Heroes - Page 7

Is it just me or does that younger brother guy look a lot like a really young unbuff sly stalone?

Yeah... the only reason the high guy probably needs the dope is because he was already an addict. Once he breaks his addiction he'll be fine.

But I just realized once they all come together, Peter will make superman look pathetic. At a "Heroes" reunion, he'd be able to heal instantly any injury, he'd be able to fly, he'd be able to see the future, he'd be able to read minds, he'd be able to bend time and space, and he'd be able to have a freakishly strong mirror image. He's clearly being shown to be the future leader, as he has the most potential power of them all.

Peter doesn't have power absorption like Rouge. Only power mimicry. You don't see him sucking the energy, memories, and personality out of those around him, right? No, he can only mimic thier abilities.

Alos, the onbly reason you can map the hero's powers to X-Men so easily is because X-Men has pretty much aleady done all the super-powers and superpower combinations.

We don't know if he can mimic more than one power at once, though. We've only seenm him in contact with Nathan and Issac, and he didn't try his ability after the brief encounter with Future-Hiro. And all of those encounters have been seperate.

Heh. Was anyone else amused by Nathan's flying? I hadn't seen the episode where the two brothers flew, so, I hadn't seen what "flying" meant, exactly. That's pretty fucking fast, my friends. And cool. And really, really improbable.

First of all, there was a sonic boom when he took off (when cheerleader's dad was chasing him), and he accelerated to that speed in about 1/4 of a second (and that's being generous). Which, if we put the speed of sound at 300m/s (less than its speed at sea level), then that means that he was accelerating at a rate of 1200m/s/s (I don't know how to do superscript on message boards). Which is equivalent to about 122 Gs. I'm pretty sure that would kill you, considering that the force on him would have to be about 96,000N if we put his weight at 80kg. That's equivalent to about 21,500 pounds of force. Ouch.

And, of course, this would require insane amounts of energy, and there's no obvious source of propulsion, etc.

Nonetheless, the effect is awesome, and the show just keeps getting cooler. I hope they don't fuck it up like Surface, though. What I mean by that is, eventually, they have to stop hinting at major conflict, and actually have some fighting. Nothing huge happened in Surface till the last episode, and that's why it got cancelled (damn it!). Heroes is already much better about this than Surface, but eventually we will want to see Hiro wielding a katana, perhaps kicking ass, and even taking names.

The improbablity thing is like we've already covered: Suspension of disbelief.

Magus · 10-26-2006, 10:55 PM

This show is pretty cool, too many seperate plotlines though. They need to form the Y-Men as quickly as possible. Also the multiple-personality chick's power is actually super-strength, the mutliple-personality thing is just her way to block her knowledge of it. In classic cliched style it will be revealed that the guy who paints the future doesn't actually need drugs to do it, as well.

Also I would say the cheerleader chick doesn't feel pain. Who would test the way she did on purpose if it hurt? She sat up with her FREAKING CHEST OPEN and didn't feel anything either. She just looked worried and out of sorts and slapped it together so it'd heal. Crazy crap there.

They are bringing together all of the characters niow, though. The only character that hasn't really come in contact with the others (Aside from Clair) is Matt, the LA Cop. And I have the feeling that he's going to follow Sylar to Texas where at least Peter, Issac, Hiro and Ando are going to meet to save Claire.

This thing just gets better and better it seems. I'm liking D.L alot more then I expected, and I still get unusually giddy when Hiro show up to do his thing, but thats to be expected.

He's Fanservice, Not that thats a bad thing.

Long-Haired Narcissist · 10-31-2006, 01:54 AM

I thought this episode raised more questions than it answered. I'm starting to wonder what role DL and Claire's father will play.

It doesn't really bother me -- it's just kind of funny to calculate out just how absurd Nathan's power really is. Also, I have too much time on my hands.

But, to more pressing questions. Mainly, what exactly is D.L.'s power? I missed the first one (two?) episode(s), so maybe I missed something, but is he like that girl from the X-Men (Kitty Whatsherface), in that he can both phase through objects, and objects can also phase through him? For example, could he simply let bullets pass through him?
