[QUOTE="Felon, post: 4516289, member: 8158"] If he had a gun or a knife, he probably would have tried to use it. Not having a quick and sure means to kill, Adam did what a lot of scared folks do: he tried to run. That's not exactly a hard explanation to come up with. I'm starting to agree with the folks who feel this show gets picked apart a little too much. Darned if they do, darned if they don't. Leave Adam sitting in a box, and he's a loose end. Pull him out of the box and kill him off, and it's a stupid death. However, I fully agree that this show definitely has the feel that everything is being made up on the spur of the moment. They build up certain elements to be a big deal, and then they cop out when they can't think of a way to deliver, or come up with a newer, cooler idea. Adam is a good example of this. The character had his little world-destruction plan last year, and it fizzled. Nothing more to be done with him. He's not powerful enough to be an arch-nemesis or to be a good foe for Hiro. Employing the powers of meta-gaming that I've finely honed over the years, I get the feeling Adam is now retconned to the role of backstabbing lieutenent who tried to do in the beloved leader. Think Starscream to Patrelli's Megatron. We know the Haitian's powers are mental in nature. Most likely, he simply blocks you from accessing the part of your brain that activates the abilities. I don't think that World's Tallest Man would suddenly shrink in his presence, unless the guy had to consciously maintain his height. [/QUOTE]
