Heroes 3/5: "Parasite" (SPOILERS)

I was thinking that Sylar was never really paralyzed at all. He was just playing along so that once Mohinder got his DNA and broke the code, Sylar would then be able to have the complete list of Heroes, which is what he wanted all along.

But when he had him pinned to the wall, he said “You’re just like me!”, didn’t he?

Ah. I do remember that part, but I did not recognize that Isaac was painting himself. Thanks!

Why would he need a mole at Primatech? He runs the whole thing. Just speculation of course. On one side we have Linderman running Primatech and the organization behind it on the other we have Mamma Petrelli running the mutant underground railroad. We will probably find out it was started by her husband. He was Linderman’s lawyer and found out what was going on so he did his best to help.
A note to the producers. If you are going to have a big character reveal (Malcom MacDowell is Linderman, Claude returns as AED’s partner) don’t put their name in the opening credits.

Sorry. I pulled his quote from your post and then scrolled up to get he name and got yours instead of his.

That is exactly as I saw it. Sylar is nuts so he doesn’t mind getting jabbed in the spine to get what he wants.

Missed that (and who was that curator anyway?) but I had really hoped that Mohinder was going to say "You killed my father, prepare to die … "

I like that we now clearly seem to have 2 groups… Momma Petrelli’s (of which Linderman seems to be a member) and Primatech. Based on the Haitan’s swerve alone, we can assume that the Petrelli group has better benefits.

4 genes control the supers? Just how long did that DNA analysis take? I want one of them laptops!!!

As far as Sylar learning control… the inital affects of the drug took him by surprise, he had ‘some time’ to learn a way around them… I don’t see that as a big deal… learning to move the small item stopped the drug which put him back to full strength… “Now wiggle your big toe!”.

presumably Primatech could tell if Matt was lying, and his power has been demonstrated flaky at times against Bennet… plus Bennet didn’t remember (at that time) that he had told his wife anything…

Presumably the mission to help Isaac (what do they have, video feeds to the apartment? that response time was better than the cops in the same city!) was to allow other Primatech thugs to work over Mrs Bennet.

Most other points have already been covered.

“Now you can’t have any of my pot pie” is possibly the greatest line ever said on television.

I think you are reaching with that. Just MNSHO. YMMV.

my conjecture is that he doesn’t know that he’s teleported to the future yet. As far as he knows, he’s in the same time frame (although from past experience his teleportation seems to have a time component) I suspect once he realizes it he’ll try to get to a better temporal location, leading to the wacky adventures of Hiro and Ando through time and fighting dinosaurs and samurai. (but god i hope that doesn’t take up more than an episode)
As to peter, I suppose he could end up with a scar despite his healing ability. Bet Sylar will be awfully pissed when the cut starts closing around his head as he cuts it, and I bet Peter will be awfully pissed when he loses his emo bangs. Also, I bet this is only round 1 of Peter V. Sylar.

Linderman could have additional Isaac paintings we’ve never seen. Isaac created an indeterminate number of the paintings, and Linderman has a lot of them, he could have one showing Nathan in front of the whitehouse, and possibly some of the “implausible” middle steps that get him there.

Ok - you guys made me look up “emo.”

For other old farts like me, it’s sort of short for “emotion,” which is a type of punk rock music, so it follows that “emo hair style” is a punk rocker type of hair-do.

Please correct me if I’ve got it all wrong…

I just found out by reading this thread that we have to wait four freakin’ weeks! for the next episode.

AAAGGHHH!

I love this show. Can you tell?

The actor, Milo Ventimiglia, has some dead nerve endings in his lip.

I saw the crane swinging a girder on the right side of the screen, but I didn’t see any construction or movement - I thought that was meant to convey how quickly the blast took everyone by surprise. And I’ll have to watch again, but I didn’t see any moving vehicle - I did see a bird flying in the background left to right.

Ian Gomez. I remembered him from The Drew Carey Show. (Check out who he’s married to - didn’t know that one…)

The most impressive display of power this episode was Ando’s action/adventure ability to crack into Linderman’s security organization.

Storywise, I think it makes more sense for Linderman to be a separate interest from Primatech. I also hope that he is not an ally of Nathan’s mom.

The Nathan as Guilliani with his own NY disaster is great but I don’t think that the idea would go down too well with the network or the audience.

They are going to blackmail Matt into working for Primatech by threatening his family. They obviously have some tech that can stop him from reading their minds while at the facility since Matt couldn’t read Bennet’s there. Probably the same device that kept Sylar down.

The special effect for morphing girl looks like she just projects an illusion but didn’t Nathan touch and even kiss her? He should have felt something off unless she projects the change into the mind.

Well, now I feel like shit.

Oh god, I just had a horrible, horrible thought.

What if Peter accesses Claire’s healing ability and heals his emo haircut back?!

What if Peter heals the haircut and also gets Sylar’s eyebrows?!

That would be really, really scary. Those eyebrows scare me more than anything else. Perhaps they are a separate entity(entities?) that is controlling Sylar? Like the mustache in an episode of The Tick.

Yeah, I don’t think Ando has powers he’s just proving what Hiro said earlier in the season, that you don’t need powers to be a hero. Ando threw that back at him when he lost his powers.

Anyway, like I said, Ando doesn’t have powers but he boosts Hiro’s confidence and functions somewhat like the stupid sword is supposed to.

She created an entire background scene of Simone not being dead back in Isaac’s loft. Annoying ability, and all the more reason she needs to die a horrible and pain-filled death.

I don’t mind Mohimbo underestimating Sylar’s drug resistance. We’ve seen Sylar adapt & overcome a dosage of drugs which were supposed to be strong enough to stop an elephant or some such thing. But it was so obvious Sylar was going to adapt, that whole scene at Mohinder’s place was painful to watch. I kept yelling, “drug him some more! Drug him some more! NOW BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!”

Did he come in contact with her?

She replaced Mrs. Bennet and Simone, that’s all I can recall. Can’t remember if anyone touched her.

Mr. Bennet kissed her when she was Mrs. B. I expected him to figure it out then.

Nathan never came in contact with her in any way. I assumed Sir Prize meant Mr. Bennet.
