montster Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I finally watched this week's episode. I freaking love this show! So, Isaac says that he can't stop fate and he is going to die but that he "will show" the key to defeating Sylar and the bomb. Then Sylar starts painting away with his new found talents after Isaac's death. Anyone else think that Sylar is painting FAKE clues to throw Hiro and company off in how to defeat him and the bomb, and that's what Hiro and Ando are going to find next week - the FAKE clues? i was under the impression that the clues to defeating sylar were part of the final issue of the comic book isaac sent with that messenger. once it gets published, there will be so many copies, there's no way sylar could destroy them all.

Clues may be in the comic book and/or the sketch book... If its the sketch book, it becomes a prized item to be fought over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 ok, so whoever it was that mentioned future hiro telling peter he didn't recognize him without the scar -- could there be an alternate timeline where peter never met claire and never got her healing power? maybe the timeline we're watching is the one future hiro put together, to stop the bomb. OOOOH! OOOOH! Yes! Because the Hiro that made the scar comment to Peter had not yet told him to go save the cheerleader. By doing that, he created a new branch... one where Peter did not have a scar because he went to go meet Claire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made that original comment, and I like this theory!!! on another note, did anyone slo-mo the previews for next weeks "future episode" like I did. What was strange was that in one of the scenes, they showed a hugh outdoor tv screen like you might see in Times Square, but the picture was of Sylar, and the bottom caption said, "America Remembers", like he was being grieved....... What could Sylar do to be grieved by the American population??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Pennypacker Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 4/30 show was awesome. I don't think there is a better show on t.v. I just wish there weren't so many commercials because it plays like a movie. Can't wait for next week when Hiro is back from the future.

Can't wait for next week when Hiro is back from the future. I thought it wasn't that good. About 37 minutes (minus commercials) of the future that will try to be changed. It seemed like fluff and filler to me. They had 4 weeks left to fill and 3 weeks of story, so they did this. The show is good, I just don't think it is half as good as it could be.

Egret Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 My interpretation of the Sylar painting: Sylar kills the shapechanger, assumes Nathan's form and takes the White House. Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cre8tiff Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Seeing Sylar frozen in time in the teaser, but then moving his eye to look at Hiro was awesome! And BTW, Peter fully using his powers was pretty kick-ass. Thought the whole fire and ice battle was a bit cliche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 And BTW, Peter fully using his powers was pretty kick-ass. Thought the whole fire and ice battle was a bit cliche. I thought it was kick-ass. I was pissed off that they weren't showing the fight, but I guess I understand that it was not time yet. There is at least one moment in every show where I think to myself "Damn. This show is really well done!" I can't remember a better show on television from a writing or production standpoint. Even when I was a huge fan of X-Files, I knew that it was a pretty cheesy TV show. This one has much higher production values. Last night I got to thinking... "Which character is going to leave the show for a movie career first and ruin it for the fans". As it stands, I think Peter is the only indispensable character. So, I guess it would be him. Other than having him leave, I think only really poor story arcs could kill the show, but I don't see any sign of that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter was even dressed a bit like Neo with the long black trench coat buttoned up to the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeeman Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Still loving it, but I just can't figure out where it goes for a second season. Just add more characters, or go back and forth in time with Hiro? Just can't see how the same story can arc over for long.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJW Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 A little help please. I DVR everything now so I don't have to watch commercials. But NBC, as it has a tendency to do, ran the show a few minutes long. So here's where I am. Hindo (or whatever Hiro's friends name is) turns to him as he's saying he can't go back to the past and says he can, he's seen what kind of man he's become...... Recording ends! Can someone fill me in on the last few seconds I missed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmypg Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 While I love Heroes it reminds me a lot of Lost. Great first season, great story, but where do they go next? Lost took a dive in season 2 only to comeback strong this year. I hope Heroes doesn't do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Heroes-- end of season one.. the good guys appear to win by end of season two, it looks bleak and the "bad guys" appear to have the upper hand, but there will be switching of sides, ala X-Men season three and beyond, good starts to triumph, eventually winning out over evil.

Can't wait for next week when Hiro is back from the future. i really liked last night's episode, although i agree that it didn't seem to have much to do with the current plot, assuming that hiro is successful in stopping the bomb. what bugged me, though, was the time-travel stuff. i hate time-travel because there's no way to get it right, and it can be a lazy plot device. so according to last night's episode, future hiro at one point jumped to the past, stabbed sylar, but sylar regenerated because he already had killed claire and got her power. so future hiro figured he had to go back even further and warn peter to save the cheerleader (although why he couldn't just say, "save claire bennett of odessa, texas," i don't know). then present-day hiro jumps to the future, where claire is alive, but sylar is, too. so what happened? if this is some alternate timeline, then what bearing does it have on the current plot (besides explaining why claire had to be saved)? and if hiro can jump to alternate timelines, how do we know he jumped back to the correct present-day timeline? and if there are all these alternate timelines, why should we care about this one in particular? and if future hiro dies in that one alternate timeline, is he alive in all the others? i can't believe i just wrote all that.

Let's not forget the paradox of being in the same time with another version of yourself. How exactly would that be possible? And having conversation/contact with yourself ... yeah right. I hate when sci-fi shows do the time travel thing. I would have preferred that his power be limited to teleportation and freezing time.
