I know the writer's strike is going on but what is the deal with Heroes last night? Was the script written on the eve of the strike? The previous episode was so good so why did it suck so bad last night?
For example, we heard Adam tell Peter that losing your head is the one thing you can not come back from. I'm going to take that to mean decapitation because we clearly saw Claire's blood bring Noah back from the dead after getting shot in the head. No to mention Adam's death back in Feudal Japan when the gun powder tent exploded.
Oh wait; did I also forget how Peter came back from his fatal "glass in the head" wound brought on by Sylar? What about Claire waking up in the morgue after having a wooden spike removed from her brain? I think it may be that the blood is the secret sauce that keeps those Heroes regenerating and that if one of them were to lose their head they would regenerate as soon as the head was stuck back on their neck. Unless their body was allowed to decompose to the point where there was no more blood that is.
Speaking of Sylar, I'm taking the "tick-tock" noise we hear to be an indicator that he has his powers back. He was likely being fed the same pills Peter was on and the drugs have now worn off.
Why has he not killed Maya yet? Well, he does not need to. I think Sylar may have learned that he can gain more by having other Heroes on his side rather than by just stealing their powers.
What about Micah's cousin? Didn't she watch that wrestling show (among other combat arts)? Why didn't she go all "superfly girl" on those guys when they caught her in the house? Not only that but why did she not leave the house the same way she got in, out the WINDOW!!!
All I can say is "meh, why did I stay up to watch this?"
- Looking for Heroes on the web?
- Heroes continues to impress
- Heroes - It’s all Hiro’s fault!
- Heroes is over
- Heroes is back!
Yeah, it was a little disappointing. HRG got killed and came back within one episode and by next week he’ll already be reunited with his family. Too rushed.
I think the key is decapitation rather than just severe head wound. That seemed like heavy foreshadowing for how someone will die, but I don’t think that’s how we’ll see Adam go.
I’m glad Sylar is getting back in the game and finally got rid of half of the annoying sibling storyline. I hadn’t thought of your point that he could be trying to build an army ala Magneto to be an evil side of the fight. That’d be cool.
Micah’s cousin storyline is painfully weak too. So she’s a knock off of Matrix style “learn a new trick through uploading”. Then, like you said, she did nothing. Bleh.
Any guesses on who will be the two heroes to die? It’s also strange how they keep saying “final episodes” like the series is ending rather than just this half of the season (or maybe the whole season).
With the writers strike going on this may be the end of season two!
I would hate to see Adam killed off so soon but I also can not see them killing of Peter (the ‘good’ Sylar) nor can I see them killing off Hiro (the fan favorite). I guess they can kill off Maya (and be done with the siblings) and Veronica Mars but that is about it. Well, they could kill off West too.
I heard a nasty rumor that one of the blonds will sacrifice her life for another hero. The other one is a total guess for me.
[...] have started strong and then dropped off rapidly in later seasons. Ahem, I’m looking at you Heroes and Lost. That’s my guess though on what we’ll see happen. Maybe both of you viewers [...]
I was wondering if they were decapitated would they grow a body back like a starfish does. And only thing I have seen that stopped the regeneration was something within the brain matter such as the glass shard or wooden spike..
That would of been wicked waking up with your chest peeled open like that and organs removed…
Also the bringing HRG back from the dead was so transparent as soon as he was shot I knew that was the outcome..
2 weeks back I LOVED when HRG tied elle down and hosed her down so she shocked the hell out of herself..
A lot of Heros does seem rushed this year.. They have a huge storyline and trying to reach somewhat of a resolution before winter break.. Won’t be back until Lat Jan and maybe later with writers strike. (typical TV run 2.5 months.. Repeat what you just saw then do new stuff & repeat)
