Heroes: Chapter 16

Post by skotos »

Since nobody's started it.

And woah, apparently the Haitian's power causes some side effects, or there is something else going on.

Stan Lee in the opening credits? Could it be the Stan Lee? That would be cooler than cool (or maybe lame, we'll see how it plays out).

Poor Mr. Bennet. Beaten by both Petrelli brothers in the same way, and one of them is the father of his daughter.

Peter is learning fast now. Sylar's Telekineses, Hiro's time stop (might have been Tk again though), and Nathan's flight.

I wonder though, can he use more than one power at once, or is he limited to one at a time?

*whistles* I know that is a Hollywood cliche, the woman dying as her two lovers fight over her, but that was very well-done. This might be why Isaac kills himself (as Hiro saw in the future).

Bennett... talk about problems coming home to roost. *shakes head* Once again, Matt's in over his head.

I was wondering when StanLee'd show up. He was the bus driver :lol:

I thought that Isaac's death looked more like Sylar's brain-removing M.O.

God damn I love this show. Talk about good writting. And for a bonus we keep moving the plot along. Damn I never saw the end coming either, good shit and well done.

If the previews are right, it looks like we get a couple answers next week too.

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Hey, I just noticed something. Claude can control his powers or at least he isn't totally invisible.

I missed an episode so that might not be a revelation for everyone.

Haven't we seen multiple futures now?

When Hiro went, Isaac is dead on the floor.

In PeteVision, he's running with the dead girl...which brings into question the validity of his visions. I was going to put them as equally likely, but the dead shouldn't be in the street...unless...

Its almost a shame, I liked Simone, especially as it seemed things were just going to get interesting for her. (her confrontation with Nathan about going public) That would have been really interesting. Although at this point it would totally screw up major plots. So it probably would be better as another season plot.

Peter really walked along excuse me when I say, "the darkside" there. Granted it was probably a normal reaction to what Issac did, but still for they way Peter has been portrayed it was rather dark. And a scary glimpse of what Peter would be like if he slipped further down that path.

And I don't know how Sylar is going to get away with killing all the people he an Mohinder run into. Eventually a man meant to be as smart as Mohinder is going to or should figure it out. But Modhinder said it right away, its not like he can do anything about Sylar.

Anyone note that we're not certain that she's going to die?

It's likely, yes, but not assured.

Yeah, Peter could fly her to a hospital faster tan any ambulance could get there.

Overall, great episode, especially with Simone getting shot, I really didn't see that coming.

So far the writers of this show need to be cloned and sent off to Stargate, BSG and Lost because they are able to both advance the plot, have ample character development as well as drama, comedy and action in the same hour long time period that the writing staff's of the other three shows are slowing circling the toilet bowl in these regards.

Sandra has been mind-wiped repeatedly so she wouldn't remember anything unusual about Claire. What we're seeing is that using the Haitian's power to erase memories on the same person over-and-over causes brain damage.

That wasn't a suicide that Hiro saw; Isaac's head had been cut open and his brain removed. He's on Sylar's hit list.

Well, either that or the interaction with the beating she received from Sylar combined with immediate application of the mind wiping.

Given the frequency of the recent mind wipes it might be that the damage is non permanent given enough time to heal but the large number of recent wipes has begun to have permanent reprecussions.

I don't want Hiro and Ando to break up, Captain America always needs Bucky around, acts of plot even make sure to ressurect him when needed. More than likely they will end up back together due to some zany circumstance or misadventure. It would be pretty cool if Ando turned out to have a power as well, not sure what, maybe plastic man powers? That would be fun, useful at times but for the most part a comic relief power, which since Ando and Hiro are the comic relief of the show already, they would fit right in.

Mohinder isn't too fast on the uptake with Sylar now suddenly being massively effected by sound, though since he believes him to have been in the hotel the whole time, Sylar would be one of the last people among the likely candidates fro murder in his mind. Once Sylar gets control over this power he's going to be even that much more formidable, why can't he just catch a really bad cold and die or something.

As soon as Simone said "We have to tell the press", my roommate and I knew she had to/was going to die. As for Ando, we're not convinced he won't be coming back.

I like that Claire and her father are being semi-honest with each-other, and next week looks GREAT!

As I recall, Bennet and the Hatian didn't move, so it's possible time was frozen. Peter seemed to concentrate again to push the needles to the ground, perhaps calling up a second power from what stopped them initially.

Speaking of freezing time, the police cars weren't there before Hiro reversed time on Hope's gun, right?

Any idea if Sylar has flight or teleportation? Just basing that on his "There were no footsteps" comment.

The website on the card that Bennett gave to Mohinder was: www.primatechpaper.com right?

He could have also created ice understep or partially melted the un-organic floor under him to a minute degree (Implying again that he can use some powers to a frighteningly effective degree beyond their original "owners", as was the case with TK).
Did I mention that I started watching Heroes this weekend? Love it :D

I assume he just TK's himself over the ground.

And, in using the power Peter to slam Isaac across the room, he did the same weird voice change that Sylar did when he used he power. Is it possible it is more than dramatic effect, and is something like the Banshee sonic power? I suppose if it was it would suck for him to use it anymore with the new hearing, but he'll probably learn to turn it on and off.
