The HEROES thread

Million · 2009-02-04T08:05:42.000Z

oh yes…That Other Nikki whose name I forgot…it’s hot just seeing her KOed like that while wearing the flimsy little robe. I definitely would’ve at least put my hand up the back of her little robe while she was out…get a good feel on those sweet cheeks. She has been looking better than ever last season and now this one.

hey this is a long time ago.

(*have to depend on the G4 repeat here since I can’t miss The BAUER?. Monday nights ar all about 24 for me.)

FreddyL0c0:

Season 5: irish girl back from the future, with revenge in her mind!

lol, I actually said that last season.

RileyFreeman:

And Claire looked like a whore in that heavy makeup.

I concur, I’m actually not that attracted to her now that she’s gone skankish.

Sazae:

Fuck Claire, Sylar needs to punch her in the mouth and remind her that she is a damn little kid and not fucking Wonder Woman.

I had to wake my wife up at 3 am (watched the show in Tivo) to tell her that since the show pissed me off she gets to be pissed off by being woken up early in the morning.

Normal bullshit for the whole show that ya’ll have already touched on but the thing that got me the most was the fucking music. They have NO sense of what kind of music sets a mood for what scene and then they just leave their shitty music playing the whole damn show. Near the end I had to mute it and watch it with captions.

I know we all hate Heroes, but when you start muting the show because you can’t stand the music, I think you should just stop watching the show altogether.

This episode is passable, considering the unrivaled levels of BS I’ve seen in the prior seasons. However, Nathan’s douchebaggery and flip floppery is ruining the season from day one.

If normal people can keep producing “Heroes”, why the hell does Nathan think his plan will work flawlessly?

He can’t possibly seek redemption this season after turning good, then bad, then good, then bad again. Same potentially goes for HRG, who’s really a disappointment at this point.

I’m going to LMFAO if the place the prisoners are going to is named Manjosha.

The_Damned · 2009-02-04T11:57:21.000Z

I really can’t decide whether Milo Ventomiglia’s “I’m having a stroke” face or Ali Larter’s habit of keeping her mouth open with her top teeth visible more annoying.

Probably the former, even though I don’t think I’ll be able to stop myself from laughing since I’ve figured out who Al Larter reminds me of.

YellowS4:

Just make Sylar a good guy again with problems.

…When was Sylar ever a good guy? The brief stint in Season 3 before he killed one of the many dead non-Asian minorities?

bmckay:

0Yeah. Should be easy now, though. Might get kinda awkward touching everyone, though. “Half Lip I have to hold your hand. Please.”

Good to see I’m not that only person that gets annoying by The Stroke Face.

bmckay:

Peter needs to touch Sylar. And then they need to hang out and have a few drinks. That’s all I’m waiting for. Peter and Sylar to actually team up for some real shit.

Pfft.

The only way they would be teaming up would be in bed. This show is SO full of pseudo-incest that it’s just WTF on top of all the other WTF.

It would certainly explain why everyone’s retarded.

The_Doctor:

When Nikki died, it was the best day of my life.

For her, it was just Tuesday.

The_Doctor:

Are we assuming that the Invisible man is his father or just someone that can see the future?

I’m not sure what people are collectively assuming, but considering the nature of this show and the fact that Claude hasn’t been around since Season 1 (which is why I was somewhat surprised they mentioned in Season 3, as abortive as it was), it’s probably yet another unneccesary precog.

There was no explanation as to why none of them have spoken or why Noah is all of a sudden working for/with Nathan Petrelli, the most frustrating, confused and non consistant character of all time. Gotta be mind control, right?

It was probably just for Claire’s safety like always, though she’s not really worth protecting…

Does anyone else hate Clair Bennett with a passion?

raises hand

I feel like 80% of the show is filler and the only time I’m smiling while watching the show is when it involves Hiro, Peter when he’s not talking with his retardo lips, Sylar, and, though it pains me to say, Mohinder.

And now you’re dead me.

angryliberal:

The show hasn’t gotten any better, it just shifted the plot, but retained the same BS crutches.

Pretty much.

Apathy-Inc:

Loeb was fired but I believe it was said that his scripts will run until episode 15 or 16.

Geez. That far?

What the fuck was the point of firing him if they were going to keep that much?

FreddyL0c0:

yeah ure right actually. guess im just trying to find reasons. but i always forget that Heroes is a cartoon

That’s a grave insult to all cartoons, even the shittier ones.

You are also dead to me now.

angryliberal:

I don’t know what was a bigger plotline fuck up, all of season 2 or the state of people’s powers after season 3, pt A.

Well, considering that the Season 3, part A, was supposed to be part of Season 2 AND that everything from Season 2 ended literally not happening or not mattering–seriously, ALL of the characters introduced in Season 2 aren’t around anymore–at all means that Season 2 is actually still somehow worse than Season 3.

Horrible, I know.

angryliberal:

btw, Claire’s new name is Ho-Hinder…cuz she is the new Mohinder…fucking shit up all over the place…

Fine with me.

Million:

oh yes…That Other Nikki whose name I forgot…)

You posting in this thread about Ali Larter with that particular Mayuri avatar is SO ironic considering that just a few hours ago I decided that she reminds me of fucking Nnoitra, who I briefly remember you making fun of.

white_shadow:

Ummm…what?

By “normal people producing ‘Heroes’”, do you mean other people having The Touch formula? Or merely that other people with powers will arise regardless of how many he rounds up?

REVELATION EDIT: Now that I think about it, after watching the preview for the animated version of Swing Back the Pendelum, Ali Larter actually looks more like Shinji Hirako, from the same-colored haired to the constant toothy “smile” thing.

blooper · 2009-02-04T12:00:43.000Z

just for clarification, how long does this last episode happen after the whole pinehurst explosion? i mean, they talk like its been a very long time… and it must have been because theyve moved on and gotten jobs and whatever. but its still not convincing that it was more than like… a month and a half between the two episodes.

if sylar didnt die from a shard of glass severing his spine, how did papa patrelli die from a bullet? hmmmmm? HMMMMMM? and does mama patrelli know that sylar is alive? cuz after the whole “trying to convince claire” scene, im skeptical about her… shes a lying whore.

why i put so much effort into figuring this show out? i dont know. =\

the latter.

During Claire’s bitchfest with Angela, I believe it was said that the season opener begins three months after the whole Pinehurst bullshit.

Also, Sylar is magical.

FreddyL0c0 · 2009-02-04T12:29:01.000Z

ive been Damned because of Heroes…

great way to start the season!

About 2 months I think they made reference to it.

I think she did know Sylar was alive. Nathan knew Sylar was heading to his pops place where agents were waiting. My guess is his mum tipped him off.

darksoul173 · 2009-02-04T18:51:52.000Z

Actuly from what i know they are using Loeb script until like ep 5 or 6 and they got back to writers from season 1 and new writers from Galactica

buyproduct · 2009-02-04T19:34:04.000Z

RileyFreeman:

Oh we know. I don’t know what I will do if they have a killer robot in an episode. Or collars that nullify abilities. Shit, they might even do what they did in the Weapon X comic, and strap the Haitian to a satellite dish to widen the range of his power dampening abilities.

If they could do this, what would be the point of rounding up the people with powers?

Did Gramps have his own healing ability or was he using stored portions of Adam’s blood to do it?

buyproduct · 2009-02-04T20:25:39.000Z

bmckay:

He got healing from pete and adam, tick bearhug style. I think his original power was rouge style power stealing, except it was permenant.

From the wiki:

Arthur Petrelli had the ability to steal the abilities of other evolved humans. By making physical contact, Arthur took Adam Monroe’s ability and was immediately able to access it, healing the nerve damage that had left him paralyzed. A person whose ability Arthur has stolen is left powerless.
He claimed to have absorbed all of Peter’s abilities after touching him, leaving Peter without his abilities; however, he did not demonstrate all of the abilities that Peter possessed.
Acquired Abilities

blooper · 2009-02-04T20:50:42.000Z

damn. peter was broken as hell. then to top it all off, you add a dude that can steal all that shit permanently while leaving teh dude that he stole it from, weak and powerless… thats god tier. pops had to die.

I don even think it will work, honestly. Last season the Hatian almost passed out because he was unable to dampen Arthur petrelli for more than a coulple of minutes.

Haitian plus Ando = ?

Adam Warlock:

Haitian plus Ando = ?

But wouldnt Ando be powerless as soon as he enters the Hatians presence? I dont think the Haitan controls his power, it just happens.

Hatian is crazy. He has TWO powers, something that a lot of people forget (hurk). He can block your power and/or make your forget some shit.

Which lends the question, how would Stroke Face or Geritol Man get his ability if both of their abilities are blocked in his presence? Like, Sylar could catch dude while he’s sleeping or high or something and open him up, but Stroke Face wouldn’t do that. Geritol Man would but he seems to be afraid of him.

No, he controls it. He can choose to leave your power on.

LightningStorm · 2009-02-05T00:31:19.000Z

Adam Warlock:

I’m of the opinion that he does control it too, but not in the way I think you are insinuating.

I think his powers are automatic, in that people’s powers are disabled automatically, unless he specifically decides to allow them. And that there are special cases (like Arthur) where they are powerful enough to override the automatic part and require him to actually try, and of course even then he might not be able to do it.
