I hope Sylar dies in the very near future, what an annoying punk.

Oh and we still don't know where that Dinosaur from the painting fits in with the Hiro storyline, how could they show something so cool that could happen and they never do show it.

Next week is the last episode for the second season, then we have to wait another year *sigh*.

They already showed when "Hiro met the dinosaur" about mid way through the season. Not as cool as I wanted to be but it makes more sense than "time travel". Never thought I'd see the day when any show makes me stop watching "24" but after this season being sorta sub-par (still the best show ever just not that good of a season) and "Heros" betraying my expectations in such a good way, I have made the switch. I just hope they change one of the shows time slots so I don't have to choose which one of my sons I love the most.

They showed Hiro and the Dinosaur. It happened in the museum when Hiro stole the replica blade.

Isn't this the last season of 24? I'm pretty sure you won't have to choose come next season.

Nope, Hiro and the Dinosaur didn't really happen, because the picture shows the blade fully drawn, whereas the event has Hiro draw a shamble of a fake sword that doesn't have a complete blade.

I don't think Hiro's dad has a power, considering he told Hiro that Hiro himself was the first one in the family to "ascend." My guess is that Mr. Nakamura may have supplied the initial cash monies to the outfit, and that, paired with some of his sword fighting abilities, gave him a pass through the superpower-check on the list. Perhaps he even put the whole Superfriends group together in the first place.

I think Linderman was lying when he said that Nathan's father was one of them, though, as the online graphic novel showed some of Linderman and Old Man Petrelli's exploits in Vietnam, and the resulting aftermath. In it, Linderman had an ability, but Petrelli didn't. They did become partners, but still, no reference to Mr. Petrelli having any sort of power was made.

Sorry, that was the painting.

From http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=9485 - an interview with the writers of Heroes.

Matt L. writes in with some praise, then takes you guys to task (gotta butter folks up before you give it to 'em, huh?). "Firstly, great episode this week. Anyway, I'll just get right to my question. In 'Godsend,' after Hiro swipes the fake sword, he ends up in a dinosaur exhibit. He sees a dinosaur statue, and whips out the "sword" and play fights with it. Is that, in fact, what Isaac painted? If so, that seems kind of like a cheat, but at the same time, you can't really have Hiro fighting dinosaurs in the past, what with the age old dilemma of changing history and all that. So, what's the deal?"

It seemed to look a lot like the painting, didn't it? But Cheat? Isaac drew Hiro with the sword facing a dinosaur. And in the next episode he's facing off against one in a museum.

I've read those before, and they've been pretty cryptic before. The fact that they didn't outright say that the event of Hiro drawing the sword to the dinosaur statue was the same event depicted in the painting, but rather mention the next episode, where Hiro "facing off against one in a museum." I think of it as them sidestepping the issue, as the metaphorical dinosaur was Hiro's father. Odds are they want to have Hiro fight a dinosaur at some point in the series, but they included the scene to somewhat satisfy viewers.

Caliban · « **Reply #257 on:** May 15, 2007, 04:34:03 PM »

They better make Hiro fight a living dino.

After listening to the tale of the swordsman and the dragon, I thought that the dragon was the dino of which was symbolized as his dad from the sword training scene.

They have a comic being made aside from the tv show? Huh, I better check that out.

MaryJane · « **Reply #258 on:** May 16, 2007, 12:57:05 PM »

Not really important by any means but I just thought it was interesting that after I beat Pokemon: Pearl, I noticed one of the map designers name is Hiro Nakamura.

The comic is located at here.

It usually updates on Tuesday, and I think it has every day since the show has premiered.

Ceric · « **Reply #260 on:** May 17, 2007, 12:19:03 PM »

I think that Hiros dad IS the Swordsman from the legends. It makes the most sense.

Ummmm... yeah.

Can some one tell me why they wouldn't take that gun and put the whole magazine in Sylar's head?

Nile Boogie · « **Reply #263 on:** May 21, 2007, 03:49:40 PM »

You mean after they thought he was dead? Don't know? I thought that it was pretty good. Not over the top OMFG!! awsome but really good none the less. "Company Man" is still the best episode of HEROES by far but, all in all, not bad for the first season. The DVDs can't get here fast enough. They had a lot of set up for the future and next season looks so good. Lets hope the writers can keep up the good work.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #264 on:** May 21, 2007, 03:58:50 PM »

I loved it. It was great. I need to fix that link, someone must have sabotaged it

Anyways, roaches dragged Sylar away while everyone was watching the sky...
I wonder what roaches want with Sylar...

Shecky · « **Reply #265 on:** May 21, 2007, 04:06:38 PM »

"You mean after they thought he was dead?" ... yes...

"Anyways, roaches dragged Sylar away while everyone was watching the sky" ... I think it was like more an invisible man...

Edit: And I liked the episode... cause it had an ending, which is exactly what I was looking for. The cliffhanger was more a preview to the next chapter.

JonLeung · « **Reply #266 on:** May 21, 2007, 04:12:44 PM »

Not to be a spoilsport but I thought this season finale was kind of weak, especially compared to some of the more story-laden previous episodes. It really felt like something was missing. And for a finale you'd think there'd be great action but the showdown was rather pathetic:

PUNCH. PUNCH. Hey, Matt. Gonna use your mind-reading to help out? You're just going to get shot? Fine, then. Oh, here comes Nikki/Jessica to slam a parking meter into Sylar. Oh, bye now, you have to take care of D.L. Oh, hi, here's Hiro, just for one stab that Sylar should've totally seen coming. Okay, bye, Hiro. Okay, Peter, do your thing. Use your multiple powers. No? You just want to punch? Okay. PUNCH. PUNCH. Hey, uh, oh, you've lost control of Ted's powers, which is really the whole focus of all this. Come on, Claire, shoot. Oh, you can't? Fine, then. Leave it to Nathan to save the day. Now shut up and fly away already.

Oh, NO ONE saw that Sylar's body is gone? Or if they did, they don't even seem the least bit concerned about it? WTF? And where's the evil Mrs. Petrelli? And is that supposed to be a cliffhanger? Oh, it's just the eclipse. At least it's not Galactus, but still...sheesh.

Wow, I sound really bitter. I guess I was hoping for more.

And I didn't mention this last week, but when Mr. Linderman was offering Nikki/Jessica the money, I was expecting him to say, all Howie Mandel-like, "D.L. or no D.L.?" It would be so dumb, but it almost seemed like it was being set up for that.

The only answer that truly matters will come from the question "who's face are we going to see behind the mask of that one lone samurai carrying that S flag", a.k.a. Kensei.

Watch, it'll probably end up being George Takei.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #269 on:** May 21, 2007, 05:10:27 PM »

I think it was George Takei. That's who I thought it looked like to me.

I like that D.L or no D.L. joke. It wouldn't fit with the show, but that's hilarious. Anyways, I agree with Shecky. The show concluded. Volume One is over, and everything that Volume One was focused on was answered. Volume Two ideas, as well as ideas from future seasons beyond that were hinted at throughout the season, but we knew that this wasn't important at the time, so I think most people never worried about it. I think it was great that there was an ending. That, and the idea that cockroaches may have been watching the whole time[/spoilers] impresses and intrigues me.

JonLeung, I hope not.

thatguy, I can see it right now..."ROACHMAN"!

The villain at the end of the Incredibles? Definitely. Anyways, yeah, I think they dragged him off.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #273 on:** May 21, 2007, 09:09:44 PM »

Good ending, I agree the final action scene should have been structured better.

So, since did Claire know that Peter would have survived the gunshot? Or is it a oneat a time thing? Since he was using the nuke power, he couldn't turn on the heal power?

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #274 on:** May 21, 2007, 09:50:54 PM »

Great finale, and I thought the fight scene fit with the show. This show is not your normal superhero, action packed series but a more "realistic" take on superheroes, so I would think an exciting, beat em up fight would have taken away from what has made the series unique. What I am most intrigued by is the man who the girl could not locate without him seeing her, sounded creepy
