There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I'm still not into Heroes, I never really have been, but I continue watching.
Am I the only one who thinks Kristen Bell looks the spitting image of the new Speed Woman hero. I was convinced they were the same actress/character until my friend IMDB'd it. He denies they look at all similar but to me they are practically identical! This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Tonight's episode was good, but it had quite a few holes and things that just bugged me in general.
Spoiler:
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I'll say something here because I had something here originally to move the spoiler, then I put it somewhere else.
Spoiler:
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Do we seriously need to use spoilers when discussing stuff that already aired? I mean, if everyone is reading spoilers as normal, what happens when someone needs to post an actual spoiler? Just saying.
Anyway, I thought the episode was pretty good for the most part, but I'm kinda pissed that they killed off The German. I thought he was the most interesting of the villains they introduced this season so far, but it seems they've set up this Knox guy as being the most important. Oh well. So far all the storylines seem good this season except for Parkman and Mohinder. Parkman's just seems so random and pointless at the moment, and Mohinder...yeah. Let's just say that this episode was probably so awesome because he wasn't in it. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
No one can do anything about this? I can't bother myself enough to make a suggestion in the board development section, though. I don't really care about being spoiled, but I'd rather live without it. FELIPE NO |

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? I didn't say I wouldn't go fishin' with the man.
All I'm sayin' is, if he comes near me, I'll put him in the wall. |

...they should have really elaborated on that, or at least stretched that out more than 5 seconds. If you can fix a watch you can understand anything. Right. Most amazing jew boots |
Apparently they've all just decided that plans are too much work this season.

Last night's episode was chock full of holes.
Sylar and Peter already have similar powers, but I assume Peter needs Sylar's power because it actually robs the victim of their ability, as opposed to just copying it. Still, isn't there an easier way of defeating this nameless foe (killing them, using the Haitian, etc.)? This is a middling complaint, but there was a scene where Suresh puts down his recorder, and we see it get dusty in the same spot as 4 years passes. This would work, except later we see Suresh using the recorder, which means he picked it up, and the time lapse shot didn't actually happen. Also, the healing ability seems inconsistent. It had been previously established that if there was something in a person's body as the cause of death, the person couldn't heal until that was removed (when the date-rape guy killed Claire in S1, she didn't wake up until the foreign body was removed). This season, Sylar was shot, and he seemed to eject the bullets from himself without assistance (granted, this could have been some other power of his, but he was dead, so no powers). Last night, Future Peter lay "dead" on the table. At first, I assumed the Haitian was inhibiting him, but then present Peter used his powers on Nathan, so that couldn't have been it. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
The difference with the healing was that Claire's stick wound and Peter's glass shard from S1 were in their brains, thus preventing the healing. Sylar was only shot in the chest this season so the healing forced the bullets out. Of course, this doesn't explain how a few shots to the chest managed to seemingly kill Future Peter for real, even after the Haitian had gone out of range.

I'm still wondering why Future Peter has a scar, when he can regen. None of this shit makes sense, and the more I watch it, the more I am inclined to believe that it isn't supposed to make sense. People are time traveling and seeing the future every five seconds, so virtually no event in the entire series is actually important, because the writers can just nullify it with time travel. Apparently no one can die either, as they'll just come back as somebody's twin. I just watch to see what convoluted, silly thing they throw out there next.

Future Peters always have facial scars. They keep them as reminders of some mistake that screwed up the world as well as the +2 it gives to Badassery.
FELIPE NO |
Seriously though. The series is getting way too hokey for me - specifically because Hiro's time manipulation power is too fucking problematic. As cool as it may be, it just makes Hiro and Peter seem like absolute idiots. Somebody tell me why Peter didn't stop time when Sylar was about to explode. Somebody tell me why Hiro didn't go back in time 5 minutes before Daphne stole the half of the formula. Stupid. They should have just initially allowed him to maybe only slow time and teleport, or at least put some limitations on his powers. Hell, even if they waited until the series got stale (not that it isn't starting to), they could have made some huge final season revolving around Hiro and training to learn his true powers. They could have had a season finale where Hiro finally goes back in time and corrects everything, revisiting key moments in previous seasons and righting them. I swear I should be a god damn writer. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I think the only thing that would temporarily stop healing powers is something stuck in the head, like Claire with the twig in her head. After that's pulled out, I'm thinking the healing powers work involuntarily.
In the case of Peter, he usually has to think about his powers to use them (like how Claude taught his ass.. or didn't.. ) But I also think that his body can use powers involuntarily if the power is active near him, like how time freezes for him when someone else does it. So when Peter had that glass shard in his head from the previous season, he was healed by having that removed and having Claire next by him. So in yesterday's ep, my theory of why Peter didn't heal is because he's too dead to think about his powers and that Claire's involuntary healing powers were subdued by the Haitian. Aww fuck it, it doesn't explain why Present Peter couldn't heal him either. Maybe it has to be someone with the original powers or some shit. Daphne with Parkman? I just dont see it.. What next? Elle with Sylar? I can't remember, but don't remember Maya speaking English perfectly in the previous season. Her dialogue yesterday was odd. Please die with Mohinder. I don't understand why Peter needs Sylar's power. To understand what? Why does he have the hunger if he can empath the powers from the people? Shit don't make sense. And when the hell is Hiro suppose to learn to speak fluid English? His future self spoke english like a badass. His non-japanese scenes are getting annoying as hell. This whole future is bad, go back in time to save it thing is getting old. Especially if doing so isn't going to make a difference if it's gonna get fucked up again anyways. I wonder how many times they're gonna re-use this "4 years in the future" idea. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
eprox1, you're right. People lose their powers because Sylar kills them; Claire is the only one to survive. This takes me back to what I thought through all of last night's episode: Why does Peter need Sylar's power when he can already do basically the same thing? There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I'm about sick of Peter's overpowered ass, with his stupid mouth that makes him look like he had a stroke every time he talks. I liked him a lot better when he could only do things around certain people.

Peter doesn't need to steal peoples' powers from them, obviously. What he does apparently require is the ability to study a subject and analyze its inner workings. How this will play out, who can say? I suspect the "hunger" was written into this season to allow for a bit of role-reversal in which Sylar slowly becomes the valiant savior and Peter slowly steps down the path of corruption. In that light, it seems fair that there's going to be a lot of role-reversals down the path. What I don't understand is that Peter can heal, and is ostensibly immortal due to having been around both Claire and Adam Monroe. Thus, why doesn't Peter let Sylar have his ability? Peter would regenerate and Sylar would have a method of acquiring a person's ability (and therein understanding it) without having to kill people for it. Of course, that's a much-too-easy and clean solution, so it'll never happen. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Man, I love Sylar. He just gets better with each season. He's terrific as a villain, and hilarious when he's not being so murderous. I hope he and Peter remain opposed long enough for them to have an awesome battle (as hinted in season 1 in the future) before he starts being a good guy.
I do like these "in the future" segments since it allows people to act in what would otherwise be out of character, but I feel it's getting a bit tired. Is every season going to have a "in the future" segment? It's also strange why future Peter seems to be consistent in all the future scenarios, despite the fact that, so far, all these crises seem to have been averted. I got a little worried at the end of the last episode. Spoiler:
How ya doing, buddy? |
Tonights episode was all over the place, it seems they just keep jumping around throwing new plot devices everywhere they went. Not that I am complaining, its nice to see stuff happen each episode instead of it being drawn out episode after episode like Lost.

Knighthawk, if you're going to spoil future episodes then please mark your spoilers as such.
Spoiler:
Most amazing jew boots |
the end for episode five wasn't that surprising since the whole family since to be involved with the "special people". Only mystery is, what the hell is his power and what the hell is he planning?
Also, the whole Parkman path and his vision of the future was completely useless the way I see it. Spoiler:
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? New Record! |
An edgeseater episode for me. This just keeps getting better and better. I don't mean story quality, it's just goddamn awesome. I feel like a kid again when watching this show.
Parkman useless? I mean, he hasn't recently been seen in many of the future scenarios, and when he was, he'd be dead. In Africa, I think his powers of self-control (and therefore mind control) are improving slowly into something larger that will be shown in a later episode. ;) I don't know why people even bother finding plot holes, let alone whine about them. In shows like this and Lost they're not the main point. Some people just don't want to recognize this as high-production-value nonsense-entertainment? Jam it back in, in the dark. |
