ABC(US) copped it sweet from their viewers, with the new one/old one/new one/ old one airing schedule last year. Considering that the 'old one' was just an earlier episode from the same season (2) - confused the hell out of newcomers to the show.

Didn't help that season 2 sucked mostly.


The show returns to US tv after Superbowl Sunday - Feb 7th, and it'll run right through to the end with no breaks or repeats...or (thank goodness) lame 'recap' episodes.

Season 4 will air in the same model as 24 - it will start in January of 2008 and run nonstop to end of May (when telly here goes on holidays).

Heroes is gonna run for 7 eps straight, then take around 5 weeks off, and then finish again nonstop.

Dunno maybe they are going to do a lost with it and drag it out over 5 or 6 seasons or something equally as stupid.

Wait and see I supose, I'll keep watching it either way I guess...

back on topic... I'm really wanting to know whether Peter sees the 'Nuke destruction' dream as something that will happen or whether it's just a 'possibility' sent his way to help aid him to figure out the situation with Syler down the track. It's pretty obvious that he now has some control of his abilities, which is cool - though I'm seriously beginning to wonder whether or not the script-writers will have Syler be another hero like Peter (but with a serious mental problem), or wheher Syler actually needs to kill people to gain their powers.


I am still wondering if it's going to be Syler instead of Peter in the city-nuke situation as things continue to unfold and change in the show's "timeline"

The thing I like about Heroes is that just when you think you've got something worked out it totally changes. Looks like Peter is turning evil now that he's learning how to control his powers. And anyone comparing the show to Lost needs to be stripped naked in a field and shot in the head. Well maybe not, but still.

Maybe Sylar steals a changling power from someone and it's really HIM exploding not Peter. Peter's becoming pretty staunch now that he's beginning to control his powers, if he survives the 'explosion' they'll need to put some kind of limit on him otherwise what's the point of having other characters when you have super-Peter. And they better stop skirting around this Lindeman character, he's the equivalent of the monster from Lost season 1.

Yeh I was thinking the same thing, but they've already seeded the notion of limitations for Peter. It'll probbaly be that if he uses his powers too much, particularly if he's using multiple powers, that he will overload and hurt himself / asplode. So while Peter is versatile, he won't be able to go toe-to-toe with any single Hero for long, or his control won't be as good in a particular area etc. Still, they do need to nerf Druids Peter.

No doubt Dr. Chandra will put it down to the fact that Peter's powers are not a natural fit because they are learned, so his body can't handle them non-stop like the other guys.

What about Nikki / Jessica? Do you lot reckon that the split personality is part of her power, or that its just a 'normal' personality disorder compounded with the super-strength that only Jessica can use?

I hope her power is disappearing from the series asap.

It's annoying me how drawn out some of the plotlines for this show are becoming. I love how Rome gives u so much closure with each episode, and I wish alot of other shows would just aim for 2 or 3 series and then finish on a high.

I read somewhere that Linderman is going to be played by Malcolm McDowell which should be pretty cool :)

I'm pretty sure there was an episode when Nikki was in prison talking to Micah and the guards told her it was time to go and, while still in the Nikki persona, she broke a baton in half before the guards jumped her. I think the super-strength is genetic but only the Jessica persona knows how to fully access and control it. In time I think Nikki will learn to control her power like Peter is doing. No idea if the split personality is a power, if it is maybe she can learn to control it and turn both personalities into one with attributes from both.

I read some things that the Heroes execs said:
Kring also described that Niki’s split-personality ‘power’ was originally written as ability to be in two places at once, highly fitting for a single mother.

http://www.ogmog.com/2007/02/07/heroes-execs-discuss-shows-future-lost-more/

I guess that makes sense since she originally did heaps of s*** far away in a short amount of time while blacked out.

It has a plot. Unlike lost however, this one is more than “a cool idea” rather Hero’s is a 5 year plan.

The only show I've seen pull off a 5 year plan properly was Babylon 5. That's my only worry with heroes, is that it isn't going to make it. We'll see though.

As for comparing it to lost. It is just how they have done the story. With everyone's lives sort of intermingling, etc. Unlike Lost though, the story is going some where and fast :p

As far as I know, Babylon 5 is the only show – at least in sci-fi - that had bothered to make a 5 year plan. Most shows focus on this episode and the one following and have no plan for the future with past episodes being cannon or plot devices for episodes being written. The best we get are short story arcs, or in very rare cases an entire season is planned out ahead of time.

That latest ep of Heroes was f***ing amazing. Would have to be one of the best things I've seen in ages plus seeing Eric Roberts turn up in something that doesn't suck was refreshing. That ep explained an ass-load of stuff so it will be interesting to see where the show goes from here.

10/10 for that ep.

Yeh, every episode in Heroes seems to stay on the plot. This is probably why I'm so hooked. Smallville and Stargate(s) are good and all, but theres so much random stuff in most of each season that doesnt get the story anywhere. I suppose thats the whole one-ep-at-a-time thing.

Did Buffy have a long term plan? I wonder if Firefly did?


Buffy: It mostly went on the self-contained seasonal approach. Setup a 'Big Bad' for the season early on, and then lead up to a big biffo at the end. Joss occasionally threw in a couple of things early on, to develop later:

- The Mayor was referred to in season 2 as being one who knew about Buffy, the Hellmouth, etc. He finally appeared in season 3 and was the Big Bad.

- Willow's sexual orientation: passing reference in season 3 (Dopplegangland), expanded from season 4 onward.

- Dawn: hinted at in season 3 (Faith refers to "lil sis" in a dream sequence), Tara says "Be home before Dawn" in season 4's "Restless". Dawn appears season 5 onward

The rest was mostly made-up season-to-season, and referred backward in a "knew-it-all-along" style. Things like "The First Evil," Faith's return, Anya's musical reprisal (leftover song).


As for Firefly. We'll never know. :(


Slow reveal television is nothing new. I'm just amazed that they can get away with it nowadays. Twin Peaks was meant to be slow reveal...but pressure was placed on David Lynch to wrap up the murder story. The show went downhill after that. (since the entire show's premise was resolved)

Just watched episode 18 and i cant wait to see 19. Only thing i dont like about it is how strong sylar is.
a) how did he turn off the drip that Mohinder set up to paralyze his brain?
b) it seems he has some sort of healing ability aswell because he fell from 5 stories and didnt seem to be hurt and was killed and brought himself back to life in that cell at the paper place

telekinesis

his original power was that he knew how things work. he used his power to learn how the drip affected his body then he "evolved" so that it no longer had any affect on him. he was then able to use his other powers again. i think his original power cant be hindered by drugs etc, because he did the same thing when HRG had him prisoner.

Playing devil's advocate, the answer might just be because the writers just didn't do it that way.

BUT

Maybe Hiro somehow shielded Pete from his ability, its possible that Pete f***ing around with the space-time continuum is a bad idea.

Warping space-time doesn't seem natural or instinctual. Most of Peter's powers he seems to have learned to use in a moment of crisis, falling off a building, bleeding to death etc.

Who knows.

peter hasnt remembered how he "felt" when he was with future hiro - this is how he uses the powers he doesnt realise he has yet...ie when he fell from the roof onto the car, he "felt" how he felt when he accidently healed himself with claire next to him after sylar

my bets is his is how he stops sylar from taking his head

btw, we know that peter has the ability to manipulate time, thats how future hiro spoke to him - peter was the only other one that would be able to stay unfrozen when hiro comes back

Well at least we know how peter gets his "Scar" now that future hiro spoke of. (well maybe, but having his skull cut open might leave a mark .... perhaps hehe).

I cant wait to see all the cold and telekinisis and item melting s*** thats going to go back and forth in the battle between peter and sylar as he absorbs his powers and uses them against him along with some sneaky invis and Regenerating and reading Sylars thoughts while they fight perhaps... :D.

Damn Peter is going to be powerful after this fight!

It's also possible with the fight going on and some events afterswards he might be to distracted to remember how he felt around the cheerleader leaving him to heal normally for awhile.

It's definately going to be a tough one on the writers if they still intend to write that one in but as with much of the premise of the rest of the show, actions taken may change the possible futures.

or he doesnt get a scar anymore because he did what future hiro told him to do and saved the cheerleader. i think in future hiros future peter never met claire so never got her power.

treated myself and watched the last two eps in 720i

very nice, dunno if its worth the extra gig of downloads though (just less, HD eps are 1.2 gig)

Holy f***ing s*** that ep was amazing!!!!

I wanted to see Sylar and Peter battle it out but I guess we'll have to wait or now it might never happen. Only thing that was disappointing was there was no big battle with Hiro and Peter making their way up to sissy Hiro. Would have loved to see Peter taking down all those armed guards. Would have been much carnage indeed!

Now the long wait til next week.

I'm not going to bother with spoiler tags, because if you're reading this thread without watching it first you're an idiot.

My guess is the reason Peter has the scar is because it has some meaning behind it, and hes keeping it for a reason, like to remind him of something or punish himself or something like that. Cos yeah, if he stole the regen power, he could heal that scar whenever he wants, so if he still has it hes probably chosen to have it.

Spoiler:

Future Hiro maps out time in Isacc's studio and realises where he go the rengeration power so he can tell Peter to save her in the past.

As Peter did save the cheerleader he has the regen ability and the cheerleader is alive and hence Sylar doesn't have that ability. So future Hiro's plan to save the world by saving the cheerleader hasn't worked as he expected. Sylar still survives his attack without the regen ability and ends up getting the regen ability from the cheerleader in the future.

They seem to be in a version of the future with both changed and unchanged elements from time travel. Seems all a bit confusing.

The thing that changes the future isn't saving the cheerleader, that just enables the thing which changes the future, its just a vital piece of the puzzle. The thing which actually changes the future is Hiro stabbing Sylar. And since Hiro hasn't stabbed Sylar yet, the future isn't changed yet (though claire was alive so Peter must have still had the healing power thing in the future).

Then of course, if future Hiro made his whole timeline under the assumption it was Sylar who was the bomb, and didn't know it was Peter, everything he worked out would be completely and utterly wrong.

Time travel always gets messy. I'm sure if they want to explain it they can bust out some quasi-scientific sounding quantum bulls*** about how theres an infinite number of possible futures and each time something happens in the world it spawns a possible future where that decision/event could have gone every possible way, and that the future Hiro went to was just one of many possible futures. But quite frankly, I hope they don't, I'm happy to just suspend disbelief and go along for the awesome ride.

As Khel said, if you got here somehow dodging spoilers, good on ya, but there's some below.

But future Hiro said he had already stabbed Sylar and he regenerated, hence the flaw since Clare is alive he couldn't have that power.


I think its possible for Claire to be alive and Sylar to have nicked her powers. In the time line that Hiro went to, Sylar has regen powers. Its been established a fair few times that the regen is enough to heal through a mortal brain wound, at least once there isn't a hunk of glass or something else in the road.

Death hasn't been established as necessary for Sylar to steal powers from people. Its just that opening their heads for a look see at what's going on inside normally kills them - Claire could be an exception. She seems to be able to live through pretty heavy duty s***.

- Peter fails to 'save' the cheerleader, she gets her skull opened and Sylar finds out how to heal.
- Sylar leaves Claire is dead. Later she revives, possibly after being declared legally dead by the coroner.
- Bennet hides her.
- The world thinks Claire is dead, so Peter never meets her, and doesn't have regen powers.
- Hiro tries to kill Sylar after the election, but fails because Claire has given him regeneration.
- In the final conflict Peter gets pretty bashed up, gets a scar, but blows the s*** out of New York.

A couple things still got me scratching my head:

Future Mohinder remembers the conversation with Peter about Future Hiro warning him to save the cheerleader. If Future Peter met Future Hiro on the train, then why didn't he save the cheerleader like he was told?!

If Future Peter is the cause of the bomb, and not Sylar, then assuming I'm right above, why doesn't he die in the assplosion? Linderman?

Speaking of Linderman, he was suspiciously absent in the future.

maybe what we saw on the train was the second run through of events... maybe the first time it happened, they didnt know.. hence why hiro came back..

also maybe, peter didnt get there on time first time round.. therefore sylar got the regen ability...

We don't know why Peter blows up. His dream sequence shows him losing control of his powers.

Possibly in a final showdown with Sylar he overloads?

if matt can hear thoughts.. how come he wasn't able to pick up on sylar/nathan's unspoken thoughts, then realise his intent therefore realising who he actually was?


Matt doesn't seem to be able to mine people's brains, he has to trick them into thinking about something, or catch their unguarded thoughts. Sylar is well aware of Matt's abilities and would be pretty careful. Sylar is pretty messed up in the head - maybe he was able to believe in his own mind that he really was Nathan Petrelli when he needed to?

We also don't know the powers of everyone Sylar killed; he might have axed someone with mental powers.

So why would sylar have bothered to steal her powers again? You wrote all that crap yet it was very obvious that he was stealing her powers in the episode.

so either sylar did get to claire, some events happened, bomb went off, killed millions then he continued to wreck havoc?

or he didnt get to claire first time round.. and peter got to her first to help her.. not quite sure how he'd survive the blast but if he couldnt regen.. (sylar that is) unless he wasnt near the blast... so.. in that case he killed her in the furture for payback? revenge for getting away the first time?

or sylar got to claire first.. killed her and got her powers.. she healed herself after he left.. peter got there late.. then picked up her ability too?

is there a list of powers that sylar has up to episode 20?

i dont understand how he can kind of heal etc,

-> he got thrown off that overpass, when trying to kill claire, and got owned and seemed to walk away pretty much unharmed.

and there where another few times aswell that he has seemed to not get hurt from situations that normal people would get hurt in.

I don't think Sylar got anything from Clair until that meeting at the house where he finally caught her and then did his thing. If he had any type of healing power before that my guess is he got it from Linderman since you don't see him in the ep. So if Hiro does stab Sylar with his sword and he survives, maybe he used Lindermans power to heal himself.

Just a thought.

Sylar didn't need to get it from Clair, he got it when he killed Peter who'd gotten it from Clair. He hadn't seen it at that stage, and didn't know what clair's power was.

Sylar didn't have to worry about having his mind read cause he always had the Haitian around. And what's his story? He's good enough to help save Clair when her father gets his memory wiped but still working for an evil government in the future?

What if Clair's ability is to come back from the dead and not just heal cuts and scratches? It's been told quite a bit that by having large chunks of wood or glass in the brain makes them dead but after removing the object, Clair (and Peter) came back to life.

That would explain why Sylar can still heal but still wanted Clair's abilities AND backs up the whole "Save the Cheerleader, save the world" thing.

PS: I'd like to stick my own object into Clair to prove the theory.

If I was Sylar I'd be staying the hell away from the Haitian. Becoming suddenly powerless and revealing yourself as the most hated man on the planet? Uncool.

The Haitian might think he's working for the greater good, if he's buying into the line post-explosion that powers are too dangerous to leave lying around.

That's what's really interesting about the Heroes story. The analogy being drawn to another New York disaster - and what followed politically in the States - is pretty clear...

My 2 cents

I have always argued that you can't change time...

So i think the 5 year future episode, has to be the way it ends up...
There is no changing it...

He is my usual reasoning (if it can be called that)

---

If i gave you a time machine right now and I gave you the choice between:

1) go back and assassinate Hitler as a child
2) Go back and assassinate Jesus as a child

Which would you choose?

Well, you could choose either, but:

You would fail to assassinate the person because I know of both people...
or
If you succeeded I would pose a different 2 options because I would not know of one so you have changed nothing

Therefor... You can not change history, period!

:)

---

Hiro must fail!

Then again this is just a TV show, where people can fly and walk through walls, so they can do anything they like :)

Sadly, NBC is encouraging people to submit theories. What they don't tell you, is that those ideas become their property. This is especially handy should the oft-threatened writers strike go ahead.

But on this episode:

- Sylar saying "I've been waiting a long time for this" is an odd thing to say if he already 'killed' Claire once - which we're all assuming since, Claire knew exactly who Sylar is

- I don't think Peter ever met Claire in the timeline Present-day Hiro jumped to

- Present-day Sylar can survive falls due to his telepathy

- I'm more convinced now more than ever, that the events leading to the explosion is the direct result of Hiro trying to kill/hurt Sylar. I think this is fitting - present-day Hiro never questions what he does next. This is a trademark character flaw (setup for the 'fall' and redemption)

Which means that in three weeks, season 1 should fittingly end with a bang. :)

Claire would still know who he is if she was saved, she saw him at her school when he killed that other cheerleader chick, and she saw Peter own him. She knows he cuts the tops of people's heads, someone might have filled her in on all the details about all the other powers he has, so I'm sure it wouldn't be hard for her to put the pieces together and go "Hey, this person behind me just froze me in place with telekinesis and is cutting my head open... OMG SYLAR!"

one of the graphics novels from a couple of weeks ago was about future hiro and him trying to find the exact point he should go back to stop whats happened. one of the picture he had hanging on the string was a picture of dead claire with the top of her head cut off. so im guessing there is multiple timelines.

Future Hiro claimed Sylar was invulnerable, due to Peter not intercepting Sylar's attack on Claire in the past (his whole reasoning for jumping back in time).

That, and the "brain damage" theories already covered here - she can live through brain trauma. And Claire knew of Sylar once he revealled himself (although she coulda just been warned by Mr Bennett in the past, that Sylar is a mean motor scooter).

Eh. The lack of Linderman speaks volumes. Considering he himself wanted the assplosion to go ahead.

i still dont get how she cant regen when theres a stick in her head but can when its taken out. i thought it might have something to do with the spinal cord being seperated from the brain when the stick is in, but they are still seperated when its taken out. grr questions that will probably never get answered.

For easy understanding, lets call the main Hiro of the series Hiro1 and "Future Hiro" Hiro2. 5 years ago, Hiro2 stabbed Sylar, but he had killed claire, and regenned, so five years later, Hiro2 goes back in time to stop Sylar killing Claire and getting the regen. He is successful. Now when Hiro1 stabs Sylar, he won't regen. But Hiro1 hasn't stabbed Sylar yet, so for the sake of the story, Sylar is still alive, and the future hasn't changed.

It doesn't matter what would happen in the "real world", thats the way the narrative is flowing, and thats the order the events are meant to be perceived in by us, the viewer. Its a comic book world, laws of physics and reality are secondary to action and cool storylines, so just enjoy the ride and stop trying to make it all fit!

When you push, and push and push for some kind of real explanation for how its all possible, thats when the writers are forced to come up with silly ideas like infinite parallel universes, hypertime, and people beating on the walls of reality.

to stop Sylar killing Claire and getting the regen


I think Sylar kills Linderman for the healing power which is why Claire is alive 5 years later. Which leads to how Hiro still fails his mission (Stabbing won't work) and leads to the 5 years future episode actually being the way it all ends.

Season 2... I'll call it "The Resistance"
Which will start with the ultra cool battle between Sylar and Petrelli outside the door in the "future". Fire and Ice going crazy :)
And the series will be about the clearing of there names and building a new future with acceptance of there kind... especially since the President just flew away from a press conference. Will be a good story

they did call the imprisonment of 'heroes' to protect the general public 'the lindeman act' so I still think he is either alive, or very much has been influential in the 5 years since the explosion.

Yeah, I caught that too, it was on the news on the tv or something? I think Linderman is going to play a BIG part in whats to come, I don't think hes going to die and have his brains eaten by Sylar in the near future. Remember, hes the one that gets Nathan into the whitehouse, so he has to stay around at least that long.

Here is a twist...

What if the future president was in fact Nathan who has taken all Sylars powers instead...

Making Nathan an uber bad dude who kills Sylar then takes his powers (no idea how, perhaps Sylar explains how he can do it to Nathan ) then goes on a killing rampage in the guise of Sylar to get even more power :)

I think Nathan is power hungry enough to do it :)

I think you should lay off the crack.

I don't see how flying powers would allow him to achieve any of that.

I don't want to sound like Metrix spouting wild unfounded theories, but does anyone else get the feeling like all the parents and older generation are part of the "evil" supergroup while the kids are the good guys who have to fight them? Linderman, Hiro's dad, Nathin & Peter's mum, they've all been shown to be connected and working together, and I think in a previous episode Linderman said he had worked with friends who had powers when he was younger to try and fight evil and save the world.

I reckon it'd be really cool if all the parents and older people in the show are like some group of heroes from the 60's who are now disillusioned with how they couldn't make a difference and have taken a more hardline approach. It actually reminds me of Watchmen a little. Actually the concept of causing a catrosphe and killing thousands of people for the purpose of unifying everyone and bringing them together reminds me of Watchmen a LOT.

I find it hard to figure peter's motivation for hanging around, he keeps saying it's him that will explode and yet he knows what the nuclear dude looks like, wouldn't you just steer clear of him altogether? or better yet get claire to kill the nuclear dude so that he doesn't even have a chance of passing on his powers?

Well now i have another whole episode to spew forth before mentioned theories...

Well I feel that...

Actually haven't got anything new... still stand by... Hiro can't do the deed.. and the 5 year future episode is exactly how this will all end up... Linderman is the source of healing and Peter is the bomb...

Not too sure about the blank comic tho...

You simply can not change the future :)

Didn't Isaac say that the future can't be changed? The evidence is obvious when the timeline has Peter saving Clare but then a few episodes later Hiro & Ando jump into the future and the bomb has gone off. Shouldn't the saving of Clare in their timeline have stopped the bomb?

I'm going to predict that the explanation of the brunette chicks (Bennetts co-worker) ability will be a big part in what's going to come. Previously we thought she could change shape but after this episode it seems she can change what people can see.

It was assumed by all Claire Bear was dead...

We have all seen that dad knew she was alive, and from the 5 year ep we see he is the one hiding the heroes from the comapny so he is good at hiding ppl

So there is no "Save the cheerleader, save the world" because she was never killed... How disappointing :(

Again, the 5 years future ep is gospel

We are just leading up to the inevitable

I believe they have already changed the future. Syler was supposed to be the bomber but he needed Clair's power to do it. Now that he missed out on getting it the future has changed, the bomb may still go off but it won't be from Syler.....that leaves Ted or Peter to go thermo on New York. Now Peter believes that he will go nuke......unfortunately Isac/Syler's paintings aren't exactly that descriptive at the moment.

in the graphic novel called string theory, future hiro is looking at claires string and hanging on the string is a photo from most likely a newspaper of omg dead claire. her head cut off and everything.

i think atm sylar doesnt care if he dies when he blows up, so atm all he needs is teds power.

Nah, you can change the future it's the past that you can't change. The future is determined by the *most likely timeline* and isn't concrete until it actually happens.

'Future Hiro' builds the timeline string to try and work out the exact moment that something needs to *change* to ensure the timeline splits off at the correct time and place. He knows that 'Past Hiro' will come to see him, because he went to see 'Future Hiro' when he was 'Past Hiro'.

Assuming 'Past Hiro' can kill Silar at the appropriate time, He'll spawn a new future where the bomb doesn't go off. 'Future Hiro's' timeline will either cease to exist, or continue on as a completely seperate universe.

It's all elementary String Theory / 4+ Dimension Theory. :P

sylar didnt do anything. when hiro froze time, sylars mum froze in mid fall. im guessing hiro lost concentration and time started again because sylars mum fell to the floor when sylar moved.

Correct. I would think Hiro's uncertainty about killing Sylar made him loose concentration and drop the timefreeze.

Sylar has been able to do the "frosty freezey" thing since, like, ever. Right back in the second episode, in the scene that introduces Parkman, hes at a homicide done by Sylar and the guy sitting at the table with his head cut open is frozen.

sylar cant just yet. levitate himself maybe, but not fly to the extent that nathan can

also not sure peter has the greatest control over his flying - still trying to work out how his empathy actually works (ie - if he just naturally inherits their powers, which i think is accurate, or if he still needs connections to people to be able to use their power at full strength)
ravn0s
Posts: 4981

imo peter just stores the powers until he wants to use them. he doesnt need any special connection with the people he takes powers from. what i dont know is whether he has to know that the person has a power before he can use their power. like can he use edens power? he came into contact with her but he never knew she had a power.

edit: just realised he used claires power when he didnt know she had one. oh and claudes.

In the latest comic Peter just has to be near em... The comic is based in the future and he is fighting with a super fast running dude and he says something like this:

Peter: I've been looking for a fight

Super Fast Dude (SFD) : Yeah well you'll have to catch me first

Peter: Well thanks for showing me how too run fast too

Next cell they are off in a run

In the same comic there is a dude throwing lightning around, peter goes "Lightning that will be handy, while his hands are all lit up with the stuff" was an instant take up and use.

So in the future, Peter just needs to be close enough to sense the "feel" of the ability and can instantly use it with full control and at will.

I was just saying this while watching... how could sylar ever kill Ted, or Hiro for that matter unless they were incapacitated/unconcious. All Ted would have to do as soon as his head started to get cut would be let of a nice hefty dose of radiation and sylar would be toast!

Ted was still definately concious and aware hanging upsidedown in the truck, I though that part was a little lame.

f***ing awesome ep although I'm a little disappointed they killed off three characters, especially Linderman. And the way Sylar killed off Ted was too easy especially after seeing Ted take out a bunch of SWAT guys in one of those comics. They sprayed him with some type of foam that sets hard and he could still use his power and fried them all even though he couldn't move.

Oh well. The ending still kicked alot of ass. Next weeks ep is gonna rock extremely f***ing hard.

So if Peter comes into close contact with Syler does he take on all the abilities that Syler has? I was reading over at http://www.tv.com that they are doing 6 back story eps over the US summer that will introduce 12 new "heros" and people are going to vote 6 of the characters into the next season. Season 2 will start back in the US Fall. They are going to need some new blood, Syler been chopping heads pretty fast over last few eps. Ted should have gone nuke on his ass.

can't wait till next week now..

i too thought that the ted/sylar scene was a tad .. i dunno.. lame.. but anyway.. i spose they had to do something along those lines so sylar could "blow up"

also when the guys were in the car, i almost half expected sylar to jump out at them from the shadows... or jump out on ando and hiro in the painters shop..

also it's about time hiro stopped skulking!

It would make sense if you think in terms of 24 episodes a season like the show 24 has. Probably gonna get jipped an ep though.

Peter can already use Sylar's powers - Peter used telekinesis to pull something (a wardrobe?) in to hit Sylar...just before he 'died' from the glass wedged in his brain.

Peter should totally cut sylars head open just to be ironic. I honestly don't see how it should be so hard to kill him.

He has Hiro's time stop/travel power... stop time + cut off Sylar's head = Peter wins!


I agree it would be a fairly pussified way to end the show, but its so obvious!

Are Peter and Sylar immune to their own radiation as it appears that Ted was? If so then why would Sylar need Claire's power? As far as I know if you cut off Claire's head she is a dead as Ted. I want to see Claire cut off a limb and grow it back....that would be cool.
Creepy
Posts: 697

I get the impression she doesn't regrow, so much as she repairs. So if you cut off her arm, she'd only be able to reattach the severed arm. Not grow a new one.

Which means that she could have her head cut open, and remain dead until someone put her back together. In this way, it would be possible for Sylar to steal Claire's ability without her completely dying - since Sylar's 'gift' is just simply being able to see how things work. That's how it all started.

I think explode is what the characters thought it was, (in the pictures) because they did not know that somebody had a radiation power ie could produce radiation/explosion without destroying themselves.

the thing I don't get, and I don't tink I'm over analysing here, is that in one of the very first episodes Parkman shoots Sylar fair and square. He then gets up and basically flies away.

She did die though. Sylar killed her at the stadium in Future Hiro's timeline. Future Hiro saw this as one of the thing that allowed Sylar to survive and therefore told Peter Petrilli to 'save the cheerleader' as he knew that Peter had the correct ability to be able to hold off Sylar's attack.

I get the feeling they just have a weird way of doing time travel in that only the things they do in the current time in the show change the future. It's kinda dodgy and it infuriates me greatly.

He can't be dead because in the future Sylar had his ability to walk through walls.


Instead of thinking of the future they went to as THE future, think of it as a possible future, ie, the future that would happen if Sylar killed Claire and got DL's powers and whatever else. Think of it more as a "what if" type scenario, than the definitive, absolute future that is going to happen no matter what.

I thought the ending was a bit retarded... Spoiler:
they seem to keep forgetting Peter has all those powers... hellooo there is a guy standing next to you that can fly (in any case he should have the power already) there should have been no need for Nathan to fly him away to splode.

The only thing I could think of that could possibly explain that would be if Peter could only utilise 1 power at a time. Does anyone recall if he has ever used multiple powers at the same time in the past?

I also found it a bit retarded that noone seemed to think it would be a good idea to check that Sylar was actually dead... or to do ANYTHING at all with the body. Before the very end I figured sylar was gawn and season 2 was going to focus on this mega bad ass dude Molly mentioned.




After that mega kick ass episode a few weeks ago those plot holes really hurt the ending... for me anyway :(


Are we supposed to be using the spoiler thing all the time in this thread or is it generally accepted that we discuss episode content in here regularly?

Yeah, Sylar buggering off and nobody noticing was pretty f***ing stupid. That place would be crawling with cops and as if you wouldn't notice a massive blood stain heading into an open manhole.

How many times has there been a chance to have a massive battle but instead it's all over in a few seconds. Definately not the ending I was hoping for.

Considering how awesome the leadup was, that was a pretty lame season finale. I was expecting some awesome fight between Peter and Sylar with powers flying everywhere, but no, we get a couple of punches and then a lame ending. I bet what will make it even more lame, is we'll find out next season Nathan isn't even dead and survived through the use of some hastily contrived deus ex machina.

Also, I can't say the "cliffhanger" ending with Hiro did anything to make me look forward to next season, I was expecting some big tease of whats coming, something that makes me go "WTF! HOLY s*** I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THAT JUST WAS RIGHT THERE!", not goofy Hiro messing up his powers and ending up in another crazy mess.

The best thing about the season finale, was that we can now laugh at all the people who had stupid theories about how the future can't change and everything was going to happen the same way.

Yeah losers! I hope they don't dare to speculate next season in these forums, i say we ban em if they do!

I for one think the whole ending was, well... silly...

Ruined a perfectly good show :(

Spoiler:

- They introduce super scary dude
- they imply Sylar lives
- Sylar was in fact a goody just trying to stop the evil Peter (why else go to the spot you know where the bombs is going t go off)
- Since the bomb didn't kill anyone, why would a future Hiro bother going back to warn Peter to save the cheerleader, so the freexe time train thing would never happen adn no "Save the cheerleader" would ever be uttered !
- Silly ending, typical we must continue the season next year so lets ruin the planned ending like "Prison Break"
- and finally ... Bah Humbug!



Season 6 of 24 ended well enough tho :)

the s*** about sylar being the goody trying to stop the bomb is bs, as he pushed away hiro who was going to stop petrelli. yea there was a lack of cool fight scene at the end, and can someone explain wtf was going on at the end? hiro back in time, in japan, is that guy kensei or whoever? and the eclipse??

At the end Hiro just went back in time randomly so he wouldn't splat on the building. I think Hiro's dad may = Kensei and his power is enternal life perhaps, this would explain why he is such a cainor with a sword and his comment about having had his share of battle experience when he was teaching Hiro.

i mean the whole exploding man thing, changing the future etc. ive known sylar would survive since half way through the show since the guy playing him had signed up as a permanent character for season 2. hell i dont know how u guys expected a sword to kill him since so much worse had happened to him.

also sylar wasnt the goodie. he wasnt trying to stop peter. he just said that to piss peter off.

so what happened? no more Jessica? just nikki with awesome jessica powers


yep looks like niki is in control for good now.

hopefully they get a bigger budget for season 2 so they can do more cool s***.

The next season will bring in the new even badder bad guy that Molly talked about. The scary guy that can see her when she tries to see him. I'm pretty sure Peter survived the bomb but I do think that Nathan died (don't think he signed on for season 2). Syler got so owned by hero, shame he didn't take off his head though. I guess they needed an old bad guy to reintroduce at some stage.

Will have to watch the new character voting shows they are saying is coming over the summer.

The cheese factor was a little much for me, seemed like a few characters really just went over the top(especially the bennet's) and that was a bit distracting. Over all I thought it was a good series tho. Hiro is still my favorite character when he is in his goofy nerd mode.

Samurai.
Ninja is Evil/bad while Samurai's are soldiers of the Lord (Or respective 'good' god thereof) so it's an important point :p

I wasn't overly disappointed in the Ending. A larger/longer fight would have been a nice addition though.

Sylar being allowed to crawl away was pretty poor though. Maybe they could of had some other faction, From the Original Group (Linderman/Pete's Mum/etc) capture him.
Thinking they could hold/control him so he could escape in S2.

Weren't they based on 5 different stories with different characters? I'm quite sure their original stories changed?

Also, I thought Nathan and Parkman died? Nathan sacrificing himself by flying Peter out of there. And Parkman in the ambulance as if he was dead, since there wasn't a medic in the back with him trying to keep him alive after being hit with HEAPS OF BULLETS.

Did I miss something?

I kinda agree with Heardy, they should have quit while they were ahead, I'm not sure they're ever going to be able to match the level of awesome that was in Season 1.

Hmm, not sure what to think of the first ep. Was pretty boring overall and it looks like we're gonna have to start all over again with a new story. I would have preferred it started where the last season left off. I just hope it doesn't spend an ass-load of time introducing new characters and plots so that when it gets to the seasons end we're still no closer getting answers.

I found the ep to be pretty average, but that's because they have like a million different plots going you hardly get to see anything happen. I would rather them concentrate on a couple of characters each ep instead of seeing Peter or Hiro use their powers and you think, cool, something good is gonna happen then it moves on to someone else.

But in saying that it was alot better than last weeks ep.

Apart from possibly phasing (I can't remember whether he did that earlier), he's done all of that in Season 1 .. except now with the memory loss, he's rediscovering the powers so you get to see it again stretched over several episodes.

Nothing really new, so I don't see how "it rocked". Each to their own [crappy] opinion :)

^^ out of all the powers i listed, he had only used telekenisis before in season 1. in the future episode of season 1 he did phase through a door but that was because sylar phased him by grabbing him and pulling him through it. so apart from telekenesis, it was the first time we have seen him use those powers on his own.

Hiro's parts rock as per usual. However the new south American brother and sister f***ing suck... watching that part develop is painfully slow and boring, plus her power licks anus.

At one point I actually said "they need to hurry up and get on with some action" stop dragging meaningless s*** out.


2nd ep wasn't great but it didn't totally suck imo.

Adam must be pretty bad ass if he can't die and has lived for that long. You could be a pro at everything ... EVERYTHING!

Edit: just read that article - at least he has spoken out and said yes we f***ed up with mushy romance s*** that belongs in soaps and not in Heroes. Hopefully that should be the end of it.

I think the biggest problem is that they are trying to string the series along too far too quickly and are adding too much useless padding.

not sure on that one... that one always got me. i mean do they just stop aging completely or do they just age really really really slowly....


maybe in claire and sarks case, as they regen their cells, they dont actually die, therefore the dead cells dont give the effect they are getting old...


or something... o_O

it's all rather mystifying...

It's just a regular TV show with typical plot holes, especially with time-travel, etc. So I wouldn't think about it too deeply as they probably didn't consider it in much detail themselves, only enough to entertain.

We also already know that he's been treated by the company and presumably met Adam somewhere in between. I'm sure we'll find out more in the coming episodes.

Can't wait till the dad dies too!


Thats crazy talk! Hes one of the best characters in the show imo.

But yeah, f*** off those two mexicans, they're useless. I'm hoping they're just a means to an end to bring sylar back into the game and then hes gonna eat their brains and kill them.

I could definately be wrong but i wouldn't assume that Sark's only power is re-gen. I think he might be a power absorber like Peter which would explain why all the first gen guys (Charles Devaux, Linderman, Kaito etc.) feared him, it would also mean that he could have teleported from the past (because he met Hiro)

This season with the exception of Peter and Suresh's stories has been very disinteresting.

Even Hiro's storyline is a bit *meh*.

Here's to hoping they start to pick up pace.

'HE WORLD-SAVING STAKES SHOULD HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED SOONER', HIRO WAS IN JAPAN WAY TOO LONG etc.. teen love sucks etc... They do promise a quicker finish to the 7 episode series.. yeah thats right they're in the process of making the december 3 episode the last of volume 2 (writers strike etc etc etc..)

So what did everyone think of that season? I thought it was s*** except for some parts in the last few eps.

People who I don't want in the next season: Claire, Nikki, Micah, Molly, the boy who can fly, that black chick who is Micah's cousin or whatever and the south American chick who kills people when she cries.

People who need to harden the f*** up: Peter

Season 3 better be way more awesome than what we just saw. I want more action and less crying.

I thought the season sucked massively apart from a few select eps mainly the one where Mohinder shoots Noah.

The Maya story was crap and dragged on way too long.
The Claire/West lovestory was crap and also dragged on way too long.
Peter's memory loss and dicking around in Ireland took way too long.
Monica's story was ass as well.

They spent far too long bringing in new s***ty characters and not enough pwnage.

Hopefully Niki is gone too after that last ep, if she just had uberstrength then fine. The constant multiple personality disorder struggle got old really quick and her character became too emo and lame for my liking.

The only really interesting storyline throughout the entire season was Hiro and Adam imo.

If you don't like it, Don't watch it. I won't be worried.

I thought the whole season was excellent. Sure some parts were better than others, but I think its an awesome show.

I like the idea of Heroes. I like some of the characters.

But frankly the writing on the show is pretty much complete trash at this point.

There are 2 major problems with the show, and it's not the crappy, sappy love interests.

The problems are the powers that Peter and Hiro have.

They're *WAY* too powerful.

Hiro for example can control space and time. He can teleport himself and anything else he likes anywhere, anytime.

All well and good right? Well even ignoring paradoxes from time travel and just considering his manipulation of space, what exactly is to stop him from being able to rip apart anything he wants, atom by atom? And then teleporting it across the entire universe?

On noes, Adam is evil and can't die (until recently when despite it being shown that Claire can survive a tree being stuck in her head, it's announced that Adam and Claire are actually Immortals ala Highlander...) let's stick him in a normal coffin in a shallow grave? Why not construct a titanium safe 3 miles thick and bury him in the middle of a planet near Alpha Centauri?

Or if you want to kill him, why not tear his body apart atom by atom and spread them across the universe?

But no, Hiro just runs around with a katana...

It's sloppy writing.

And then there's Peter....who just from being in proximity to someone can copy all of the powers that person has....and apparently can do it better than the original user despite them having months or years to explore their abilities.

So Peter is confronted with a thick safe and he wants to get in...
Which of his many powers should he use?
Should he use the liquid metal power that was the original one Sylar picked up on his first kill?
Should he use Sylar's actual original power of being able to understand how things works (i.e. clocks and watches etc) and work out the combination from that?
What about....oh I dunno.....TELEPORTING INTO THE SAFE?

But no...it's the brute force telekenesis he goes for.
Sure, it's slow and it makes no sense at all, but I guess the writers are realising that they've made some of their characters too powerful and if they actually had any intelligence they'd be utterly unstoppable.

Eh.

I figured he was just going to use DL's walk through walls ability rather than tear the door open...

Would've make a lot more sense in the fact he would have had the virus and could have done whatever he liked with it rather than risk the chance Adam may have been lying to him (which he was of course).

The whole reason he doesn't do crazy things like this is because he's not an evil person. He's a good person and that's why he challenges things like the friendship between him and Adam and whatnot. Sylar would dearly love to scatter the atoms of Hiro over the Universe, but Hiro is/was just a normal good human being.

Its all about the character's personality and moralities and everything else that stops them from doing psycho s*** because they are still trying to get back at least some normal-ness to their lives or save their friends/loved ones from peril etc etc etc.

have to agree with rukh on this one.

the show is really getting stupid. really stupid.

the old lady says "one bullet right through his head" is the only way to kill adam. yet 1 episode before claires dad comes back after being shot in the head. claire had a branch right through her head when a jock tried to bone her. f***ing lame.

and why the hell do they keep adding pointless characters with s*** powers.

Sure. A & C are like the highlander immortals in the same way that they're both Wolverine. Which is to say not.

Sure Claire could survive a tree being stuck in her head, but only when someone pulled it out. The logical extension is that if someone spreads your brains across 4 meters of pavement using a 12 guage special, sure you COULD survive it but someone would have to puddle all of your brains back together before you could regen yourself.

Admittedly there would be interesting theological questions there if it weren't just a TV show.

let's stick him in a normal coffin in a shallow grave? Why not construct a titanium safe 3 miles thick and bury him


Because a titanium safe 3 miles thick would require a whole lot more effort than dumping him in a coffin thats already there?

Because while trying to get the titanium safe buried he'd have to keep control of an Adam who'd really like to kill him when his only power really is to move around faster than everyone else(through various mechanisms)?

And just controlling him by stopping time would work except he doesn't have a convenient safe to bury. He did however have a convenient graveyard with coffins in it.

in the middle of a planet near Alpha Centauri?


I'd argue that there's a huge difference between bending time and space to get around on the earth and bending time and space to teleport however many light years it is to Alpha Centauri. Not to mention that even if he makes it he might die on the surface if it's not exactly habitable.

Finally you're missing the most important reason, the reason why all the early batman movies sucked, the reason that Sylar lived in the first series.

If you tell the audience what happens to a bad guy, NEVER make it forever.

Good bad guys are hard to come by.

It's comic book law.

As I hinted earlier, who put all the molecules of his brain back together after he went nuclear?

Guys just take it as a typical TV show. I've been enjoying the show more ever since I've lowered my expectations about the scientific accuracy and space-time continuity aspects. It's just meant to entertain, as most of the people watching this show probably don't even think of this stuff.

The reply to that question that happened on average of about once an hour on the NBC forums at the end of the first series was "we don't know if his body actually disintegrates." The primary evidence for this is that the original exploding man explodes at one point(can't remember if it actually happened in the series but it definately happened in the comic and that should still be considered canonical) and he can't regen.

I completely agree. My argument isn't "there's firm science behind this" but rather "there's enough plausibility here to just run with it".

i could let that slide to be honest. the contradiction of how you can kill one of the self-healing people just says sloppy writing. but its more than that. this whole season has been completely boring. the characters they added have been completely lame, or redundant. in fact for the most part, this season has been redundant.

That was the common counter-theory. That the explosion is centered on him but he's safe in the middle of the explosion. The argument against that(which is really mostly speculation) is that the initial stages look like they're coming from within him.

The Occam's razor approved theory is that all the heroes are immune to their own powers. So Radiation Man(+ Peter and Gabriel) is immune to his radiation(and possibly radiation in general or else Peter and Gabriel would have f***ed one another up really quickly), Bloody Mary(I mean Maya) doesn't kill herself when she whines amd the unchain molecules guy didn't accidentally liquify himself. Oh and Claire's birth mother doesn't burn herself with her own flame (though i daresay that fires started by her flame are still fair game).

OMG its a TV show on NBC, just watch it f***s sake. You will enjoy movies and tv shows a lot more if you refrain from this bulls***.

This thread reminds me of the poochie episode of The Simpsons. The nerd points out some flaw in itchy and skratchy at the Q&A and Homer shuts him down.

Doug: Uh question for Ms. Bellamy. In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a... [the nerds chuckle] a magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
June: Uh, well, uh...
Homer: I'll field this one. Let me ask you a question. Why would a man whose shirt says "Genius at Work" spend all of his time watching a children's cartoon show?
Doug: [embarrassed pause] I withdraw my question. [starts eating a candy bar].

thats the one

Someone who is unkillable is the sloppiest kind of writing there is. It's what made Superman such a boring character. At least their Achilles Heel can be exploited by a punk with a shotty.

If there was anything that says sloppy writing regarding the regeners it's the whole "their blood is teh healing j00ce" plot. Thats gonna come back to bite them at some point.

Holy s***, it's a TV show, it's fiction, it's not supposed to be realistic. Stop splitting hairs and just watch the show. If you don't like it, stop watching it, and don't complain to the people who like it.

Anyway, I agree that some of the stories this season/volume/whatever were a bit boring, mainly the Maya one, but everything tied together pretty well at the end. All in all, I'm really liking the direction it's heading in, and can't wait to see the next episode, whenever that may be.

Did this season just feel like a really long winded way to get Sylar powered back up and in place to be the villain again? It just felt like the show was in some kind of holding pattern for this season, counting time until Sylar could come back on the scene. Even the big thread of this season (the virus), didn't have the same desperate feeling of "something terrible is going to happen and we're the only ones who can stop it" that the explosion did in the first season, it just felt tacked on and didn't even really feel like much of a threat, which is ironic considering the bomb in the last season was just going to destroy a city and the virus in this one was going to wipe out the whole world.

I dunno, I still enjoyed it, it was still cool, but it definitely just felt like filler.

There were a couple of story threads in volume 2. (Spoilers involved here but i figure if you've made it this far through the thread you're f***ed anyway)

- Aftermath of Vol1: How to deal with having an explosive temperment. This pretty much occured through the first third to half of the volume. Basically up to the one where Pete has a flashback.
- Hiro and the Past: Hiro realises that he has a real chance of f***ing the past by playing around with s***. Or did it always happen that way? i'm trying not to think abou tit. Can we move on now?
- Sins of the parents: Ongoing prior generational bulls***. Good news is that the list of the old guard is shrinking. Only 2 photo people left, 3 if you count Adam(who'll i'm betting will probably be back. Also in true comic fashion, there's probably people not in that photo involved).
- The continuing adventures of Gabriel Gray: Your thread. I'm also including Ye Uber virus as a crossover of this and the prior thread. (and also Micahs thread a little via his mother but not really)
- I'm black, have super powers and a somewhat variable conscience: The Micah saga. Yep.. it's short and far less interesting that it could have been.
- i'm 16 and i'm a virgin every time i screw... stupid regen: Claires new life as a "normal" teenager thread. (apologies for name)

One thing that kind of boned the entire thing was there was love interests in all but the "Sins of the Parents" thread(discounting El's kinky electricity s*** and including the Sandercest overtones between Micah and the muscle memory chick with Uhura for a mother). Even the executive staff were saying(in hindsight) that it kinda went a bit overboard.

I don't think they all should've gone away. As whiney as it was, Claires romance was kind of expected(aren't normal teenagers supposed to be having bad romances and creating drama?) and the Hiro/Adam/blacksmiths daughter triangle was a necessary plot point. But all the rest of them were kind of gratuitous.

The main thing though(and this directly answers the point) was that no thread really stood out and said "I AM THE MAIN PLOT POINT MWAHAHAHA". In Vol 1. we had "Nuke explodes in NY... film at 11" as the focus of everything with a s***load of minor plot points surrounding it. Vol 2. felt more like 2 or 3 majorish plot points competing for time surrounded by love stories and drama.
