Heroes Season [Volume] 2 (#33)---11/26/07-'Truth & Consequences'

Also hated the primatech security. Their security is as bad as Lex's security on Smallville. WHy didn't they put Sylar in as secure a facility as the virus. Why does it look like Peter and Adam just walked in.

They're just in the public part; I doubt very much that the vast majority of the people in that plant ever guess they work for something else other than a paper mill. So, yeah, you can just walk onto the floor of a place like that, especially if you look and act like you belong there.

Well it is possible that Peter is using Matt's power to "these aren't the droids you're looking for" the security personnel. Of course the more likely reason is the same set of stupid pills that the writers were taking for this entire episode.

I hope that the finale will make up for this in part. I know Tim Kring is aware of some of the problems already, and the the next episode was rewritten as a the season finale instead of the mid-season cliffhanger, so hopefully he was able to implement some of his fixes.

Tell me a better show on in that timeslot.

Timeslot?

Wow. Haven't heard that in a while.

We need to remember that as far as the characters are concerned Sylar is dead and gone. No one is worried about him. So Matt being at work and Mohinder getting a sitter is a reasonable explanation.

Not that great of an episode. As a member of the audience, I found the Peter and Adam scenes (notably Peter's behavior) to be particularly frustrating.

 

[Grog]

Oh, and did anyone else notice that just two episodes ago, Adam told Peter "If it were possible to kill me, the company would have," but in this episode, apparently all you have to do to kill him is blow his head off? Do the writers for this show ever even talk to each other?

Yes, obviously they do just as obviously they are not idiots or lazy or anything else. Characters don't just exist to pump information from them to the audience. Adam is a lying weasel and says what he needs to.

Nevertheless, I think that much of what people are finding annoying about this episode has to do with the retooling necessary to get to the climax before the writer's strike. I suspect that this episode was a draft or two away from being "totally done" before they started shooting. Given a bit more time and care, they probably could have come up with a better and more intelligent sequence of events.

Okay, if Adam's lying, then we're back to Peter being an idiot, because Adam told him that the company couldn't kill him, and now he's telling him that there's "no coming back" from getting his head blown off.... He's directly contradicting himself and Peter doesn't even get a little suspicious.

I liked Peter better when he wasn't a complete moron.

I wish I could believe that, but this isn't the first time this season that the characters have acted like idiots. Far from it.
