Yeah, but... huh?

I mean, that is what happened, but why would consent be involved? I don't think Peter even saw that Mountain-man guy do anything nuclear and he was still able to recreate the ability.

This show isn't even trying to make sense anymore.....

Wasn't it the Haitian that was buying the stolen part of the formula from the speedster?
And the Haitian is working for Ma Petrelli.....
So WTF with her acting like she didn't know where it is?!?

Sad to keep watching a show out of habit instead of it being any good.

Ha! Maybe he'll eventuall pull a Doctor Who - Five Doctors except on an extreme scale. Keep going back in five minute increments and grabbing yourself until you have an army.

I don't mean to join in on the hating for this show but seriously....there isn't a single cylinder firing on this thing right now. The storylines are ridicoulous, and the fact that nobody can die in this thing basically demotes anybodys actions. I wouldn't be suprised if Isaac Mendez magically showed up again shortly.

I'm with the above poster in that I'm basically watching out of habit, if this continues I may soon have the gull to ditch the thing altogether.

They do like killing people in the [avoidable] future, though. And don't give the writers any ideas. Peter or Hiro could start travelling back and rescuing people before they get killed and pull them into the future, saving them and retroactively depriving Sylar of powers.

Having watched S1 recently, there was a scene in the episode with Future Peter ("Five Years Gone" iirc) where he rescues Ando and Hiro. When he first shows up, he uses his telekinesis while he's invisible on one of the guards. I don't know if that was just lazy writing or hinting that he can use more than one at a time.

Anyway, I only made it about halfway through the episode and I don't really have a desire to watch the second half. That scene where Peter and Future Peter were talking was double-awful. I might be done with this show.

No, the Haitian had half of the formula and was delivering it or picking it up from someone (I don't think we know who). Daphne (the speedster) was working for someone else and went to Berlin to intercept the delivery.

Looks like many Americans agree about the direction of this show.


http://pifeedback.com/eve/forums/a/t...51/m/434105561

Heroes (NBC) – Monday 9 p.m.
10/08/07 – Viewers: 10.91 million (#3), A18-49: 5.1/12 (#1)
10/06/08 – Viewers: 8.21 million (#3), A18-49: 3.9/ 9 (#3)
Percent Change – Viewers: -25, A18-49: -24

You can just feel watching this season that the writers, directors and actors are really lost as to the direction of this show. Everything they have thrown at us this season does not make sense in a natural progression of storyline if you go back to Season 1.

Right now, there are really no true Heroes that we can get behind. Even Sylar/Gabriel is not a fun character to root for. And I'm afraid that the creative/writing talent may not be strong enough to right this ship as Lost has been mostly able to do after its first season.

It has become a chore to watch this every week and that is pretty sad.

They haven't revealed who Daphne's working for. The Haitian was just moving the other half of the formula.

...although I agree with pretty much everyone here that this show's so dumb that it's not worth trying to make sense of it.

I think the answer is simpler than that. He can pause time, but still affect the world around him. All he had to do was freeze time, dig the hole, build/buy/steal a coffin, bring it around, open it up, put Adam in, close the coffin, drop the coffin in the hole, fill the hole, and then unfreeze time.

Simple. He doesn't have to teleport 2 bodies into an already closed and buried coffin and just teleport himself out.

Watched the last two episodes back-to-back. Ep 2 was light years better than this one. Actually gave me hope for the direction just to have it dashed by a bunch of "possible future" nonsense.

It really is too bad they deal with time travel and predictions so much. Would be a much better show if it was grounded on a fixed timeline.

Not giving up yet, but not excited for the next installments.

When do Lost and BSG start again?

I thought it was decent

But still...so many people continue to bad-mouth the show yet tune in week after week after week and post. Why? If it sucks so much just drop the show from your DVR. It's entertaining...I don't want to disect it each week. Just let me mind go.

Maya, while utterly pointless, is pretty damn hot! The chance of seeing more impressive cleavage will keep me tuned in for a little while longer.

When did Sylar get the ability to do the spirit painting? He must have killed the black guy? Since Grunberg is still alive.

I believe Lost should be back in February (13 straight episodes) ending during May sweeps.

She is very damn hot! But, her character has become more Americanized this season compared with last season. Even most of her 'Spanish' accent is gone.

Yeah, was Maya holding out on her cleavage last season, or did she get a boost over the summer?

Nah, when Molly said Peter was in Costa Verde, Claire said "Sylar" and we know he prefers "Gabriel" now.

I just took it as a homage to Noah Bennett whom he had obviously became good friends with - enough to take the house and Mr. Muggles. Even the glasses.

It may be Claire's kid (maybe not even Sylar's), but I doubt they're married. Did he have a ring on?

I actually enjoy the show, but I have fun nitpicking a bit as well.

Yeah, I think it was Isaac's future-painting power, which Sylar gained in season 1 and then lost along with [almost] all of his other abilities in season 2 when he got the virus. Apparently sometime in the future he must get some other virus or something which gives him that power (and the exploding man power) back.
