Or maybe we just have to accept that most things are only good during the original and shouldnt have sequels. Not that I have ever watched it but someone should tell the Lost guys that you cant be stuck on an island for 10 seasons. Same thing with survivor. Give it the f*ck up. I wonder why people still watch those types of shows
Finally saw the episode. I was like WTF, since I thought Daphne's secret was that she did some crazy ing stuff, even more disturbing than Mohinder. And then she is a cripple. If anyone brings up polio, they augta get wacked with a stick, since it's basically a dead disease.
So I read the comic, my first in a long time. Hrm... It does explain why she's so emo.
Man that eclipse. At least people don't get their powers another way, like a superpower going around killing people just to find the gifted ones.
[quote name='Will']I dont think they went very far with it at all....everything I read was basically saying Daphne vs Hiro was the next Adam vs Hiro.....Im hoping they come back across with something in the 2nd half.[/quote]
The way they are going with Hiro I wouldn't be surprised if they made it Hiro vs puberty next. If he regains his memories and Peter remains powerless I could see Hiro paired up against Sylar.
On a side note I think if Peter wants to stop feeling useless without his powers he needs to start packing heat, because I don't see him getting far against an army without it.
I'm starting to hate Claire's character. Sure she's immortal so long as nobody goes highlander on her, but she has no offensive capability, she's always a victim.
Just when HRG was trying to teach her to fight, she ends up getting shot while powerless.

Well the comics showed future Claire as a gunfighter who used her immortality to the fullest, blowing herself up to kill people with no worries. Since a lot of people with offensive powers aren't invulnerable themselves and very much feel pain I guess it all evens out. I haven't liked her much this season but she does have potential. Of course her potential could be squashed like Hiro's so we'll see how this goes.
[quote name='becuzimbrown']Is there anywhere I can get a Recap of Seasons 1 and 2? I want to start watching the new season, but I forgot everything that happened.[/quote]
Lets see, you're at an airport and the screeners have a choice between a guy in a turban, another with "Down with the USA t-shirt" or a cute blond cheerleader.
I was thinking of how horrible this season was, and trying to remember what happen in season 2. Than I realised that they never ever mention what happen to that Irish girl Peter took to the future, unless I missed it. It's been bugging me ever since then. Peter seems to have forgotten her too. Is she now stuck in some alternative future or does it not exist at all now. I really want to love Heroes again but with the way it's headed I don't think I will care anymore.
Elle is dead, Sylar turned back into a one dimensional character, and what exactly has this season been building up to? I don't see any plot building up? I don't see what the two sides will be.
He was healed by Adam's power so with that power gone he wouldn't just stop being able to move or have old wounds reopen, otherwise Peter and Sylar would have dropped dead too. As for the ep tonight, holy shit did Nathan go off the deep end

Their suppose to be fighting over giving people powers vs not giving them powers. Also Heroes vs Villians

I assumed the powers were just keeping him alive, that if he lost them he'd revert back, since they weren't his natural powers.

Right...but the season started off with evil Claire, Hiro vs Ando, evil Peter, evil Mohinder, and good Sylar. Now we see Sylar becoming bad again, Peter becoming good, and pretty much no conflict between Hiro and Ando. I don't see anything actually building up. It pretty much takes a strange turn each episode which makes no sense.

I guess they could have gone that route but it would have effected too many other major characters. Just think of it like Adam healing Nathan, only took once.

I think you're concerning yourself with alternate timeline stuff too much, those trips into the future are just to show how it could play out, not how it will. I'm not really sure why so many people seem to forget Sylar told Noah straight up i'm just seeing where this leads, well tonight he saw the end of the road and didn't like it. Easier to just rip off skulls, as for the build up well they've been building up with the formula almost every episode
The thing that always bothers me is when Hiro left the comic book store, what the hell took him so long to get to the house? Do these things not take place at the same time?
Or is it like x happens and everything thing else is happening in the world, but when they go to a new scene its just the other stuff that was happening during event x that they are showing?
Basically x and y occur at the same time. They show x then transition to scene y which was happening during scene x?
- Good side story involving the Haitian & his invulnerable brother
- Someone got a permanent smile form ear-to-ear
- Hiro finally does something useful
- Claire died
- Sylar became less interesting
- No more Elle!?!
- Claire came back to life and continues to annoy me
I'm still enjoying the show, but it's definitely spinning it's wheels a bit. The whole eclipse thing was pretty pointless to just take their powers away for 2 episodes then come back when it's over.
They should have at least had that give Peter his powers back and restore Hiro's memory and end that stupid Hiro as a 10 year old plot line to make it somewhat worthwhile.
As is, nothing major happened because of it since Claire and Sylar came back to life, the Haitian's brother was killed after everyone had their powers back etc. So pretty much pointless to the plot, though of course they can tie it in later some how. Mohinder using it to perfect the forumla eventually etc.
This season just has so many holes it hurts to watch...
- If Bennet had Sylar and Elle in his scope, why would he wait until they were gettin' down to take the shot? And then, how does he go and miss? He's got to be well-experienced with firearms, and you don't carry around a bfg like that without knowing how to use it.
- If Arthur could control his wife's mind to get her to go along with the entire Nathan must die plot, why couldn't he control Nathan's mind into not going after Linderman?
- So, Isaac really made all these comics to be released post-humously? Just about everyone knows he had prophetic art - why didn't anyone look at them until now?
- Why does Peter know how to use automatic weapons?
And, in more of a general nit-picking thing, why is Arthur supposed to be "evil". So, he's killed a few people. How many have Primatech killed, and they're the supposed good guys. All he's really done is get himself some dim-witted minions and gave a researcher a nice grant to work on his stuff. "Indian Researcher" doesn't seem nearly as catastrophic as "Worldwide plague" or "Nuclear bomb in NY".

I noticed some of you guys mentioned that Sylar is back to being bad. That's true, but what about what side he'll take? Knowing that both Arthur and Angela tried to "use" him to their advantage, will he just wreck havoc to both sides? I mean, that's assuming he comes back from wherever Hiro took him.

The hole in this is that he got the power of the woman who could see the history of any object... so he should know full well if they are really his parents or not and always should have since that point. While his return to evil was fun to watch (though what was up with Elle's meek scream) it seemed sort of like an odd choice, he was gaining a much deeper mastery over his powers by hanging out with Angela and Arthur . I guess getting a smile with a boxcutter changes your perspective on things.
[quote name='m0rningbreakfast']Maybe he just likes to watch[/QUOTE]
I was thinking the exact same thing, or he just wanted them super happy when he blew their brains out
Is Elle really going to be dead in the next episode? The future showed Sylar with a baby, and he has been poking Elle in the last couple of episodes so it is only natural to assume that she is the baby mama. Will Sylar somehow sense that she is preggo and fly her to Pinehurst to be healed? I find it very odd that the writers would write off Elle so quickly after really building her character.

Alternate timeline, things have already changed from that future so her death would just be another one. I never saw Elle as a permanent member of the cast, much like Maya she just didn't have an obvious role in the grand scheme of things . Besides Sylar had every reason to kill her, she was becoming a liability and couldn't make up her mind if she wanted him to be good or evil not to mention she potentially knew more about him then she was admitting. He got pissed, brains got exposed.
Anyone else think that a lot of whats going on this season is pointless?
-Like Peter goes into the future and gets Sylar's power. Then he ends up losing it to Arthur. What was the point?
-Hiro and Ando in the beginning seem to be fighting because Hiro thinks Ando is going to be evil. Now we don't see any of that.
-Daphne starts off as Hiro's Nemesis, and is now just a love interest for Parkman
-Sylar threw Peter out of the window and it was hinted that Sylar saved his life by picking him up just as he fell leading us to believe that Sylar was becoming good. Now Sylar is as evil as ever
I feel that the whole season is just going in circles with no clear plot build up connecting the episodes together.
Stupid HRG!!! He had to be all badass and slice Sylar's throat, instead of being more cruel and decapitating the sucka like Arthur did with African Isaac. And Hiro had to put the lovers in the same place at the same time?! It's a shame he couldn't do the buried alive trick, like he did with Sark. Man, I wonder how Sylar can get out of that.
The part of the episodes I actually like was Maya's hotness, and Hiro and Claire watching that scene from the past... that's about it.
[quote name='fatherofcaitlyn']If somebody asks if Heroes is watchable again, yes.[/QUOTE]
I guess that should be my question, then. Why ask such a question here? This thread seems to be people who are enjoying the show for what it is, and those that come in just to tear it apart week after week.
There's a difference between having a problem with a show's direction and flat out despising it. If you don't think the show is watchable, don't watch it. Leave this thread to those that *do* enjoy it and want to discuss it.

i almost forgot about that..
maya's 5 seconds of hotness.. :Q...

the first time her head was gettin sliced open..
sylar doesnt have the haitians powers..?

remember, in the earlier episodes, she was losing control of her powers. after she zapped sylar countless of times in that room, she got control of her powers again. so who knows... maybe this is another loophole or sylar scared the ing s#!t out of her that she couldn't zap him.

I think the big difference was this time she accepted it, first time she panicked but this time she just closed her eyes. Which also would go along with Sylar scared her so badly she didn't think of trying to fight back. After hitting him a few hundred times in that room with no effect it isn't like her fighting would have bought her more then a few minutes at best anyway

lol that execution from HRG made the episode for me, weird thing is I'm a fan of sylar too.
Claire coming back to life, yawn
What I expected to happen at the beginning:
HRG scopes Sylar but kills Elle leading to Sylar's vengance. I actually like what they did better. It gives way to a mysterious family history of sylar (even though I thought he committed paricide).
Didn't think the haitian would put down his bro w/o any thought, the guy was practically xerxes from 300
With the whole comic book shop scenes, I can totally understand and fully support the firing of Jesse Alexander. Jesus christ what a load of garbage that was.
I'd make an argument about the comics being released after Isaac's death, but the show has already made clear with the whole "Mr Petrelli being in the photo" that things that happened in previous seasons can be changed at any moment without regard.

maybe elle's masochist side got the best of her, huh?
ing stuff, even more disturbing than Mohinder. And then she is a cripple. If anyone brings up polio, they augta get wacked with a stick, since it's basically a dead disease.
