Heroes 5/7 - The Hard PartFollow

I just realized I got the title wrong last week. Oh well.




SPOILERS



































Another good episode, but after thinking and thinking and thinking, I still cannot figure out how Sylar managed to restart time. I knew it was going to happen, but when it did happen, it just didn't make sense.

Going back to last week, is Molly Walker dead in the future? Hubby and I are guessing not. When Future Hiro goes to Bennett, he asks for some of the ones he brought to him to hide, which included DL, Candace, and Molly Walker. Obviously Bennett, who mentions that he "turned over the dangerous ones" to Parkman, gave DL and Candace to Homeland Security. Or did he only give up DL since Sylar was not Nathan until he met Candace. Bennett wouldn't have given up Molly Walker as that would have made them able to find Claire.

Does anyone remember whether Peter does in fact mention DL, Micah, and Ando dying specifically in the nuclear blast? I had thought he said it to Nikki when he was telling her he was the man who blew up, though he mentions Ando in a separate occasion during his conversation with Ando.

What is with Mrs. Petrelli?? She appears to be with Linderman, yet how can she when the Haitian and Claire are on the run from The Company. Do you think Linderman is the Petrelli father? Are there any children with special abilities that have only ONE special ability parent? The only children I can think of are Micah, Claire, and Molly who all have two hero parents.

I have so many questions, but somehow it's not as frustrating as Lost. I love it!

My guess is because you have only watched three, including last night's. And I'm assuming you didn't watch three consecutive weeks. :P Heroes is not something you just turn on mid season and enjoy.

He killed her so it's alright.

After the action in the previous episode this one was just okay...

I have a feeling that Mrs. Petrelli has a power... she seems to be crazy smart since she planned for her son to get into politics. I like the idea of Linderman being the Petrelli father, it seems to fit.

Other than that I can't wait until bomb time!

yeah but remember it is not Hiro's sword, it is future hiros sword, and hiro was still able to teleport after it broke.

Some other things I noted:

Coming attrations shows George Takei back in next episode and wielding a sword that is not broken.

if Mohinder's sister had a power, then he must have one too, which will upset some b/c they don't like him, maybe he has the power to annoy?

I bet Claire does not have to shoot Peter to stop him from exploding, Bennet is there to talk him through it so he can supress it.

I don't think Lindeman is Nathan and/or Peter's father, I think he is Sylar's father.

The painting of the future in lindermans lab shows Micha hovering over the ruined city like a thanksgiving ballon. This ties into a new theory I have about Niki: What if Niki's power is to catch the dying and hold them inside her and Jessica her "dead" twin has the power of super strength. Niki's is not a power you would learn how to use well as you would not get a lot of practice, and when Micah is killed in the blast she trys to use it instinctively and releases Jessica but fails to successuly capture Micah. This would explain how Jessica dies in the blast and Micah is all spooky hovering above city.

My husband said this too, but did she really have a power? Did they say what it was? I had thought she just had an extremely rare genetic disorder.

I love your Nikki theory btw. That would make her a hell of a lot more interesting.

I understand the serial nature of it, I have no problem jumping into the story.

It still doesn't explain the shallow, poorly written, often obtuse characters. A soap serial like this is built off the strength of its characters. It just isn't there.

That aside the pacing of the story is tedious and feels like it crawls at a snails pace. There are sudden bursts of action, however the build up too it isn't worth the pay off, especially seeing as how the character development is so absolutely painful.

Has there been any firm evidence to conclude that the Primatech Paper people and Linderman are all working together? I've assumed they are two different groups, with two different agendas. I think the Primatech folks are more of a psuedo-government group that wants to study people with power and use them for their own ends (what that is we don't know). Linderman seems to be an offshoot of a group of "first generation" heroes, who's adopted his own "vision" of the future. Apparently, one shared by Mrs. Petrelli. It seems like others of this group are working with the Primatech people (Hiro's dad for one). Whether they are pawns or players remains to be seen.




Presumably most people with powers have either none, or just one parent with a gift. Else, where did they come from? For example, I don't think Sylar's mom had any abilities (although she may have but rejected them as some sort of satanic gift. She was a bit looney).

Mohinder will use Molly's virus to stop Sylar from using his power.

Molly is the key to defeating Sylar? Why? Because she can find him? So what? lol

Also don't ever put 'Lost' and 'Heroes' in the same sentence. . .

Look a little more outside this. I don't think it so much Molly ability to find people that is the key, but more of her disorder.

Mohinder took blood from Molly, if he can inject that in to Sylar then it will not only stop his abilities but in the long run kill him as it did to Mohinder sister.

You also must not forget that they not only have the Haitian who has the ability to block peoples powers, they probably have more people with powers to throw at Sylar.
