    Yeah, I have to say that this and Dexter are wiping the floor with Lost... I'm still hooked on Lost too though. :)

    Some great lines... "Destiny would lose our number", and "I have to find that sword". Great show. :)

    Firstly just before DL got into the car and Nikki/Jessica shot him, they obviously reshot that scene

    They seem to do this a lot. I think it's happened at least twice before. In the episode which ends with Claire waking up in the middle of her autopsy, she looks down and says "Holy sh...", but in the next episode she says something else. Happened another time too, can't remember now.

    Another funny part of that episode was Hiro trying to make Mr. Isaac "concentrate", and making his face. :D

    Not sure why Peter is sick though... it's possible his encounter with Sylar and his mishmash of powers has affected him somehow.


    This shouldn't be possible as Peter was in close contact with Claire twice following his contact with Sylar, so he should have been healed of any health problems by her power. Though of course it is possible that he was getting the future vision from Sylar, which indicates that Sylar also has visions.

    could his power be growing? is it possible he is "the one"?
    its possible that his powers are growing to a stage where his "range" is increased so he is right now drawing on The cheerleaders healing, the radiation guys explosiveness and also Hiro`s time travel or Isac`s future predictions?

    Great episode. Best of the series so far.
    Even the Niki stuff was interesting in this ep. Can't see where they fit in with the other heroes though.
    Cool to see the heroes coming together at last. The scene with Peter and Matt was cool. Took me a second to realise Peter would be able to read minds around him :) Nicely, done scene.
    Hiro and Issac together at last. Can't wait to see the episode where Hiro fights the T-Rex. The writers must be expecting a nice large budget :)
    How exactly were Sylar's powers supposed to be blocked (as said by Mr Bennett)? They seemed to be working just fine. He managed to pull Eden through the glass.
    And Peter's dream sequence? That was a bit wierd. Maybe he gets the exploding mans powers and can't control them.

    Can't wait for the show to return.

    Although this has more than likely been said already, maybe Peter's powers grow too strong, strong enough for him not to be in the vicinity of the "fire /radioactive man" or anyone else but still get his powers.

    /me wants to see hiro battle T-rex in teh next episode!

    I don't think it'll be as simple as that. The T-Rex may be a metaphor for something ?

    Anyways, great first 11 eps. These definitely deserve a rewatch over the xmas break :D

    For some reason, I doubt that Hiro will be fighting a T-rex, I'd say he has some sort of fight with someone else in a museum or something along those lines.

    As regards Sylar being able to pull eden through the glass, despite the apparent presence of the Haitian, Sylar was probably too powerful. We saw this before with when they took Matt and he was still able to pick out Claire's name,

    Bump for this for the fresh discussion...









    ******** EPISODE 12 ********


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,790 ✭✭✭tvnutz


    Hurrah! :D Great to have it back. Love this show.

    As most people thought the explosion has to do with the radioactive guy out in the desert and if Peter will come into contact with him.

    Hiro's quest for his sword was fun,and we got introduced to invisable Dr. Who, who is actually a petty thief :p

    Nikki/Jessica in jail makes for an interesting storyline and Mr Linderman keeps popping up everywhere,I hope he lives up to his reputation when they introduce him.

    We also find out the symbol means "Godsend"...interesting,and don't you think the "respect the calling" is a much better tagline than "are you on the list"?

    It wasn't the most exciting episode but it has set things up for the last half of the season,and it looks like it is going to be good!


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,912 Mod ✭✭✭✭Ponster


    My 'interesting' bits of this episode were Niki being surprised at being able to break the nightstick. It seems that she may one day have the power to control her fighting ability without turning into the other one.

    The first episode in a while where interest in her story didn't drop ever lower.

    I think Ando said the symbol on the sword was a combination of "great talent" and "godsend" which is interesting because of the people showing up with only the two lines of the symbol. What remains to be seen is which part of the symbol means what.

    Another tidbit was that Peter was invisible too when he met the new guy meaning he absorbs powers instantly rather than needing prolonged contact. We'll have to wait and see if the guy is actually invisible (like the invisible man) or just "removes" himself from peoples minds.

    Radioactive man in the desert was a bit odd, wasn't he taken away by homeland security? He seems to be learning to control his powers too...

    Sylar in the cell.. was there any signifigance to the cockroach?

    Finally, twas nice to see everyone coming together at last.

    He escaped,it was mentioned at the end of the episode that he was in. Killed everyone in the van as well if i remember correctly.

    Ok dumbass question here, but when was the radioactive dude mentioned before? has he already been introduced? Sorry but I watched the first 11 episodes in about a day and a half back in early december and some bits are a bit hazy!

    What episode was he in? I`ll definitely have to give it another look!

    I wonder what secret the Hatian told Claire? Was great to see him speak I thought!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,403 ✭✭✭The Gnome


    So I see, just re-watched that one. Can't believe I missed it... I'm getting old :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,579 ✭✭✭sgthighway


    For the craic I went to the website that was on the Business Card (i won't post the link here). Go to it and click on Jobs - do you remember what he wrote on the back of the card.:)

    A useless bit of info I know but Dan Brown did the same type of thing in his novels.....

    I CALLED IT!!!!(Well, I got the museum part right at least, that's good enough for me)

    Anyway, good episode, Hiro was a laugh again, I was laughing hard when he just said "I'm going to bring this back" and looked so dejected.

    I think it was episode 8. Matt was tracking him down,reading his mind...somthing about his wife (not matts wife). The radioactive guys wife had cancer and it was becasue of him. I can't recall all the details to be honest,I only saw the episode once and it was a while ago. But when they started talking about the exploding man and then Peter had his vision,I reckoned it had something to do with Peter possibly absorbing this guys powers and not being able to control them.

    New episode was Ok... it was not amazing tho
    I kinda wanted a bit more on syler and when is hiro going to use his sword to kill a dinosaur or maybe use his time bend or slow down just to appear behind someone then chop there head off. i don't think he will use it like that tho.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,791 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Hiro is not going to use a sword to kill a dinosaur. Isaacs painting was obviously from the museum......

    Enjoyable episode.... Fun exchanges between Matt and Mr. Bennett, the Hiro stuff was great (as usual), and I liked the intro to Claude (Ecclestons character).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,764 ✭✭✭DeadParrot


    anyopne try reading the graphic novels online, they give you some idea where everything is going next.

    ????:
    Maybe he will be able to "understand" how the cockroach got into the cell in the first place to allow him to replicate the action to help him get out.

    It's a bit of a stretch, I know :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,905 ✭✭✭User45701


    i thought we didnt have to spoiler tag our ideas only if we actually read ahead?

    the cockroach? i thought syler could only take the mind/powers of other people who are "special"

    That's what we know so far. The cockroach is probably just a red herring.

    I said it was a stretch :)

    Interesting theory, I was thinking it could be a red herring too but they lingered on it a little bit too long.

    We also don't know what other powers Sylar has.... maybe he can control insects? :D

    COCKROACH SWARM, ATTACK!!
