Heroes 12/4: "Fallout"

This really is a spoiler

The show will gain a hero, too. Claude, an invisible man played by British actor Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who), appears Jan. 22. So is his name a nod to Claude Rains?

Actually, you presented it in the form of conjecture, which also tends to get put into fucking spoiler boxes around these parts, by saying that it was something you “think.” Clearly indicating that it’s a spoiler by prefacing it with something along the lines of “According to an interview with the creators” removes all doubt.

Wile e is that confirmed? I heard the rumor but wasn’t sure.

Yes, it’s been confirmed.

I don’t know, I can absolutely see Hiro panic-phasing back to the Cretaceous (or the Jurassic, or whenever) if Bomb-Guy or Bomb-Sylar detonates nearby. We’ve already seen that Hiro sees the blast wave and scrunches his eyes shut, and it’s safe to assume that he makes it out. It is also a good assumption that, in a normal timeline, Hiro

  • gets visited by himself
  • sees the blast wave
    and then
  • visits himself

But we can’t be sure that visiting himself is his first stop after the blast. In a panic, he could end up teleporting to damn near anywhen.

Where does he get the sword then? Does he stop in the middle ages first?

It’s a katana.

Ebay, most likely.

Seriously, he could get it anywhere and anytime (after steel and swords have been invented, anyway). I’m sure people will be freezing the frame and analyzing whether it’s a katana or a scimitar or a longsword or whatever else, which could narrow down the possibilities somewhat.

Still he teleports to the age of the dinosaurs? I just don’t see it happening.

I got a katana a few weeks ago at a fantasy/sci fi convention for $25. But I don’t think I’d want to go up against a dinosaur with it.

I don’t know how clear the painting was but he was wearing a katana when he met Peter on the subway.

Great Episode!!
Does anyone have any ideas as to what went on in Peter’s jail cell when he was talking to Nathan who suddenly turned into Sylar? Did any of that conversation actually take place or was he dreaming the whole thing?

Who was Mohinder talking to on the phone about the list?

Does Hiro, Ando and Isaac now think the cheerleader is dead so they have failed to save the world? (Count me in with those who are frustrated with the subtitles, go by too fast and the white color makes reading it even harder.)

Presumably American legal authorities. He sounded like he was trying to get the police to protect those on the list.

Mohinder was talking to the FBI. They were giving him the run around. He metioned talking to Quantico which is closely associated with the FBI although it is their training center as far as I know.

Anyone have any thoughts on what might happen with Claire, now that she’s found out about her AED? I am very curious as to what the Haitian’s story might be.

Has Peter been around the radioactive man? His sickness reminded me of radiation sickness.

The scene of Peter’s vision was filmed several months ago in Los Angeles (it was Grand Avenue and Sixth Street). Now I understand, why traffic was so bad.

The Nathan Petrelli Campaign Headquarters were a Social Security Administration office today. That storefront is left empty because its owner must be able to get a lot of money for it for filming purposes.

Heh. Hell, I wouldn’t be comfortable trusting my life to a blade that cost a few hundred. I’d be looking at multiple thousands of bucks before I’d trust it to do more than look cool.

Mr Bennet, I will say, is Not Evil - but the road to Hell, as they say, is paved with good intentions - and he’s making a lot of mistakes and thus trundling merrily down that well-paved road. I’m glad the Hatian seems to have a better idea of what’s going down. Or else the Hatian really IS evil.

I’ll miss Eden, but it was a good way to go out.

About Peter’s dream at the end - it really feels symbolic, but there’s some interesting points suggesting valid information. If it were purely symbolic, it would probably just include people he knew, but Niki, DL, Micah, and Hiro, none of whom he’s met (and he’s not even heard of Niki, DL, or Micah) are present. Still, though, I don’t think it’s LITERAL, just there’s real information to be drawn out of it without interpreting the symbolism.

They’ve never met.

Boy, I’m really gonna have to watch this one again.

Eden had been living next door to Mohinder-dad for awhile, and had met Sylar? She really was friends with papa Suresh? Apparently Eden and AED knew about Sylar, but didn’t do anything about him until he started killing?

I think AED relies on Haitian way too much, and Haitian is the reason AED struts around super-types so confidently. Haitian is evidently the only reason people can’t use their powers at the facility (did Eden call it the reservation?). She should have realized it’s really stupid to get close to Sylar when Haitian isn’t on premises. Then again, is Eden really dead? Probably but the previews shows Sylar lying on the floor like he didn’t get away.

Heh, I totally guessed right about why Claire’s mom is such a ditz. Anyone who claims AED isn’t still ambiguously evil explain how he can have his wife’s brain wiped so many times.

Haitian pretty clearly seems to have his own agenda and I bet even AED doesn’t know he can talk. But what the heck is Haitian up to? Why is it important Claire keep her memory and not let dad know?

Can Haitian restore memory once he’s wiped it? That really sucks about Ambiguously Gay Zach.

What the heck is going on with Peter? Hello? That Sanjog Lyer kid is the dream walker. He’s headed for a power overload, similar to what AED said was happening to Sylar? Maybe it’s his brief exposure to Sylar’s multiple powers that are causing Peter’s sickness. In his vision he didn’t have a scar yet, for whatever that’s worth.

Why do bullets “not work” on Sylar? The telekinesis or something else?

They’re spending way too much time on Niki. I really don’t care about her storyline or how she could possibly fit into the greater scheme of things.
