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

[Nellisir]

The future really does need to change if I am going to keep watching. I love this show but if the bomb goes off and New York is destroyed then the future can't really be changed much and having seen the 5 years in the future I don't really want to watch a show going down that path. So I will be optimistic and think that the bomb won't go off, the future can be changed. I will find out Monday.

I'll bet anything on this. No exploding city. It's just too big, too much, and quite honestly, too 9/11 to be a good idea. This is a show about people in our world gaining superpowers - while some deviation is to be expected, the world still has to be fundamentally "ours" (the viewers') from season to season.

I chalk it up to just leaving, not invisibility. He had the mysterious disappearing act before. Though, we don't know all his powers either. (Molly's dad got eaten for example...)

Ditto. I think he occasionally "boosts" himself with TK. Didn't he levitate at one point (at least once), when he ran into Parkman in the hospital? He clearly has exceptional control over his tk. And pretty good control over the radiation, actually.

Hmm. If Peter has radiation from Ted, and then gets it -again- from Sylar...would that push him over the edge?

He leapt pretty far after failing to kill FBI-girl and Parkman after failing to get Molly in FBI-villa.

Ted's death was just bad. Sure, he blows up a van to escape, but he won't blow up stuff to save his life.
Right, he was just THAT disoriented.

I have a feeling that Ted would rather die than hurt someone else again. he truely was cursed with this power. I also think that he had no idea that it was Sylar about to steal his power.

 

[Taelorn76]

Did anyone else notice how Sylar dissapeared after telling the FBI agent about 'his duty'?

Has he had invisibility for a while now and I missed it? Or does this mean that Claude has been gone now for a while because Sylar got to him?

I know they didn't show him fade out, but that's what I got from that scene when he said something, and she turned around and he wasn't there.

Further what does that mean for the big showdown if he can go invisible too?

Disclaimer: Of course I could be completely wrong, Claude has had his part and is done now, and Sylar just slipped away into the croud. It just didnt seem that way to me.

I think Sylar just slipped in to the crowd, he has done that before.

 

[Taelorn76]

Well, the future has obviously changed. I no longer think that Peter explodes. I think that when Peter saved Claire, je absorbed too much power and went into a coma. In this coma, he had the vision about exploding. He sought Claude at that time.

Peter never really sought Claude out. He happened to spot him pickpocketing people and chased after him.

He was repentent, sure. That doesn't equal suicidal though. Sylar being known or unknown was still someone slicing open his head. Peter had time to react when he did it, and Ted tends to burst when losing control...

See I think the bomb can still go off and we have a very different future than what depicted in "5 years later". The next couple of seasons could be the heroes banding together and changing the world to a better place. One by preventing the dark future and two just helping humanity.

It's not suicidal, I think Ted had just given up.

I bet she's a gnome illusionist. I didn't feel bad for her though, she's all about mind games and was probably just messing with Micah. The Silver Surfer comic was funny to me, since I immediately figured "she probably walked in and robbed a comic shop", but I suppose Linderman may have bought it.

That's kind of funny really, because the second I saw that Silver Surfer comic I thought "NICE, bet it's really some crappy dollar bin comic she made look like Silver Surfer #1..."
