Heroes Season 1(#14)---2/05/07-'DISTRACTIONS'

[DonTadow]

Or Mr. Bennet could have kidnapped peter at some point and had Hana and Ted in the facilities nearby.

BTW Congrats on calling it right Grumpy. I thought that someone with a superhero cache was just too powerful.

Hey, waht did Mr. Bennet's wife say she called him. I could have sworn she said a first name.

Also, why didn't Sylar kill Mr. Bennet. He killed Eden with no problem, and seemed to be about to kill the wife with no problem either.

Hiro's dad is played by George Takei, who played Lt Sulu in the original Star Trek series. NCC-1701 is the registration number of the USS Enterprise.

I knew who Tekei is and was, I'm just not a big Star Trek fan to know the reg number of the Enterprise

Also, why didn't Sylar kill Mr. Bennet. He killed Eden with no problem, and seemed to be about to kill the wife with no problem either.

He probably wanted to 'punish' Mr. B for locking him up. And showing him what a badass he is by basically saying: "You aren't worth the effort to kill."

Ok. I'm surprised. I didn't say anything earlier about this because I seem to spend so much time bashing the whole Nikki subplot. BUT, was I the only one who said WTF when she got sprung from jail? She'd just killed, or at least seriously beat up on, the arrogent shrink. (Thumbs up to Jessica for that, even if it was a really stupid thing to do.) So there is No Freakin' Way that Linderman's mouthpiece could have gotten her out. Period. (And what were those marks all over the shrink, anyway?)

Also, why would he bother? He must have plenty of hookers on his payroll who would be happy to do whatever he wanted for a lot less than what it must have cost him to spring her. Oh yeah, and getting her out against her will cancels her obligation to him in my book. (And if she really didn't want to go, why didn't she kick fatso in the nads and then go after the guards?)

Speaking of that, how is it that she's been beaten repeatedly with billy clubs, especially in the head, without ever showing even the slightest effect. (Other than getting knocked out.) No bruises, no concussion, no nothing.

Edit: One other thing. I was very annoyed that Syler had Eden's Voice after she delberately blew her brains out precisely to keep him from getting it. That cheapens her death for me. Grumble...

 

[DonTadow]

Those marks were tasar marks.

 

[Fast Learner]

The marks on the shrink were burn marks from the taser.

The shrink wasn't arrogant at all, she was pushing Nikki because that's what you have to do sometimes. People who really need help but are afraid of it and won't be coaxed have to be pushed sometimes. She was doing a good job, other than underestimating Jessica's power, but then who would suspect actual super-strength?

Huh!? I didn't get that at all. What scene showed this to be so?

 

[Flexor the Mighty!]

So Linderman has so much pull he can the charges against her dropped after she brutally assaults a shrink in the holding cell? That scene kind of broke me out of my suspension of disbelief. Overall the rest was fine though.

 

[The Grumpy Celt]

He must have plenty of hookers on his payroll who would be happy to do whatever he wanted for a lot less than what it must have cost him to spring her.

I do not think he is looking for a hooker. I think he has deduced she is a Hero and that is why he is interested in her now. Linderman may also know about her husbands powers as well.

That said, I also found Linderman’s power off putting, story wise. Jesikki committed multiple murders, confessed to them, attacked guards and the shrink. And Linderman still frees her. That seemed strange.

There seem to be no limits to his power. I wonder (if and) when we met him, it will be revealed he is also some kind of Hero.

Unless, of course, Linderman is really the T-Rex. (I’m gonna drive that one into the ground)

I"m really hoping that this is explained before the end of this season. I found it pretty unbelievable too. The death row thing is simple (pay off someone's family who is already going to get the death penalty).

But she recently killed? the shrink and repeatedly beat up all of the guards.

 

[drothgery]

Anyone else thing Mr. Sulu let Hiro go way too easily? I mean, the kid's planning to steal a historic artifact, tells him about it, and after Hiro convinces his dad that his sister is better at running the company, he just flies back to Tokyo like nothing happened?
