Anyone else like/watch?

Claire's a bit of a drama queen but I love her :D I also quite like Peter and Nathan Petrelli. But, if you want to know my favorite character, I have to say Hiro and his friend (can't think of his name for some reason!)

"Greato Scotto!" I about pee my pants every time Hiro says that xD

His name is Ando.

I really liked Season 1, then Season 2 i was just like no fuck that.

Milo Ventimiglia is quite possibly one of the sexiest men ever though:

I rewatched seasons one and two over the last few weeks in preparation for season three. I missed season one when it happened, but caught up with it on DVD. I'm very excited for season three, because, at least according to Tim Kring, they learned from the mistakes they made during season two.

@Moon Rabbits: YES HE IS VERY SEXY :D

And now that you mentioned Ando's name, I can't believe I forgot it xD

@Kiro: I KNOW! Season 2 was too short and fast for me, and it lacked pizazz. I kinda felt like Mya was just randomly thrown in there...like "oh, we need a side-story for Dr. Vesh...here, we'll just come up with something off the top of our heads and call it a day."Though, I do rather like her power, even though it's rather menacing.

I AM SO PUMPED FOR SEASON 3! I saw a teaser that was leaked on surfthechannel and even though it was hard to see and the sound quality sucked (it was taken via cell phone cam in a dark theater with several hundred people in it and they all SCREAMED when Hiro came on screen -.o), from what I could see/hear...It seems awesome =D Claire pulls a gun on Peter! And she's brunette! :eek:

Season one is awesome, but season two really blew. I'm cautiously optimistic about season three, but thats only because season two was such a downer. I hope they can find the spark that made season one so great.

My wife's a <i>Heroes</i> nut, thus I have watched them all. I enjoy the show, and just like everyone else I'm hoping season three is more like season one than season two.

I'm really excited for it to come back :jess: 2 definitely wasn't the bee's knees. But I didn't hate it or anything, really. Then again, I don't hate Claire's Peter Pan boyfriend either, so clearly my hate-radar is pretty off. I will be optimistic about season 3. Kristen Bell, zap zap zap...

I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and say that series two was somewhat disappointing compared to the first. I find Heroes watchable, but I don't really think it's brilliant. I enjoy watching it but could live without it, I'm sure. I will watch the third series but I've not really thought about it up until now.

Roogle
09-12-2008, 07:34 PM
I have to admit that I enjoyed the original concept of Heroes better than what it turned out to be. Originally, the show was supposed to feature an ensemble cast from season to season with a revolving door type of storyline. Instead, the characters of the first season proved to be popular enough to carry the entire series; additionally, the character of Sylar was only intended to be a minor villain rather than a major villain.

Del Murder

I agree with Roogle. Still, it's a good show and I'll still watch it. It could have been a revolutionary show but it ended up being a good show.

It was 2 hours, I just didn't check my guide past 9-10 :jess: Whoops.

Anyway. I thought it was okay. Had its moments, but nothing spectacular. It's nice they addressed the time issue, but I can still never shake the feeling this show can take back anything it wants. But, you know, world in danger, lots of angst, Sylar being all villainous. Formula...

well i didnt see the last bit coming...

...no seriously i didnt! had a lot of (good) wtf moments this one...liked the second hour better, didnt like the parkman segment, while it was interesting, Suresh..still quite frankly pisses me off with his presence (atleast Maya wasnt as annoying)..aww and i didnt like Hiro not trusting Ando, they are pretty cool though..and Nikki? (or whatever her other name is) someone brought up that it could actually be Jessica.what with her ice powers (ice queen, should have seen that coming)..sorta iffy about the villians plot but i guess i'll like it in time lol...and im glad Elle is still alive and Sylar remains to be awesome lol!

Good start

hehehe weevil...im glad Francis Capra and Linderman (wtf) and Claire's momma (coool) are all in the mix lol!

alright i really liked it.....seeing everyone together lol!

Oh.my.god. Yes. xDDD! Milo was the first reason why I watched Heroes. I fell for him watching a random Gilmore Girls episode, and loved him ever since.

Anyways, Peter is my absolute favorite. I love Hiro, and Claire's alright. But I'm a Peter fan. :D

Madame Adequate
10-03-2008, 07:06 PM
Trying too hard this season. Throwing in pointless/nonsensical twists, getting more brutal and edgy (scene where Sylar takes Claire's power) for no reason other than to be brutal and edgy, Mohinder being really... not like I remember Mohinder.

I'll still watch because it's still fun, but it's not going to be anything special.

The only thing I agree with there is that Sylar shouldn't have been continued. I mean, it does make it easier to have a recurring villain (just don't make him campy or super-villainy), but they could have killed him and create a new one. I personally feel that the've made Sylar too powerful this season -- if they don't incapacitate him or make him a 'good guy'....ugh

LunarWeaver
10-04-2008, 05:48 AM
I always thought Sylar was boring myself. For most of the show he's done the same thing over and over and neither his backstory or personality are terribly compelling. What they're doing with him now isn't all that interesting either. If I had my way, he would go away forever and Elle would replace him as a super bitch villain. But that's not happening, especially now that Sylar did the whole Claire bit, not to mention Kristen Bell having 5 movies coming up.

Miriel

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks this! Hiro was one of my favorites and now I just want to slap him, he's annoying me so much.

The storyline with Syler is idiotic. There is not a chance in hell that Bennett would work side by side with Syler EVEN IF innocent people were in danger. Syler turning into a good guy, only to become super evil again might be a good storyline. But the way they're doing it is so freakin' stupid, it's so hard to watch.

Hiro is pretty much turning into the cute little mascot of the series, sort of like Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. That's a bit disappointing, imo.

Fix'd.

I love Heroes. I don't care that the storylines are getting stupid. I still love it. But what in god's name has happened to Mohinder? :whaaa: Ugh, Maya sucks, anyway.

I still love Sylar too! I just wish they'd do something better with him.

Claire's bio-mother > her adoptive mother, by a million miles. Claire needed to be taken down a peg or two, but now it looks like she's gonna take her turn at the mind numbingly stupid anyway, but never mind. I still love her. :D

PETER PETRELLI FOR LIFE.

Oh, and am I the only one who's fed up of Ali Larter playing a different character every season? :rolleyes2

Actors or Characters?

Anyway, I've been waiting for Bob to die for a long time, and I'm actually quite happy with the direction the story is treading in so far. It's obvious that Mohinder is becoming The Fly, but Claire seriously needs to become Wolverine. She doesn't actually need the claws, but some metal grafted to her bones would make her a serious badass, imho. She'd be even better than Wolverine since wolf-boy can still feel the pain of his claws coming out of his knuckles. Claire wouldn't even feel the operation so she wouldn't need anaesthesia or pain killers. I think it would be awesome if Sylar could overcome his power-lust and redeem himself by goodying up. But chances of that are slim at best, likely the previews we've been getting so far are of a season-long tease that will make us hope he'll be a benevolent badass like that "Armada crap with Starscream (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformers_Armada)" only to have the bridge blasted from beneath.

It is considered a taboo though. No one likes someone dating someone else under the legal age of consent. In fact (disclaimer: not really a fact), there are rare cases where people are arrested for suspicion of sexual conduct without having any basis for the accusation.

For all the random "wtf, that makes no sense" moments in the last episode, I was actually entertained by it. Claire is cringe worthy as a villain. So soooo bad. Sucks that the most annoying character is the one who literally cannot die. I actually really liked the interaction between Syler and Peter. Mama Petrelli is really starting to grate.

I'm finally caught up. xP I watched all of Season 2 and what's been shown of Season 3.

Ok, several characters either need to be seriously nerfed or killed.

Peter. He's too freaking powerful. He can control time itself and never die. Come on. There's no reason anything going on has to actually be a conflict. He can just go back in time and, like, abort everyone if he wants. Plus, he reminds me of Keanu Reeves. I keep expecting him to go "Whoah" at random intervals.

Hiro needs to get his time travel powers just taken away. Promising not to go back in time isn't good enough. There's no reason he can't just rewind time a few seconds every time something bad happens. That wouldn't really hurt anything. Using knowledge of the present to change the immediate past is a lot less fucked up than using knowledge of the distant future to change the present. Speaking of traveling to the future, that's getting annoying. It already happened in the first season, then in the second season, and now again in the third season. It's tired. Let it go.

Sylar was this big scary monster in season 1 and now he's a pussy. This is not cool. There's no reason for him to be there if people aren't <img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /><img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /><img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /><img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" />baked about him, especially now that he's pretty much invincible.

Those are the guys that are testing the limits of my suspension of disbelief. :P I don't mind the little things, like Future Sylar just happening to have an art easel right next to him at the perfect time. :P It's just that some of these characters are seriously too powerful and anyone with an ounce of sense would be able to use their powers to save the world in like a minute.

No words can describe how much I HATE HATE HATE the way they smurf with time on this show. It's one thing to create bizarre rules of time and then stick to it, but I don't even think that they know what their own rules are anymore.




Lies. You pretty blatantly implied that accusation.

Oh did I? Wow, cause even the idea of rape didn't (NOT ONCE) cross my mind when I made my posts about their relationship. Yeah, they were probably smurfing before she turned 18. Hell, if I were 17 and I could be doing Milo Ventimiglia, I would. That has nothing to do with why I think they're creepy together. And I think any normal person would infer that whatever I thought about their relationship, creepy or otherwise, my posts make it clear that it's pretty insignificant and NOT A BIG DEAL. And you shouldn't get so worked up over it and try to be all drama-rama by making it into something it's not.

And you know what? I think your fixation on a throwaway comment is kinda strange too. Hey, how about this. I think Spencer and Heidi are the creepiest smurfing couple in the Universe. You wanna jump all over that comment too?

That was all you. You might think it's throwaway but I don't see how "That is seriously creepy" doesn't border on a serious accusation. Also I can turn it right back around on you, because if it really wasn't a big deal you'd have told me so once and then ignored me :monster: Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

I don't get why Peter had to take Sylar's power. He was basically told "if you take my power, you will hunger to kill people like I did" but for some reason its the key to saving the world so he has to?

I also don't get why he didn't automatically have Sylar's power after being around him like he did with everyone else's powers.

Ando isn't dead for good. xP Hiro's going to go back in time to save him once he has all the information he needs. That's my guess, anyway. He's not going to just kill Ando because he was told to. xD

Peter's power is to use the powers of people he meets. He's always taken the powers of people without knowing, though, so it's pretty weird that Sylar had to give his to him. :P

This is why he's such a cheap character. He is like a god.

10-14-2008, 10:28 PM
Oh, I dunno. I think D.L. was important enough while he was alive, and last season his niece had a big enough role. (Whatever happened to her, anyway? Or Mikah for that matter?)

I think Maya is fine doing what she's doing. Last season she was there to give Sylar a potential victim. She's probably better now that she's with Mohinder. She never wanted her powers and wants to get rid of them because she considers them a curse, so she stays with him in hopes to find a cure. On the other end, there's Mohinder (who is also a visible minority, remember), who considers powers a blessing. Now he's finding them to be a curse, much like Maya. I think they work pretty well together. He needs someone there to watch him as he goes crazy. :P

Wasn't impressed with this episode. They're just trying to throw as much ridiculous crap as they can around in order to get people paying attention. Aside from the Linderman revelation, nothing much meaty happened.

I see what they're trying to do with the whole "Heroes and Villains" thing but it's generally being done hamfisted. Peter, especially. However the Sylar stuff is still pretty interesting, though I suspect that's more due to Quinto than the writers.

I've actually liked the past two episodes quite a bit. They are trying pretty hard, but it's keeping my interest. I mostly watch Heroes because it follows Chuck anyway. Chuck is a far superior show by the way :bigsmile:

I don't understand why Peter didn't automatically get Sylar's power either, but I'm glad he did myself. He's going bananas now and that takes him out from the group more. Maybe now they can't rely on him so much. I've grown to like the Sylar situation. Claire seemed to go from hating him a lot to not hating him all that much pretty fast.

Hiro killing Ando was strange. I had to do something else during a few of his scenes too, and I missed why he wanted to join this group so bad he'd do that goddamnit. But, yeah, he'll fix it at some point, but still... When you see Ando acquiring powers and fighting you in the future, you're probably going to fulfill that prophecy by destroying his trust completely.

Micah won't be in the show now? :( I liked him.

Oh, I dunno. I think D.L. was important enough while he was alive, and last season his niece had a big enough role. (Whatever happened to her, anyway? Or Mikah for that matter?)

Regardless, the Niki, DL, and Micah storyline was kept in the background of the series for its entire duration and was hardly a focal point of the series from the writers.

You say that they had a big enough role, but the fact is that nobody else seemed to think so because Micah and Monica were written off without even an acknowledgement to the audience. Dana Davis, the actress for Monica, even guest starred in an early episode this season and her scenes were cut from the show in production.

I am not saying that the lack of development behind Latino and black characters is intentional, but it comes in rather poor taste when the show was advertised to have such a diverse cast before its premiere. There is a saying about this show that goes like, "If you're black, you ain't coming back!" and it's mostly true aside from The Haitian, who only appears every few episodes taking orders from someone.

At this point, I am guessing that Maya will not survive this season for whatever reason.

Something I didn't get from the last episode:

I'm pretty sure Sylar picked up all of the abilities of all the murder victims in the first season. Even so, we see him do things which confirm it -- he liquifies solid objects in front of Mohinder and he was visibly annoyed by Dale Smither's super hearing powers.

Now, this last point I'd like to address. It seems like Sylar actually understands the power so much that he has better use of those abilities than the host. So why was he not able to hear Noah talk to the Canfield (Vortex person)? We see the camera shift to Sylar's perspective and he was not able to hear anything.

I am able to suspend disbelief for the purposes of plot, but at the same time, it bugged me enough to post it, so bleh.

I thought Sylar did hear them and was playing dumb. Later, in the car, Sylar mentions Noah's plot when he's trying to persuade Claire about her Dad. Noah has a look of, "Oh crap, you heard that?" They never spoke of the situation in front of Sylar so either: A) Sylar heard what was going on and played dumb in case he could use it to his advantage or B) Claire and Noah mentioned something about it in front of Sylar between the carousel and when we cut to them in the car which we didn't see.

Taken from Heroeswiki:

According to a response in the Sept. 30, 2008 Behind the Eclipse CBR Q&A, Sylar lost the previous abilities he had gained, except for intuitive aptitude and telekinesis, due to his exposure to the Shanti virus and had to start over in gaining other abilities. The lost abilities would include freezing, enhanced memory, melting, enhanced hearing, precognition, and induced radioactivity. However, Sylar was able to use induced radioactivity and precognition in a possible future (I Am Become Death). In a response in the Oct. 13, 2008 Behind the Eclipse CBR Q&A, it was clarified that Sylar reacquired those powers during the time period inbetween the present and the future shown in the episode.

What I saw last night was pretty clever he didn't kill Ando after all and with Hiro trying to catch the African fortune teller was funny. I also liked that puppetmaster guy I just they gave him a little more time because he has the potential to be a classic villain. I'm mad I didn't think of him myself.

The first time we saw the death scene, one of the first things that ran through my mind was that Hiro had stopped time, and had time to plan some shenanigans to fake the killing. But then I thought, "nah... that's too lame even for Heroes."

Hahaha, but would ya look at that. Even though I thought the "killing" was lame, I gave Heroes credit for having some balls. Lame ass balls, but still balls. I don't think you can get much cheesier than the cop-out they gave for Ando's death.

Roto13
10-21-2008, 08:12 PM
Ando dying last episode really didn't need to happen because it was pretty obvious that Hiro wasn't actually going to kill him. xP At least they didn't drag the explanation out too long, like they were actually building any suspense. :P

The part with the Russian Roulette was also really predictable. It's like "O NOES! One person is going to get shot! I wonder who it could be?" Of course it was going to be the invincible girl. :P It was entertaining, though.

Peter isn't a god character any more. :o That's like the best thing that could possibly happen to him. I was thinking he'd either need to be nerfed or killed off. Looks like they decided to nerf him. Though I'm pretty sick of this recurring theme of stealing people's powers. Just let it go already.

I think this episode was pretty good, all things considered. :P It gives me hope that they might actually fix things.

Rantz
10-21-2008, 11:01 PM
Yes, I think the theft of Peter's powers is mostly a good thing. Of course, Arthur Petrelli is going to have some pretty stupid moments, since he's got all those powers, but I still think it's better that they belong to a villain—assuming he is—than a "hero". That being said, the recurring "are they heroes or villains?" thing is getting pretty tired. Most of the time it feels like the show is just repeating itself.

Lunar made a good point in my user notes. :P Why did Daphne freeze when Hiro stopped time to not kill Ando? She didn't freeze that other time he stopped time.

On that thought, does everything around Daphne stop whenever Hiro freezes time anywhere in the world? :P

Del Murder
10-25-2008, 03:29 AM
Well one theory behind a freeze time ability is that the person doesn't stop time they just slow it way down. This has been used in other media before. When she uses her ability she goes so fast that to Hiro it appears that she is moving in normal time. When she isn't using her ability she is moving at normal speed and subject to Hiro's ability. Not all the characters use their ability all the time, so she probably just wasn't using it then.

I am saddened by what happened to Adam Monroe. :( He was one of the more likable characters even if he was a villain.

It really bugs me that this show can do whatever they want without regard to continuity. And nobody cares because the masses are all like omg heroes. The show started off so well with a good concept and then settled into this predictable pattern of some new godlike villain and some doomsday scenario that the heroes must stop. And this isn't going to end any time soon because it's actually what John Q. Public wants to see.

I've got you beat. I didn't realize Arthur's powers until he did it to Peter. When Arthur did it to Adam, I seriously thought "Good gosh, did they really just rip that straight from The Mummy?" I thought sucking away Adam's life from him completed Arthur's body or something.

Necron
10-25-2008, 03:05 PM
Yeah, i think i realized a few hours AFTER everyone else. =P.

There is something that is confusing me however (if it's been covered in this thread already, sorry, i haven't read the previous 7 pages). Angela is in this sort of 'paralysis' thing right? So, does this mean that:

1. Arthur Petrelli spoke to her in the future (which she dreamt), making her paralyzed.
2. Matt's Dad (forever forgetting his name), made Arthur appear before her, and sent her cuckoo.
3. (This is a long shot) Doyle is somehow involved.

However, knowing my bad speculating, this is all probably wrong. (My speculation of Tracy was that Nikki survived the explosion because Tracy made her freeze herself. - turned out quite wrong.)

I guess without his powers, Adam turned into a centuries-old person and centuries-old people are skeletons. xP

I don't really like Peter, either. I think I mentioned it earlier in the thread.

*looks*


Plus, he reminds me of Keanu Reeves. I keep expecting him to go "Whoah" at random intervals.

Looking back, that doesn't really show how much I hate Peter.

I seriously hate Peter and when I realized he was more or less the main character I was really disappointed back in season 1, even before he turned into a god. xD But apparently he has his fans so I've resigned myself to the fact that he's not dying any time soon.

That fact actually scares me, though, because it means he's more likely to get his powers back and turn into a god character again.

We don't know that Peter will get that scar now, since his future self altered the past leading to his scar.

D= What they did to Adam was horrible! Anyway.

Do you think Matt telling Daphne about their future is going to make her avoid that at all costs, or do you think she'll work towards that future anyway?

And what's with Mohinder? Is he some spider thing now or something? Are the people in that icky goo web thing dead or alive?

Didn't the man that was in the web open his eyes when Maya looked at him? I don't remember.

And about Arthur having Sylar's hunger, i think they'll just dismiss it. It's obvious they're trying to make Arthur look like this whole 'all powerful' man, so giving him Sylar's power would just weaken the whole look.

Decent episode. I really don't like how they sweep everything under the mat when they are done with it. Found some even badder villain than Adam and Maury, the main two from season 2? Ok let's kill them off without much buildup or thought. Ali Larter is signed on for season 3 but we don't feel like continuing her storyline? Let's make her a twin and completely forget about it.

There's more examples but I don't want to go through it all. I was talking about this with Miriel and she came up with the best analogy. The writers of this show are like a bunch of teenagers who like comic books and decide to write their own. They throw in whatever they think is cool and dismiss whatever they don't, without any consideration to character or story development. It makes for interesting TV but it certainly isn't good TV.

Still it must have some kind of appeal because I'm still watching it.

I bet if anyone started watching this show in this season and then went back to season 1 it wouldn't make a lick of sense.

Hiro either undoes everything or saves the day. We see a hint of Sylar not being evil, but I have no idea how that plays out.

Anywho, I don't understand how the spirit walk guy got killed. You'd think with his power that he would have seen it coming and gotten them out of there or something.

I'm not sure how those people's powers work. Does he know the future or just whatever he paints? Angela can dream the future but never foresaw Arthur's treatment of her in the flashback.

Also Hiro losing his powers? This is getting more and more unusual. My working conclusion is that this is all part of some master plan of Usutu's just as Issac knew that Gabriel kililng him wouldn't accomplish anything.

Alternatively, there may have been nothing Usutu could have done. He may know the future but you still have to defend against somebody with Arthur's powers. That's nigh impossible.

The only really good thing in that episode was getting a proper example of Arthur's powers, and when Linderman healed Angela's brain. Otherwise it was pretty bad, I felt.

Still better than the worst of Season 2 though, by a good way.

A better episode, but I don't like this whole eclipse business. It's a different direction which is what the show needs but I don't like how these powers can be given and taken away like nothing. Oh well.

Characters I like at the moment: Sylar, Elle, Noah (not even in this episode :mad:), Hiro when he isn't being a douche or a 10 year old, Ando, Nathan.

All the rest of them need to die, especially Claire and every character that was added this season.

I'm having problems figuring out what's happening here. Did Arthur use Maury's powers to mess with Hiro's mind? And why wouldn't he take his powers? Also Wikipedia mentions that both parties (Angela and Arthur) know Claire is the catalyst -- when does Arthur mention this? Was it when he mentioned Kaito's name (but not explicitly stating anything?)

I tried re-watching it but it didn't help =)

Arthur probably knows that Kaito hid Claire with the Bennetts and did so because she was the 'catalyst'.

Lol, you guys are making this show a LOT more complicated then it really is. So far, I have absolutely no problem following it. Of course their questions to be answered. But I'm patient enough to let them continue instead of going into a mental overload.

So far, I think everything fits nicely. Although I have to admit that they get rid of characters WAY TOO quickly, that's about the only problem I see. I like all three season so far. So, it's only a matter of time to see if things are gonna get better or worse.

Worst episode of the season.

Promptly followed by the best episode of the season. That was even better than most of Season 1, and would probably have been an absolute classic of TV if it had come in the middle of a disciplined, on-track show.

The only real thing that bugged me here was the Hiro stuff, but Hiro's been annoying for a long time anyway. And one thing that confuses me: I thought 9th Wonder was done by Isaac? He died a long time ago, in continuity, and even in the unlikely event that he did comics this far ahead of time AFAIK he died when the Linderman nuking NYC plot was still going on. So how's 9th Wonder got this stuff in it?

Interesting to see Hiro manipulate people in frozen time. I don't recall him doing that before and I was unsure of if it was possible and how it might work. Seems very simple!

Sylar + Elle stuff was awesome. Every Petrelli was awesome. Daphne's finally losing her all-consuming fear. Claire did not annoy me. Would have been better if Hiro and Ando had been out of the episode, partly because their stuff made little sense and partly because theirs was the weakest part, but otherwise that was pretty Grade A.

I liked this episode. I didn't find last week's bad either, though.

Last week's TV guide said the two coexecutive producers were fired. The article stated they were axed after the pair continuously ignored Kring's attempts to steer the show into cleaner storytelling and return to character-driven plots like the first season's, even after the ratings started to plummet. Interesting to see how the rest of the season turns out.

Del Murder
11-19-2008, 09:30 PM
Elle and Sylar should get their own show, where they travel around to people who are just discovering their powers and help them learn to control them. Every once and a while they get a pop in from their 'old friends' Noah Bennet or Senator Nathan Patrelli. The antagonist is played by a resurrected Adam Monroe who is trying to enlist these people into his villains gang in order to take over the world or some other charmingly devilsh plot. Now that would be a show!

I thought this episdoe was the worst ever. For a start the dialogue is all just plain terrible. I know it was never the BEST writing, but it fit the feel of the whole thing and wasn't bad. I found that every response by any character in this episode was easily predictable to anyone who has watched a 90s action film... in a bad way.

And Sylar needs his memory erased. He has turned into such a little bitch. Even Peter is more badass than him now without power. Sylar smiling and falling in love is just plain wrong.

It seems like whoever wrote this episode knows nothing about the characters and just followed whatever plotline he was told to and used all the tricks in the oldest book.

I have, up until now, never been disapointed with a single moment of Heroes. I thought season 2 was great.

Because people love Hiro and it would hurt ratings. Also, if Arthur took Hiro's powers they would have been stuck in the desert and it would have been harder to write a story for them. That was strictly ratings/writing driven and not character driven.

So I guess their powers are fueled by the yellow sun. :p

Oh, and what's really bugging me is Elle. They have NO idea what to do with her character. One week she's a sensitive, unhappy, vulnerable girl who was made into something she doesn't like by forces beyond her control. Last season she electrocuted a man to death basically for the lulz. Then she's all girly-cute with Claire. Then she's trying to make Sylar a killer and destroy that whole empathy thing. Ugh. Then again, who has been consistent here?

~*~Celes~*~
11-26-2008, 07:12 PM
Ok, I'm not entirely sure how i feel about what's going on.

They could have easily just taken away Peter's abilities, stuck Sylar on Arthur's side, and wrote it so that we have to watch all the characters with their separate abilities take down Arthur together. Sylar, who is battling with his inner demons and questioning if he's following the right path or not, sees how Angela's team is sticking together, they're working as a team, and they're supporting each other, whereas Arthur's team is full of power-hungry, manipulative, cold and distant people. He questions which path he wants to follow, thinks about how Elle makes him feel...supported, loved for who he is despite that he's a monster, etc.

Arthur kills Elle because she fails at something, so Sylar joins Angela's forces to take Arthur down. Arthur, of course, has both a great advantage and a great disadvantage. Disadvantage being that he's got so many people against him, including Sylar. Advantage being that he can take powers away. So, he takes away a couple of people's powers, probably everyone but Sylar, and it's just Arthur and his team vs. Sylar. Either Sylar wins as is typical of the "heros vs villains" theme, or a twist causes Arthur to win instead, and either the season ends, along with the show, or if Arthur wins, then a few years later, new heroes show up or something.

That last episode was horrible and seemed riduculously unrealistic. Bennet slit Sylar's throat and Claire died, but as soon as the eclipse ended they came back to life!? I thought the eclipse just temporarily shut off their powers so if they died before the eclise ended they should be dead right, and why didn't Bennet just took care of both Sylar and Elle when he qwas sniping them. It seems to be going downhill fast and why are they continuing to flip flop Sylar's personality whenever someone talks about him he just suddenly changes upa dn I thought that for a girl with constant electical build up in her body, her hair would always be sticking up like Freakazoid and also when did Maya come back out of that cocoon that was weird. This is just a horrible mess!

Hey, this show is great. I just started watching it a couple of days ago and I'm totally hooked. I'm on Episode 5 atm, so I'm not going to read this spoilerific thread just yet!

Claire's storyline is the most interesting so far, or rather the most entertaining. :D I'd like that power! Niki is pretty cool too, Ali Larter is awesome. Not so much a fan of the Mohinter storyline, but I'm sensing it's probably the most important one for the plot of the show.

What I really like about this show though, is how they show how people deal with finding out they have a superpower, and how they use it in the beginning. :D It's fun when people don't know what they're doing.

So true!

I think this show is trying to right itself. It has a long way to go but I see the recent episodes as an attempt to undo a lot of stuff that was done this season. Make Sylar a killer again, kill off Arthur, make Sylar not their son, etc. However it is all happening too fast and it just comes off as a bad soap opera. The catalyst stuff was really stupid and didn't make much sense so I'm glad that's over.

I think the story arc about giving people abilities is good but I don't like the idea that you can just inject someone and they get the ability to manipulate time. They play around too much with time in this one.

Great Saw-like Sylar moments tonight. I hope they leave Sylar like he is right now as a psycho killer. He can and should be the main villain of the show.

It really looks like they are trying to undo a lot of what was done this season. I like that but it makes for some awkward moments. These last two episodes have been better than the crap from the rest of the season. The next story arc looks promising. I've always liked Nathan as naiive villain type who thinks he's doing the right thing but is misinformed.

My thoughts exactly. Sylar will be back in an OMG! moment of some sort.

As for the series, I feel like they've basically run a 360 degree circle and are back at the end of season two with the reinstatement of Peter's abilities and can pretend that season three didn't happen.

Claire's Mama ain't dead either is she since she has fire powers, she must obviously be impervious to it and that other fire guy.

Why can't the show give a black guy a significant role all we had was a shallow villain.

She may be impervious to fire, but I'm not so sure she's impervious to a building collapsing on top of her.

The president is black, maybe he will have a big role. But I do think it's kind of messed up how they swept some of the minority characters under the rug.

Roogle
12-17-2008, 07:05 PM
The Haitian is the only non-Asian minority character on the show after three seasons that has not been written off or killed.

The writers have a poor track record when it comes to minority characters. Every Hispanic character on the show has been killed by Sylar: Isaac, Alejandro, Maya, and Jesse. Maya was revived at the end of Season 2 only to be used as a sex object and damsel-in-distress in Season 3. Every black character on the show, with the exception of The Haitian, has been killed, written off, or cast as stereotypical extras like thugs and uncivilized people.

I am sure that the writers don't do this intentionally:


Simone Deveaux, in the first season, was supposed to become involved with The Company in light of her heritage.
DL Hawkins, in the first season, was originally meant to be prosecuted by Nathan Petrelli - wrongfully convicted, he swears vengence on the man who sent him to prison. This would have established Nathan as more of a morally ambiguous character because DL was actually innocent of the crime of which he was accused.
Maya Herrera, in the second season, was originally meant to learn how to embrace her powers and finds a way to absorb the virus from others in the same way that Alejandro absorbed the effects of her ability from others.
Monica Dawson, in the second season, was originally meant to be pitted against Benjamin Knox. She, like Hiro, was a main character of the comic 9th Wonders! as a vigilante under the name of St. Joan.
Micah Sanders, in the second season, was originally meant to aid Monica Dawson in vigilante hunting. I think that it would have been cool if they got a brief story arc about going after the thugs who tried to leave Monica in a burning building resulting in Niki's death - who, also, was originally meant to survive the fire at the cost of regressing back into the Jessica personality or a new personality.


So, as you can see, these characters really were not able to build much of a fanbase due to internal or external events. I just find it annoying that we still have the same regular characters over three seasons and a rotating minority cast every season that seemingly gets thrown out for various reasons.

Del Murder

12-17-2008, 07:19 PM
No one really knows. Simone Deveaux was an unpopular character in the run of first season because her character did not really do much as a woman without abilities in the middle of a love triangle. Also, they usually kill or write off any female involved in a romantic relationship on the show, anyway. Love never lasts on some shows.

I have no idea why the DL Hawkins vs. Nathan Petrelli storyline was scrapped. Maybe it was too convoluted? It was meant to get DL, Niki, and Micah involved with the other characters right from the start.

Monica Dawson, Micah Sanders, and Maya Herrera were all victims of the Writers' Strike. Volume 3, I think, was called Exodus and that was the point where those three would have a much larger role on the show with their own respective story arcs.

Hannah has probably told you that the original concept of the show was to feature an ensemble cast with some recurring elements and characters; likely, The Company, its founders, and the descendents were always meant to have a place on the show, but that was scrapped around the time when they cast Zachary Quinto as Sylar and decided to succumb to network pressure!

Peter will have to receive all of his powers from scratch because there will be no time travel in the direction that the show is taking in the upcoming volume. If he had all of his old powers back, he would have Space-Time Manipulation, and it would defeat the purpose of ridding Hiro of his Space-Time Manipulation ability, too.

cool, i like it that way. after 3 volumes of "ok current events will lead to a big catastrophe, so someones gonna go back in time and change time" itd be good to just have a regular story where the characters are in trouble and we dont know what is in the future.

also if they continued the old way itd be kinda lame cos it started off as "new york blowed up" to "93% population dead" to "world split in half".. next itd be "omg universe exploded"
I completely agree. The 'catastrophic future that only the heroes can save' formula is totally played. Of course, Ando can still take Daphne through time if they really wanted. :rolleyes2

He played Jesse, the sound guy who escaped from Level 5 and who Peter was trapped in for a short time. Sylar killed him.

Ooh, okay.

I didn't actually watch Veronica Mars until after those episodes were over, so that's probably why I didn't notice.

Anywho, I have yet to see this week's and last week's episodes, but I have both currently tabbed in my browser...Will come back with what I think later.

I was expecting something more epic for the last fight. They were close to injecting all of the...infantry? with the serum and instead the only person who has powers barely uses it before dying. Arthur dies in the 2nd last episode and everything is left as a cliffhanger for season 4.

I actually had high hopes for Monica to be developed. She had a lot of potential in what she could do, and could have been a very powerful 'hero' if the writers had bothered to flesh out her character more.

Finally, I see the 4th season starting to feel like X-Men 3, the movie. Ugh.

My only wish is that they stop the time-travel. -_- I mean, being able to 'paint the future' or whatever is one thing. Being able to actually go back and re-write history is just annoying and can effectively make everything that happens in Heroes into nothing in seconds, which I dislike a lot. I love that Hiro can teleport himself and others - that I have no problem with. It's the other stuff that sucks. The only time time travel is anything close to acceptable is when it's not under such complete control that Hiro has it under.

Didn't they rehire one of the guys in charge of the first season? I think I read that somewhere about a week ago and how he wants to change the formula back to what it once was, to avoid the constant confusing story mess that has been going on in the third volume with the work on the power granting super formula.

I'm kinda getting tired of the Sylar character, to be honest. I sort of understand his motives for doing what he has been doing, but they are kinda getting old. He has a good character and the actor portraying him is pretty brilliant, I just think they need to find a better way to put those to use rather than Sylar just killing everyone. I also hope Hiro doesn't fall to the wayside now that his powers are going but I don't really see how that will be done without damaging his character's integrity a little.

I'm tired of time-travel as well because it seemed that the visions Angela was having at the beginning of the show were pointless as the past and/or future was constantly being changed.

Peter will have to receive all of his powers from scratch because there will be no time travel in the direction that the show is taking in the upcoming volume. If he had all of his old powers back, he would have Space-Time Manipulation, and it would defeat the purpose of ridding Hiro of his Space-Time Manipulation ability, too.There are two hitches to this. Ando+Daphne= Time Travel. Also, there's no need for Peter to receive all of his powers from scratch for the reason you gave. Like Hiro before him (before reverting to a childlike state) Peter would no doubt realize now that time travel just vox everything up.

I am still curious about Ando's powers from Hiro's time-traveling exploits.

01-27-2009, 07:05 PM
No, I meant that Peter will need to receive all of his powers from scratch because he currently has no powers except for Flight. The reasoning for this comes because the executives for the show have said that there will be no time travel in the upcoming volume because that power is gone. I assume that means that Daphne and Ando will not meet again, or that they simply won't do it.

So apparently this show is back.

I thought it was a pretty good episode and looks like things are going in a good direction. Too bad a lot of what the earlier season did is irreversible.

If this storyline immediately followed season 1 I think it would have been a lot better.

EPIC.

I never can decide whose side Bennet is on, and whether he's double-agenting or not. xD

Anyway, that was a great episode, and I'm glad Sylar's not properly dead. As over-done as he is, the show isn't the same without him.

Did Peter suddenly forget that he could fly? He was really struggling to hang on there, when he should've been like 'well, I can fly so it doesn't matter if I let go.'

Unless he can't.

I read that somehow he can only hold one power at a time now, and it requires him to touch whoever's power it is. I dunno for definite, though.

Ugh, I only just saw the promo for next week. Lost, anyone? xD

I completely forgot that it came back yesterday. Dammit, this is what I get for not watching television. Which also reminds me that I forgot that House was on.

Here's hoping Hulu puts both of them up again.

A limit to Peter's ability would be good. That should have been done in the beginning. Holding one power at a time makes him unique and very powerful without overdoing it.

Ehh.. I loved Volume 1, but Volume 2 was kinda bland to me. Have not even looked at Volume 3 yet, despite being to watch it on Netflix's "Watch Instantly" section. Just haven't found it in me to care, anymore.

I saw it last night on G4 since i missed Monday's airing and it was the best damn episode that I've ever seen. I used to think that Nathan was good and that he learned from his experience when he almost died, but he seemed to take the God thing in the wrong way. I liked how Ando became a player and how Hiro was bugging him to death. How could he really be a stand alone super hero when his ability is to boost other's powers? Now that I think about it, how could Hiro's powers be boosted, if he had them?

Bennet was cruel man, how could he do that to Suresh, how did Nathan even know he had powers? I'm also a bit confused about the African prophet returning. Is that a part of the telepath's conscience. or did the African also have a ghost power?
That episode was really good, but I didn't get why Peter was struggling to hold on so much or how ice could create a hole in the plane.

Ice froze the plane wall and made it brittle so that it would break away easily.

Did any of you know who that person was that flew out? I hoped whoever it was didn't die. It would be nice to have a new character, but that person would have to have some substance. I don't know why those Company people tried to catch Sylar, I mean come on he's fucking Sylar! They were stupid as hell the man has about eight different powers. I didn't feel for them at all especially when Sylar cut the guy's head off. Man, that was an intense episode.

The best scene of that episode is when Sylar lays the smackdown on those agents rounding people up.

executives have said that there will be no time travel in the upcoming volume because that power is gone. I assume that means that Daphne and Ando will not meet again, or that they simply won't do it.
Or even better, the possibility that Ando's ability will evolve so he boosts himself instead of others. Seriously, everyone else is so damn powerful. Why the hell would anyone need a frickin' power booster? Daphne's the only character whose powers make sense to boost and when Ando blew up Parkman's head, I instantly recognized the plot element they were introducing.

I never can decide whose side Bennet is on.I just want him dead already. Which is exactly why, like Sylar, he'll probably outlast more than half the cast. They're just going to keep stringing us along giving us hope that Bennet will die and then WHAM, nope, not this time.


I read that somehow he can only hold one power at a time now, and it requires him to touch whoever's power it is.
That sucks. I was wondering why he was reaching so desperately for Suresh.

That episode was really good, but I didn't get how ice could create a hole in the plane.Yeah, Parkman's a headcase. Atmospheric pressure. There's always intense pressure on planes (they call it cabin pressure). If a part of the plane becomes suddenly brittle, the vacuum around the plane (air rushing over the vessel as it jets through the sky) can easily rip it apart. FYI, I also knew that was going to happen when he touched that chick. First guess was freezing someone, but I knew that wouldn't happen to Peter.


Did any of you know who that person was that flew out?

Meh a filler episode that didnt feel right! if i learnt anything from this episode its that:

Hiro is pretty selfish- cant he be happy at all that Ando is doing something other than being in the background
Claire is an annoying brat
Nathan is eviiil
and Strauss is an idiot but given the circumstances....no sort of an idiot

im kinda sick of them playing that whole Bennet lies to family-Claire rebels- makes situation worse- finds out he was doing his best to protect her once its too late--situation! Makes both parties look stupid! Cant they learn lol!

Heroes is yawn now. Claire is stupid whiny brat. Even Bennet's schtick is getting a little played. This show could have been so much better. The only interesting characters anymore are Sylar and Nathan.

Pyro is totally Sylar's little brother, but it's not hard to figure that one out.

I had to really force myself to watch this last episode. They really drag things out. Heroes is lucky I have no life at all or I'd quit watching it entirely.

I do like the Sylar stuff at least.

I think "Rebel" is Angela, but I will be pleasantly surprised if it's Micah. Wasn't he supposed to show up again this Volume? I doubt it is, but I liked him and want it to be.

Dropping moral anvils left and right here. They could have at least made the jumpsuits a different color.

Okay Sylar remains the most worthwhile element of the show but let's be honest, Parkman making the dudes shoot each other up was A) Fairly badass and B) Not really what he used to be like. I like that he has apparently gone bat:skull::skull::skull::skull: Rambo insane and demands bloody vengeance for Daphne.

This episode seemed like pure filler to me. Noah already said last episode that he had to play along or they would take Claire away, so it didn't reveal anything new. Even the way he joined Nathan was about as mundane as they could make it. I get the feeling that they don't know what they want to do with the show right now and are stalling.

Also, another apocalypse? Really? Can't they think of something else?
