Heroes Season 1(#8)---11/13/06-'Seven Minutes to Midnight'

[Seonaid]

Evil Dad's been tracking 'heroes' for 14 years, maybe more

Watchers?

Hiro may be in danger of losing his head next.

There can be only one!

 

[Man in the Funny Hat]

Sucks to be Radioactive Man. Anyway, I wonder what the upper limits of his powers are... could he, or Sylar if he takes the powers, blow up NYC?

Um... of course. Is that not what Hiro saw in the future and what the paintings are showing? It's either Radioactive Man or Sylar using RA's brain/powers.

"You wouldn't like me when I'm angry..."

 

[Truth Seeker]

It all depends on the high degree of injury. I surmise that her brain has to be in contact with the body at all times. As it was shown, that a foreign object inbedded into the skull, 'short circuits' the ability of self regeneration. Her brain holds the memory template of what her body should look like, and function.

There must be a 'current' flow that runs through her body...a more high than usual, that identifies any damage areas that occur that need repairs or return it back to the original state.

Keep in mind, her pain threshold is quite, quite, high (example:chest cavity opened). If she ever loses her head...it is good chance, that will be it for her. Fini'

Another question, would Claire-Bear heal if her brain is placed back into her body?

Which makes me ponder the question, where does the self reside? Is it possible Claire-Bear's identity would be traferred to Sylar? Crap, too deep! Must surface for air now!

 

[Hand of Evil]

The only thing I really didn't like about the episode was that if Daddy Dear is so concerned about Claire Bear, why doesn't he get on a plane with her and go somewhere that doen't have a stadium?

Maybe because it would raise too many questions and possibly bring to light that he has done something he would have to answer for...does his bosses know about Claire-bear?

 

[LightPhoenix]

I just want to comment that, with the exception of episodes she wasn't in, I think this was the first one where Claire didn't have some horrible accident.

 

[Grymar]

Though, no it can't work that way. Hiros change of the time line affected Ando - the photo in the background changed. There must be another reason that Hiro doesn't return punctually.

My guess is that he has to avoid having two selfs in the same place at the same time. I think we will find that he walk into the diner shortly having lived through the past six months. He speaks excellent English and he will probably have to decide if his girlfriend lives or dies. My bet...for some reason he has to let her die.

 

[Umbran]

Um... of course. Is that not what Hiro saw in the future and what the paintings are showing? It's either Radioactive Man or Sylar using RA's brain/powers.

Well, it certainly kfollows the "If you put a gun on stage in act one..." logic.

There must be a 'current' flow that runs through her body...a more high than usual, that identifies any damage areas that occur that need repairs or return it back to the original state.

Dude, don't ruin it by trying to explain it. It's a superpower. Like jokes and frogs, they don't stand up well to dissection and explanation.

 

[Victim]

The only thing I really didn't like about the episode was that if Daddy Dear is so concerned about Claire Bear, why doesn't he get on a plane with her and go somewhere that doen't have a stadium?

Claire isn't in danger because she goes to a stadium. She's in danger because someone is trying to kill her. Changing the circumstances without addressing the root cause (ie, Sylar) will just invalidate the information they have from the paintings without diminishing the danger.

 

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

Well, it certainly follows the "If you put a gun on stage in act one..." logic.

But it's even better than that - we can connect the dots ourselves. I think one of the nice things with Heroes is that they show us things and we can make often easily make connections, but they never tell us these things in the face (like having a character say "Ah, so you must be the guy that will blow up New York"), trusting that we are at least smart enough to make the easy ones... Sure, part of this is only due to the pacing (the characters can't make these connections yet, since they are not aware of all things)

 

[Truth Seeker]

The 'Ole my god you'll kill Kill Kenny" charm has been broken.

I just want to comment that, with the exception of episodes she wasn't in, I think this was the first one where Claire didn't have some horrible accident.
