    i have a theory
    you know how the invisable guy(i cant think of his name) went on the run cause he was hiding someone...and they are always on simones fathers rooftop, well couldnt it mean that he could be hiding simone, and looking after he ect, cause she could be a hero as well ect. and then there is hte also theory of the shape shifter ect, in the trailer(with simon saying shoot me again, and there is a body in the background that looks like her) just my 2 cent that prob is 100% wrong.

    You forgot the poll...

    I'll stick it in later when I've seen the episode and think up something funny as the last option.

    Okay
    I shouted nooooooo when it ended! We have to wait weeks for a sylar/peter fight. We were just left with sylar slicing Peter's bangs off :D

    Turns out Mohinder isn't as stupid as we thought,he knew all along. Some interesting stuff with nathan and hiro finally got his sword. Also will be interesting to see what happens with Bennett now that the company know about him.

    Wasn't as good as last weeks ep but still good tv and can't believe we have to wait several weeks for the next ep! :( :mad:

    This episode certainly lacked the intensity of last week's, but they certainly know how to leave you wanting more!

    I liked the fact that Nathan's mother is also involved, and the Bennett reveal was handled well. As for Pete's bangs, I think this might explain the scar!

    That was a cool episode

    Lols at Malcolm McDowell, he only played himself in that really! :p
    "Hello, I'm a British person..."

    What was the name of the new Company girl?
    She's hot, but EVIL! :o
    Pic to help, her name's Missy Peregrym, she plays Candice(?)

    We knew that he knew. If you remember back to episode 3 I think, he finds a tape of a conversation his father had with Sylar. In that conversation, Sylar gives the exact same speech about how it's their destiny to find the other heroes as he does to Mohinder outside the Motel room in 1x16.

    Okay
    Cool episode.

    So does it look like The Companys boss is Mr. Evil Brit?

    Glad that Hero got the sword we see him with in the future and we know how peter got his scar. I wonder though if he fights back or if Sylar is interrupted somehow?

    Wow.... just Wow. Don't know about others but this episode to me was the best of this season imo. So much happened and so much got answered. They've pretty much tied up most of the storylines that where on the go. Oh and yeah Simone seems to be pretty much dead and yeah i'm guessing this is going to be the scar that Peter can't heal...

    what a cliffhanger though, I don't think any other scenario for a cliffhanger would build quiet the same suspense, especially with peter mere seconds away from being dead. Oh and it seems to be looking more and more like both Ando and Hiro have powers, did you notice how when they where teleporting Ando squinted his eyes again, the same as when they where in the coach.

    One question though, maybe i'm missing something, but why wasn't nathan more shocked by Peter suddenly appearing in his office? Since when does Nathan know Peter can turn invisible?

    Okay
    Very good episode.. not the best of the season by any means. There's been at least 2 - 3 episodes that were stronger in my opinion with last week being the clear kick-arse out in front best episode so far.

    I did however find the episode a tad slow in parts.. with the Peter - Sylar moment, Mohinder hanging from the ceiling, Ando's reveal and Sylar playing Mohinder all along being the highlights of the episode. The Bennett reveal was excellent but did suspect something along those lines would happen when Candice and her power was revealed. Bit late in the series to be introducing new heroes but hoepfully she plays a bigger part.

    Didn't really like the idea of Hiro and Ando teleporting into the future.. but from what i've heard on Aint-It-Cool-News - not trying to give too much away - but we will get a glimpse into the few of the character's futures while they are there so that could be interesting.

    Anyways.. great episode. I'll give it a 'Great' rating with it's slow moments taking the 'Excellent' grade away from it.

    PS - did anyone else find Malcolm McDowell's scene was just a tincy bit drawn out!?

    The theory was that Ando had telekenisis, so are you claiming that Ando has time travel powers too? I doubt it.

    I liked it. I'd put it third, second being last weeks and first being episode 16.

    Those synopsis often have one or two details that are a load of crap. What terrible painting did Isaac do? We saw his eyes glaze over but did we see any more or did I just switch off completely?

    Didn't he do one with what looks like someone with their skull-cap torn off (or "The Sylar" as i call it)? I presumed it was him (as when Hiro found him) when in the future, but i suppose we're led to believe it may be Peter depending on the outcome with the stuation with Sylar.

    Ying and Yang, it wasnt the sword Hiro needed but Ando, in this series/world makes perfect sense 2 people would need each other to focus any evolutionary change. Peter has a limit to his healing i reckon hence the scar and the not dying when Sylar whips his head off.

    Excellent episode, damn 7 weeks :(

    Her commenting on Mrs. Bennetts hair was another clue too... she was studying her at that point so she could copy her later.

    I can't believe they left us hanging like that :mad:

    It was a good episode but that is no way to end a series. No closure at all and we've to wait about another 8 months for series 2?!

    BASTARDS!

    How did the pitch from the metal thing Mohinder banged hurt Sylar's ears if he was on an IV that was supposed to suppress his Abilities

    I know Sylar wasnt actually affected by the IV but would Mohinder not of copped it??

    Please say he dies, he's so annoyin!


    Is the break only in America? Or will it affect Global too???

    At least the football's back :D

    Top class episode IMO. Highlight being Hiro "Flying Man!" You get a definite sense of momentum building up.

    I get the feeling that if it wasn't picked up for a second series the bomb would've gone off but when they got the greenlight, they had to plan for the second series. Hence the new charachters and Hiro and Ando off to the future.
    Apparently the next episode is set 5 years from now and everybody dies!
    which means we'll be even longer waiting for
    the Soylar v Peter extravanza!


    At the moment, ep 19 is listed as TBA, anywhere I look

    The IV was meant to induce paralysis so he couldn't move.


    What does it take for peter to absorb another Heroes power? Will Peter of absorbed all those powers when Sylar grabbed him?

    Great.
    Hi folks, first post here on the heroes forum, I wanted to get fully up to date so I didnt accidently read any spoilers.

    I thought it was a brilliant episode, probably the best so far.
    What does it take for peter to absorb another Heroes power? Will Peter of absorbed all those powers when Sylar grabbed him?

    Wouldn't it be mad if Peter absorbs all Sylars powers, kills Sylar, goes completely crazy in the process and is the one who ends up killing Isaac?

    I know it would go against the Hiro knowing Peter in the future thing, unless they found a way to cure Peter after we went crazy from killing Sylar.

    anyway, pure speculation on my part.

    When I first started watching I thought Peter was the most annoying and boring character of the lot. Now I can't get enough of him. Anyone agree?

    Excellent episode, wouldn't say it was the best but it was up there... and what a way to leave us hanging! The new characacter is hot... but maybe that's not how she really looks, haha
    Wonder what will happen Bennet now and how did they know about Isaac & why save him from being arrested! Can't wait for the next episode....

    Very good episode and really loved how Sylar totally p0wned Suresh. Suresh really gave the "oh sh1t!" when he saw Sylar rise up...

    Latest theory regarding the finale: Sylar kills Candice and Ted. He becomes the nuclear man. As he becomes unable to control the inner nuke, he uses Candice's power to make himself look like Peter to lure the other heroes in. In the final moments of the season, the real Peter appear and somehow saves them all, perhaps teleporting himself and Sylar into the future and/or space and letting himself return. This way he uses a variety of the heroes powers (telepathy maybe to read Sylar's power, his brother's power to fly to the scene, Hiro's power to teleport to the future, and Claire's power to absorb the nuclear blast and heal himself). Sounds good to me....
