Heroes Season 1(#19)---4/23/07-'.07%'

Glad I'm not the only one who thought Linderman's plan was a bit... familiar. Especially with the "old gang" he mentioned.

LOL hey I still ove the storyline. It's not comic book original (or even tv show original) but its still a favorite storyline. Great episode. i"m so glad this show is back.

Did she actually admit to Claire that she had powers too? I seem to remember Claire assuming Grandma Petrelli had powers "like her", but G-ma just smiled grimly in response.

Grandma sure does know an awful lot though . . . does she know Linderman plans on sacrificing Peter?

We do know that Grandpa Petrelli (may he rest in peace) DIDN'T have powers, but knew Linderman from Vietnam . . . that is, if you check out the online graphic novels!

(yeah, and none of that "the graphic novels aren't canon" crap, they're released by NBC on the main site and are a part of the ongoing story . . . not required reading by any means but definitely sheds light into the corners of the Heroes universe)

Yes, she did say she had a power. During her conversation she mentions how they tried to to use their powers to save the world before. I don't think we've seen her powers. I think she just knows that the powers are hereditary. I was hoping to see her powers though.

This is the first episode that I didn't really like too much. Well, it's not that I didn't necessarily like it, but it certainly was up to par with some of the other recent episodes.

Steel pointed out most of the things I caught too that were head-scratchers to me.

But I also the acting overall was weak. For some reason Peter really bothered me in this episode. His scenes with Nathan felt really forced.

I don't know. Maybe I've been waiting so long for Heroes to return and now I'm being overly critical.

Was I the only one who felt that future Hiro's "YOU" was slightly threating towards present day Hiro? And he did not exactly drop his sword either.

Was I the only one who felt that future Hiro's "YOU" was slightly threating towards present day Hiro? And he did not exactly drop his sword either.

I thought he sounded angry, but I took it to be literally angry with himself, his past self that is, for not stopping the destruction of New York.

I also figure the sketchbook was the 'message to the future'.

Did she actually admit to Claire that she had powers too? I seem to remember Claire assuming Grandma Petrelli had powers "like her", but G-ma just smiled grimly in response.

I'll have to check my DVR to confirm, but I think her response to Claire's question was to smile mysteriously and say "I've made mistakes in the past" and "that kind of life is no good for you".

She doesn't confirm that she has powers herself, just that she's been caught up in the power scene. And, I think, strongly implied that it was Daddy that had powers. Which, I think, strongly implies that Linderman is Daddy (hence the "mistake").

I agree that Linderman taking Micah just did him in. DL and Jessica will put aside their differences and tear his organization apart. Plus, Micah himself can do serious damage when he realizes he's been kidnapped. PLUS, per the online novel, Wireless is looking for a way into Linderman's systems. Micah is that way in. Linderman goes down in flames, probably of the nuclear variety.

One last thing that ocurred to me: Sylar with Isaac's power. Isaac's power has always been tricky because it provides snapshot images of the future, with no frame of reference as to how and when they fit together. Sylar's original power is the ability to see how things fit together...

A very enjoyable episode.

Dumb, though, in that Mohinder left Sylar alive. The writers should have come up with something better.

I did like the fight between Sylar and Peter, though - the first real fight between "Heroes" in this show, so I thought it was pretty good.

 

[Dire Bare]

Do we? At what point was his memory wiped? How far back? I just get the feeling that this is all part of the 'plan'.

So, what are the odds Linderman is Nathan's and Peter's father.

Also, what about Hiro, why did Linderman want to keep him away from the sword in prior shows? I take this to mean there is still a chance things can change.

I also wonder IF Sylar also got Isaac's addiction, possible weakness.

Hmm, sometimes I think fans just try to complicate stories with "theories" sometimes . . .

My "theories", based on the concept of Occam's Razor, are:

1) Linderman is NOT Nathan and Peter's father, but simply a friend and colleage with their father. Also Petrelli Sr also DOES NOT have any powers . . . but does fit into Linderman's plans . . .

In the latest graphic novel, we see Linderman approaching Petrelli Sr to begin "the plan", with little Nathan playing in the background.

2) Mom Petrelli DOESN'T have any powers. But she's been involved with Linderman and this supers mess for almost as long as her children have been alive. And she's a crafty, domineering control freak of a mother . . .

3) WHY does Linderman not want Hiro to have the sword? Well, duh. He, like many people, doesn't like having his property stolen! Why do we need some special explanation when the obvious works just fine? What, was Hiro supposed to ask nicely for the priceless historical artifact and Linderman respond, "Sure, why not? Go ahead and take it!"

Like any theories on this show, I could be way off base. Anything can happen. It's quite possible it will be revealed that Mom and/or Dad Petrelli do have powers. But let's not try to overly complicate things with zany theories!

 

[Truth Seeker]

Well, I like the current theme...you can't fight the future.
