[Movie] Heroes Season Two Discussion

I did not like this episode at all. As has been for all the episodes this season, the dialog with Claire's scenes is just atrocious and, this week, that's where most of the airtime went. Peter's scenes are generally the most redeemable (this week was no exception for me), but even those weren't really impressive.

Spoiler:

One thing that came off as very surprising was how Candice let herself be taken out by a powerless Sylar. All she had to do is not be where he saw her, but, knowing his serial killing tendencies, she let her guard down. And then there's the whole question of where the hell he is, but I can't imagine them not revealing that next episode.

All in all, pretty weak.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Spoiler:

I originally thought it was possible that Candice had in fact not been killed, but she returns to her natural (fat) form after Syler "kills" her. While I admit it's possible she made the illusion of her being killed and returning to her fat form, it seems awfully contrived.

I'm fairly certain Candice is dead.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

In my mind, Nathan always was the most interesting character. That hasn't changed this season.

I enjoyed the last episode of heroes by far the most. I'm not sure whether that's a result of something actually happening, or the show not containing any scenes involving Claire's angsty teen romance. The preview also left me with high hopes for next week. It seems like the beginning of the season was merely introducing us to the situations the heroes found themselves in 5 months after the blast, but now the show is starting to actually have some plot.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Wow. That episode was horrible. Whoever they have writing dialog for the show needs to be shot. There weren't many scenes that I could watch and avoid cringing. Without a clear bad guy, the show just seems pointless and with no plot direction. The scenes with Hiro in the past, all of Claire's scenes, and Mica's cousin's scenes are all pretty huge disappointments.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm betting that Hiro "is" the Kensei of the stories. And the "Kensei" that is the white dude in the past, will turn out to be the mastermind of "The Company" or at least some organization. I also think that he is still alive in the current modern timeline. A great example is how Hiro's dad died. Whatever dude pushed him off the building could either fly or heal like Claire. It'd make perfect sense.

You be straight ballin'.

This episode actually didn't suck. It might have had something to do with the plot actually moving forward for once. The past storyline might actually be redeemable if Kensei turns out to be a total badass in the present.

I was speaking idiomatically.
