Re: Heroes
I'm bored so I feel like answering questions.
Scene 1: Why is peter running away from claire? Why not fly?
Peter's a dumbass.
Scene 1: Why is Claire putting a gun to Peter? She knows he won't die from it, and she knows he can stop it with telekinesis or time-stop.
Claire's a dumbass.
Scene 2: Why doesn't Peter disguise himself if he's going to shoot someone in a room full of TV cameras and hundreds of onlookers? He has the ability to make himself look like anyone else. Or, he could just be invisible.
Perhaps it's implied that he's invisible, much like in the phone booth scene in the second episode. Unless that's what you were suggesting by the last sentence.
Scene 2: How did nobody else see him?
See above.
Scene 2: Why did he try to kill Nathan as opposed to just temporarily putting him down?
Peter's a dumbass.
Scene 2: Why didn't he take the gun with him?
See above.
Scene 2: DNA on the clothes? Hair?
People are dumbasses.
Scene 3: Why does Nathan not recover immediately? Why does he die first?
I think this has been answered pretty well already.
Scene 4: How does Hiro fast-forward to exactly the right moment without passing over it before?
Special Time-Bender Super Luck®
Scene 5: When did Claire learn about Hiro? I don't think she ever knew him by name.
Special Invincible Girl Super Knowledge®
Scene 5: Sylar has super-hearing. You would think he would hear Claire picking up something heavy.
I thought he said he lost almost all his powers, excepting TK and his own innate understanding of things.
Scene 5: Why does Sylar beat around the bush so much in subduing Claire? He's never one to enjoy the hunt--just the spoils.
Slowly easing himself back into the lifestyle? Or he's a dumbass.
Scene 5: Any reason you can't just jump out a window Claire? You've done it before to escape from someone far less dangerous.
TK MAKES WINDOWS SUPAAA STRONG.
Scene 5: Why is Sylar unable to break through a small wooden blind door? A child could break through that without super powers.
Maybe it was a Mohinder-brand door?
Scene 6: Why is Molly written out with a lame excuse?
She was imbalanced.
Scene 7: "There's nothing left for me to do here" what? There's plenty left for Mohinder to do, especially in New York, where people with abilities seem to grow on trees.
Mohinder's a dumbass.
Scene 7: How could a geneticist not understand something so obvious about abilities from the beginning? Everybody knows adrenaline does these things.
See above.
Scene 8: Why is Hiro so dumb? Respect your damn father.
BOKU NO DESTINYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Scene 8: Why is Kaito so dumb? If you know Hiro is going to be protecting something important, don't leave it somewhere obvious or make it so damn easy to open.
HIRO NO DESTINYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Scene 8: Why is Kaito retarded? He left a giant button sitting right on his desk. Anyone could get into that safe. Even if the biometric combo kept, a hero with phasing or a similar power would be able to get it.
Kaito's a dumbass.
Scene 8: Why is Kaito super incredibly idiotic? If you made a second tape acknowledging that Hiro broke his will, why would you let him get at the thing regardless?
Kaito's a dumbass with foresight.
Scene 8: Kaito come on seriously. You're dead. You're the only person who understands your words. Why would you speak in a riddle to the only person you're passing the information along to?
HIRO NO DESTINYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
Scene 8: How did speedy-cat know to come in right then? She couldn't have been sitting outside because she clearly disrupts everything she passes by.
Apparently the comic book thing is a good explanation.
Scene 9: I DON'T WANT TO TELL ANYONE ABOUT THE FUTURE.
hi matt i came from the future
People are dumbasses.
Scene 9: Why does Peter assume nobody is outside this door as he switches from future Peter to present Peter in the middle of a police station?
Peter's a dumbass/badass. He doesn't care.
Scene 10: Once again Peter decides not to be invisible when thinking about shooting someone.
Can't remember the scene. Maybe it's implied invisibility again.
Scene 11: Mohinder continues to neglect doing real work.
Mohinder's a power hungry dumbass. And horny.
Scene 12: Sylar still can't open flimsy wooden doors held together by five seconds of improvised chaining.
Mohinder-brand.
Scene 13: Sylar implies that eating brains is disgusting. However, he has been seen with a bloody mouth before, and all of his previous victims had their brains removed. I understand that his ability is "a unique understanding of how things work", which explains why he doesn't actually have to eat her brain to consume her power, but it doesn't explain his past actions.
FALSE EVIDENCE TO CONFUSE COPS.
Scene 13: "You can never die." Both Claire and Peter have died before. If you simply keep the object that kills them in them, they won't revive.
I don't think he meant it as in "It's impossible for you to die," I think he meant "You need to avoid dying at all costs."
Scene 14: Another Mohinder mishap. There's still an illness that afflics only those with abilities, so that creation of his is just asking to become a worldwide pandemic. He found a "cure" but it's still a blood transfusion upon discovery of problems. You can't do that when the problems are widespread.
Mohinder's a dumbass.
Scene 15: In religion, the idea isn't to hide prophets. The idea is to tell the world. The only reason books about Jesus exist is because people spread the word abot Jesus. So saying angels can't be angels if everyone knows about them doesn't make sense in the religious context he implies.
RELIGIOOOOOOON.
Scene 18: Hiro makes a mistake and chooses not to rectify it by going to the past. Instead, he chooses to go to an unpredictable future where he can die and be unable to return to the present.
BOKU NO DES--I mean, Hiro's a dumbass. He thought due to his past experiences that trying to fix things by going into the past was the wrong way to go about it, and that he should be working to solve the problems in the present.
Scene 18: Since when is Hiro able to pinpoint a specific moment in the future he doesn't even know about?
Maybe his method of time travel allows him to search for events in addition to pure dates. Google for the modern Bill and Ted!
Scene 18: It's just a little too convenient that he can dip into the future to find out what he does, since his future self is based on his past self's actions, so his future self is only acting on the past self's sight of him in the future. In short, he's imagining the result.
TIME LOOP.
Scene 19: Why go all the way to a pier to pitch the syringe and then change your mind?
More dumbassery.
Scene 20: If Angela has precognitive dreams, she would've known to stop Peter in Season 1.
See above.
Scene 21: Why does Pyro still think he can get out after all the time he's been in there?
See above.
Scene 23: We don't know how long Matt is in the middle of Africa, but most experts say you would be dead from heat exhaustion without water in a matter of hours. Of course, that's assuming something else doesn't kill you first.
I figured it was maybe an hour or so. 45 minutes to be woefully exhausted, a few minutes of sleep, then a Sprint-using turtle and Isaac 2.0.
Scene 25: Mohinder's manifestation makes no sense. He can bend guns, he can throw people, he suddenly learns martial arts? And in the next episode, we find out he's spider-man? It's just a little vague. Most people's abilities make sense out of the box.
He's The Fly.
