Re: Heroes

I thought it was wierdly stupid that not only did Hiro go charging at Peter without hardly talking to him, but that he went charging at him at all. Realize that he can't manipulate time around peter (or at least seems that way), and doesn't he know about Peter's powers? (I kinda forgot what he knows about that) He can definately see the energy comming out of his hand though, you think that would have been enough to not attack him :\

I never really thought of what any others were doing was too stupid. I don't have the episode fresh in my mind, and missed the first 5 minutes or something, but there wasn't much that wouldn't be understandable human behaviour knowing the circumstances.

Re: Heroes

Let's see.

a) Tim Kring is disappointed in this Volume.

b) Tim Kring is disappointed with the lack of character integration the new characters brought to the table.

c) Tim Kring will kill a prominent character.

One of these sentences doesn't belong!

Re: Heroes

How could you guys think the end of the first series was epic. I thought it sucked so bad. I thought it was going to be amazing.

The build up to Hiros part and all he did was run into him and stab him once and get backhanded into the past. I thought Pete and Sylar would proper duel but all that happened was a few people got blown back and Peter punched him once or twice.

And what the hell why didn't they just shoot Pete and have Claire heal him like before. Nathan flying him away was so unnecessary and they both die (presumably). Pointless. Please someone correct me.

I loved all the show but I thought the series finale was such a buzzkill.

Re: Heroes

1) Hiro's part was too short, but it was to prove that his power isn't invincible. Sylar was stabbed (also proving Isaac's comic), but mustered the strength to hurl Hiro into a building (using Telekinesis, of course). Hiro, to avoid actually getting hurt, spontaneously uses his time-travel.

2) The duel was awesome. Not as good as their future duel or the duel in Mohinder's apartment, but it was sweet. Peter is losing, but then he absorb's Niki's strength and uses that to smash the parking meter into Sylar. Four super-strength punches to the face later and Sylar is down.

3) That made no sense to me either. Claude was able to stop Peter from exploding by smacking him in the head.

The only logical explanation comes from a flashback in Volume 2 that talks about what happened at the end of Volume 1(not much of a spoiler, so I don't mind saying it despite the fact that you haven't seen it). As he and Nathan are in the air, Peter says it's taking all of his power not to explode and that he's unable to muster any other ability (like being able to fly away). If this is the case, he wouldn't have been able to regenerate and he would've died if shot. Or worse, the shock of the blow would've caused him to just blow up on the spot, taking New York with him.

Yea I got this, it just seemed so weak, after all the stuff we've seen from Hiro and that philosophical training session he has from his dad and all the effort into getting the sword. He just runs up sword pointing out into Sylar, I was expecting a bit more like.

Maybe I didn't like the duel. It comes down to those four power punches. I thought, stopping the bullets and the meter thing was cool but I didn't think it was enough. I'm not the type if guy that needs over the top explosions or naked vampire chicks riding motorcycles kicking ass to make me happy either. I just think it was built up way way way too much, the fight lasted like 5 minutes. I also thought there would be more use of there powers, as Sylar and Peter had most of them at there disposal.

3) That made no sense to me either. Claude was able to stop Peter from exploding by smacking him in the head.

I know go figure.

Meh, I guess this checks out barely. I think it's quite weak though.

Never said it had to make sense, but it feels like out of two characters dying, one has to be someone of some importance, instead of just underdeveloped people like Maya and Monica.

This episode is so the feeling of last season.

Oh my god this is awesome.

You know I didn't think it would start happening this early.

But yes, awesome.

Quick edit Sylar's list of victims on Wikipedia.

Sup.

Re: Heroes

Disappointing conclusion. Saw it coming from ages away. Nothing was resolved.

It's also incredibly ambiguous.

1) Maya - dead or not? Guessing no. If not, then...

2) Nathan - dead or not? Guessing no. He has Adam's blood in him. He should be able to cure wounds.

3) Niki - dead or not? Guessing yes. Writers have this tendency to make widows join the departed at the end of a story. Don't know why.

4) Adam - coming back? Obviously. Hiro could've done better.

5) Maury - coming back? Obviously. Why don't they kill these people?

This whole thing about healing blood and all is just stupid. I wish they hadn't have done it. Peter / Claire / Adam can just infuse blood into anyone and they'll never die. In fact, I'm surprised the blood hasn't just cloned them. Why not? If you can regrow body parts, you should be able to regrow a body a la Cell from DBZ. Your blood has your body's DNA, after all.

It's just too ambiguous. I hope they tie up the loose ends.

Re: Heroes

I'm sure Hiro didn't know Adam has a weakness, and I guess he likes irony. I mean, as long as he took the sword, Adam's gonna be gone for a looooonnnnng time. What would have rather he'd done?

ps they would've had to be REALLY close to both fit in that coffin


The healing ability power is in the brain (hence its weakness), so indpendent blood couldn't do anything. The effect of the blood in everyone who's been infused with it has to go away obviously. The blood only has healing properties, it doesn't contain the actual power.

What I'm wondering is that since Peter gained Claire's power, would his blood be efficient to heal Nathan? I agree with everything being ambiguous as hell, expecially with Niki, but that never stopped them from killing off DL for no reason, with a lame explanation for that matter.
