Heroes Season [Volume] 2 (#29)---10/29/07-'The Line'

[Rystil Arden]

I'm convinced that its Jessica, not Nikki, due entirely to Ali's acting. Agree with what has been said so far.

BUT... C'mon, Mr. Bennent tossing stuff around with his bare hands? Surely the company has his fingerprints, if no one else does.

Gack! I almost liked Bob at the end there. And I know he can't be trusted!

Indeed. I think the screaming, frantic, trying-to-escape one was Nikki, and the calm 'Nikki' Suresh saw afterwards in that episode was already Jessica again, and she is still Jessica now.

So... when Kensai caught up with Hiro and the daughter... wow... that was pretty quick. They were all in the middle of the camp, and then Hiro teleported him and her out. It wasn't much longer before the kiss, yet Kensai got there in time to see.

Unless of course, Hiro's teleport also delayed their reappearance for a while.

Probably not a big deal, but it did catch my eye.

Plus, of course, the obvious problem of "when did Hiro put the scrolls in"....

 

[Vocenoctum]

I think that would be awesome - Hiro tried to change the timeline, and is forever condemned to having to fix it. It's a very dark ending for Hiro, which contrasts nicely with his optimistic nature. In fact, I'm all for that being how Hiro turns into Future Hiro, and not simply Ando's death.

Well, my problem is, he fixes it correctly, then messes it up again, then fixes, then messes, ad nauseum and it'll get old real quick. (Especially if he ends up fixing stuff in the end and we've just watched the same legwork over and over again.)

It was odd to me that Hiro didn't just get a sword to the gut. I guess Kensei may have lost the combat and had to make a deal, but that doesn't make sense. I dunno.

The show doesn't seem to have a solid grasp on it's use of time-travel, and figuring out paradox & such. We'll see how it goes.

Agree with the general opinion in my dislike of Flyboy. Did notice one thing about him though: when he was trying to convince Claire about the trick he made a comment along the lines of :you are hot and have powers. You are inherently better than her. And the comment about "I can Fly. Makes parental supervision a non-issue". Both kind of "We are the superior race." Would be kinda cool if he went all Magnito and tried to take Claire with him.

I feel sorry for Hiro. It looks like uber Peter has stolen his shtick and he is no longer relevant to the plot.

He should have spent more time DOING things for himself rather then acting like Kensai's Rail Roading GM. Hell, history wouldn't know the difference. If only he read more marvel or DC comic books or even watched wrestling and payed attention to those impostor storylines that pop up every several years.



Edit: (an after thought)
Maybe History ISN'T Broke. After all, the history we know might be a result of Hiro's actions.

For instance, what if Kensai was one of White Beard's stooges who deserted and was to be murdered for his action BUT Hiro intervened and messed things up by making Kensai look like the hero that he wasn't. This of course would make White Beard extremely pissed and send his men after kensai only to have kensai "reveal" that Hiro was impersonating Kensai and that it was he who was really killing White Beard's men. (This "reveal," of course, occurred after Kensai saw the kiss.)

Honduran Snooze Twins/Sylar: Thank you whoever coined the name. It would have been nice if the yahoos on the border had shot everyone in the car so we wouldn't have to deal with them anymore. But then Peter wouldn't have an epidemic future to teleport too.

Monica: She seems resolved. I am wondering where they are going with her.

Claire/Stalker Boy: I liked the trick but I would be willing to get rid of her to make the nightmare that is stalker boy go away.
.

In my personal reality they are just figments of my imagination that Nightmare man created to ruin my viewing of Heroes.

 

[Grog]

Meh. This episode didn't really hold my interest. It feels like the show's trying to do too much, and none of the characters and storylines are getting enough attention.

And, one thing I really didn't get - why did Claire yell at West after they pulled their stunt with the bitchy cheerleader? He showed her the mask - they had to have talked about what they were going to do beforehand, and presumably Claire agreed to it. So why was she angry with him? That didn't make any sense.

Peter: I'm begnning to wonder if his girlfriend isn't a plant. I like amnesia Peter better than Emo Peter. Since he was on the Plaza with Parkman shouldn't he have mind reading as well.

He does, he read the brothers friends mind about betraying them after the heist. That is who Kristen Bell asks at the docks and he tells her where Peter is.

Plus, of course, the obvious problem of "when did Hiro put the scrolls in"....

During the last Hiro episode, the one where Ando found the scrolls, they showed Hiro putting them in the sword as he wrote them. So I think after writing a particular scroll, it gets shoved in the sword. That's why they stop at the kiss, because he got knocked the @#$% out!

I picked up on that comment as well.
