Yes cause people ALWAYS take their time and hesitate to burn a damning piece of information. Hiro also seems to carry film reels around with him

Once again, Carnival Folks and their stories are proving to be more interesting than the main characters.

Re: Heroes -- "Brother's Keeper" -- 11/16/09

maybe this has been discussed before but couldn't this Sylar nonsense been squashed along time ago by the haitian?

in the beginning they kept Sylar alive, then he starts murdering alot more people

then they want him dead, but can't figure out that all that needed to be done was to let HRG take the haitian along with him (like old times) block Sylar and kill him

done.

but now he's in and out of bodies and whatnot

they should have ended the show @ S3

i watch still but a season based around t-bag has been uninteresting to me

but hey, it's still better than Dollhouse..LMAO good riddance

Re: Heroes -- "Brother's Keeper" -- 11/16/09

This episode had one moment I didn't really care for. Claire tells ice girl that she should go to the carnival after invisible girl tries to kill her. I would expect Claire to say something like stay away from the carnival and go hang out with your nephew. He needs a mom and you look like her. Or maybe stay her and make out with me on the couch. We can play footsy with my foot.

Claire in the tight orange shorts and low-cut Tee.

But I've never seen a scene with two hot blondes and a bath tub go so wrong.

I liked this episode since it had where the heroes had more interaction with each other like Hiro and Suresh and Claire and Jessica.


In the minority but I hope they extend to more episodes.

He was probably taking his time because he was thinking "Should I burn this in my hotel room? I saw Inglorious Basterds, maybe this is a bad idea."

Why in hell did they hot just kill Matt in the last show? This could have ended the whole Sylar crap.

Finally one I enjoyed. Sure they didn't kill Parkman but we finally got to see what Samuel is up to. I enjoyed how they show the "young rebellious Samuel" from all of 2 months ago.

Re: Heroes -- "Brother's Keeper" -- 11/16/09

couple things.

so basically, Samuel is basically trying to *collect* people with abilities in order to amplify his power

and he killed his bro?

thought it was interesting that they made his history only go back a couple months, so it doesn't look like he was there from Heroes beginning and just now came out the woodwork

and also, last time i remember seeing Suresh he was turning into a fly...what happened?

I thought that damage to Claire's brain cancelled her power (stick through the skull on the autopsy table). Wouldn't having her brain frozen rock-solid had the same effect?

It wasn't damaged, it was preserved.

It happened really quickly at the end of the "Villains" arc. I thought he still had superstrength...just not the cockroachy lesions or whatever.

I thought it was ok. They did make Peter's story over the past couple of episodes pointless with him giving up the healing power.

I wish Parkman would have just died

Re: Heroes -- "Brother's Keeper" -- 11/16/09

If Peter has the ability to choose any particular ability from Sylar, why not just absorb his primary one to acquire other powers?

Never understood why he just opted for the Shapeshifting crap during the last season.

Sylar would have been a more effective villian if they had used him for only one year. He has outstayed his welcome.

I like Sylar as the overall villain. He's the Magneto the there X-Men. Problem is that he's never taken a back seat. He should be in the back round more instead of always being the center of attention.

Well, at least Claire bear looked really hot...

I can't wait for this show to be over, I'm only watching because I already spent too many hours, but sometimes, like last night, I hate myself for spending 40 minutes on it.

But doesn't that power come with the hunger? I know it did at one point, but that seems to be ignored lately.

Problem with Sylar is that he is NOT like Magneto. Magneto is more like Samuel. Sylar kills all the mutants he meets.
