Kevin's Watch

I watched all the episodes so far of this show over the weekend, and have two things to say: 1) This is a great show, and 2) that plan is ripped directly from Watchmen...

Interesting about Peter's scar. In the current timeline ("Save the cheerleader"), Peter gained regenerative ability and all of Sylar's powers at Homecoming, and so presumably can't be injured in a way that would leave him with a scar. In the original timeline, Peter never met Claire, but still has Sylar's telekinesis, so presumably met Sylar somewhere between Homecoming and the explosion, giving him the regenerative abilities that Sylar took from Claire. We have to then assume that he got the scar somewhere in between the place where the timelines diverged (the subway, "save the cheerleader") and the day he exploded. Wonder what happened?
(Of course, it's also possible he was injured and spent the entire healing time in the presence of the Haitian, but it doesn't seem likely.)


They really seem to have done some very good work on the whole timeline issue. It all fits perfectly.

I'm thinking of two possibilities for the scar.

1. The explosion came out through his face, and was so intense his healing closed the wound, but, didn't erase the scar.
2. The Haitian showed up after Peter was out of danger and had healed the wound, but, before the scar could be healed.

Last night's ep was great too! Sylar a matricide. His insanity is now officially complete. Gotta love it.

Nathan seems to be on a trip to failureville if he doesn't step up his belief in his own core. He is obviously destined to meet up w/ Sylar and as the timeline suggests lose. He cqan only win by belief.

Oh and the previews for NEXT week? George Takai is back!!! Wheee!

I agree with you, AG. I think they were trying to elicit a small sympathetic reaction for Sylar but it was fleeting. Sylar can understand taking power from the other "gifted", he believes they are unworthy of it, but to kill half a city frightens him. "Why would I do that?" So he goes crying to Momma. I knew it was only a matter of time before he killed her one way or another. I think they are building the show very well to the climax.

From EW:

(Another brief aside. If you haven't yet, check out Heroes producer Greg Beeman's blog, where he not only talks about reading that X-Men ''Days of Future Past'' comic I referred to last week .... I KNEW DoFP was an inspiration!!!!

Nice episode, i wonder who will be the bomb? Peter, Ted or Sylar?

Why did Hiro's time ability fail him when he was killing sylar?
Was it because he touched him?

And i forget, who had the ice power that Sylar now has?

Sylar had the ice power from the start--we never saw who he took it from. The crime scene when we first see Parkman had a frozen man with his head open.

The bomb--looks like the default option is Peter, but destiny has set up multiple redundancies: someone really wants this to happen. It's been set up so that stopping one of them doesn't stop another one from going off instead. I think Linderman's group really has orchestrated things well.
Ted is the least likely, though. He's learning control now.


The Sylar storyline this ep--I really liked his reaction to finding out he might explode, it fitted his character, but the rest of it... Introducing a mother who always wanted him to be special? It doesn't seem right. In his origin ep, his father was the big influence, from wanting him to be the same, insignificant.
Anyhow, they did what they wanted--Sylar as they set him up wouldn't want to explode. Now he's lost it, he doesn't care. Matricide is a bit of a cliche, though.

Seen as i am so kind:

All the episodes of Heroes, so far, can be watched the in Amazing quality.

The only problem with that theory is that Sylar cannot have that power unless he kills Ted first.....

I don't want Ted to die

And Peter is the bomb. He was in the future, makes sence that he is this timeline, too. It can't be Sylar- the writers of the show aren't going to have him die like that, and he's not going to kill Claire, she's too much of an important character.

Agreed Wadds.

Hmm Unlike some here I thought this ep was a bit lacking. I loved each up, especially the prev ep about the future (prob one of the best eps), but watching this one I was really bored. Only advancement was the introduction of the cute kid who can stop Sylar. And the Mica storyline...can we kill that one please? Zzzzz

Good cliff hanger though, like they usually are. Only question: Bennett told wipe-mind-dude to "go deep" to erase his memory (before the mid season break). If so, then how does he remember "Clair Bear"?

Who could forget her?

The show semed to show that he remembered most of it, but lost the last few days and bits and pieces for a while before that--at a guess, I think the Haitian took the knowledge that he had been hiding his daughter, and that he had known about her power for a while.

And yeah, the episode wasn't that good. Very little happened in it.

It looks like it's setting up. So the last episdoes was alright, but it seemed like there was a good bit of info that they finish in this upcoming and then the last of the season.

The cast of “Heroes” isn’t telling whether New York blows up, but what happens in the hit series’ final two episodes of the season will be “very unexpected.”

“The last three minutes of the season finale are actually the first three minutes of next year,” Greg Grunberg, who plays Matt Parkman, told TODAY host Meredith Vieira.

Given the episodic nature and multiple story lines of “Heroes,” the sprawling cast rarely assembles in one place. But with the penultimate installment airing tonight on NBC at 9 ET (8 Central), TODAY brought the 11 main characters together on the Top of the Rock in Manhattan, with the New York skyline spread out behind them.

In a brief preview of tonight’s episode, Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka), who has seen in the future the explosion that destroys New York, begs Nathan Petrelli (Adrian Pasdar) to prevent it from happening.



“I can’t stop it,” Petrelli tells Hiro. Then, whispering in his ear, he adds: “Nobody can.”

“Can you give me a hint?” Meredith Vieira implored the cast. “Something great is going to happen.”



“There’s a lot that’s up in the air at the end of the season, that’s for sure,” volunteered Zachary Quinto, who plays the villain Sylar, a serial killer of others with super powers. Visits to the future have shown that he will explode, destroying the city and thus the world.



‘Weight of the world on his shoulders’
The Heroes — ordinary people with extraordinary powers — have to kill Sylar to save the world, Vieira noted. So trying another tack, she asked Quinto, “Do you have a job next season?”

“I don’t know yet,” laughed Quinto. “We’ll see what happens.”

Milo Ventimiglia, who plays Nathan Petrelli’s younger brother, Peter, gave what may be considered a hint. A hospice nurse, he has the ability to absorb the powers of others.

“Peter’s got the weight of the world on his shoulders,” Ventimiglia told Vieira. “It’s got the potential to destroy New York and kill a lot of people. The caregiver, the person that he is, he doesn’t want that. He’s got to figure out how to get everybody out of the situation — not doing it so much on its own, but relying on other people.”

That was it for the revelations about the last two episodes of the award-winning series. But 11-year-old prodigy Noah Gray-Cabey, a concert pianist in real life who plays Micah Sanders, volunteered a secret when Vieira asked him what it’s like being a kid in a cast of so many adults.

“None of them are grown-ups,” he said. “They’re all just kids.”

No one disagreed with him.

Sweet. I just got a call from the "Vote For Petrelli" campeign. RAD!

The man has a point.

RAWF!

...though I DO think that Nikki/Jessica is much hotter!
