Heroes Season 1(#16)---2/19/07-'UNEXPECTED'

[LightPhoenix]

This is the first time Mohinder has seen or heard about the chopped topped bodies. He has no idea that it is Sylar's trademark. He has no idea Sylar steals powers either.

This would be true, except the first thing Mohinder said when he saw Dale's body was aaaaaagh, followed by something along the lines of "Sylar did this." He's obviously familiar with Sylar's motif, even if he doesn't know exactly why Sylar does it.

Also, I'd have to rewatch the scenes, but the FBI guy may have said something to Mohinder, or HRG might have.

This seems like the incident that puts Isaac back on the road to drugs. There's nothing like a major set back like killing someone to drive you back to a bad habit for comfort.

Hey did anyone get a flashback of Neo during the Peter/Isaac fight.

Woah

Loved the episode. Best one yet, in my opinion.

I loved Peter/Claude and the fight on the rooftop. When they flew away, I'll admit that I actually cheered.

I like the Backup Trio -- Wireless is a great character, Sprague has awesome potential, and Matt is a great character trapped in crap storylines. And it's about time we finally get some answers from the Ambiguously Evil Dad.

I have to say, Bore-hinder is really getting to me lately, though. He's SUCH an idiot. He knows Sylar is after powered individuals. He knows that his buddy "Zane" made the world's creepiest speech about destiny right before the woman turned up dead. And -- coincedentally -- he's now having horrific headaches. This, my fellow ENWorlders, is the world's dumbest geneticist. Not to mention his powers of super-boredom... anyone who can make SYLAR boring by proximity is a powered individual in their own right.

Hiro and Ando were great. They closed out the unnecessary plotline in Vegas, actually had some character development, and proved that Hiro's only real problem is a lack of confidence in his powers since Charlie died. I really, really hope that Hiro gets in trouble in the next episode or two and Ando shows up at the last minute to save him -- with no powers. Hiro needs a lesson in what it means to be a hero, even if you're not a Hero.

And no Niki/ikiN! Glorious!

 

[Hand of Evil]

What about the gun battle between Hope and the Marshall, freaking funny.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Strong episode, but it really underscores to me that Peter won't live past the end of the season. He just makes everyone else superfluous.

 

[The Grumpy Celt]

I haven't seen a few enworld regulars on in some time....

(Grumpy whistles in a non-chalant manner while shoving a brain into his buffle bag).

I don't think Peter could have healed Simone. The healing power was also person, never something that could be projected. Peter got it from claire, but that is not to say he or the cheerleader could have used it to save Simone.

 

[Ed_Laprade]

As everyone else has said, great episode. But I really wanted to see Claire get that lightbulb moment just after she shouted about what he'd done to 'mom'. That would have been followed immediately by continuing with the suggestion the nurse/doctor gave her. "You hit her!" With half a dozen witnesses he'd be in deep kimchee. Of course, then we wouldn't have the confrontation with the B Team. Guess you can't have everything. But poor Matt. He's just digging a deeper and deeper hole for himself. I want to like him, but he's such a shmuck!

Oh yeah, and no Nikki/Jessica. Yea!

 

[LightPhoenix]

I was rewatching the episode, and I think Peter actually used The Voice on Isaac when they fought. After Peter says, "Don't lie to me," Isaac immediately starts answering Peter's questions honestly.

Woah

OR ...

It's the point where Peter uses Hiro's ability to reverse time and undoes what has been done.

I think this the most likely result.

 

[Michael Silverbane]

I really dug this episode (which I did not get to watch until tonight, incidentally, it was quite difficult to avoid coming to this thread to see what people had to say before watching the show, but I'm glad I did).

A few things...

Re: Mohinder and Sylar: I don't think that Sylar is going to be able to pull the woll over Mohinder's eyes for much longer. It seems like during a couple of their dialogues, Mohinder was getting a serious creepy vibe from Sylar. Particularly in the conversation in front of their Motel rooms... You could just see Mohinder thinking, "Oh, crap, this guy is a lunatic. Maybe I should ditch him."

Re: Peter and Claude: These guys really had a great reparte going, and I hope that Claude comes back. He's just about my favorite character and I giggle like a schoolgirl whenever he says or does something coldhearted.

Re: Peter and Issaac: This was just about my least favorite part of the show (aside from the adverts, which I happily Tivo'ed past). I thought that Peter was acting seriously out of character during this scene. Only Issaac whirling around recklessly with the gun (and, you had to know that he was going to shoot someone that he didn't mean to as soon as he started doing that, its dramatics 101) saved the scene for me.

On the other hand, Peter was channeling Claude and (possibly, its hard to tell if he was using TK to knock things around or was just doing so invisibly) Sylar at the time... And its hard to say how, "In tune" with these folks he has to be to use their powers. it could be that he picks up some personality traits of those he's emulating the powers of, in which case, that scene makes a lot more sense.
