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

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.

Oh, hmmm. The downside of being an empath, perhaps...

I loved the episode as well. Anyone else notice that Claude Rains is the name of the actor that played The Invisible Man in the 1933 film? Nice reference if you ask me.

This is how Eccleston introduces himself to Peter. "I'm Claude Rains, The Invisible Man". It's an intentional alias, not an easter egg.

A good episode. Much more cohesive and fast-paced than the previous ones.

And I noticed Jeff Loeb was credited as writer. How long's he been on the team?

 

[Truth Seeker]

Man...talk about the misses!!

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

 

[Truth Seeker]

And I have to say...that picture of Hiro, that was put up. Was by chance...and behold. A new power revealed itself.

What new power was revealed? Hiro froze the bullet in time then sent it back.

Did I miss something else?

That was it, he can reverse time of objects in the time stream. This was neat to me because it means each and every object has its on time sub-stream, Hiro can adjust that without change to space time as a whole, moving ojects forward or back, not just himself.

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.

Thank You. I too thought it was a bit of a sudden jump to "Dark Pheter". Angry at Isaac for the mistaken indiscretion, sure, but it was a little over the top. I would have rather still seen a little more of sympathetic Peter trying to make sense of what went on the rooftop last week. Then the final scene could have pushed him toward Dark Pheter (death of a loved one giving rise to super-powered rampage - Comicbook 101.)

Overall I really liked the episode. Bus-driver Stan Lee made me laugh out loud. Was this his first cameo in a non-Marvel superhero movie/series?

Peter has always been very emotional and sometimes not very rational. He tends to over react to situations at times. One that comes to mind is when he shows up at Nathan's house when they have the reporter over for brunch. He was pretty unrational (sp) with his brother about their powers, threatening to go out and fly around the patio. Then he sits at the table and covers for his brothers affair.

Exactly, Peter isn't the most emotionally stable person. I don't think its any stretch at all for him to lose control like that.
