The heroes: redemption thread with spoilers

The way chief Carny man transported Tracy to the fair suggests that he has lots of powers. He does the ink thing, the controlling earth thing and also seems to be able to bring people to the Carnival. Or brings the carnival to them.

Either way he is ace

the ink thing is soil-in-tattoo-ink isnt it? my money is on another carny doing the teleporting/hiding magic

i'm not saying he aint cool though
 
Watched it all now, can't help feeling it was a massive missed opportunity.

I read a rumour that -

Hiro doesn't hesitate and kills Sylar immediately, forcing Samuel to travel back and convince him to spare him to avoid messing up the timeline, which I think would have been much better and given a glimpse of badass Hiro.

Instead we got Sylar inexplicably helping Hiro (surely he'd just slice him up there and then and find out his own future?) and a boring romance subplot with HRG.

Ending was interesting (then again I'm probably one of the few people who like Mohinder's character), but overall a disappointing episode.

And WTF was with that small vignette at the carnival with the 2 kids and Darth Maul?
 
the small vignette is something to do with the ' viacom '( i think ) sponsorship , through out the series ( although ive only seen 1 of them) on 1 ad break there are these little webisode type things ) as the story goes so far , the tattoo woman is hiding her daughter from Samuel , dont know where its going with Darth maul tho....

i also heard about the hiro / syler thing which i agree would have been so much better the way it was intended......

Ah right, they're normally cut out of my downloads.

I used to read the graphic novel installments too, but lost interest.
 
also as far as the peeps with abilities go , is he really that evil?

We don't really know what he's up to do we? Except he seems to have killed Mohinder, but then who among us hasn't been tempted to kill that sanctimonious arse from time to time?

e2a: fuck me what a waste of my 10,000th post :(
 
Also, several things pissed me off regarding Noah in this episode -

Firstly, HE KNOWS WHAT SYLAR LOOKS LIKE, they ret-conned this particular piece of info during Villains when they show him sending Elle in to draw out the 'real' Sylar in a flashback set well before Homecoming.

Secondly, his daughter is a day away from being butchered (as shown in several prophetic pictures), and he seems to be a tad pre-occupied with the idea of banging his work colleague?

I really can't be arsed keeping track of it all any more. But you'd expect the people writing the fucking thing to have half a clue :rolleyes:

And would Sylar really be held prisoner by a fucking luggage locker? Really?

Wrysmile and I had the immediate thought when we saw Mohinder's corpse:

'Is his real power a complete inability to make accurate character assessments of people?'

:D

I assumed he'd droned on about his 'father's research' until Samuel accidentally-on-purpose shot him.

Watching online, the picture wasn't super-great, but what did it look like Mohinder actually died from? Scorch marks and multiple entry wounds are what I could make out.
 
Looked like a load of ice bullets or something. You'd think that watching a 720p HD file would help, but nooooo...
 
Hiro really is a bit of a tit.

Had some genuine pathos though, even if Heroes really needs to not do time travel at all.
 
:D

Very good episode in parts (Sylar / Matt mainly), interesting in others (Noah / Samuel), dragging in some (Peter / Deaf lady).

Felt like a build-up to next week's episode more than anything.
 
yeah, nothing major happened. Why doesn't Peter offer to heal deaf lady?

Hmmm, perhaps it works in the same way that Noah still needs glasses after being brought back from the dead by Claires blood, pre-existing conditions don't count or something (like a shit insurance company)?
 
what about the matt / sylar stuff ? , that was pretty major.....

It was good, but we know it's just building up to Sylar getting his body back (and I think Matt may have inadvertently speeded up this process by getting himself mortally wounded, I wonder who has healing powers?).

I don't think anybody really expects them to kill either Matt or Sylar off.

And unless Gretchen comes back, that whole storyline was completely pointless and didn't even deliver proper nawty girl-on-girl action :mad:
