Heroes Season 1(#20)---4/30/07-'(Five Years Gone)String Theory'

[Thornir Alekeg]

OK, the episode was just full of paradox, but overall I loved it.


On another note, it has been a while since a TV show infected my dreams like last nights episode did. My most vivid one was that Sylar got to Wireless, took her power and was using it to hack into EN World and close down threads like this one to prevent people from figuring out how to stop him.

And if Sylar did kill Claire - that does not mean that Peter would not have got that power. Peter meets Sylar. When he does - he takes all the powers that Sylar has. That's the way Peter works.

So Sylar killing Claire does not prevent Peter from getting Claire's healing abiliy from Sylar.

Except that Peter has to meet Sylar, and it's less certain that would've happened if Peter hadn't been sent to save the cheerleader. It's also unclear how much awareness Peter has of his powers - it seems like he's now automatically "aware" when he gains a power, but he didn't know how to turn them on for quite awhile.

Maybe got Mica (sp) too! We know he got DL or was that LD, Nikki's Husband.

My impression was that Sylar was using Bennett to round up the heroes. So anyone that Bennett hid - Candace, DL, Molly, and whomever Sylar took.

Micah, on the other hand, died in the bomb, according to Future Peter.

I liked the episode a lot.

I do have some issues with general direction though.

I think it was a complete and utter cop-out to have Sylar be Nathan. I think it would mean a lot more if, for Peter, stopping the bomb didn't just mean saving his brother's life, but in a sense redeeming him, saving him from a life where he turns evil.

Furthermore, I hate Candace's ability, because now any time someone is acting out of character, or strange, or evil, it's someone with Illusion. It's an easy out whenever they want to retcon something. My prediction is, just to keep it from getting out of hand, Candace dies by the end of the season.

Prediction: Ando stabs Peter and dies that way.

If he had control over Bennett it would have meant that he knew where Claire was the hold time and there would be no need for Matt to read Bennett's mind.

That is not exactly true, Matt and the Hatian were acting out of character and they were not an illusion

It seems like the key hero Sylar wanted was Claire. He pretty much said that when he finally caught her. So my thought is you keep him from finding Claire either you let her die in the fire, or put a branch in her head.

 

[Arnwyn]

What a fantastic episode. Now, I despise time-traveling nonsense as much as the next guy, but when it comes to superhero stuff I'll let it pass - as long as everything else is as good as we saw in last night's Heroes.

I particularly liked Peter throwing people around with his TK and Future Hiro using his katana - and the guards looking rather surprised at their entrance.

 

[Alzrius]

I just realized something a little while ago. The little girl, Molly, that they were talking about in the preview for next week's episode - we've seen her before. She was the little girl Matt found hidden away at the scene of one of Sylar's massacres; the same girl that Sylar later made a failed attempt to get while she was in FBI custody.

Maybe that was obvious to some other people, but I just now put two and two together. It's really cool that they're tying plot threads together like that, though.
