The problem with Hiro and Charlie reminds me of the film "The Time Machine".
Alexander Hartdegen figures out how to travel through time, and attempts to save his girlfriend from a fatal robbery in the park. Unfortunately, no matter how many times he goes back and alters the course of events that lead to Emma's demise, something else equally tragic happens. If she's not shot by the mugger, then she's run over by a runaway steam-cart. So now matter what measures are taken, the lifelines of some people may well be finite, even across multiple versions of reality. The circumstances surrounding the death may change, but the outcomes might just be immutable. This does seem to contradict an eariler use of Hiro's power to prevent the bus from running over the girl with the yellow ribbon in her hair, though. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Also, The Time Machine was a terrible movie adaptaion of the classic H.G. Welles book I was speaking idiomatically. |

Isaac's paintings.
Most of them came true. There was also a brief shot of a painting he did of a car exploding, which was Ted (the guy with radiation hands escaping from FBI captivity.) Isaac did the Homecoming paintings in one night. Most of them came true. 2 stood out because it's vague or never came true. 1. First one is the one with Claire running away from Sylar's shadow. That is Sylar's shadow not Peter's because of the way the arms are trying to reach Claire in a creepy way. In the actual event, Peter was actually there too. I think the writers just wanted that painting to serve as an indication that Sylar is after Claire, with the cartoony shadow to convey it. And also not to give away any information that Peter was able to help her. Also in the actual event, it probably won't be believable if the cartoony shadow was still there. The painting is totally accurate, but it served its purpose. Also, in that vision that Isaac saw for this event, the shot of Claire running is a little different from the actual event too. Looks like they made her redo the shot for the later episode to include Peter. 2. The painting that never came true, was Hiro and Ando under the Homecoming banner. The only way they can save themselves with this is if they make those 2 go to the aftermath scene, which probably won't happen. Mr. Bennet Six months ago, he told Eden to get Claire of Chandra Suresh's list. Looks like she failed since Sylar was able to find Claire. Sylar So how does he "steal" people's power? They make him a fixer of watches.. and of brains too, but don't show how. Does he examine the other Hero and then does brain surgery on himself? If so, I didn't see any bandages or scars when he went back to Suresh the next day with telekinetic powers. Maybe after he got the telekinetic powers, he can alter his brain by just thinking about it, but how'd he do it in the first place? Maybe they just need a shot of him munching on some brains. That'll end the questions. Why did he need Claire in the first place? He was able to live from the shots of Matt's gun. Looks like he didn't need Claire's regen powers if he was moving just fine afterwards. Unless he wants to kill everyone until only he is left. Anyone notice this? But the first time we see Sylar, the actor looks totally different from who he is played by now. Before it was a middle-age white guy with a scruffy beard. Now it's a younger, bastard child of Brandon Routh and Lou Ferrigno. Most amazing jew boots |
Yeh maybe Hiro did teleport that way, but I like the parallel dimension thing watch Jet Li's 'The One' if you havent.
Those very definately large jars in Sylars cupboard though, all merky just like a pickle jar. ewwww No ideas on the true nature of the Haitians powers anyone?!?! Yeh I did notice a difference in Sylar apparence too, did look completely different. You know what, he said his father was a clock maker, maybe it is his father, he could have shape shifting abilities. It would explain also how he hid in the shadows in the locker room. There's nowhere I can't reach.

everyone knows Sylar's ultimate power is to make a semi-shadow around his form so that he looks mysterious and threatening to anyone that looks at him.
"Hey, need some coff--Holy shit!!! MYSTERIOUS AURA" How ya doing, buddy? |
Actually he looked just about the same, to me at least. It's amazing what dressing in all black will do for you.

I have a feeling it was someone messing things up before, but imdb earlier in the season had Sean Bean listed as the actor playing Sylar. It was feasible because he'd be an awesome fit for the role, but I also can't see him playing a role in a tv show like that. And I mostly want to smack The Furious One, because I can't understand half of what he says, and what I do understand mostly doesn't make any sense.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Or another thing, which is probably untrue but oddly ties in, her dad could have had Jackie's name put on the list instead. Of course, he knew nothing about Sylar at the time, but maybe he just needed some other scapegoat, I'm not sure. Though, what I don't understand is if he didn't want Saresh in on what he already knew (about the powers) why didn't he just have Eden wipe her complete memory? What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
First off, I think Sylar got his info from the trophy case/hero display in the hallway. He's seen peering into it shortly before he goes after them. Don't need to say the name if it's on the newspaper in the glass case.
I don't think Eden wipes memories - that's Haitian's place. Besides which, sending Eden to get Claire's name off the list might consist of something like that - we haven't seen what happens there yet (if we will at all, I don't think it's pertinent to the plot). Simply wiping a memory clean wouldn't preclude him from seeing it later and re-contacting all over again. And what do you mean by not wanting Saresh in on what he already knew? I don't think Saresh stumbled in on anything Claire's dad didn't want him to see/know, other than the fact that his daughter was one of them. FELIPE NO |
No speake de english
I'd smack me too, but I'd hit you back. lol should of reread that before hitting the post button. Yes Edan has power off persuasion, I agree the hiatian must be able to block people powers, and erase memories (like he was told to do with the college kid, but the suggestion was made he could create memories too). So this could be the end of Sylar then, Peter's short contact with him may of transferred some of that badness into him. I take it everyone noticed that Peter fixed his broken foot way after Claire had left. Regarding Mr Bennett and the Hiatian, I should of said he was his most important tool. Im hoping more of Mr Bennett's background we be revealed next episode. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
You're forgiven.
You'll also noticed that Peter drew himself walking off the ledge on top of the building well after he'd broken contact with Isaac earlier in the series. This leads me to believe that he keeps control of borrowed powers for a short period of time after breaking contact with someone. And I don't think he picks up any of the personality traits of those he comes in contact with, or else he would have been more reprehensible whenever in contact with Nathan. No, the most intriguing aspect of Peter for me at this point is the fact that he saw what happened to Nathan and his wife in the car while it happened, and that was either without the aid of an outside Hero (if that's what we want to call them) and therefore under his own power, or there was yet another Hero nearby with that power that we haven't been introduced to yet. I also don't think they can end Sylar simply because they'd be hard-pressed to come up with a better enemy, unless Claire's dad ends up being one. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Sylar cant tell that he is broken though can he.
I think because Peter is the loving one, he has deeper rooted emotions a stronger connection with his brother (as someone mentioned earlier) may of given him that ability, he was able to predict it, he just say it through his brothers eyes pretty much. He didnt know his father died, beacuse he hated him. How ya doing, buddy? |

That preview just made me want to see this next episode ten fold.
Everything is really starting to come together at this point, every hero has either met up with the others, or is about to in this episode, save Nikki, D.L. and Micha. It should be interesting to see how the cliffhanger of this episode is going to be, because all mid season finale's have a cliffhanger of course. I personally am hoping Nathan turns around here soon because while the whole "I know I have powers, but I'm denying it to the fullest extent" is a alright character trait, it is becoming tedious I think. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

To the Niki/Jessica part. Someone mentioned that Niki can channel Jessica's soul or something. But about her superhuman strenght? Has Niki two kind of powers?
Cant it be that its Jessica who can transfer to another body when the current "container" dies? Thats Jessica's power. And about the superhuman strenght, that can rip apart human bodies, I believe its Niki's power. It could be a possibility since, most of the heroes have only one kind of power ,not two. Not counting Sylar as he "steals" others' powers I was speaking idiomatically. |
That's a possible theory, but I'm pretty sure by now if Nikki had supernatural strength on her own, she would have discovered it accidently, like hauling those bodies around to dig would have been less stressful, or something to that extent. I'm not sure who is channeling who here, but it is common lore that spirits tend to be a lot stronger than their human counterparts, possessing a person wise so maybe the super strength comes from the fact Nikki keeps being possessed by a ghost, but I don't know. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I went back and watched the "Six Months Ago" episode again.
I'm still puzzling over how Sylar's powers actually work, in the sense that he was able to assimilate the abilities of others. It seems that he can sense when things are broken, then perhaps choose the best means to fix them. At its root, this is basically an innate understanding of how things function (Think of the X-Men's "Forge"). My thought is that he's somehow able to examine the brains of the "gifted", perceive what genetic code granted that particular power, then somehow alter his own DNA to match. Whether he can do this cleanly or if he needs to ingest/absorb part of the victim's brain remains to be determined. (And it's a very subtle thing the writers did with Sylar's backstory. Like a pocketwatch, he was able to somehow "see into" the telekinetic's brain and determine what made him...well, "tick". A rather sublime connection between Sylar's everyday life and his special ability.) However, this got me thinking about something. Sylar's not the only one like this. Although he shows it in a different manner, Micah also seemingly possesses the ability to innately understand the inner workings of many objects. Right now, he's focusing upon electronics, which isn't such a far cry from watch components, really. But what if Micah's ability to "fix" things is a lot more like Sylar's abilities than we're being led to understand right now? Is it so hard to believe that Micah, for all his prodigal intellect, couldn't examine a brain and determine what made its owner special? I'm just grasping at straws, really. But it's still conceivable at this point. That's what I like about this show: it makes you think a little, without being fed a hundred thousand red herrings like "Lost". FELIPE NO |
