Heroes s03e24 "I Am Sylar" (SPOILERS)

Richard Dower

Pre-emptive thread people...roll up roll up!
So, whats up with Clare and Sylar sharing a bevvy?....who'll get canned?
Parkman or Sylar?....does Hayden have anything planned that might require her to (god willing) get killed off for? :P

I went to IMDB and saw some pictures and there are some spoilers in there.

Wont disclose what it looks like but there is a major spoiler in there if you wanna look.

Richard Dower

Woo!...not long now people :-)

Thor

okay what do you all think of the episode.

in my own opinion i taught it was very good compared to other episodes.

i liked how the concentraded on sylar in this one, really does make you wonder what goes on in sylars head.



its the first time in awhile that heroes made me ask WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.

really anticipation for the next episode.

Lets hope at the end claire catches a bullet in the back of the head somehow and then implodes. also i hope sylar rips denkass head off, i mean to stap somebody in the back of the head is just plain rude.

Nervous Wreck

F*cking amazing episode! All of the Sylar stuff was fantastic and amazingly well acted.

Hiro and Ando's story was quite good and Parkman's was great. The part where Parkman told them his priorities had changed etc was really really well acted.

Not much more I can say really... Roll on next week!

pyramuid man

What can I say.
I have to say Its Back baby.
First episode I really enjoyed it so much and it is the first episode in ages that I wanted to know what happened next.
What an amazing ending.

Sylar back to his best. Is he unstopable

opr

I hated it and its the first time i actually turned off a Heroes episode before it even finished.

Heroes is back. Don't make me laugh!

Well to just say you hated it and not state why is a bit vague.

I liked it because we get a real insight into what goes on in Sylar's head and we get the first indication that he is human and is going mad with all the powers he already has and also we get to see a flicker of humanity in the fact that he let Micah go.

He is no longer the in control person he has been letting people think he has been for the last three seasons and that he like everyone has his own personal battles. What this episode revealed about Sylar is more than anyone could have ever expected before.

Richard Dower

Sorry, but for me it was severely....meh. Just something about it, no shocks or twists, first 30 mins all Sylar which if it was Pokaski or Fuller written would be great....but it wasn't. Sylar with mommy issues?...how revealing!....NOT. There was no build up or set pieces and no real suprises.

I can't think of a less exciting penultimate episode for Heroes then this, and it made me think the series finale would be a damp squib.

Richard Dower

^ i wouldn't go quite that far, but the last two episodes were weak...the previous three were excellent. Again i feel this is an issue of who is writing the episodes and overall "where are they going" with the show.

opr

I hate this show. I hate every insulting, derivative frame of it. I hate its glib pretensions to intelligence, its faux-clever twists, and its smug dismissal of even the most basic storytelling logic. I hate its heavy-handed Psycho allusions. I hate the way it suddenly turns its characters into thundering morons in order to add a new wrinkle to the plot. (What exactly did Nathan think was going to happen when he flew off to confront Sylar?) I hate the way its idiotic lapses make it impossible to appreciate any legitimate moments of cleverness that crop up. I hate the way it can't keep proper track of all the characters. I hate Mohinder's ponderous end-of-episode proclamations. I hate Matt's wet noodle fawning over Janice with Daphne's body still warm in the grave. And oh sweet Jesus, do I hate Sylar. "Identity crisis" appears to be an excuse to chuck every plausible sense of motivation out the window and basically have him turn with the breeze. "He's going to seize the Presidency! No, wait, he's kind and good because Micah told him so! No, wait, he's still evil because otherwise we don't have a finale! No wait, he's turned on the Hunter again! No wait the Hunter's outsmarted him! No wait, he's now totally invulnerable! Don't worry! He's just having a meltdown!"

Kind of like the rest of the show

The Prognosis
Sylar puts the moves on Claire and Heroes puts a bullet in the head of this misbegotten season. It can't possibly happen soon enough.

This basically covers most of my views on the show after watching this season. Its been terrible and has turned a great show into something thats nearly unwatchable.

While I kind of want to enjoy these episodes it's kinda hard to ignore the sess pit that was the beginning of this season and a lot of season 2.
Taking this episode on it's own and ignoring all the previous mistakes and retarded storylines (elle and sylar anyone) it's alright. But as someone else mentioned Sylar constantly changing who/what he is is getting very old.. and making him completely indestructible is pretty retarded too.. isn't that what they tried to stop doing when they only allowed Peter to have one power at a time?

The more I think about the previous episodes the more faults I see.. I think the only way to enjoy it now is to forget about most of this season (except the last few eps) and go from here.. Otherwise it's a lost cause.

I think we've seen this storyline before - S1 finale, where Peter couldnt control his powers. I betcha someone will try and save Sylar as Micah tried to reach out to him which made him think with that weary mind of his.
Although i dont know how/what way he'll go

as i thought you just put a bullet/knife in the back of their head as he was able to take it out unlike Claire in S1 as Sylar has the same ability?

The ep was good, although some of it silly, as it explained the previous ep.
Here's hopin some less meaning characters will get knocked off. Here's hoping.

don ramo

the sylar indestructable thing could be the power the got off claire but differnt, or maybe developed more, think of it parkmans powers started off just reading minds, so why cant claires powers develope to make her unkillable, just a thought

i thought it was a good episode, not the best but cartainly not the worst ep as OPR wants people to believe, how can you watch the last 2 seasons of heroes and say this one the worst episode,

from here i wanna know what happens to danko, will they catch peter, angela and claire,

anyone know what the name of the next chapter is ??

honestly i dont understand the bashing on here, with people bitching for the last 2 year about how bad the show is,
can someone please answear this question,
why are ye still watching the show if its so bad ??

Mr E

Next weeks episode is called An Invisible Thread.

I liked this one. I like the fact that Sylar is turning a bit schizo, and his scenes with his mother were very well acted - Quinto really put in a good performance. Even the Hiro/Ando scenes were good fun (the little bit of batman music was a nice touch).

Getting bored with Mohinder's boring monologues though, they don't add anything.....

Ya I agree, In this ep when he started I really thought it was going to show the various heroes getting caught or killed off.

I liked this episode, As we all can agree that anything involving Sylar and not really involving Claire is automaticly a 3 star episode.

I thought it was well acted, I'm really looking forward to see what Sylar does with Danko and who gets killed off but it seems somewhat obvious to me.

All in all I thought it was decent, Way way better then 1961.

PirateShampoo

It was a above average episode, but it hardly teed up the session final.

They ripped the Sylar story line straight off Psyhco, i dont give a monkeys uncle about hiro/ando/clair. Parkman could be pretty cool but is writen ****.

Had tp laugh at sylar sat in dankos office in full view of all the agents.

Still got dibs on peter having his dads ability.

Sherifu

Sylar beginning to lose it from being dicked around so much by the writers.

Sure, if your name is Norman Bates.
