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

[LightPhoenix]

I recall reading that the plan was always to kill off a specific character, but contract issues with that actor/actress have caused them to accelerate that part of the storyline.

That was Nora Zehetner (likely spelled wrong), who played Eden. At least, according to the sources that reported that in the first place.

Note: IF Sylar has Eden's voice power, it does push the theory that he is an eater of the brains...mmmm.

And apparently can injest them either like a grapefruit or like scrambled eggs

Actually, I think the mistaken "Eden Voice" was the point where Sylar went from his "Aw, shucks ma'am" voice as a paper company employee he was using on Mrs. B back to his natural voice when he dropped the charade.

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?

That's what I say. What father would just let his sone run off after he tells him "Dad it's my destiny to save the world"

This has already happened, [sblock]Eden has died a few episodes back[/sblock]

I was implying some else will die. I knew about that death. Newscaster specificly said in the coming episodes.

How'd ya figure that? Nothing in the episode gave me the idea that Sylar now has Eden's powers. Did I miss something?

After he threw Mrs. Bennet into the china cabinet, as he stood over her he said something in a different voice. It was not exactly like Edens, but that was the first thought that occured to me as well.

 

[The Grumpy Celt]

I don't know what Hiro told his father he was going to steal the sword, just that he was going to get it. And I think the situation with Hiro's father was abrupt was because of poor writing, not totally unseen plotting on the part of Hiro father.

No sign was presented to clue the audience in to plotting on the part of Mr. Nakamura, nor to the possession of super powers by Mr. Nakamura or Kimiko. Compared that to the introduction of Meredith, who while on the phone with Claire – out of Claire sight but before the audience – lit a cigarette with her pyrokenetic powers. Then she calls Michael – out of Claire sight but before the audience – revealing him to be Claire’s father.

Nothing like that happened with Mr. Nakamura or Kimiko. They never demonstrated any powers, regardless of whether or not Hiro was around, and they never engaged in any plotting while Hiro was not around.

This may be changed later. We may see Mr. Nakamura, Kimiko or both, possess powers of some kind. But to date they just waltzed on and then off stage.

And I think Sylar’s success was due to gullibility on the part of Mrs. Bennett, not that Sylar used The Voice. He was just being sinister.

More than likely it was editing that made it seem that way, not writing.

I speak Japanese pretty well, and the translating for what Hiro and company were saying was fairly accurate, so I'm pretty sure he did say he was going to steal it.

On a humorous note, Ando's saying "Your sister is hot," was interpreted slightly loosely. He actually said "Your big sister is super-sexy."

You need to work at NBC, now!

Last episode, Mr. Sulu's men said that his father had been keeping an eye on him. I"m thinking this will maintain. The reasoning is 'flimsy' but they are trying to make sulu as a man out whom only cares about an heir for the company.

That whole piece of dialogs is a bit wonky. Sulu begins by saying he's embarrassed about his son and thats the problem, but the solutions seems to be make your daughter a vp. Well that still doesn't solve the embarrassment of his son.

However, i will take this as opposed to a long drawn out side story where hiro tries to get back to the us without his powers.
