and likely Lundy.

Peter packs his things to head to Montreal where he believes the clues are leading. Caitlin insists on coming, too. In California, Claire tries out for cheerleading squad, but Debbie rejects her, adding, “You are not extraordinary.” Suresh works with Monica on her muscle-memory ability. Bob interrupts and orders Suresh to give Monica a form of the Shanti virus manipulated to end her ability without harming her. Suresh warns that such tinkering could mutate the virus and make it jump into the general population. When Claire worries about not getting on the cheerleading squad, West advises Claire to bring Debbie down a notch. Meanwhile, near the U.S. border, Sylar questions Maya about her ability and says he also once had power. Alejandro doesn’t trust their mysterious and seductive new traveling companion.

In the Ukraine, Noah and the Haitian arrive at the home of his former mentor Ivan where they tie him up and grill him about the missing Isaac paintings. Ivan, who trained Noah and Claude, denies knowing where they are located. Noah threatens to have the Haitian erase all of his most-treasured memories. After erasing many of Ivan’s memories, Ivan offers a deal: rejoin the Company and he’ll be safe. Suresh is about to give Monica a shot of the manipulated virus when he realizes he can’t do it. He tells Bob he’s leaving and smashes a cabinet filled with the serum. Meanwhile, Maya and her fellow travelers sneak across the border where they are threatened by the “Citizens Border Patrol.” Maya intentionally loses control and kills the patrol members. Alejandro warns Maya against Sylar and tells her the next time her eyes blacken, he’s leaving. Sylar flat-out says he plans on killing them both.

Claire pulls Debbie out of the cheerleaders’ drinking session to ask for another chance at making the squad. As they talk, a masked West flies in, grabs Claire, and drops her onto the stairs with a sickening thud. As Debbie looks on in horror, West swoops in for the final thrill. Later, the police don’t believe Debbie’s story, especially when Claire walks in like nothing happened. And because Debbie was caught drinking on school grounds, she’s kicked out of cheerleading and Claire gets to replace her. Bob apologizes to Suresh for asking him to inject Monica with an untried drug, claiming that he over-stepped his bounds because his mind has been on someone who is a true danger to them. To prevent “further misunderstandings,” Bob offers Suresh someone to be at his disposal.

Hiro, Kensei, and Yaeko creep into White Beard’s camp under the cover of darkness. Kensei battles his way through until the three of them find Yaeko’s father chained in a tent. Her father refuses to leave until he destroys the 1000s of illegal guns that White Beard has built based on his own instructions, for White Beard plots on taking over all of Japan. Kensei and his small army attack the camp. When a bullet is fired at Yaeko, Hiro stops time and brings her from the camp, and she realize that he was the one under the cherry blossoms and not Kensei. When she asks if he loves her, he says, “yes.” She leans in to kiss him, and regardless of the temporal fallout, he kisses her back as Kensei watches from the distance. When Noah threatens to erase Ivan’s memories of his dead daughter, Ivan caves and gives up the location of Isaac’s paintings. Noah then ransacks the apartment to make it look like a robbery before killing his former mentor. Kensei confronts Hiro about kissing Yaeko. Hiro says they are in love and that he didn’t mean for it to happen.

Hiro swears he won’t give into his love and that the kiss will be his last. But with Hiro’s back turned, Kensei punches him as henchman bring Yaeko out in chains. Bob escorts Monica home where he gives her a new cell phone, a packet of information, and the news that she’s enrolled in the Burger Bonanza management program. In New York, Suresh meets his new partner… Niki. Across the world, the Haitian and Noah uncover Issac’s paintings, none of which bode well for the future. Peter and Caitlin arrive in Montreal. In some kind of storage facility, Peter finds a note with his name on it: “You were right about the company. The world is in danger. It’s up to us. Adam.” Peter closes his eyes and hugs Caitlin. When he opens them, they are standing in a completely deserted Times Square…one year from now!

Dexter Season 1

 

I must say, this episode filled in a lot of gaps into Dexters past. It seems Harry, Dexters mentor and foster-father knew more about young Dexter and his mom than he led on. She was not only an informant for Harry, but also his lover. Now we know why Dexter was taken in, because he was directly responsible for her death. She wanted out, and Harry told her to carry on snitching. Dex also finds out that one of his mothers killers is still alive, and working at a bar. Now this is what is driving me crazy! He’s is too damn emotional! If you’ve read the book, you know he just doesn’t care! Now all of a sudden he’s crying and shaking and worst of all, not killing people!

There’s a really interesting scene in a comic shop where a murder takes place, where someone was actually writing a comic based off “The Bay Harbour Butcher”. The name is a lot more catchy however; “The Dark Defender” (seen above). Dex also notices a lot of people are giving “The Butcher” credit for killing. In one scene he overhears one guy telling his buddy that “This guys deserves a medal”. Others however, like Dexter’s dearest sis Deb, who “want to put a bullet through his head”.

I’m really enjoying how the tv show is twisting away from the book, but it saddens me to see what the writer is doing to Dexter’s personality. He’s making him emotional…he’s making him Human. I haven’t heard anything lately on his “Dark Passenger” with his “evil chuckles”.

 Overall this was an excellent episode, and is definately worth watching.

It seems that the anticipated movie, American Gangster has been leaked onto the net one week even BEFORE the theater release. Denzel plays the role of Frank Lucas, heroin druglord from Manhatten. This movie is actually based on a true story. Love these Druglord movies based on true stories. Blow is one of my faves, we’ll see if this one can top it. American Gangster hits theaters November 2, but if you can wait until then, tracking down the leaked copy shouldn’t be too hard. Maybe clicking on an American Gangster Image might help speed up the search.

 

A new character was introduced last night. Her name is Elle and she’s played by Kristen Bell. Elle seems to have “Elle”-ectric talents (Yeah that was corny). Her abilities, and family history has given her some work within “the Company”. She just arrived in Ireland and is on the hunt for Peter. Meanwhile, Parkman, alongside Nathan Patrelli, take a trip to Philidelphia to seek out Parkman’s father, who has abilities similar to Matt’s, but much more advanced. Over in Japan somewhere, Ando is still trying to decrypt Hiro’s messages from the past. There really isn’t too much progress with Hiro, except he finds out he must battle and army along with his white ninja friend. Monica realizes that she can mimic people to the max, and do the exact same thing. Yep, another absorber ability. Add her to the list along with Peter and Sylar. We find out that Nikki is willingly being detained from within “the Company”. Suresh’s concern for Molly increases,as she is still trapped in her Dream. and he takes her to “the Company”  for observation.

A lot ofpeople aren’t too happy that the series is twisting away from the book series, but honestly, I  like it. It adds new Dexter content without having to wait for another book.

Anyways, last nights episide was descent. Dexter is beginning to buckle under the pressure of new evidence discovered to get one step closer to “The Bay Harbour Butcher”. At the same time, Rita’s concern for Dexter’s new Sponser grows. Does she have anything to worry about? I’d say so. Sgt. Doakes isn’t so much suspicious of Dexter anymore now that he thinks he’s found his problem (heroin). No longer on Dexter’s back, Doakes get caught up in his past, and must make a critical decision. And just when you thought Laguerta had turned from her two-faced history, think again…she’s still a SERIOUS bitch! The only thing I’m not really feeling is the fact that Dexter is showing too much emotion (internally). Anyways, be sure to check out this weeks episode if you missed it.

Want some Cake? I got the Orange Box the other day. The first thing I popped in was of course Portal. This is by far one of the most innovative games I’ve ever played. I just wish it was longer. You’re basically a lab experiment where you must test this Portal Gun while a somewhat neurotic computerized voice guides you through the puzzles. The physics and game dynamics are simply amazing! I thought Prey had portals down but was I ever wrong! This is it. I sure hope more games use this type of technology (Hmm maybe next Half-Life?).

There are very few threats in the game. The only hazards are Water, a few turrents, and the final boss battle which I won’t spoil. It would be very cool to see a game where you could open a portal behind your enemy and start filling them with lead from behind. Only time shall tell.

There is not much character interaction, however there is your “companion box” (who sadly must be incinerated) and the lovely monotone voice of the computer. I will say right now, the computer is one of the best characters ever developed in a short amount of time. At first she’s straight to the point, but over time she begins making jokes and cutting wise cracks at you from angles. I don’t want to spoil any of the lines so you’ll have to hear it for yourself.

As previously stated,  the game is rather short. I beat it in about 2 hours. I never did the advanced maps yet however, which are renditions of the main levels, but with slight variances (can only open X amount of portals, water on ground, etc).

Overall I think Portal was a very successful title and I hope to see more Portal to come. The game is excellent in many ways, and is DEFINATELY worth playing. I wouldn’t recommend buying the Orange Box just for Portal however, due to the short gameplay and low replay value. If You dont want to Buy the Orange Box just for Portal, There may be other places you can find it

If not let me know and I’ll do my best to replace them.
