Bio-Nik Episode 14 Review: 2 Years Later...

Musim 2 telah pun bermula Isnin lepas and what an episode it was. Musim yang baru ini mendapat sentuhan pengarah yang baru dan environment yang berbeza di mana Nik dan geng telah masuk ke alam pekerjaan. Episod kali ini menceritakan pada kita apa yang telah berlaku sejak 2 tahun yang telah berlalu dari episod yang lepas. Let's review...

"Siapa aku? Manusia atau Robot?"

Episod bermula dengan pengenalan Nik yang kini telah menjadi Hero Misteri menyelamatkan mereka yang dalam kesusahan. Namun, dia terasa tanggungjawab yang dipikulnya terlalu berat dan dia kini sudah bertukar menjadi lebih moody and angry. Here we are treated to some cool special effects of Nik jumping from a tall building and some newspaper clippings of Nik's heroic endeavours. Malam itu, Nik dan geng were actually meeting up to celebrate Adi yang akan berangkat ke luar negara untuk menyambungkan pelajarannya. Pada mulanya, Adi membicarakan how Nik dan Hero Misteri seperti orang yang sama yang mempunyai "alter ego" seperti Clark Kent. How ever he got that idea? Banyak je orang yang kita boleh samakan. Perhubungan Nik dan Aina pula is in a rocky state. Sejak Nik menjadi Hero Misteri, he hasn't been spending enough time with Aina. Always forgetting important events in their relationship.

"Diam tak diam kau dah nak meninggalkan dunia, eh, meninggalkan kami."

Dalam pada rancak berbual, Nik terdengar a couple in trouble yang diganggu samseng jalanan. The effect was cool but I tought sound travels in a straight line? My friend even said it looked like macam bau pulak. No matter what, I thought it was cool. Nik terpaksa fake a stomach ache to excuse himself and save the couple. Datang Nik, teruk dibelasahnya samseng-samseng tersebut. He tied them up and strangely ask the couple to shoot himself with the baddies. Hmm...weird, but maybe there's something to this yang kita belum tahu.

"Ini bukan Hero Misteri... Ini Power Rangers."

Meanwhile, the others continue to enjoy the night. Kamal memberitahu yang dia telah menerima tawaran untuk bekerja bersama Prof Hafiz di makmalnya as a lab assistant. Aina telah menerima pekerjaan bersama syarikat milik ayah Johan which brought out their conversation about Johan. Rupa-rupanya Johan telah mengalami kemalangan between the 2 years and lost half his memories. I guess that's why he is no longer associated with Prof Mazni? When Nik returns, everyone has left.

"Dah tu jalan yang dia pilih, kita doakan dia selamat je."

Di rumah Nik, dalam makmal, Prof Hafiz tells his wife that he is building a suit for Nik to make him stronger and more protected when he's saving the world. He also expresses that Nik sudah semakin obsessed dengan kerja menyelamatkan orang. Dia minta Aishah untuk berbicara dengan Nik tentang obsesinya. Sementara itu, di rumah Burn, dia telah dikejutkan dengan bunyi someone entering his house. He didn't manage to catch the "thief" tetapi jumpa sampul berisi CD yang ditinggalkannya. The CD contains the pictures Nik took of his heroic efforts.

"Papa tahu kamu ingin menyelamatkan kota kita dari jenayah, tapi kamu terlalu 'obsessed'"

Nik pulang ke rumah and ponders on how he hates himself. Nampaknya krisis identitinya masih lagi belum berakhir. He even wish that he was dead. Keesokan harinya, Nik tries to leave pass his father but was caught. Prof Hafiz cuba menyedarkan Nik yang dia tidak perlu meneruskan aktiviti vigilantenya namun Nik berkeras as it is his responsibility. Wow, bertanggungjawab juga Nik ni, I would say terlampau caring sampai akan rasa bersalah kalau dia tidak dapat selamatkan sesiapa yang memerlukan.

"Dia tu gila glamour ke?"

Di pejabat Harian Galaksi, Burn menyerahkan CD yang diterimanya oleh Nik. Mereka membincangkan tentang Hero Misteri yang semakin melampaui batas menjalankan aktiviti menyelamatkan orangnya. Besides that, Burn brought up about the email he sent in the previous episode di mana dia telah menulis tentang semua yang berlaku sebelum memorinya hilang. Namun, dia masih tidak memahami kandungan email tersebut after 2 years receiving it. Macam terlalu lama to bring that up, although I thought doing that might make a great sub-plot. Aina bertemu dengan Nik untuk membincangkan perhubungan mereka. Dia luahkan perasaan tidak puas hatinya atas sikap Nik yang semakin melupainya. Aina suggests that they take a break in order for Nik to start treating her better. Nik tidak dapat menerima hakikat ini.

"He's a shy guy."

Sementara itu, at the villain's lair, we see Dr Shamil speaking from a TV to introduce a new character, Dr Harris (played by Jason Chong) that will take over Dr Shamil's duties as he is now with Agron Trotsky to continue their work on the ADAM programme. Dr Harris adds that he has created a serum to cure Prof Mazni. Nak pula dipulihkan. Dulu Prof Hafiz nak tolong dia tak nak. Or are we talking about a different illness that's yet to be revealed? Dr. Harris injects the serum but Prof Mazni falls into a coma. Di tempat kerja Aina, she receives a call from Nik untuk ajak keluar makan. Aina makes up excuses not to go out with Nik (Freelance Programmer ye Nik, bleh ask me for tips! Haha). Selepas itu, Johan enters the room to invite her to lunch and she accepts. Ish3. Kata tahu jaga diri. Masih lagi tak belajar2.

"Saya tahula saya boss, tapi tak perlulah formal sangat."

Meanwhile, Dr Harris reveals the new Lisa post-facelift. He also assures Jimmy that when he perfects Lisa, they can reap the rewards when they sell the ADAM programme chips. Di sini I'm kinda dissapointed that the villain's agenda is still untuk mengaut keuntungan jualan ADAM programme. Wish there were other reasons since ADAM programme semua dah ada di tangan mereka. Lisa sementara itu mengalami mimpi ngeri mengenai kemalangan yang dialaminya yang menjadikannya bionik, semasa dia berlawan dengan Nik dan pembunuhannya oleh Adi.

"Eurekaaaa!!!!"

Pagi itu, before Nik leaves, Aishah tries to talk to him. Namun Nik menggunakan kuasanya untuk memanipulasikan barang-barangan elektrik di dalam rumah untuk menghalang ibunya. Cool, new power. Di makmal Prof Hafiz, Kamal sedang tekun membuat kerja when Prof Hafiz calls him to reveal about his suit project for Nik. The scene here is funny when Prof Hafiz threatens to kill Kamal if he tell anyone about who the Hero Misteri is. Haha.

"If you tell anybody, I will have to kill you."

Overall, I think the episode is a big step up from the previous season. The setting of the labs nampak believable. I like the angles of the shots (teknikal la plak), more stabil and epic looking. And the special effects are way superior than the first. Plot-wise, saya tak boleh nak kata banyak beza. Maybe in time more interesting plot will be revealed. I still don't get why they didn't keep Amanda Misbun as Lisa, didn't see the necessity to change her (sedih la ni).

P/S: Nak ucapkan semua yang beragama Islam Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan. Semoga this year round amal ibadah kita dapat ditingkatkan!
