I fear for the future of humanity.

The first trailer for the third installment in the Twilight Saga, Eclipse. If you’re not a part of the mass of screaming teenage girls waiting for this movie, you probably would be, if Twilight ended like this.

To date, Twilight’s theatrical release has grossed nearly $200 million in the United States, and just over $370,000 worldwide. That, plus all the book sales, merchandise sales, and DVD sales means this movie was a success, even if it did have mixed ratings. The movie was such a success that the 2nd movie is currently being worked on, and the 3rd movie already has a release date. The 2nd movie, New Moon, is scheduled to hit theaters on November 20th, 2009. The 3rd movie, Eclipse, is planned and scheduled for a June 30th, 2010 release.

There are 4 books in the Twilight series, so if the 2nd and 3rd movies do well, it’s only a matter of time before the 4th is made. Even though a lot of people bad mouth this movie, and the sequels to be made, they have to remember that the movies are based off books. Books with lots and lots of dedicated fans. It’s almost like Harry Potter…People who say Harry Potter is lame, probably have never read the books, so they can’t really know.

For the record, I’ve never read the Twilight books.

If you haven’t watched this episode yet, or are not to this point in the series, I suggest you DO NOT read the rest of this post, as it may contain spoilers.

So, in the first part of the Eclipse, all our Heroes and Villains lost their powers. In the second part of the Eclipse, all our Heroes and Villains regained their powers. Yes, it is as simple as that. A few pretty big things happened while the powers were gone though.

Claire was shot, and without her healing powers, she became infected, and she actually died for a little while. Noah Bennet shot Elle in the leg as he aimed for Sylar. Sylar helped Elle get away, only to get a beating by Noah, and get his throat slit with a box cutter. When the eclipse passed, Claire came back to life, as did Sylar. Sylar and Elle went to get revenge at the Bennet house, but Hiro shows up, teleports them to a beach, them takes Claire into the past to see when she was a baby, being given to Noah.

Other than that, Nathan ditched Peter in Haiti, and it looks like he’ll be joining the “dark side”. Hiro is still trying to regain his memory, and it looks like the eclipse passing didn’t give regain Peter his powers.

I have a theory that Peter’s main power has returned, but all the powers he has gained over the first 2 seasons are gone. His main power is that he can absorb the powers of those around him. So hopefully he’ll start regaining his powers, and it looks like he’ll need to do it fast as Sylar looks like a bad guy again, and Arthur Petrelli is still a threat.

Oh, and as the episode ended, Sylar held down Elle on the beach, and started to cut her forehead open. This angers me as Elle was the hottest thing on the show. Sylar already has her power, so why he did this, I do not know…

Heroes airs on Mondays, at 9PM EST, on NBC.

This episode aired on Monday, November 24th, 2008. If you haven’t seen this episode yet, or if you’re not this far into the series, I suggest you do not read the rest of this post, as it may contain spoilers.

So the eclipse came, and I want it to get the hell out! In season 1, when the eclipse occurred, our heroes and villains discovered their powers for the first time. When the eclipse came on Monday, in season 3, everybody’s powers went away. Suresh is no longer a mutant freak, Elle can longer shoot electricity, Claire can no longer heal, Hiro can no longer control the time-space continuum, Matt can no longer read thoughts and control minds, Daphne is no longer a speedster, she is crippled, Nathan fell out of the sky, and Sylar and Arthur are no longer godly. There is no change for Peter, as his father, Arthur, had already taken his powers, and Hiro still has memory loss, and believes he is 10 years old.

Since this is a two part episode, I’m hoping this Monday, the eclipse will pass, and the powers will return. Hopefully Peter will get his power back as well. The preview for the next episode shows Claire on the verge of death after a bullet wound, and it also shows Noah Bennet looking at Sylar and Elle kissing through a sniper rifle. Since Sylar has no powers, including his healing power he took from Claire, if he is shot, it’s over, he’s dead, same for Elle. Please, please don’t kill Sylar or Elle, they are falling in love, and a great duo.

Heroes airs at 9PM EST, Monday nights, on NBC.
