Heroes 11/26/07 - "Truth & Consequences" (SPOILERS)

The only way Peter will be convinced is if he actually sees Adam kill someone and… oh, wait… never mind.

I think y’all are being a little hard on Peter. On the side of trusting Adam, he has Adam’s helping him escape the Company, Adam’s healing his horribly disfigured brother and Adam’s saving his life from Victoria’s attempt to blow his head off. On the side of not trusting Adam there’s the woman who shot Peter and developed a virus that he knows will kill six billion people.

If Peter hurts Hiro all the topless scenes that can be contrived for him will not save him from my wrath.

And Hiro telling you he killed his father…

Which was like three seconds before Hiro declared Peter his enemy and charged him with a sword.

Rigth - you’ve got time standing still, even the really bad guy can’t do anything, and you’re best choice is to charge the guy that’s got alot of kickass power?

That seems to be the Best time to monologue.

So why didn’t copy-cat girl just leave the house? She had the back-pack with the medal and the comic book. Why didn’t she leave from the second story entry, the way she came in, when she heard the bad guys returning, instead of going out of the room into the house and hiding awkwardly in pretty much plain sight?

My name is Hiro Nakamura. You killed my father. Prepare to die!

I think the Shanti virus kills people by giving them a terminal case of the stupids. Peter Petrelli has been infected as well as Mohinder Suresh. Come to think of it, so has Maya.

When Maya kissed Sylar, the entire room went “eeeeeewwww.”

What’s the deal with getting shot in the head? I thought head wounds were survivable for Peter and Claire (at least stakes to the back of the head). They just need to have the object pulled out.

Noah got shot in the head with a slug from a pistol. Had he been shot in the head with a shot gun, there would have been no head left… or so goes the theory.

So, apparently there’s a difference from getting shot in the head, and getting their head blown clean off. I guess that applies to all regenerates.

In the end, there can be only ONE! :wink:

I liked the episode as a whole… lots of stories going lots of interesting directions. But Hiro and Peter suddenly fighting at the end is just RIDICULOUS. These are two basically good people, who have met and worked together in the past, and they don’t take the time, WHILE TIME IS FROZEN AND THEY HAVE INFINITE TIME, to at least clear up a few misunderstandings?

Shee-eesh.

The writers of this series need to learn pacing, because theirs is awful.

From what I can see, to wrap up this chapter they need to:
[ul][li]cure Niki[/li][li]have the Hiro/Kensai confrontation[/li][li]release the virus[/li][li]stop the virus[/li]and
[li]travel through time and rescue Irish Girl[/li][/ul]
that’s at least 2.5 hours worth of story. And they only have an hour left to do it, which means it’ll be too rushed and not well done. It’ll be like the season finale which was just a rushed mess.

For the first several episodes, they wasted too much time on things that are not vital to the main story - the twins & Sylar, St. Joan, much (not all, but much) of the nightmare man/Parkman storyline, feudal Japan. It’s one thing to remind the audience every so often that there are other Heroes out there. But they sacrificed the pacing and probably the climax of the main story for these little trips, and that was a bad, bad decision.

Onto tonight’s story - maybe Maya and Mohinder can get together and have absolutely beautiul and incredibly stupid children.

What a way to end. I like Peter and all but I will be very upset if any harm comes to Hiro. Pretty ballsy of him to charge forward even with Peter’s hands glowing. I really hope it ends with another sword fight between Hiro and Kensei.

I wonder how Syler’s gonna convince Mohinder to give him the antidote. Maya would surely protest to any death threats Syler would give (well, maybe not, given her state of gabriel googlie-eyes), and I don’t think Syler wants Maya dead until he gets his power back.

I’m starting to doubt that all the original superfriends actually had powers. We’re near the end of season 2 and we still haven’t seen anything definite out of papa Nakamura, mama Petrelli, and now Victoria Pratt.

Hey, it worked on Sylar (sort of) in the anti-climactic season 1 finale.

Yep, a simple “He killed my father, oh, and of slightly more importance, he’ll kill 5 billion other people too” would’ve solved things.

Agreed. Guys, you’ve got, literally, all the time in the freakin’ world. Share some information!

You know, for a moment there, I thought that Peter may actually be one of the first characters on this show to ask the appropriate question. You know, the one like “Um, why is this woman, who was remarkably cooperative a minute ago, suddenly pointing a shotgun at us now that she’s seen you?” Or at least piece together the information at hand in a useful way, like “Hm, she *said * you were here to kill her, AND YOU DID. Iiiiinteresting.”

So while I get what you’re saying, I still need someone to explain to me why he’s willing to cross Hiro, whom he KNOWS to be trustworthy and ethically upright (even if he considers him misinformed), to save Adam, who has proven to be sketchy at best, and whom he doesn’t even really need anymore, now that he knows where the virus is.

Again, to be fair to Peter, Victoria started off their encounter by pointing a shotgun at him. And then lied about where the virus was in order to get a shot at Adam.

That’s the thing, I don’t agree that from Peter’s perspective Adam has been sketchy.

And told Peter that Adam planned to release the virus to kill six billion people. Not to mention that Adam released the woman with the shotgun in easy reach before he “had” to kill her. There are Labradors that are less trusting than Peter. All you have to do is tell him that he’s your friend and he’ll follow you until the next person says that he’s Peter’s bestest friend ever.

I’m really glad that they aren’t over doing the whole ticking clock sound whenever Sylar gets his power boner on, cause otherwise it’d be really annoying.

I think we should add another symptom to the Mohinder virus: a soft spot on the skull. Like the one babies have. It’s the only reason I can think of that every single person who gets hit on the head in this show goes down instantly. Alejandro got hit with a cheap motel clock and went down like Sylar put an axe in his head.

Anybody else find the whole “I’ve fallen, been stabbed, burned, etc. but this hurts even worse and it’s not getting better” a little cheesy. Fortunately for me I’ve hung out my Hatian summoning wind chimes. Remember folks. Hatian brand mind wipes. Preferred two to one over the leading commercial brain bleach.

Wow. That was… not so interesting. Rather dull, actually.

Peter really needs to get close to someone with an “I’ve got brains” superpower. Really.

He’s there with the woman whose mind he’s just read who is claiming that his buddy Adam is a bad guy. Oh, if only there was some way for him to tell if the woman whose mind he’s just read was telling the truth about Adam. Too bad there is no way for him to realize what is going on with the woman whose mind he’s just read. Freakin’ idiot, he is.

I actually did not so much mind the incredibly stupid New Orleans plot, because… Niki is pretty much going to have to actually DO SOMETHING. I mean, Jesus, the girl has super-strength and we’ve had a season-and-a-half of her whining with only the occasional dismemberment to make her power worthwhile. Sadly, Micah seems to have inherited the brains of her and his stupid little second-cousin, rather than DL (who wasn’t too bright himself, really). Nichelle Nichols is being wasted on that storyline. At least they did something with George Takai.

There’s pretty much no way for them not to leave dangling plot lines after the next episode. The writers’ strike just isn’t going to allow them to tie everything up.

Sylar: “This is where Dr. Suresh lives with a young girl.”
Maya: “Is he home?”
Sylar: “No, but he loves it when I kick in the door.”
CRASH!
Maya: “You’re so handsome.”
