I just thought it was the ipod because that was the biggest frequency or the sound.

but that anything else would bug him to at that high of a frequency rate.

If what you speculate is correct, that would seem to imply that Sylar has a conscience? Despite the general ambiguity of the characters' in the show alliances (good v evil), it seemed pretty clear that Sylar was evil or at least bad-getting worse. The quest and lust for more power has further warped Sylar's mind. He certainly kills with reckless abandon and it is not just limited to people with abilities. He also takes innocent lives like the truck driver in Texas, his "torture" of Mrs. Bennet, all demonstrate a raised level of psychosis. Same with Peter. In some ways, you can see Peter heading down a similar path ala "power corrupts" etc. The guy is getting worse and revealed his dark side in his cruel treatment of Isaac.

Perhaps a conscience, or the fact he's going against nature. Remember, he can see how things work as his natural power. Doesn't mean he can always put them back together, especially when it comes to life yknow? It seems that he assumed he knew exactly how life worked, like he knew how to work machines. I got the impression he's finding out otherwise.

Yeah. I think the one thing that made me think otherwise was the fact that he had the radio on in the car...or I thought he did anyway. I assumed that was to drown out the noise.

Maybe someone has brought this up before in this thread and I missed it, but it just occurred to me.

If Claire's family wasn't able to have any children when they adopted Claire, where did her brother come from?

Fertility clinic or another super human that hasn't found his abilities?

777 02-27-2007 12:49 PM

Couples that have trouble concieving children start having kids after an adoption. That happened to a friend of mine. After he was adopted, his parents gave birth to 3 kids afterwards.

Last night's episode was interesting. I guess Mr. Bennet isn't really the bad guy. More of a misunderstood anti-hero.

Charlatan 02-28-2007 06:44 AM

episode five just ran here in asia... i can't wait to catch up to you guys so i can actually read the rest of this thread (i am just posting this without reading anymore).

i am not going to speculate on anything because i am much of it has been laid out already.

all i am going to say is this series is awesome. i am hoping it gets better.

ohhh my friend.. it does.. it gets MUCH better!.. your only on ep 5.. I speculate I have a mild form of Issac's power as i can see your furture... you will become engrossed with this series and will rack your brain trying to wrap your head around all the twists and turns. good luck and god speed.

jorgelito 02-28-2007 09:36 AM

Finally!!! What an awesome episode, much better than the last two. So much explained and more questions aroused.

So is Thompson the top of OWI or is there another head above him? I get the feeling that an organization like that has a higher layer that never hits the field, more of a behind closed doors thing. Still, it was kind of dumb for him to shoot at Ted, because if he was paying attention at all he should have known what Ted can do.

The back story was phenomenal. I love the scene on the rooftop of the Deveaux building when Hiro's father was giving Claire to HRG. And what's up with everyone speaking Japanese, it makes me think Mr. Nakamura is the guy at the top or at the very least, very high up.

I thought there was going to be more behind how HRG got his glasses.

Loved the bridge scenes, nicely done. Beautiful and very symbolic.

I was really itching to see Hannah though. We do know that she wanted to go after the higher ups but I wanted to follow that story. Plus, I thought it would have been good if she was at the Bennett house and PrimaTech cause then she could have intercepted a lot of the communications and gotten some answers for our trio.

Lyle is also adopted by the way. Besides, the Bennetts didn't adopt Claire by choice, HRG was ordered to, although there does seem to be some discrepancy as to the motive. In the episode, it appears HRG is quite uncomfortable with the notion of adopting or caring for Claire, but is ordered to do so by Mr. Nakumura. But in the graphic novel, HRG appears to have softened and vows to take care of Claire.

Man, what is up with Simone coming back from the dead? Please don't let that happen, that would be so lame. I think she sucked so I was happy when they offed her.

The more I think about it, the more I think Mr. Deveaux may have been an empath. And Peter "absorbed" his power. There is something very significant about the building (the rooftop), Deveaux, Claude, and Peter that is all tied together. Maybe even Simone a little too but she was supposed to have died.

I wonder who the other "new" partner is. This Candice. She kind of looks like Hannah but I'm curious to see what her ability is. Will Parkman end up working for OWI or will he refuse?

Anyways, finally, a great episode. Can't wait til next week.

Jove 03-01-2007 03:46 PM

Don't you think when radioactive man created a mini-explosion in the house that the other heroes would have received some major radiation poisoning?

jorgelito 03-01-2007 03:52 PM

Well, the "science and physics" on this show is already challenged.

There is usually an amount of suspended disbelief you should allow for a show, especially a science fiction show, and more so, a show about mutations.:thumbsup:

I loved the last episode!

Siege 03-04-2007 07:23 PM

Just finished watching today's episode.

I have to say that I really enjoyed this one. But at the same time, makes you start to wonder... who DOESN'T know something about the heroes? Seems that outsiders know more than the actual heroes :lol:

fresnelly 03-04-2007 07:37 PM

In tonight's episode, at least Hiro's day went well. This series has been a real downer lately.

Locke7 03-07-2007 07:03 AM

I agree, and one of the biggest downers are these breaks. I mean the show rocked the first episodes. Since the first break, they haven't been nearly as good, and now we have to wait another 7 weeks?

I was so excited for Hiro to get his sword, and because he gets it dissappears and I have to wait 7 weeks I was kind of like eh, whatever.

And please, Claire's dad is supposed to be pretty smart right. He couldn't figure out the possibility that it might not be his wife he's really talking to? Painfull...

I'm thoroughly depressed, I was so in to this show earlier this season, but the disappointments have been piling up lately.

shoegirl 03-07-2007 01:18 PM

I'm still a huge fan of this show! I, too, hate the breaks - but every show has them. At least by the time May Sweeps rolls around, we should be seeing the very best the show has to offer. And, hopefully, some big questions will get answered. It looks like Nathan & Peter's mother definitely knows more than she led on. Exactly how much does she know?

God of Thunder 03-07-2007 02:37 PM

Can anyone translate what the Haitian and Claire's grandma (Mrs. Petrelli) were saying to each other?

I took French in high school, but that is longer ago then I wish to admit.

jusolson00 03-07-2007 09:41 PM

A shape shifter!!.. thats just awesome.. my heart just sank when it wasnt HRG's wife he was confiding in... I kinda seen it coming , but still!.. And I guess we also see how peter gets his scar!!.... Should be a good battle between sylar and peter.. 7 weeks?... damnit... just damnit...

Locke7 03-08-2007 01:21 PM

OK, I've cooled off now, and am still crazy about this show, but my thoughts exactly about the 7 weeks.

Siege 04-23-2007 06:11 PM

Tonight's episode was GREAT. Or it could be that the withdrawl I was suffering from the lack of Heroes has ended.

They're putting shape shifter girl to a lot of use. I wish they'd say something about her.

And i'm really curious about how isaac teaches the others how to kill sylar.

YaWhateva 04-24-2007 06:40 AM

fantastic episode! I really like the actor playing Linderman, and I still dislike Nikki/Jessica and Micah. Their story just bugs the hell out of me. I can't wait for next week, the future they don't want to happen.

ratbastid 04-24-2007 07:16 AM

This episode was awesome. Next week will be FREAKIN awesome.

Linderman is played by Malcom McDowell. IMDB him--it's a major coup for Heroes to have gotten him.

Fremen 04-24-2007 02:10 PM

I wonder what Mama Petrelli's power is.

Also, who doesn't remove a big-ass glass shard from a seemingly dead guy, to show a little bit of respect for the dead?

Weren't they curious how he died?

Me too my friend, though I wonder maybe if it has to do with some sort of Iassic like power as when Nathan and Peter we talking at the end she said something like she had known their decision or something along those lines.

Interesting how her and Linderman and popping up with powers. I wonder what Linderman needs Micah for, at first I was thinking to fix the computer with the 'list' on it but I don't think so now as he seems to already know about most of them.

Hard to believe this season is almost over and next season is a whole 'nother storyline with new characters (which is both really cool and kind of sucks).

I was thinking that it was probably something in his sketch book that he gave the delivery guy - or something that was in the last comic book he drew. Just my guess, though.

I would assume that the newest comic that he sent to the publisher would be the instruction manual.

777 04-25-2007 07:40 AM

You know, I think Issac can fight the future, he's just in denial about it. I mean, he could have simply, not been home, the night that Sylar would come by to kill him :)

And there was a golden oppertunity to put a bullet in Sylar's brain this episode, and they didn't take it. ARG!

Seriously, you've knocked him out cold and you decide to......run away?

pixelbend 04-25-2007 08:44 AM

Probably, after trying to shoot Sylar and see him stop the bullet and then having him cut you up and stick you to the ceiling for an undetermined amount of time, Mohinder was just scared and ready to run for his life.

Maybe Sylars out for a minute, maybe an hour, but do you really want to chance the time to pick up the gun and shoot him?

As opposed to carrying a dead man over your shoulders out the apartment?


But yeah, people don't exactly do the most rational things when they are scared.

Rekna 04-26-2007 10:29 AM

I'm not into the series as much as I was before the break. The episode wasn't up to par with the rest of them. I find myself more interested in lost again. I heard the ratings are down a bunch also. The moral of the story is that the networks need to stop placing insanely long breaks in the middle of the seasons. Just make enough episodes to cover the whole season!

Leto 04-26-2007 10:35 AM

i hear you.. What's up withthat anyways? a season should be: sept to may. end of story. Re-runs during summer. No breaks for anything special and no repeats during the season.

don't tell me that it's too expensive. It's the cost of doing business. At this point I just want to borrow the series on DVD after it has completed.

I figure to do something to steal the election. Either influence the polls since most people just want to vote for the winner or to do the actual manipulation of the results.

I forgot that Mohinder had a cab, but he's been home to India and returned since then. He wasn't in a cab when they met the Super-hearing lady (rip). :lol:

777 04-28-2007 08:25 AM

Hey, did you guys notice that Syler used Prosuader Girl's power on Isaac in his apartment shortly before crusifying him to the floor?

StellaLuna 04-28-2007 10:26 AM

He didn't, and he couldn't have-- Eden shot herself so he wouldn't get her power. That was just a nifty "ooh, look how evil I am" effect. Otherwise he could have commanded Mohinder to let him go, etc.

777 04-28-2007 11:12 AM

No, he does do the voice. I believe that Syler found what he needed from what was left of Eden's brain. Isaac couldn't show Sylar "The Plan" because he doesn't have it. And getting "brushed" to the floor broke the suggestion. Besides, the show has plenty of otherwise this, and why didn't they do that. :)

Jove 04-30-2007 06:05 PM

Sylar is pretty hardcore in this future episode since he killed the shape shifter illusionist and everyone else who had awesome powers. I just hope someone can destroy Sylar, but it doesn't look like it.

YaWhateva 04-30-2007 06:18 PM

um, Spoiler: this episode foreshadowed Sylar's death (in the present). Since Claire was saved, Hiro can do what future Hiro did but failed. And it was a totally awesome episode! Future Hiro and Peter were great. Parkman being a bad guy was pretty neato.
