Heroes Season [Volume] 2 (#34)---12/03/07-'POWERLESS' Mid-Season Finale (or the End)

[Darkwolf71]

*sigh*.

I think what Hiro did makes him less a hero. He could have been merciful, and he wasn't. That's sad.

And I preferred Sylar the way he was in Volume 2. He was a far more interesting character. I am not looking forward to him in Volume 3, to be honest.

Oh, i would have been far less merciful than Hiro was. I mean Adam killed his father.

Totally agree with you about Sylar though.

I was hoping Sylar would have to start collecting powers over again instead of just picking up where he left off.

I loved this ending! After a slow start, the second half of this entire season was an upswing, and this did very nicely! Sure it felt rushed, but it had to resolve a lot of plot threads - it certainly kept me on the edge of my seat in doing so!

Hiro's way of disposing of Kensai was dark, which was an excellent showing of the more ruthless potential we know he has (a la Future Hiro). He apparently didn't know that Adam could be killed by a hit to the brain, so he opted for eternal confinement...it's cold, and even cruel, but that's what we know Hiro is capable of. And of course, in true comic books style (I personally love that style of storytelling) it leaves room for Adam to come back later!

I wasn't sad to see Nikki go, but I miss Nathan already! He and Peter worked very well together on screen, and the way Nathan's character was evolving was damn interesting to watch. Adrian Pasdar is a great actor, and the hole from his absence is going to be hard to fill.

Speaking of great actors, I'm so glad I was wrong and that Sylar didn't kill Elle. She's starting to really come into her own as a character, and I can't wait to see more of her. The questions are really just beginning to come into the open for her, and she has a lot of growing to do.

And Sylar...I'm giddy to see him back to his old self. He's one of the coolest villains we've seen in a while, and now, as he said, he's back! The superhero serial killer returns!

I can't wait for the next arc, "Villains"! Bad guys are my favorite part of comic books, and the preview we saw, of Sylar's powers restored, promises that it'll be the best season so far!

The grave was a little nasty - but Hiro had his reasons. It's not as if Adam didn't deserve it.

I thought a better ending would have been to have Hiro and Adam appear in a jungle.

Adam: Carp! Where are we?
Hiro: You wanted to be the last man left alive?You win. The last - and the first... Adam.
Adam: Where are we, damn it?
Hiro: North Dakota.
Adam: *Looks around* This isn't North Dakota!
Hiro: It is. You asked where. You didn't ask "when". *Adjusts glasses* Perhaps time and loneliness will teach you compassion. Don't worry - if you last - in about 65 million years, you will meet your Eve.
**RAWR** in the background. T-REX FOOTFALLS GETTING CLOSER, BRANCHES SNAPPING AND MOVING.
Adam: CARP!!
*RAWRRRRRRR!!!!!*
Hiro: Goodbye, Takezo Kensei.

*BAMF*

I thought of that but realised that it's no good--Kensei is immortal, that just gives him millions of years to become more powerful. Then I thought Hiro might have sent Kensei to the distant post-apocalyptic future when Earth was all used up. Or he could have done the most evil thing that anyone ever did to anyone in the whole show, what Peter did to Caitlin and was planning to do to her (he left her in a future that he destroyed, so now she no longer even exists, and yet, that was his plan all along--why didn't he ask Hiro to retrieve her first?)

Except, knowing the world unfolds as it has, Hiro would know that Adam did not survive into the era of recorded history. His presence in history would have been too easy to detect. The implication is that Adam could not survive his loneliness - and would have ended his own life. (makeshift guillotine, head in T-Rex's mouth, etc.)

Hiro and the viewer knows this - as human history unfolds without Kensei in it.

Adam would have been lost in time...and retrievable from the past - if need be.

Bah, not the best episode in the world but then again i'm glad I"m not a fair weather fan. i was enterained even if i am yelling at the screen at how stupid mohinder is this season and how dumb peter is. If peter wants to know something, he has shown that he can control the telepathy power. You got three people from your past, who helped you save the world, one of which is your brother, and you trust this guy you knew for five minutes.

Still confused aboutthe haitians powers. He obvioulsy did iquick, but doesn't his power normally take memories forever. So i am confused as to whatpeter does and doesnt remember. (Though i am sure that the mom in the future did something to negate the hatian's powers)
Whereas someone said they were speeding things up i feltthey were draggin g things out. In the real world this episode was a half hour and peter listens to hiro and parkman or telepathy's adam . Then again, maybe there is a scene on the cutting room floor that says that adam is has encountered mind readers for a long time and knows how to blank his mind out or trick the power. This would make sense considering he was controlling parkman's dad.

Back to mohinder . He feels evil. He sacraficed many, many people's lives for mia and his own. Twin #2 is still alive, not happy about that, she's just as stupid. Where the heck would her brother go. Back to mexico?

Wonder did HRG's hiring come with a new position. He'll have enemies considering he killed an agent.

I like that the next series is named villians. I see electrogirl, sylar and peter's girlfriend as villian. Thats right peters girlfriend. She is a victim of an enigma. Trapped in a time that doesnot exist. What kind of powers come with that. Sylar will have to die the next time they take him out. He is going to go after the cheerleader hard now, or find adam monroe. Wonder did he take the files onadam monroe when he took the medication.

Only heroes can lose people who are a few steps ahead of them

BTW hiro is not evil.l HE does not know what kills kensai. As a matter of fact he saw him blow up to pieces and reform so the only thing he can think of is to imprisson him.

The characters have all become morons, which is another way of saying they have forgotten everything they have learned and being inconsistent.

But Adam's burial in the grave of one of his victims has a nice full-circle feel to it.

Seems like you've missed some episodes. Peter has known Adam for more than five minutes. He's been his sole confidant for months now, and--more importantly--has been the only person in the know to earn Peter's trust. He may love Nathan more, but he doesn't side with Adam out of love, but rather because he seems to have good intel. The Company has indeed been sitting on top of a super-virus.

Adam taught Peter how to recover his memories using his regenerative powers.

If Grandma Patrelli can shield her mind from telepathy, it's likely that all of the old-school heroes can.

Having said that, most of the characters in Heroes are indeed inexcusably incapable of connecting the dots. Mohinder has failed to develop into a worthwhile character. He should've been bumped off a long time ago, but tonight would have been good too. On top of not being an actual hero, he's also been consistently stupide and no longer has any excuse for being so naive. He's basically a damsel in distress.

But it's been shown that the future is not immutable. So, Adam goes nuts in the past and makes sure that mankind never evolves, or does so with him at the top of the heap.
