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

[Grog]

Although, to be fair, I don't see that Monica was such an idiot, unless you want to complain that she went after Micah's backpack at all. Her power mimics what she sees exactly, she can't improvise. She watches a video of some dude going Parkour up a wall, and she can get up a similar wall...she never watched a video of the same dude coming back down!

You don't need any special skills to drop down from a second story window. Pretty much anyone can do it, and even notwithstanding her power, Monica is a young adult in pretty good physical condition. It would have been easy for her.

Heck, I'm a normal person and I can think of a TON of things I'd do with even ONE of his abilities! Invisibility?! Are you kidding me?!

No no, see, you're a viewer, so you have knowledge that the characters don't. The characters won't use their powers because they don't know ANYTHING...


I think Micah's the only one that understands his powers.

Then she must be an idiot, since she didn't plan on how to get out? If her plan was to walk down the stairs, then why didn't she just walk UP them too...

And, I think it sets up Nikki to go kick some ass next episode, and save Monica.

This, I think, is the real plot device. To showcase folks a bit more with something more actiony, mediocre setup though.

 

[Wulf Ratbane]

I'm interested in the characters that Consciously use their Powers in the pursuit of the greater Good.

That is why I tune in.

This season has reduced me to rooting for Parkman.

 

[Darkwolf71]

I am unable to come up with a good reason for Peter not reading Adam's mind, though. Or at least saying "Let's talk this out" to Hiro when they have, literally, all the time they need. Dumb.

That's the only thing I really had a problem with.

One thing I'm not clear on: everybody is assuming Matt was not "the sitter". Did we actually see him leave to find Pratt? Maybe he's the one Sylar "convinced" (like with a baseball bat or something).

Good point. You may be right on that.

 

[Brown Jenkin]

I don't think Claires' grief is "pointless" even if she does find Noah's still alive. It will help her appreciate him (and the rest of her family) more. I think the Bennets all on one team could be quite a force to reckon with.

Now Claire and Noah both are quite a force on their own and Mrs. Bennet at least showed some spine, but Lyle's only point in life seems to be to hold Mr. Muggles. While part of the family is a force to be reckoned with there is still some deadwood that needs to be trimmed since Mr. Muggles gets more screen time and lines than poor useless Lyle.

Same, although I would also add Sylar to the list. I root for him to kick the crap out of the so-called "heroes" for being morons. At least Sylar knows what he wants, uses his powers to get what he wants, and is PO'ed that he lost his powers. Unfortunately, he's also been the victim of being in the company of the snooze twins for the vast majority of this season. For shame.

 

[Mark]

Linderman's power was not the same as Claire's and Adam's.

He healed things, he did not have the ability to self-regenerate.

I'm under the impression that it is an advanced form of the same power and that Claire will one day be able to do that and more.

 

[Relique du Madde]

Alejandro doesn't speak english well enough to understand "kill" and "eat your brains" I think.

Yet he's able to read an english edition of the New York Chronicle online?

 

[Ilium]

Yet he's able to read an english edition of the New York Chronicle online?

I can puzzle my way through a fair amount of written Spanish, but when people speak it at normal speed I'm completely lost.
