Brother Justin will always be the ultimate baddie in my book!

Healing isn't the same as removing disease. There's nothing wrong with her, it's the virus that's stopping her powers.

The virus will kill her eventually. It's what Suresh's sister died from. I would definitely consider that something wrong with her. Also, he healed his mother from cancer in the comic strips so why couldn't he heal her disease?

Perhaps the reason the virus hadn't yet killed her was due to intervention by Linderman. He may have been regenerating her body, but the virus was still impeding her powers.

Nice setup episode for what should be a good season finale, but I had two major gripes with this episode.

1) Add to the long list of things ripped off from LOST a paralyzed character miraculously regaining movement in their legs

2) Bennet, Suresh, and little girl just stood there for ten minutes? By this, I mean the cutting away from that scene about 3/4 way through the episode then coming back to the scene for a throwaway shot right at the end that reveals they haven't moved a hair.

1) Actually, since it's been established that Heroes uses comic books as its template, you have to look no further than Professor Charles Xavier for inspiration. He's been in and out of that chair more times than I can count (i'll leave it up to some x-fanboy to give the official stat). Lost had nothing to do with it.

And i'm sure it's been done before Prof. X too..

2) I get what you're talking about, but this isn't the 24-niverse.

My bad. You're right. They're exclusively ripping off Lost now.

I've read that next season, Heroes will take place on an island, we'll find out that Hiro's last name is really Hanso and it'll be revealed that Primatech is actually a subdivision of Dharma.

And don't even let me get started on Sylar and his band of "others"...

I wasn't trying to subvert your comments in any way -- you're probably right that it was from X-Men. I was just pointing out that, LOST or X-Men, Heroes is terribly derivative. It's a fine enough show and very entertaining, but that doesn't make it any less derivative. And if it isn't exclusively about being on an island, then the mythological drive of the narrative, the interconnecting ensemble storylines, the kids with special powers, and the ideas characters have about destiny and fate seem very much borrowed from another of my favourite shows.

I guess it just grates on me that despite all these borrowed elements people still go on about Heroes being "better" than LOST. Change the setting and the tone a little and it's almost the same show.

Erm... all of those issues you mentioned are very very very common in literature, movie and TV, and they certainly didn't start with "Lost".

I enjoy this show, but it ain't Lost.

'nuff said.

^^^^^

thank God!

wow... i hope you mean for the positive.....

Some random speculation:

Can we wrap up the Lost/Heroes thing please... If you like Lost better good for you. That doesn't have ANYTHING to do with this episode of Heroes.

on another note, how exactly does sylar cut open the head, I dont think it is the telekenesis power, seems like he has the power to cut or saw.

He's got the finger laser!

Maybe he honed his telekinetic power to be able to do that? That's the only thing I can think of as it stands now since we haven't seen where he would be able to do that.

Light Saber Finger maybe

10 minutes is nothing. On Lost, Locke, Jack, and whoever else was with them spent months looking down the hatch without moving.

:lol:

It kills me when people think that episodes are shown in real time. You change scenes, and the other characters just stand there? Come on.

And any show + setting change + tone change has elements of Lost.

See, I thought it meant that she stole it. Kind of like "why would I have to pay for it". She can walk out of the store with it and no one would be any wiser.

Or she just bought it - she is working for Linderman after all, and he seems to have more money than God.

i actually thought maybe since linderman collects art maybe he had a bunch of classic comics and she just grabbed a handful of them.

Everyone seems to have a power that propels the storyline... except Nathan.

Any bets that he swoops in on the fight between Sylar and Peter, just as Sylar is about to go BOOM, taking him up into the atmosphere, and sacrifices himself in the process to save his brother, and the city?
