Heroes Season [Volume] 1(#23)---5/21/07-'How to stop an Exploding Man' Season Ending.

[Hand of Evil]

I am feeling that Mohinder must have a healing power of some sort.

Sylar has always had a unknown movement power, just wish they would let us in on it, feeling it is some form of animal (cat) like leaping and quickness.

Ahem...Let me just go back to last weeks thread...



You guys still think I was off the mark?

Yes, you are off the mark. In Episode 3 Sylar exhibited traits of being able to move quickly/stealthly. The female detective had chased him down a dead end alley way. Sylar was able to "suddenly disappear". And this is long before Peter met the invisible man. Speaking of that encounter, if you remember, Peter only found claude because he could see through his invisibility. If Sylar was using invisibility in the last seen then Peter should have been able to see him.

Not at all. Peter's determination to save Claire and his compassion influencing her rubbed off on Nathan. If Claire wasn't there, Nathan wouldn't have seen her and felt that compassion, and gone through with the plan. Sylar not getting her power was what Future Hiro assumed was the key (he too thought Sylar was the bomb), but he was wrong.

We're talking about two different things here. Hiro's plan to save Claire was solely to stop Sylar from getting Healing. The plot device for the show was to get them togethor to influence each other.

For purposes of the Alternate Timeline, 5 Years Past seems to have been a worthless (if fun!) look at the future. Assuming Hiro jumped back and changed the timeline, then returned to 5 Years Past to find an Alternate Timeline, and Current Hiro went back and could alter it from there to save it... well, it doesn't hold water IMO. Hiro's actions didn't alter major events up until Stabbity Stab and the other actions occuring around that time don't sync up well.

I liked everything else. IMO, Molly's guy "who looks back" is indeed next season's BBEG (and, also IMO, patently obvious).

Maybe the Dark One can command roachs and they dragged Sylar's body underneath the sewers, where the Dark One reanimates him in a mockery of his old form.

 

[Pseudonym]

He certainly somehow holds people up off the ground while slicing their heads open. That seems like more than one at a time.

That would just be a more nuanced use of the TK power.

When he was in his mother's apartment, he was making the snow globes fly around the room while freezing the water from the sprayer at the same time, if I recall correctly.

And this is long before Peter met the invisible man. Speaking of that encounter, if you remember, Peter only found claude because he could see through his invisibility. If Sylar was using invisibility in the last seen then Peter should have been able to see him.

I don't see that at all. Peter was able to see Claude as invisible because Peter accidentally picked up the power and went invisible himself. Seemed pretty clear to me, anyway, that you can see invisible people when you're invisible, not because you have the power.

 

[Fast Learner]

That would just be a more nuanced use of the TK power.

Naw, I really don't think so. I think the slicing power is its own thing, separate from the TK entirely.

When Ando entered Isaac's loft, he stumbled over something on the floor. Looking down, he saw a lot of blood with no obvious source.

Later, Hiro entered the same apartment and stumbled over something on the floor. When Hiro looked down, he saw a lot of blood with no obvious source.

We know Isaac was killed in that place, but the blood from that would have been dry a LONG time ago.

They are not being clear on Sylar's powers and he clearly has a few we don't know about. The "appear out of nowhere" feat was used in Ep 9 Homecoming though.

As for Isaac's death - it's sort of jumbled - but Isaac has been dead 8-10 hours or so when Ando and Hiro show up the first time in Ep 21 - The Hard Part. It's about 36 hours later when they show up again in Ep 23.

That was a lot of blood. It had clearly congealed like jell-o, but as for whether or not it's should be bone dry in that time, I really don't know. It's not a stretch to say it's congealed but not dry.

FWIW, I'm guessing that it's starting to be a wee smelly a loft by that time though.

Interestingly, the footsteps in the blood, do not appear to be visible when Hiro first appears in Isaac's loft in episode 2.

For that matter, the explosion in the initial timeline takes place in the daylight on November 8, whereas the explosion in Ep 23 takes place on Nov 7 or posssibly November 8 in the early AM when it's still dark.

So New York is not safe yet. Sylar still has several hours to blow himself up and maintain Isacc's and Hiro's timeline.

I noticed that too but I am attributing that to Claire's statement that the future can be changed.

 

[Alzrius]

Nobody else has mentioned it yet, so I'll point out that the next (last?) online comic is out: part two of The Death of Hana Gittelman.

Personally, I sort of expected this ending, but I find it very intriguing nonetheless. It also gives a tiny bit of insight as to what happened to Micha, Nikki, and D. L. after the season finale. Great stuff!
