Also not saying you're wrong, but I don't think that's what happened, so I wouldn't say "couldn't figure out" since it's not fact.

As somebody else mentioned, I think it was his mother's power being applied to him rather than him using one of his acquired powers.

TV Guide says

I really liked Monday's episode. I agree as some have mentioned that it actually moved the story forward and thank God Hiro is back in present time. I wonder what are the repercussions of his acts from ancient Japan?

The preview for next week looks really intriguing explaining what happened to Peter after the bomb went off.

He is able to fund their operation - I'd say it's a pretty damn awesome power.

Please spoiler tag things that weren't in the episode.

I really liked this episode. I was starting to have a feeling that Kensei and Adam might be the same person last week, but they threw me off when Bob was talking about how Adam changed weather patterns. I assume now he was talking about Adam manipulating someone who can control weather.

I also thought the Peter/Ma Patrelli scene was showing off her powers of persuasion. Kind of like mini-Bilson from last season.

I'd say he, up until this episode, had a fairly large power, the power to cure Heroes with the Shanti virus.

Never underestimate the power of a unibrow.

I don't think Ma Patrelli's mind can be read? I though Parkman tried and the only thing he could get was what she wanted him to get?

Hey, I wouldn't mind having that power!

Imagine if Bob would have known about his power earlier. He wouldn't have had to deal with Swearengen and those Yankton cocksuckers.

I see...the payoff coming soon...and it looks good :D

micahs grandma? and some how she'll have caused the flooding in new orleans

I can hear it now...

not to mention the ability to wipe out 98% of the world's population with a drop of his blood. :eek:

I'd say he has them all beat. :lol:

I thought it was 93%.

I also wanted to mention that I like the fact they are dealing with a global crisis, so it's not really about New York being in trouble again - that's just where a lot of the characters happen to be.

This was a great episode of a great season, and I cannot wait to see where this goes. I'm hoping the writer's strike doesn't fuck the whole thing up too badly, since I think they are on a major roll right now.

Yes, that is true, but she was blocking him. She did however want Peter to get his memories back. So either A) she used her power to get Peter to remember her or B) she boosted Peter's power so that he could read her mind or C) I have no F-ing clue.

I may have to go with C...

Do we know yet if Adam(Kensei) have any other powers besides regeneration ?
He is probably immortal due to his regentative abilities. Either that or he ages very very slowly.

Do we know for sure if he can time travel like Hiro and Peter ?

Wouldn't Peter be able to defeat Adam ?
Since Peter met Parkman he has his abilities as well. He could trap him in his own nightmare.

Thats the problem with Peter, at his peak knowing his powers he can beat anyone or pretty much do anything. Basically Peter and Sylar will always have to be crippled by the writers somehow...

I think Peter's problem would be that he'll never be able to use any of the powers at there fullest because he only has them for a limited time. So he'd probably never have the time to figure out what Parkman's powers can really do. Adam on the other hand has had 300 years to play with his powers so I'm sure he can do more then just regenerate like Claire.

Peter first thought the powers he aquired we only temporary but Claude (Invisible man) taught him how to recall any one of his powers. So, Peter's powers are not limited.

They're limited by the fact that he's not always using them and thusly will probably never use them more then in there most basic form.

But we learned in "Five Years Gone" that Peter's abilities do stick around. At least for 5 years.

I think they stick around indefinately but unless he sitting there trying to figure out new things to do with each power he has he's not going to know how to use it as well as somebody with just one power. I think we're going to see with Adam that he can do more then just regenerate and we've seen that Parkman can do more then just read minds.

'Heroes' Creator Apologizes to Fans
Tim Kring admits mistakes were made at the beginning of season 2, but promises to get back on track

I haven't hated this year, but other than possibly the second item mentioned (just because the end of the world scenario seems like a bit of a repeat), I pretty much agree with what he says the problems are

Sounds like Tim Kring's been reading these forums.

The thing with Sylar is that physically, he's still as vulnerable as any random person off the street. All his powers (when he had them) could help keep him from being injured, but as we saw with Hiro, he's still capable of being seriously wounded or even killed.

And as we saw with Peter, even if someone can regenerate they're not 100% invincible. They can still be "killed" through a severe enough brain injury.
