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

[Umbran]

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.

I think it would be really, really cheap for them to allow Peter that power before Hiro is able to do it himself. Hiro tried like the devil to reverse Charlie's death, and failed, leading to the crisis of self-confidence that has nigh robbed him of his powers.

If they have Peter just whip that off like it was easy, they'll just need to kill Peter, because he'll be the worst sort of munchkin for stealing other character's thunder.

I think that may have to happen anyway, as WD stated. He makes the rest of them pretty much unnecessary. I see him and Sylar killing each other.

I don't think that's likely, considering that actress Tawny Cypress has talked about her character's death.

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.

Considering when his brother didn't believe him, he went and jumped off of a roof? No, it's not a stretch at all.

Nathan and Peter are pretty much polar opposites. Nathan is all logic and no emotion, and Peter is all emotion and no logic.

What you said made me think that perhaps Peter can only absorb emerged powers. Peter couldn't fly (in a life or death situation) when he jumped off the roof but his brother could. It wasn't until then that Peter could fly, despite having been around his brother all his life.

 

[Pyrex]

That's be best hour 40-odd minutes of TV I've seen in a long time. I hope they stay this good.

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.

That's not new. He did that the very first episode. He just hasn't done it since.

In other words, if the original person doesn't know they can do it, Peter can't learn it? I like that theory a lot, it completely fits with him being an empath.

Hmm. You appear to be correct -assuming that report and her season ending reappearance is not a permanent one.

I'm rather glad they are getting rid of Simone. There just did not seem a place to be able to take her character.

I hope Nikki is next to buy the farm - although I don't mind if Jessica is developed not as a sometimes dark-sided counter of a heroine, but the more or less permanent disposition of one of the show's villains.

Nikki as a heroine seems just a poor character in this show to date; Jessica as a villain is, however, far more interesting and a preferred course.

The show certainly is going to need more villains. Sylar can't carry the role alone. Linderman...well I'll guess we see when we get there.

 

[Fast Learner]

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

That's what I figured, until HRG actually referred to him as Claude when talking to HG. They'd surely use whatever name they know him as, so if it's an alias, it's a really old one that HRG somehow fell for.

Eh. Without Nikki as counterpoint as what she could be instead, Jessica is just a thug. That's not interesting in the slightest (to me,anyway).

it completely fits with him being an empath.

I dont think Peter is an "empath" in that sense, simply because that's not the sense in which most folk understand the word. In common parlance, "empathy" is the ability to sense emotions. While one Star Trek epsiode took it somewhat further, it really doesn't mean "the ability to copy various aspects of other people" to most folks. The show is written with teh broad audience in mind, so I doubt they'd go that route.
