Heroes Season 1(#17)---2/26/07-'Company Man'

[Hand of Evil]

Wow, I didn't think about him because I thought he was dead.

You may be thinking Roddy, the Planet of the Ape's and iconic sci-fi guy and every movie ever.

Don't get me wrong, this was a terriffic episode. I really want to see where they go with HRG now...in this episode he became an extremely sympathetic villain. Without

his memories of Claire

, will we still see these glimmers of goodness in him, or does he become a monster?

I think he only requested him to remove the memories of who he gave him to and what him and the Hatian had discussed about what to do with her. I don't think they

wiped her out completely

Oh...my frakkin', by the heavens. How deep can this go?

The black&whites were well done, the past flashes were brilliant. And it shows, the rise of the homo-superior was being monitered for decades, maybe.

The full circle of Mr.Bennet, at the bridge...was FRAKKIN' poetic!!!!

Guys...topping the season ending, with a pic layout, will be hard...but I am up for it.

-Wiping away the tears, still-

There were quite a few posts over on kryptonsite (in the HEROES forum) that Malcom McDowell had been confirmed as Linderman.

The next revelation will be that Linderman's first name is Alex. I guess he and his droogs are still out causing trouble, even all grown up.

I will kindly ask...to refrain from posting pre-night vewing of the show. Since this thread is made specifically for Monday night showing.

If you don't mind, for the future.

Thank You.

A great episode! I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet (the local network showed it exceptionnally last night). But we get great revelations.

Spoilers:

Now we know why Claude was thought dead.

This does put HRG in a better light, though, as a sort-of good guy. His motivations were always a bit unclear, but at least now we know he thought he was doing the right thing, even if that meant bending rules (i.e., «morally grey» acts). Although now, with Claire gone, I wonder how much the Haitian wiped from his memory... just the "rescue of Claire", or more? Will he truly believe he works for a paper factory? hehe.

Hopefully Ted won't be MIA for too long; I really like his character. His power demonstrations were really cool.

And what will happen to Matt? They can't wipe his memory anymore, so will he become a willing parter to Mr. Bennett? Or will they just keep him there.

We'll have to see. If they did, innit the most tragic thing EVER?

 

[Hand of Evil]

I am now wondering about the building that seems to be centered around so much. Bennett getting Clair-Bear there, it has to be important, a front maybe, like the paper plant?

 

[Ed_Laprade]

I liked it a lot too. But upon reflection there were a number of things that bother me. Basically, the whole ending was just plain stupid on Mr. B's part. Sure it was all dramatic and thematic and stuff, but it was still stupid. What's the point of the Haitian wiping his memories? If he only goes back a few hours Mr. B can figure out what he did with no real effort. If he goes back far enough to erase his memory of Claire having a power this is a flare-lit tipoff to his boss that he did know about it all along. And, of course, Matt still knows about it. Basically, the implied memory wipe was totally pointless.

And having the incident take place on the same bridge that he killed Claude... Oh wait, he didn't kill Claude. Unless his boss is a total moron he's gonna think long and hard about that one! (Not at all sure about this, as I didn't think about it until later, but was he travelling in the same direction on the bridge both coming from and going to the Secret HQ?)

I was also extreamly annoyed at his boss for showing up at exactly the worst possible moment and doing something stupid. And then doing something stupider by not finishing Ted off when he went out of control. "Gee, guess I'll just stand here and watch as he blows up half the state." Yeah, right.

Of course, I didn't think of most of this until much later. But still...

 

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

Great Episode. Heroes is definitely my favourite new show coming out this TV season...

Great episode. However, why would the Company let go of Ted after they had captured him? That man is such an obvious danger. Like letting a nuclear bomb out.

He was giving off just a little bit radiation. Apparently, they didn't see that the strength of his power would increase vastly.
