HEROES

[Arcex]

Here's something interesting to think about, Hiro probably knows more than we think.

1) Sulu is at a high level of whatever it is that's going on.
2) Sulu was trying to get Hiro involved in the company at a high level (obviously his future sucessor).
3) Remember how everyone else has discovered their powers? By accident. Remember how Hiro discovered his powers? He was already trying to stop time, it's a pretty big coincidence that he just thought he had the power to stop time and lo and behold, he's able to stop time. He clearly knew ahead of time what his power would be and was trying to use them, the logical conclusion is that Sulu knew what he would be able to do and told him.

Everyone's calling him Sulu...

last night was episode 17. most shows have 22 episodes per season. i don't think an official number has been announced, but it will be close to 22.

He is Sulu.

Richard Dean Anderson is MacGyver.

Billy Dee Williams is Lando Calrissian.


Any questions?

He can't. He's already stated that that isn't how his power works. Memories can't be restored.

I don't know about you guys who are raving about the writing. Some of it was definitely pretty good, but some is pretty cheesy. I gotta wonder how much you all are being blinded by the CGI that we're not used to seeing on TV shows. Too many characters take actions that aren't thought through at all. Thats definitely one difference between Lost and Heroes. I get the impression that as a whole, the Lost characters are a lot smarter. I mean, come on, Mr. Bennet's boss walks in, has to make a stupid comment to announce his presence and then barely hits Ted? He's supposed to be a pro at this game. Also, remember that Ted's power is radiation, not fire, so when the house is burning, its from enough radiation that everyone in the neighborhood should be dead.

I like the mysterious style and intertwined plot but for the most part it just seems like they don't think things through as much as Lost does (did?). Its much more on the surface. The subtle details and clues aren't there. I'll keep watching it, partly because its on Monday, my only day off, and I can watch it in HD. Its good, but definitely not great.

5 more episodes is ok i thought it was only like 3 episodes left......they can really do some nice stuff in those 5 episodes,

How did the invisible man survive getting shot and falling off that bridge?

 

[Abe Froman]

I don't think he actually fell. You never saw any rustling in the trees or grass.

Was the Clean Up lady the same one who revealed the secret to Ted and Parkman? Or do they just resemble each other?

He's very resilient. And we don't know that he actually fell off the bridge.

Yep. If you read the online graphic novel at the Heroes website, he is also in the room with Claire's biological mom when she blows up her apartment and survives without any damage. Either it is bad writing or there is more to him than just invisibility.

well next week is the last episode before another "break" that i assume will last until the end of april/beginning of may.

you never see him fall of the bridge. it's only implied by HRG looking over the edge. also, in the last scene HRG knows exactly where he needs to be shot to survive so it's not a stretch to assume he knew where to shoot claude to not fatally wound him.

no. the "clean up lady" is candice wilmer. the girl who revealed the secrets is hana aka wireless.

FYI, they give a lot more info on wireless through the comics & even had a 4 comic arc on her background.

Thanks...didn't know that.

That is one thing I was thinking, naturally without exact numbers we can only guess but it seems like there should be some medical affects to the people who were around him. Even though they weren't exposed for long, and most of them not at close range (the 2 biggest factors) Pitman and HRG should be feeling the effects.

why werent the peeps affected by the radiation

they did, thus why they had the scene with the new "hero" candice (played by Missy Peregrym) talking about her cleaning it up. i think we will see what her actual power is next week, but it's been speculated to be something between pheromone seduction to being an illusionist.

She's more than welcome to practice on me .

Hiro already more than likely had a run-in with his powers but they never showed it. It seemed like he was experimenting in the beginning kind of like how some of the other people have that moment when they're like "oh crap, I not normal" and then they try to figure it out. To me, they had Hiro's "oh crap, I not normal" moment before the show began and his figuring it out scene was the beginning of the show.

Who's to say they weren't? The cop is in a stupor at the moment having God knows what done to him on that table by the hot chickie. Mmm I wish I was having things done to me on the table by the hot chickie .

The process by which Ted generates radiation is a chain reaction (HRG did state something about a chain reaction). As with any nuclear chain reaction, heat is given off. HEAT = IGNITING STUFF ON FIRE?

HRG's "company" probably resembles positions of power, not elite assassins per say.

And definitely cannot compare apples to oranges. Rate shows based on independent criteria, not against other shows. Otherwise, you'll lose interest in a really good show.

I'm not sure, that would be a major copout to me. Now that we know Sulu is high up in this organization it makes for a better story if we find out Hiro knows more that it seems, this would also explain why his father was willing to let him continue his mission. The sister-taking-over-the-company excuse isn't an entirely adequate explanation.

 

[hdeck]

his father being a part of the organization explains well enough why he would let him continue his mission. he can inform others and prepare for him, feeding him whatever information he wants & letting him get as far as they decide.

so if the bookcase 10 ft behind HRG has gotten hot enough to catch on fire, what should be happening to HRG?

 

[FreshPrince]

so...did Mr. Bennet HRG guy let the invisible guy go?

Alas, doth fire spreadeth across the wood-eth?

 

[randay]

super awesome theory incoming:

invisible man doesnt just turn invisible, he phases out. hence why he survived the extra bullets shot at him while invisible and why HRG shot at him before finishing his sentences. I found it kind of odd that he would do that and this might be a possible reason.

If he phased out, he wouldn't have been visible via infrared goggles.

here's a question...

did Peter ever meet up with radiation guy?

reason is that if the radiation guy blew himself up, then Peter would never get the chance to absorbe his powers so how could peter blow up NY?

wasn't the reason Peter was going to blow up was due to the lack of the ability to contain his powers? His body became overwhelmed and esplodes
