Heroes thread

#1 Post by gsabc » Tue Oct 14, 2008 7:05 am

Spoiled for all the DVRers out there.
Spoiler
MIA characters: Nathan's wife and kids, Molly (seen only in last week's "future" segment), the Sabra who did something with satellite reception (seen only briefly in Season 1 in the search for Ted The Nuclear Man), Lt. Uhura, Micah's cousin, Claire's flying boyfriend. Also that funky stylized "f" symbol that used to appear everywhere in Season 1.

Should have seen the Parkman, Senior link with the phantom Linderman coming. Makes perfect sense in retrospect.

Mohinder: Now THAT'S a Spider-man!

Long-term, long-shot prediction: they kill off Claire at the end of the series to save the world. The three Petrelli brothers go with her.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Spoiler
Has Papa Petrelli ever been mentioned before? What kind of dreadful mind control power does he have, to inspire such fear in his minions, even while in an apparent coma?

And did Hiro and Ando have the opportunity to work out a scam on the bad guys? If not--WTF??? :shock:

The satellite girl supposedly now is part of the internet. Don't ask. Claire's squeeze is history, and probably Micah's NO family as well. Haven't heard anything about Nathan's family.
Must! Wash! Hands!

Okay, I missed it completely, as did my equally Heroes-obsessed co-worker. Where was it?

It'll be a shame if they don't bring back Micah's cousin, the copycat girl.

"the satellite girl" was Hanna Gittleman

The card the Vortex dude showed Claire. The statue outside the building where Parkman Sr. was lurking while Speedster spoke to "Linderman."

I'm trying to refresh my memory about these characters. Parkman, Sr. is Papa Petrilli's minion, who's apparently controlling these Linderman apparitions? :?

Yes.

One of the older crew shown in a photo last season when Adam was trying to kill them all off.
How come you get spoilers with "Reveal/Obscure", while mine are just black?

Use the "spoiler=" tage instead of the "spoiler" tag

Really, though, I'm so close to done with this show. There's character development, and then there's changing a character's personality every single week to fit wherever you want the plot to go.

I don't have any empathy with anyone on the show anymore, because I feel like I don't know who any of them are. And not because the show is slowly revealing people's true personalities, but rather because they don't HAVE true personalities.

And to waste Bubbles like that is SUCH a shame.

If they had to cancel a Monday Night show from last year, I wish they would have canceled this and kept Journeyman.

Andre Royo. The vortex guy. Played probably my favorite character in the best show in the history of television.

I agree. That whole Suresh thing makes me want to pack it in.

Oooh. I still like Hiro. In fact, they should just get rid of everybody else and call the show Hiro.

On a related note, I just watched my DVRed My Own Worst Enemy and liked that very much.
