Heroes — Page 7

That's not exactly what he said.  We can assume that from Peter's mom's dream, but even her previous dream was changed due to Peter's actions.  I think we're going to find that there's more to it then even that.  I almost wonder if her head could've been reattached at that point.  That would make her truly immortal and "you can't die" would then be a fully true statement.

I loved the season premiere though.  I'm just wondering how Peter plans to "fix" everything.  Hiro was able to delay it, but so far no one's been able to keep it from happening (referring to Sylar and Claire).  I would think he could go back and tell himself to let Claire come to Texas, but there's no way of knowing if that'll really "fix" everything.

Did Claire really think she'd be able to shoot him at the beginning?  That scene played out exactly the way I thought it would (accept I didn't know it was at the beginning).

FanFiltration said:I loved season one, but found season two very weak, un-inventive, and much too repetitive. The whole idea of the no one can die if they get a bit of super blood takes so much away from the drama and fear of losing one of our heroes.

Yeah, I agree with you. Season two lost a lot of what made season one enjoyable. Hopefully they gain that back in season three. I only got to see the first half of last nights two part opener, but already we can see that the drama and fear of potential danger to anyone is lost entirely. It is becoming a joke, this show has more people coming back to life than a Soap Opera. It really takes away a lot IMHO. Heroes' changeable time line took this away from the very start, and the Clair blood just added to it.

At the end of season one, I really thought they were going to kill off Nathan, it made since, the guy sacrificed himself to save the world. Would have been much more effective had he really died. At the end of season 2 when they killed him off again, the first thing I thought was, "Yeah, ten minutes into season three and the guy will be perfectly healthy again."

Heroes is a pretty big rip off of just about everything else anyway, season one started off feeling like X-Men, and ended feeling like the Watchmen. Season 2 had some very obvious Watchman themes to it, especially the whole "old" heroes thing. I still enjoy the show well enough for what it is, but season two was pretty lackluster, and felt almost like season one all over again, but with different twist (S1 city destroyed by explosion; S2 destruction by plague; S3 looks like destruction by Suresh's mutant maker), I hope season three gets more interesting and original, but from the previews and what I have seen so far, doesn't seem likely...

Oh yeah, and how dumb can Suresh be? Seems like he is always doing something stupid and being an idiot.

Season 2 was pretty bad mostly due to the writer's strike.

As far as Nathan's concerned, I don't think his dying and coming back was suppose to be a huge deal.  I think the big shocker there was that Nathan was shot by Peter.  In all honesty, I thought that with the cap and jacket, Peter looked a lot like Sylar.

I'm actually starting to enjoy the changing timelines too.  It's not just "Yeah, I'll go back and change things" and then everything turns out just fine.  They seem to be borrowing a page from Eureka in the sense that everytime someone goes back and tries to "make things right" things end up being a lot different then what they expected.  I think it's getting the point across that as they try to make things better, they're actually making things worse.  Didn't the X-Men cartoon actually explore this angle when they sent Bishop back in time to save the X-Men?  And what What if? series did the same when someone tried to go back and kill Magneto.

So, did anybody catch last nights episode?

I did. Not really liking this season much, not as bad as too, but still lost what little I liked about season one. Sylar being Nathan and Peter's brother is pretty lame, the show is worse than Star Wars in the "every one is related" aspect.

I'm so glad they got rid of that anoying little girl, and also the flying boyfriend from season 2!

Hmm, How did Future Claire kill future Peter? - Peter is as Immortal, like the highlander :)  Unless something happened in the missing 4 years but they certainly didn't explain it, unless I missed something.

He's died several times onscreen and ALWAYS bounced back...

EDIT: Nevermind, I'd forgot the haitian was there!

Who's got a crackpot Mohinder theory? i'm betting he's either become Mohinder the lizard for real or something akin to Uluru :)

Funny that Sylar is finally normal when the rest of the world is so messed up.

Didn't Past Peter push past the Haitian on his way to running away from Future Claire?  Even if that was the case, wouldn't Future Peter's wounds heal as soon as the Haitian got too far away?

And I used to like Future Peter.  We'll one of them.  The one from the first season, namely, when we got a glimpse of his full potentianal in his battle against Future Sylar/Nathan.  Poor guy though, always having that scar...  Wonder when he'll get it, because it looks pretty unavoidable.

EDIT: Of course, as soon as I "Reply with Quote" you change it and make me look like an idiot.  My point of him still being able to heal still stands, as Claire died in the first season for a while until they took the stick out of her skull.

That is a very good point, seems like they'd need to keep the Haitian next to him all the time, or cut off his head, oor something along those lines. It has always been very interesting how Peter has the scar, has to be something pretty unique for it not to have healed.

Why not just leave the bullet in his head?  Claire was dead until the stick was removed, so I see no reason to believe that future Peter won't be dead until the bullet is removed.  And they have no reason to remove the bullet.

So, am I the only one who feels that Heroes has jumped the shark in a bad way?

Not only is the story line failing, but aggravatingly, so many threads from last season seem to have just been forgotten or ignored this season. I guess the writers strike could be blamed for it, but it feels like lazy story telling to me. Heroes always has kept a lot of balls in the air at one time, but in season one they did a good of bringing each story to a close, season two left a lot of gaps, and season three has yet to comment on them, it feel like the writers have already grown bored with them and decided to move on.

Glad to see Malcom McDowell back on the show though, though his role is pretty small, feels like they just wanted to squeeze him back on the show and so wrote in a part for him. Which is fine with me, as he is awesome.

Well at least Heroes jumped the shark, but did not nuke the fridge,lol.

I still remember that shark jumping from happy days, lol. fonzi ayyyyy!

Hey, that is a great new replacement line for "jumped the shark"!

"Man, did you see that last episode of Lost? Dude, that show has really nuked the fridge!"

I gotta say, I'm actually gonna use that.
