Heroes...Season 1--10/16/06 Esp#4

[Brown Jenkin]

Maybe I've missed a few scenes, but why has Mojinder become disillusioned anyway? Did he figure out that his girlfriend was a plant by Evil Nerdy Father yet (another surefire "surprise")?

I am going with bad writing. On the train Mojinder and Peter are talking and next to each other when Hiro stops time and pops in. When he pops out and time starts again Peter is on the other end of the car and from Mojinders point of view he would have just teleported. Yet Mojinder instead goes from partial believing to utter sckepticism instead. It seems the writers want him to remain in the dark despite his desire to believe his father. Not a bad idea but it is poor writing to stick him in situations where he has to remain blind to what is going on around him. Other than this I am mostly enjoying the show.

When her neck was broken, it spun around and set itself (something that accelerated cellular regeneration alone wouldn't accomplish), so I have to vote for "not consistent".

I would think that nothing is there to get in the way of the healing, and she still has control of her muscels she turned her own neck around.

Hiro said something like, "I'm risking a time rift..." A time rift? How would he know that could happen unless he's caused one? And I was pretty disappointed when Peter didn't use Hiro's time stop power to convince Mohinder. I mean, Peter already suspects he uses other people's powers, he said as much to Mohinder, then later finished Isaac's painting.

I think that for Peter to mimic others powers he must be close to them. Since Hiro moved away from him he could not use his power.

I'm guessing that he's probably ed up the time stream multiple times previously in order to figure this out.

So you think Peter has to be near the other person at the time he manifests the power? I was kinda thinking that once he was near them them he could manifest their power for a short time even if they left. I was thinking about when he was in the hospital and drew the picture of himself hovering. Isaac didn't seem to be anywhere around. Maybe it lingers for a while if he touches the person.

True. It would be cool if we get to see some of those mess ups, though.

Yeah I forgot about that he dre that at the hospital. You may be right in that lingers for a bit, even after close contact. Maybe the longer he is near the others the more time he has their ability?

I think it's inevitable that we're going to see Hiro enthusiastically get into all sorts of trouble.

If your neck is completely twisted around, then your spinal is severed, thus preventing muscular action.

 

[Piratecat]

I'm totally blanking on when Peter mimicked Isaac's powers, and am wondering if I somehow missed part of an episode. When was it, anyone remember?

Nikki's tattoo is very specific. It is echoed in some of the first paintings we see by Isaac, but it's actually the coincidental pattern that the genetic data makes when Mohinder scans it from the thumb drive. In other words, it's the embodiment of "super" - it's the symbol for what makes them unique.

Mentioned in another thread, but a spoiler about Sylar:
