Heroes Season 1(#22)---5/14/07-'Landslide'

...they didn't knock him unconscious because they wanted him to scream like all previous Sylar victims.

yeah, I'm waiting for Sylar to run into a Banshee/Siren-type character... (sonic screaming powers...)...ouch for mr sensitive hearing!

I think we know how Ando's supposed to die - Isaac's comic shows him lying on the ground, twisted and broken as if by Sylar's TK.

As for Ted not unleashing radioactive hell... I think people are overlooking the simplest explanation.
Ted has no clue what Sylar looks like. He doesn't know Sylar just flipped over the van. As far as he's concerned, he'd just been in a car crash, he's badly hurt, and given his recent behavior might actually be concentrating on not using his powers because he's afraid he'll hurt a lot of random people. Then someone cuts his head open. The end.

Even if Peter told him off-screen what Sylar looks like, and that he can use TK, it's gotta be pretty hard to connect the dots when injured and hanging upside down by your shackles. (Wait... Do those spinning guys have really bushy eyebrows...? Oh my God, they must be...! Aaaah!)

Anyone else notice the name of the guy who runs the sword shop where Hiro met his dad?

Not a bad episode, though like others I disliked the 'Asian exotica' kendo training Hiro went through. Was surprised at some of those who hit the floor this ep. I'm sure there'll be more casualties next ep. I still think Ando bites it. DL as well.

Days of Future Past homage, indeed

The training scene bugged me. Almost wanted an explaination of Hiro or his father altering time to explain it.

Ted's death bugged me. I, too was waiting for a flare-up. Wouldn't a radiation-scarred Sylar be poetically representative of his damaged psyche?

But, there were enough surprises and character humor to make it fun. I think it's easier to spin the threads in a series like this than to make sure they all get tied up neatly (i.e., logically and with dramatically satisfying.)

 

[Kaodi]

Hard to say, when Mr. Nakamura tells Hiro, " I always thought a Nakamura would ascend... " does that not imply perhaps that he knew his family had potential, but was not empowered himself? Or maybe he is referring more to the spiritual side of being a Hero...

Anyway... just because a certain villainous actor is signed, doesn't necessarily means his character survives. Between flashbacks, and time travel, going crazy and shapechanging, who knows what could happen. Instead of Sylar taking Candice's power, maybe Candice starts to look like Sylar to mess with someones head.

...And when is he going to fight the T-Rex (his own personal dragon) already?!...

I've seen others mention this as well. I don't think he'll ever go back in time to fight the dino. There was a scene in the museum, when he stole the (fake) sword, with a T-rex that he stopped in front of. I believe that is what Isaac's painting was refering to.

I found that a very enjoyable episode - probably one of my favorites of the entire season.

Unlike some others, I really liked the training montage - but then, I'm happy to get that kind of stuff any way I can, and I don't expect much from a television series.

I'm fine with Ted's death - the guy was a chump, I found him boring, and thus his removal is a-ok in my eyes.

My thoughts exactly. We have already seen that scene played out exactly.

Regarding the training montage - I got the impression from what Hiro's father said was that Hiro's fighting abilities were latent within him from his ancestry and only needed to be awakened. Perhaps it was just me writing off the idea of training in just a few hours, but that's where I stand.

When Micha was tampering with the votes and mentioned that all the systems were networked, there was a moment of hesitation when he looked at Candace and then he seemed to accelerate his tampering. My gut tells me that he did something to leave behind evidence of his tampering that will be discovered the next day. Nathan accused of vote tampering would certainly be another kind of bomb going off.

I missed it. Spoiler it for me?
