HEROES The Series! (*Spoilers*)

#23 - Volume One Finale

So what did you guys think??

Sylar - He let loose and still it wasn’t enough, I just wish there was more of the fight! Throwing the bullets back at Parkman was pretty cool!

Peter - Trusted his brother AGAIN and let down AGAIN. This part was frustrating to me and I was practically yelling at the TV. The fact that he was so scared of confronting Sylar was also somewhat annoying. Any speculations on his visit with Charles? My wife says it was a hallucination, but I think that’s wrong. I don’t think it’s time travel either because he would have been seen by everyone else there. I knew that guy had a power, but I didn’t guess the connection between him and Peter’s mom/Linderman. Any guesses?

Hiro - Finally fucking got some balls! His control of his powers increased immensely after gaining confidence in himself.

DL/Jessica/Micah- So they tied into the main story at the last possible second basically. I did like Jessica beating down Sylar with the parking meter though.

Ending:
I was not expecting Nathan to show up at the last second at all. I totally thought it was going to be something along the lines of Peter fighting for control with Claire encouraging him.

Speculations for Volume 2:
-Hiro is feudal Japan now, I’m assuming the guy in blue will turn out to be Kensei?
-Worse than the Boogeyman? - Molly Walker indicated that there is someone out there that is worse than the Sylar, this is the first time I can recall mention of this? Perhaps another of Lindermann’s old partners?
-Peter - Alive, right? Nathan sacrificed himself so that the city and his brother would be able to live, if he just wanted to end the threat he could have just taken the gun and blown Peter’s brains out.
Sylar - Crawled away bleeding from a gut wound, I feel like this part is somewhat lame because unless he stole some power that lets him heal, there is no way a person could survive that without medical attention??
Candice - knocked out but wants revenge on the people that killed Linderman.

342

It looked like Sylar was dragged away, the blood streaks were too even for a crawl IMO so maybe someone will heal him? I could be wrong though.

I thought the ending was lame, was Peter getting to be the obvious choice as the main hero?

Isn’t a nuclear blast over the city something dangerous as well? What about the fall out from that?

Hiro in feudal Japan, cool place for him to hone his skills.

Is the eclipse the starting point to everyone over the centuries developing their powers from one GENERATION to another, remember Linderman said DL and Nikki meeting was not a conincidence as the photos indicated it was part of a master plan.

If this is true logic says it is the guy who the little girl says is worse than Sylar.

344

I wanna know who Kensei is, call me funky, but I am hoping it turns out to be hiro’s dad! That would rock.

Both Peter and Nathan are dead.
Nathan flew peter up into the sky where they both blew up.
i wouldn’t think they’ll be back next season.

a stab wound shouldn’t have killed sylar.
he has Claire’s power and should be able to heal himself.

i would expect to see him back.

I read that they are going to also do a hero’s spin off show. and let the public vote on characters? dunno…

i didn’t care for the ending…
they promised a decimated city all season, i wanted to see one of them fuckers blow up…
the 2nd season could have taken place in the aftermath…
but oh well.

Sylar doesn’t have any healing posers. Peter saved Claire way back, hence she was stil alive in the finale.

347

I don’t understand why Peter couldn’t have just flown up himself? Why did Nathan have to fly him?

And why would Peter have died? He can heal himself. Plus, Ted didn’t seem any worse for wear when he blew up in the FBI van.

I liked the mention of a villain worse than Sylar - nice new thread to explore next season.

Peter was by far the most interesting character, so hopefully they bring him back, though maybe with scaled down powers.

All in all I think the ending was a little lacking. None of the moments had any real emotional impact, except for Nathan swooping in to save the day. Even Hiro finally stabbing Sylar was pretty anti-climatic. Also, that was a pretty weak fight between Peter and Sylar consider the power levels of the two.

I hoped they were going to do something cool when Sylar said Peter was the villain and he was the hero.

Hiro in the past could be cool, if they don’t drag it out for too long.

All they had to do to end the threat would have been to blow Peters brains out instead, Nathan took Peter up in the sky to release all the energy. The fall wouldn’t kill Peter because he has Claires regeneration ability.

He doesn’t, if Sylar did Claire would be dead.

349

I think Charles’ power was to come to people in their dreams, or use dreams to see what needs to be seen.

Peter talked about having dreams before and that never seemed to make sense, but apparently he already got Charles’ power a while ago.

Sylar didn’t have Claire’s healing power.

I just wondered why Peter couldn’t fly away himself, since he’s had his brother’s power all along, and even if it wore off, he would have gotten it again when he showed up.

ALSO, Hiro changed the future, so now the bad-ass Hiro from the future doesn’t exist anymore, so he never went back in time to meet Peter on the train.

Now the present Hiro must remember to go back in time to meet Peter on the train again, or else none of this would happen.

It’s going to have to be a constant loop.

350

LAME.

I feel like I have wasted a season on this show. What a freaking let down.

No battle.

No explanations.

Sylar is still alive.

If Peter is dead, the show really isn’t worth watching. “I know, let’s kill the guy who actually has a cool power!”

351

Perhaps it is now a continuation of an altered future for the rest and a new timeline for Hiro to begin (Split). I thought about why not Peter flying off and my son said maybe because he was using all he had attempting to contain his nuke power nothing else worked.

Nathan could have easily flown him high enough prior to exploding and let him go and fly somewhere else, of course he may have radiation poisoning, and Peter could live through the blast? Shouldn’t the force of Nikki hitting Sylar with the meter pretty much break his back/neck or anything?

352

i got that from the 1 off episode i guess
Graphic Novel:String Theory

According to Future Hiro, Sylar was stabbed by Hiro Nakamura. However, Sylar was still able to regenerate (a power he stole from Claire) and explode.

as for Peter, i would guess they say he couldnt “control” his powers.
and just because he can regenerate doesnt mean he is invincible… when he got the glass in the back of his head, he was dead…

i think cutting off the head would kill him.
i would also think flying up into the sky and exploding would kill both him and Nathan.

Exactly what I was thinking too.

I agree there too. I don’t think Peter is dead, but maybe that was just a way for them to kill off Nathan, but again, not making sense because Peter should have been able to fly himself.

Just having Ted’s power alone should have kept Peter safe from the explosion, even without Claire’s healing power, although Claire’s power would come in handy when he fell back to Earth.

Just remember, ANY of this can all still change since there are characters with time travel ability, and I’ve heard that the writers have written many different endings.

And now that the explosion didn’t happen (well it did in the other future, but that’s been changed now), that means the Isaac’s paintings of the future were wrong.

Also, Ando didn’t die, which makes his drawings wrong again. I know they kept saying the future’s not set in stone, but that would mean Isaac didn’t paint the future, he paints what needs to be seen, or what could happen in the future if it is not stopped.

354

Yeah, the final battle was a cluster and kind of lame. While you can make an argument for the badassity of Peter laying into Sylar with THE FIST OF JESSICA, I had just commented to myself about how weird and original it was that the two bonafide comic-book-level metahumans would have no absolutely reason to be throwing hands during their rendition of a climactic showdown.

And to boot, neither Niki nor Peter’s punching power was looking too lethal or even Batman-level.

Also, If Candice were an old, overweight black woman like she portrayed on the previous episode (which I was in favor of for the sheer bitterness of it) then she would have reverted to that when Niki KTFO’d her.

Nice shine sequences for Ando, Bennet, Niki, and Parkman. They are a case for the outside interference. Still most annoying that Peter still wouldn’t strike first, even if the vision of Deveaux pere offers and excuse.

But I’ll keep watching.

355

I think next season would be alot better if the city blew up, IMO

the cat fight sucked, sylar vs peter sucked, and DL ended up not dieing… that was probaly the biggest disapointment

356

I thought this episode was horrible. As said before Peter seems to be too much of a fucktard to lay it into Sylar properly - maybe his unconditional love ability might be screwing with it.

Why couldn’t they just kill Sylar and make it easier on the show- they didn’t have a problem killing other characters and keeping Sylar alive just complicates it.

I also think old man Deveaux sucked Peter into the past - that was his ability - and gave Peter some security to save the future.

Grade: 4/10

357

While I thought the ending was a bit anti-climatic, I still enjoyed the episdode, as with most of them. My only qualm is how could Sylar live? He doesn’t have the power to re-generate, as he never took it from Claire. This doesn’t make sense, but I’m willing to bet they address this issue with the coming season.

As far as the Petrelli’s go, I think Peter will live, but Nathan will most likely die, or atleast that’s what I think should happen. Killing off Nathan will make the plot with Mama Petrelli that much better.

358

Sylar has been shot and otherwise seriously injured a few times in the past, and has somehow always managed to fully recuperate. There’s got to be some explanation for that.

359

They kept him alive solely for plot twist. I guess this was to be expected since there has been no indication that there will be an ending to the series ala Lost

Exactly.

I’m almost wondering if Sylar let Hiro stab him. Maybe he saw in his paintings that it was a better option? Heh! Not exactly sure how that would be a better option though. :wink:

Hiro stopped time to actually pull that off? I’m assuming, as it sure didn’t look like it. Cause if not it would seem Sylar let Hiro stab him.

I’d echo what someone said above, that Nathan is alive as he let Peter go before the explosion.

And if Ted was okay after the explosion Peter doesn’t need healing to protect him from that(as said above) or the fall…as he can fly!

As for the guy worse than Sylar, I imagine it’s some nasty thing that lives in the sewers. But it won’t be. :wink:

The end fight was some what of a let down. However, I think it’s purely a setup for next season.
