Heroes [Split 4]

[theonlysaneone]

Yeah, the whole minutemen thing was kinda stupid. But when I first saw it I didn't see it in a political context, since that's what's happening in the real world right now.

That's not actually what is happening with them. They're a decidedly nonviolent group. But I digress.

Oh, and why did Kensei do that to Hiro? When he wakes up and finds he's in a cell or whatever, he can just teleport out of there.

I doubt Kensei understands the extent of Hiro's powers.

Did anybody else have the distinct feeling that peter and the irish girl were inside a painting in the last scene?

I liked this episode more than the last one. i'm glad that suresh didn't inject her. Although i thought he might pretend to and tell her to pretend to have lost her powers.

Also, i'm not sure if it's actually nikki that they have working with suresh, or whether it's jessica, she seemed different. and what do they mean that she will stop misunderstandings (or whatever it was they said). have they managed to give nikki/jessica a different power?

[Christopher]

Yeah, Hiro teleports bound and gagged into Times Square:

"What the hell?"
"Perhaps it's modern art?"

Strangely enough, something similar to that happened to me and a group of people in NYC.

I demand explainations!

i definitely think that was jessica and not nikki there. if it were nikki, she's be out of there as soon as possible to get to micah. but i think they just convinced jessica to watch suresh, possibly for a large sum of cash. and the power to rip a person in half would probably be enough to stop any misunderstandings

EDIT: way to quote the wrong person. *headdeask* fixed now, so it should be slightly more coherent

I like Nikki more than Jessica, but definitely thought it was Jessica in that scene. Poor Nikki. Anyway, I really enjoyed that episode, though thought Suresh should have pretended to inject her, too. Nikki/Jessica seemed more Nikki-ish before the 'treatment'. Weird, I thought she was truly Nikki again from the season finale.

This is a tiny bit off topic, but I assume that you guys know about the writers' strike by now?

Basically members of the Writer's Guild of America are striking because they are barely getting any money from TV DVD releases/iTunes sales/episodes streaming online because the networks are greedy. Most scripted shows have enough episodes to last until January.

However:

"Heroes' second season may be coming to a close a lot sooner than expected due to the forthcoming apocalypse, also known in some circles as the damn writers' strike.

Sources confirm that the show is going back and shooting an alternate ending to the Dec. 3 episode that, if used, would allow the episode to function as a season finale in the event of a strike. Originally, the episode was only supposed to serve as the conclusion of the current "Generations" arc. Should an 11th-hour agreement be reached and a strike averted (fingers crossed!), the alt ending would likely be scrapped."

Stupid labor unions, ruining everything...

Rant over. I hope beyond hope that this strike doesn't ruin Heroes, and hope even more that it doesn't get in the way of LOST this season.

EDIT: According to that link, it doesn't look like Heroes will have any trouble yet, but there could be some problems down the road. If they need a strikebreaker, I'm not busy

Well, it's not like the writer's are doing a bang up job this season anyways.

I can't recall the number of times I've rolled my eyes at the redundancy and general stupidity this season has been showing. I can barely sit through Hiro's boring storyline, Mohinder's even more boring storyline with Molly and even the HRG storyline is boring.

I don't know, the creator said the episodes which will "captivate" the audience are episodes 7-12, and they better be good, because I definately want to continue watching this show as it's one of my favourites.

I also read that Heroes: Origins, the 6 week midseason show that would introduce a new character, has been indefinitely postponed.

Edit:

Current episode

Great episode. Kensai is Adam and apparently he lives forever. Cool!
And it looks like HRG might be turning bad after all. Either that or Mohinder just screwed himself.

[Dragonfire]

Anyone know if this past episode is going to be shown on TV again before next week? I missed the episode last night (the first time I've missed one), and I'd rather not watch it online because of the quality.

Mohinder always screwes himself. For a professor he's pretty gullible.

Definitely an excellent episode. I love how all those storylines come together (especially the interesting ones with the old crew), and another big shocker at the end of the episode.

[Dragonfire]

Wow, this episode rocked. Finally this season has ramped up. Anyways...

That was cool that Adam pretended to be Takezo and that Hiro became his own hero and that he was actually Takezo and Adam was just playing him.

The characters on this show are flipping sides more than politicians. It's so confusing.

Yay Matt! That was so awesome what he did with his father.

I have a feeling that Adam is going to be volume 2's Sylar and that Monica is going to be volume 2's Peter. I sure hope not, because they can only do that kind of thing once. Although it would be cool if Adam and Sylar fought each other...

Poor HRG... I love his character and it looks like Mohinder is going to kill him later in the season. I wish it was the other way around, I hate Mohinder.

Current episode

Awesome episode! except for one thing, scratch that - 2 things.
Nathan would have been in an incubator type thing from the burns and radiation and he certainly would not have been able to move. Bothered me. *twitch*
And they didn't tell us what happend to Sylar for the last 4 months.

And Peter is so frickin hot lately.
And Elle is alot of fun.

I think thats it.

[May]

I agree about the awesomeness of last night's episode. They finally got around to explaining some things!

And Christy, I totally agree with you about Peter

I don't remember where I read this, but I read that they didn't have Sylar in this episode because for all 4 months he was with Candice recuperating, and then stuck in the jungle after he killed her. I'm not sure if that's actually true, but it makes sense.

And this episode was great. They finally tied up all the loose ends.

I don't have anything else to say except only 3 more episodes left. (December 3rd is the season finale because of the strike)
