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

[Truth Seeker]

Since from the issue of X-Men 109# landed in my hands.

Scientific explanations was fostered through comics and sci-fi RPGs...forgive me.

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



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.

 

[Felon]

The question, do we ever see from what time he gets his sword from! His tagline - I studied the art with the seven greatest Samurai ever!

Well, Sylar removes the heads of his victims with one smooth stroke of something that's really sharp.

It's quite interesting to watch how folks have come to accept certain things are proven facts when they definitely are not. We have no evidence that Sylar eats brain. We have no evidence that he has powers other than mind-over-matter. Is the "power absorption" theory based entirely off of seeing that one of his victims was frozen? That's hardly conclusive--in fact, that could just be another facet of mind-over-matter.

Now, what's the deal with this Sean Bean nonsense? I mean, not just the rumor that Sylar might be played by him. I know about that but what I don't get is...what's the big flippin' deal about Sean Bean? Other than him playing one of the many minor characters in the LotR movies, has he done anything else that really makes the possibility of his appearance in Heroes a point of interest?

This is what Wikipedia mentions as his notable roles:
Mellors in Lady Chatterley (1993)
Major Richard Sharpe in Sharpe (1993-1997)
Alec Trevelyan in Goldeneye (1995)
Boromir in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy (2001-2003)

I'm not seeing where so many people should even know the guy's name.

Well, omitting the glaring fact of how many people actually saw LotR, he was also in Patriot Games (as the major bad guy), Silent Hill, National Treasure (another bad guy role), Troy, Ronin, The Island (bad guy), just to name a few other films the highly incomplete Wiki may not have listed. That's actually quite a lot of exposure for most actors. Most of those movies were high profile as well.

Psi-knife

That's all I have to say.

Or he just telekinetically grabbed something (s) and did it......

I don't think you can find something sharp enough to cleave through a human skull without causing the victim to even flinch just lying around. I mean she didn't even show the slightest bit of impact motion, there was no transfer of kinetic energy.

So, like I intimated, it would have to be something nastily sharp to top a person's head like an egg...like a katana that might wind up in Hiro's possession.

/shrug

Meh. Still sounds like much ado about a minor actor that doesn't rate much more than scale. But I suppose exaggeration is the entire point of hype.

Let me know when the rumor mill churns out that Sylar will be played by Screech from Saved by the Bell. Now that's a high-profile actor!

hehehe

That would certainly dispose of any respect I have for this show.

Or being used by his evil twin from the future/past/alternate timeline, he stops time for a nano second to freeze the target, slice goes the blade, and evil twin hero walks away with brain in pocket.
