Heroes Season [Volume] 2 (#25)---10/01/07-'Lizards'

This has been referred to as accessing the "hindbrain", or "the lizard mind".

Hey look, another meaning behind the episode title. Good find.

As for something heroes related, but not episode related (that we know about), isn't a dragon generally considered a lizard?

Takezo's power will allow him to literally cut out his heart and give it to the dragon.

I think I agree with you on this.

I want to see that Peter can actually use his powers in groups, as opposed to one at a time, regardless of how smooth the switches were in that fight. Like shooting electricity or using TK while in flight and regenerating, or flying through a wall, ala Nathan and DL, or lifting something really heavy and dropping it on someone in a flyby. Kring said that he couldn't, but he could have meant "at the time, 'cause he didn't know how", right? Hope so.

Matt's ability should evolve to projective telepathy and all forms of psychic perception, not in one lump, but in bits and pieces, as he uses his power more and more. Eventually, he's using psychometry, clairvoyance--he sees claire--clairaudience--claire is watching him-- just joking, but ya'll get the picture.

I want Mohinder to be a healer, like Linderman, only not a crook.

Nathan should somehow integrate with Peter's ghost, and gain control of all those other powers.

Claire should start doing regeneration experiments in her hidden lab.... wait, that's a bit much. Maybe she should just cut off her limbs and grow new "hers" so as to become an army of Claire. "One Claire to rule them all...."

Who wants to bet that Takezo is, in fact, the 1000 year old Irishman? AND, that Claire has the potential for unaging, undying continuation for all of eternity? As does Hiro, for different reasons?

More flummery later.

I was under the impression that Peter cannot do that because his power doesn't work that way. I think Claude described him as a "filing cabinet" in that after he absorbs a power he can call these up if he knows where to look. That's not to say he can't pull out two or three "files" at once, but I think this differentiated him from Sylar, who can and did use multiple powers at a time, although he had to take them from others by force.

It's interesting to me that Peter has only absorbed one power from Sylar as far as we know. I mean, why TK? Sylar had those cold powers at the time, too. And by the end of the 1st season, why didn't Peter take some of the other powers Sylar'd eaten along the way, like superhearing or matter destabilization?

Maybe he did take them all including his base power to know how things work. That is why he was able to call up and use those powers that he needed without a problem. The problem now is not how they work, but who he is.

Or maybe Peter can only absorb Sylar's 'natural' power. Just the knowing how things work part. Since the others are gotten by some other process, perhaps those couldn't be taken. Stupid part to me is, if somebody was gonna mindwipe Peter they better put him somewhere they don't much care for since he should still have Ted's nuclear power and is still just as likely to go nova again for whatever reason. I mean, do youu steal the knowledge of something like that from somebody but leave them with the means to do it accidentally? When his knowledge of it was requisite for him to strive against the big boom. (Not that he was able to stop it in the end, but...) Unless of course, they were somehow able to take Ted's power away from him. Or (speculation), the 'new' electrical power is Ted's power at a different wavelength somehow because the big boom used up alot of the charge. Maybe he works his way up through energy levels like the firebenders in Avatar (fire, electricity, then radiation, etc).

 

[Grymar]

The problem with both Peter and Hiro for the writers is that they are just too powerful. There are few situations that they couldn't solve, like the old Superman complex. How do you keep it suspenseful if one person is as powerful as everyone else combined?

 

[Fast Learner]

I was under the impression that Peter cannot do that because his power doesn't work that way.

It's essential to the first season ender that he not be able to use more than one power at a time, so odds are it'll stick. Yeah, he could theoretically learn how to use more than one, but as noted, he's already way too powerful for the show, multiple powers would be way too much.

Worth noting that Peter does use two powers simultaneously in the episode Five Years Gone, set in the future. He's invisible while using TK. You can see an animated gif of it at http://heroeswiki.com/Empathic_mimicry

Are you sure that he is using his Telekinesis? (Can't look at any videos now, so if the video makes it obvious, sorry). The fight with Isaac involved him being invisible and throwing things around, but he probably threw them by himself...
