The fate of the Petrelli brothers, Sylar, the person the little girl said is worse than Sylar, Hiro, Wi-Fi girl (playing SSB online wherever she goes!!). I know it's supposed to be an "entirely new" storyline, but there has to be some carry over from last season.

Return of a "Why did you do that stupid" I'm looking at you Hiro for me, but at least they hinted at them having a greater plan. There are still the two major factions it seems.
mirror scene is messed up
Post by: MaryJane on September 24, 2007, 03:36:04 PM
Loved the episode. I like the fact that Takezei isn't who Hiro expected him to be and Hiro is the hero behind the hero (pun intended).
I'm very interested in the spanish chicks powers obviously she kills people, but they were all bleeding from their eyes like that statue of the "virgin"(I mean no disrespect to Christians, but she had other kids who weren't "immaculately" incepted) in Mexico I think it was. Maybe when she cries other people cry blood? I hope that isn't it actually but it's the only clue I have.
I can't wait to see what becomes of Peter Petrelli. I'm also glad to see that they're "rehashing" powers. Like the boy in Claire's school who can fly, and (I'm assuming here) the guy who pushed Hiro's dad off the building can regenerate. The thing with Nathan in the mirror was pretty cool imo, showed what he went through after Peter exploded, it added some realism for me, also explains why he went from Presidential candidate to bum.
The cop, the girl, Mohinder, and HRG, I was surprised to see them all still together, going to take down the company. I really want to know who this guy is haunting the girls dreams.
I suppose from the way last season went we can safely assume that the stories although so far seperated now, are still going to intertwine in the end. It should be very interesting to see how they tie together and how Hiro's return affects it all.
I'm watching Journeyman now, interesting so far, as long as it airs after Hiro I suppose I'll watch it, but so far gives me no reason to want to watch it like I do Heroes. (religiously
, pun intended again!)

I bet he just adopted the name and recreated Takezi Kensei in the image of the legends told to him.
Just my speculation, but thats how I see it.

It was sad last season when Nathan died to save the city. No, he is alive again
I wonder what will happen to Peter Amnesia cliche
At least they did some good and finished Sylar. He is apparently back too! Last season was totally worthless!
Most of all if people with superpowers fight they better do more then just tackle each other. They should be stopping time, throwing fireballs, moving fast, turning invisible or casting illusions. Instead the new killer is a super linebacker.
I think the new girl's power is some sort of high pitched scream. The bleeding in everyone makes sense in a tv way and the powers are all being ripped from the xmen characters. This is a power that will require almost no special effects that has been used plenty of times before. I can't believe they haven't used it already

I know nothing, spoiler-wise about Peter, so I only have speculation: Someone used him. Mind control, hypnosis, illusions, or something, somehow, he was discovered by a evolved human, and that person used him for his or her benefit. Odds are, because of the necklace, it's one of the eight or nine people that Kaito Nakamura mentioned (Hiro's Dad). Of course, it wouldn't be Peter's mother, either, and I don't think it'll end up being volume 2's major villain, or else he wouldn't have been "let go." That's my guess.
Post by: MaryJane on September 26, 2007, 10:06:06 AM
I'm also against the theory that Hiro is actually the hero he read about, rather he's going to help that guy, and along the way further develop his own skills. My main reason for thinking this is that the guy is supposed to marry the swordsmith's daughter, if Hiro did that he'd have to stay in that time period, which obviously isn't going to happen.
Post by: that Baby guy on September 26, 2007, 01:34:05 PM
Interestingly enough, Hiro is the only character who isn't four months older when we last saw him. I just realized that. There's an episode coming up called "Four Months Ago." Might he travel back to from the past to four months ago?
Post by: mantidor on September 26, 2007, 03:41:48 PM
The rest is interesting, However I know they will leave a lot of questions, do a mediocre finale like last season in which they will solve them in stupid ways or will leave them open, but the show is full of beautiful people so I'll keep watching.
And I finally get the people who complain about the spoken japanese, because that spanish was so weird! at least they are making the effort, which is nice.
Post by: that Baby guy on September 26, 2007, 04:09:00 PM
I do agree, Hiro needs to actually do something. For once, his journey seems to the one that's pretty stagnant.
Keep in mind that this season will be two volumes. Essentially, they plan to cover two big stories this time. So, I suppose that means we get two finales. Maybe that'll boost what people think.

The only thing I noticed wrong with the spoken Japanese was that Hiro and the english dude understood each other perfectly although the english should have been using archaic Japanese. Although they did use different words for "my" or "I" when they were claiming the sword as their own, but still.
What else was wrong? Or has been wrong? And what was weird about the Spanish, I didn't notice anything there either.

The Angel of Death and Sins Forgiven twinz needs to go somewhere quickly or just get lost.
The Ma Patrelli attack scene had to be on of the lamest low budget scenes I would have never expected to see from such a ratings dominant special effects heavy show.
Its really good to see the Haitian back and its also relieving that we aren't gonna have a whole season of Peter trying to figure out who he is and living an alternate life till he does in the meantime storyline(or are we?).
My recording cut off right when Claire found the book in the drive way, so I have no idea what happened at the end of the episode, but I assume that where you see the peeping tom fly away like in the previews from last week. So if anyone cares to fill me in on what happened that would be appreciated.

Yeah the tewins better be related to the virus or they're pretty much useless. Although the guy twins powers could prove extremely useful if he can absorb death, or nullify any power.
I want to see the freaking boogie man already.
Edit: Weird as hell but I had 3 dreams last night, and in one of them that part in Heroes where the healer told the girl twin that what she carried inside of her was "enough to kill the devil". I didn't think of it during the dream, but afterwards it occured to me that she'll probably be the only one who can kill this boogie man we are still yet to see.

Even in fiction, time travel in the forward only direction is the only thing that seems workable to me.... slow it to a crawl, jump forward in leaps, but never backwards. That would make for a cool premise, IMO.
Post by: that Baby guy on October 08, 2007, 03:24:56 PM
I think after tonights episode, we have to wonder if Hiro has yet to be able to control the time aspect of his abilities. Did he choose to stay, or was he unable to leave, or could it be both?
As far as the picture of Mr. Bennet goes, I have a guess, but it could wind up being a huge spoiler: Claire is able to save him through her abilities. Maybe she donates a heart, a lung, a liver, an arm, or an eye is hard to say, but it could be what they're getting at.

Thanks...
I pretty sure he stayed because he likes the girl (after what she said, her reaction to the pink tree incident, and the follow up at the end there). If I were in his position, I'd be jumping back and forth in time to see exactly what I've screwed up or changed, cause he's really messing with it now.
That sword symbol is part of all of this though, so maybe he is the great antagonist... and Hiro's actions will actually work to try and turn him to good early??
As for the 8/8 picture... nice thought... kissing the boy goodbye b/c she's going to sacrifice... However, considering where he was shot, she'd have to be donating a brain, and not even she could pull that off
So who are the original 8?
And Sylar must of lost more than his power, that was a pretty stupid move to try that before healing completely and before getting a bit more intel about what was going on, etc.

He bumped into Ando at Kirby Plaza, right before he gave Kaito his paper, and he had just been in the hallway when Mrs. Petrelli found hers. Don't believe me? Re-watch it, it happens pretty early in the first episode, so you won't have to wait long. I forgot to mention that earlier, and some people might be interested, especially since there was no reason for Nathan to bump into Ando, and that he hadn't even been pictured on the show at that point in time.

Good episode last night, I would say the strongest so far this season. Parkman and Nathan worked well together and the Suresh scenes were very good as well. Kirsten Bell is always enjoyable to watch on screen and Yay for no wonder twins.
Hiro storyline still felt a bit weak. New Orleans is also yawn.
Post by: that Baby guy on October 23, 2007, 06:37:15 AM
It looks like Sylar will have some interesting interactions with the twins, though. I'm curious to see that.
Anyone else think the company is putting on a show for Suresh? I thought Nikki wouldn't have her powers from the virus, anyways.
Also, Matt is now at least telepathic. He can hear other's thoughts and broadcast his own to them, which is how he got Nathan out of his delusion/nightmare. So, does this mean that for once, the son inherited his father's abilities? Or are they still different?

Hiro is the worst character ever created in TV history. I hate him. So, so much.
Claire is just mind-numbingly awful. I've got no interest in her or her flying boyfriend.
Mohinder, Matt, and Molly (M^3?) just give me a weird vibe. Why is she living with two men unrelated to her or each other? And why is that apartment always so dark???
The story with the old heroes is moving so slowly that I don't even care about it.
blah blah blah
Did they even explain WHY Peter was supposed to blow up New York last season? All I remember is that Mrs. Petrelli was all for it, and Nathan was against it. Did they ever say why?

And I like the twins, in fact is probably the only thing I like of this season, besides molly and her two dads of course, those two are so married, its absolutely hilarious. I missed the wonder twins this last episode, but I didn't miss Claire and that horrible storyline , so all is even out.

I also can get a greater feel on how everything is pulling and tying together this season. It definitely feels like everything is going to meet somewhere and make sense.
The only problem I have with the show this season is they are going the LOST root of everybody being interconnected and that is just weird with a cast this huge...unless they explain their powers in such away that it isn't as random as genetics.

Post by: mantidor on November 06, 2007, 03:51:07 PM
I liked this episode and I can't wait for the twins to come back :P ok, honestly their story is boring, but so is everyone elses. What I like about Maya and Sylar is they are the only ones with "normal" reactions to these powers, I hate how everyone is traumatized because they can do things like flying, regenerating, reading minds or other really cool stuff. Maya is one of those very few mutants, like rogue, who actually has a reason to fear and not want their power, she probably killed her own family. And Sylar is something that would obviously happen, someone envious of powers that wants them because of an inferiority complex, its such damn obvious things but comics always fail to adress them, so I like to see them here.
Post by: that Baby guy on November 06, 2007, 04:34:10 PM
Then, of course, I want to know which abilities are related this way: Is flying a type of telekinesis, therefore part of the mental control powers? Are the muscle-mimicking powers and the ultra-memory powers on the same base? To that effect, how does super-strength fit in? Is it on the same branch as advanced muscle memory? What group does Molly's powers fit into? If I had to guess, it would probably be the same group as foresight.
Electricity would either be an aspect of telekinesis, or would be an aspect of transfering molecules, like DL's abilities. I think D.L.'s abilities are closest to Hiro's, honestly, so they may fall under the same branch.
Of course, Clair and Adam/Kensei have the same abilities, but we now know that they could develop the type of healing that Linderman possessed, too, since we know that the ability that initially manifests isn't the only ability possible. Anyways, if you didn't read the first question in the link I posted above, you should be at a loss to what I'm talking about, so get to work on that!

Anyways, because Sylar adapted himself to be telekinetic, he could potentially create illusions to the degree Candice did, read minds, trap people in their own nightmares, and telepathically send thoughts to others. Isn't it nice to know potential? Now we know Sylar has more potential than he knows he does, or else he would have known it would be unnecessary to kill Candice.

Telekinesis and telepathy are completely separate powers so having one does not give a person another. Matt's power makes so much sense to let him input thoughts as well that I doubt anyone else will unlock some power they didn't know. Since this is basically X-men look there for explanations, or what little there are.
The show is getting better now that everyone's story is starting to connect but the the the cliches are still getting to me. Matt somehow telepathically defeats his dad on his first time using his power, despite his dad's 30 years experience in mind raping, because he had the motivation of love. They also still need to explain how Sylar got into the middle of Mexico after escaping an island with a sword wound in his chest that should have definitely killed him.
Speaking of Sylar that guy is a wimp now. He was busy killing defenseless men, woman and children the first season, he wasn't fighting these new Heroes that could easily kill him even with his powers. Veronica Mars could easily kill him with lightning, Maury and Matt make Sylar look like a punk, he doesn't stand a chance against the wonder twins without a surprise attack, then theres a Hiro with actual control of his powers, the Hatian, and of course Peter who just keeps getting stronger. Since none of Sylar's jutsu would work against the black girl's sharingan there's another loss.
Post by: Shecky on November 12, 2007, 05:47:16 PM
Messed up story wise though... to many "you should know that" moments. Clair not putting together than her Dad might still be trying to take down the company like she knew he was doing ... and just not "thinking" in general for example.
Nathan's quote on "What's with everyone.... always half-truths, never a straight answer" is 100% accurate, and it wearing on me a bit. To much ducking, dodging, and weaving, that it becomes a chore to watch.... or care.
So Hiro is Luke Skywalker, and Adam is Darth Vader of sorts... they are this series main characters from what I can tell.

2) Does the Hatian's power even really work against Peter? Because we all know how unreliable (in general) his powers have been to him, he could have just been unable to use them at the time?
3) Maybe this is why Peter has a hard time using his powers when he wants?

Wait have you watched this season. That sums up all the other episodes for me but everything taking much much longer.
Though I seriously think this was actually originally written as the first episode for the season but they switched it so they could have that whole who am I Peter thing being more suspenseful and Adams reveal.
Post by: matt oz on November 19, 2007, 02:18:47 PM
First, Eden could make people do stuff just by talking to them.
Mama Petrelli can make people do stuff just by touching them.
Now, Matt can make people do stuff just by thinking it in their general direction.
This seems kind of repetitive, doesn't it?
Otherwise, tonight's episode was awesome. All it needed was less Hiro.
Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on November 19, 2007, 05:35:08 PM
But the ending just left me wanting more. And I agree about the Hiro comment. Why should we and the show slow down just so Hiro can catch up?
The spent a big chunk of the show on Hiro finding out what the rest of us had already known for about two weeks now. He should have just traveled back to 2 weeks ago and watched the episode with the rest of us.

At first, I thought "no way" because these episodes must have been filmed before the strike started. All along, chapter 2 was going to be episodes 1-11 and chapter 3 was going to be 12-23. But after watching the horrible dialogue of last night's episode, I'm convinced that a cameraman or a lighting person must have written the script.
Other stuff I didn't like: still not finding out definitively what the Petrelli parents' powers are, still not knowing wtf Maaaaiiijjjjaaaa and Monica have to do with anything, having Rose from 'Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead' die before we even got to see her kick someone's ass or even reveal what her power is.
In a way, I'm glad the rest of the season is delayed because maybe then Tim Kring will learn how to tell a story that has a decent payoff.

But do you think Maya's brother has some sort of healing capability and might surprise Sylar in the future?

It could be possible that they figure into chapter 3, but if that was the plan all along, then how did they ever think they could resolve everything else that has happened this season by next week? And if they were filler, then just add that to everything else this season that was filler, including Hiro's 8 week journey in feudal Japan that was so mind-numbingly boring I would actually change the channel.
If next week's "finale" sucks, then chapter 3's ratings are going to fall even lower, if there even is one.

But then again the way things have gone this season, like Candice actually being killed when they could have used her assumed death as a plot twist or something, but instead they killed her because they couldn't get Missy Peregrym who was her original season 1 actress, they killed her off instead. Candice is the kind of character than any actor/actress could play because of her power and killing her off completely was just in poor taste and planning.

Hiro: Adam kill my father and for that he must pay.
WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE SAID:
Hiro: Adam killed my father and is trying to kill the world, I've seen it
DETAILS!

I'm also kinda curious how Maya is gonna play into all of this. If she never learns to focus her power into one individual she will never be of any use unless they send her in on solo missions.

So who are the two that died? We have no proof yet that Niki, Nathan, or Adam is actually dead. We just know that they are on fire, shot, and buried alive, respectively.
If Volume Three doesn't come till next fall, I don't think I'll be watching. There's never enough payoff at the end.

Here's an interesting idea... Let's say Matt did lock Sylar in his own mind and Sylar did go around killing everyone. Ideally, Sylar "looks into" their brain to see how they work (the whole eating brain thing aside)... Would he still be able to obtain the powers of others if he's able to do it in his own mind? Couldn't he then kill Imaginary Matt, take his powers, then figure out something's not right and get out?
Dude, screw the writer's strike... I'll go write Heroes episodes for free.

With locks that on the door... and the foreknown knowledge that the virus is released that day... can you say put 2 and 2 together?? At least go in with him!!
Power of persuasion are useless on this show... people are bloody idiots to begin with.
They're also inconsistent in personality and motives.

Peter should also have DL's power to phase through walls, why not do that rather than rip the door off? I hate to admit it but House and Stargate Atlantis is having much better seasons.

I have only watched 20 minutes of house, never cared much for it, but Dexter on the other hand is an AMAZING show.

So nobody watches stargate then? lol

HA! That's hilarious. I'm sure the writers aren't that concerned about science

And it would be great if Heroes' writers cared about science or just didn't care at all. The really terrible thing is that the half-care, and so their pseudo-scientific babble is cringe worthy.

But nothing will match Dexter this year especially if the season finale is of the same quality as the rest of the season so far.
I'm just wondering what they are going to do for a 3rd season since there were only 2 books written that the show is based off of.
and to keep this related to heroes, the writers strike killed what could have been an interesting season by forcing them to cut the season in half and force the storyline ahead. Hopefully this is just a midseason break and they will finish the season strong in the spring after (if) the writers strike is over.
Also Dexter and Weeds might get retooled (read: neutered) for CBS to compensate for programming gaps due to the strike

Because you can explain scientifically why people can fly, stop time, go back to time, and recover from a bullet through the brain.

I do watch Atlantis, but only because they ended SG-1.
I also watch Dexter, Pushing Daisies, Eureka(currently on hiatus), Californication(currently on hiatus), It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia(currently on hiatus), and Torchwood(currently on hiatus).
Adam deserved what he got, that's all I have to say. Sylar is back to being a d!ck. Peter is fvcking naive (more like DURRRRR!) as always.

Precisely. Maybe I wasn't clear enough. So, writers, since it's clear your knowledge and awareness of real science is terrible please don't try to explain things because it only ruins it. I'm specifically talking about things like Sylar's power, leave it at "absorbing brains" or something, don't pretend that the powers are in the brain and you can study them there, it sounds even more illogical than the not-scientific explanation of the power. Not to mention the worst offender which is anything related to DNA and genetics, its like a third grader wrote those "scientific" parts. Just Don't. Do. It.
