Agreed. Considering that Hiro was one of the highlights of the past 2 seasons for me, this is disappointing. Also, while not a fan of Mohinder in general, I'm really not liking this whole "I'm a spider-man predator now" bit. What just about everyone in this show needs, but Mohinder...

Economic crisis or no, I gots no money, so I buys no books. Any discretionary budget I may have had got distilled, and poured into the gas tank of my car. Ironically, with the dropping gas prices due to the wall street meltdown, I've almost gotten caught up enough on the bills to get...

Do we ever see Future Peter actually use Claire's power? Future Peter's defining physical characteristic is that scar, which would have healed if he was regenerating. I'm thinking Future Peter doesn't have Claire's power anymore. Hence, bullets to the chest have their desired effect.

Again, it's all going to depend on how Residuum is obtained in the first place. In the 4E rules-as-written, you get Residuum by disenchanting magic items you don't want/can't use. Does it work the same way in this world? Is this the ONLY way to get it? The source of Residuum has a huge...

Interestingly, when we had the episode from the first season that did exactly that, it was one of my favorite episodes. Peter and Hiro just wading through waves of mooks..."Should we stop time?" "Naw...I could use the work-out" This was cool stuff. Problem is, the whole premise of the show...

I'm not clear on exactly what Sylar can do, anymore. Did he get back all of his old powers after he lost them last season, or just his TK? What about the psychometrist he "ate" at the end of the season premiere? I thought the implication was that he'd be able to steal powers with a touch...

Is Residuum the ONLY component that will work for these fabrication rituals? Or just the easiest? Rituals, as written, have mundane components that are specific to each type of ritual, but can be replaced with Residuum which is rarer, but works with ANY ritual. If the Fabrication Rituals...

See HG Wells' The Time Machine for an example of this. The Morlocks and Eloi are perfect examples of "evolved humans" whose mental capacities degenerated as the need to use them vanished.

I can see your point, here. They COULD have used made-up words for their made-up science, but they didn't, and actual words mean actual things.

The bad science bugged me a little about the Heroes premiere, too. Another thing that bugged me...when Mohinder , he jabbed the needle directly into his arm, at about a 90 degree angle. This wouldn't have actually injected the stuff into his bloodstream (as he said earlier, that's how it's...

I liked it. Then, I didn't completely hate Season 2, either, so take from that what you will. I think Nikki/Jessica/Tracy is/are the same person. I'm beginning to suspect that her power is much the same as Sylar and Peter's; a multi-power. Sylar needs to take his powers from other people...

I'd say V's still on the cusp of neutral, but only just barely. Kubota was just as dangerous bound and captive as he was running free, or just about. He would have tied the group up in complicated legal proceedings for an indeterminate amount of time (they've already experienced the Azure City...

Since Salmon was still a work-in-progress, he was revising it. Essentially, as he was writing he realized, "y'know, this is turning out to be a Hitchhiker kind of story, not a Dirk Gently story", and was working Dirk out, and Ford Prefect in with subsequent drafts. As it is, there's no way...

Apparently, according to the article, the author feels the same way. It claims he won't be trying to write as Douglas Adams, but will be writing his own book, using the Adams characters and setting. I don't think this was needed, in any way, shape, or form, but at least they're being...

Minions have been a sticking point for me since I saw how they worked in 4e. I love the concept. I love the narrativist element of mowing through waves of weaker, story-backdrop enemies. There's all kinds of precedent in fantasy literature of all stripes. I grok this. But the implementation...

Do the Chromatics change role as they age? (Honest question...don;t have the MM handy, and I don;t recall offhand) I wonder if any of the Metallics will still have the ability to take on human form...the old man at the back of the Tavern really being a polymorphed Silver Dragon was one of my...

I think the precendent that the OP is looking for is that of the non-heroic character, placed in heroic circumstances. Watson may have had as much "special training" as, say, The Lone Ranger, but TLR is a hero who does heroic things, while Watson is a sidekick. I think the Sam Gamgee...

Even as an adaptation of Shadow Over Innsmouth, it's not exactly a faithful adaptation, is it? The question is: will it be any good in its' own right? Looks like a passably good supernatural suspense/horror conspiracy. A lot of the archetypal Lovecraftian plot points seem to be there, but I'm...

This goes on my Must Read list. The article is interesting, too. The story of how this book came to be is, in its' own way, as interesting as the book itself.

True...but this was Aang's show, not theirs. Don't forget that Katara took out a major antagonist, essentially single-handedly, while they were super-charged from the comet. Not as impressive as some of her waterbending in other episodes, but very clever, and effective. I sure hope they do...
