I can't beleve their isn't already a thread for the fox show Heroes. I came to post an observation and I couldn't find an existing thread. I love this series. I've been attatched to it since the first episode of the first season. Okay so here is my observation:
Spoiler Alert!!!!
(please highlight words so you can see them)
Based off of the 3rd season 3rd episode: Did any one notice what Gabriel named his son? It was Noah. I found this very interesting because Syler worked with Claire's stepfather for a while. Syler must have respected her stepfather a lot to name his kid after him.
I pointed this out to my family and they were amazed that I caught it. I speculate that in the future Claire's stepfather died and Syler/Gabriel named his kid in honor of him.
That all being said, was anyone elts confused as to why Peter wanted Syler's powers. Peter all ready has his own power that is better than Syler's. Peter can do what Syler can do but Peter doesn't have to kill in order to do it. So Why did Peter want Syler's powers? I think when Mohender tolled Peter he needed Syler's help Peter took it the wrong way but I don't understand how Peter could take it that wrong.
End of message

With regards to Sylar's power: One fan theory which was never REALLY confirmed but often supported by the show is that Sylar is a genius who can figure out how things work. "Things" like mechanical machines, the human brain (how he gets powers, he figures out how their power works and then modifies himself), and possibly the space-time continuum. It would seem that Peter believes if he has Sylar's power to figure out how stuff works he can figure out which events happening at which times cause which events in the future.
He wants to know which butterflies to step on, and which to spare. |

Heroes tries to avoid Superhero comic book cliches for the most part, but they couldn't resist the ol' "mad scientist who experiments on himself and turns into a horrible monster" storyline. |

I'll be honest i don't concentrate on hit plot that much but to me it really felt a little bit out of character that he suddenly shot himself up with powers. Previous seasons had him pegged as kinda righteous.
Does anyone else think the shows relying to heavily on time travel. its been the big disaster in the future kind of situation in each season.

Yes, the story line is focused on time travel, but I think that makes it interesting. Hiro time traveling is done a little differently, which I think is kid of cool! He can slow time down...etc.its awesome..!..and I wish I could blink and time travel...lmao!.. This season looks really interesting and I am excited to see where this goes..!

Thanks for that observation. I know Syler could figure things out but I didn't think Peter would use the "Power of Observation" in that way. Very interesting.
On another note, yah, I do thing they are relying on the "eminent doom of the future" to much. They have lots of comic books to draw from. They could take stories from any of them. Right now all Peter has to do is step on the right butterfly and everything could turn out good. Not a very dramatic saving of the world if you ask me.

If I draw an analogy from the first entry in Superhero films, we're still in the first 45 minutes of the film. If you look at it, the entire reason for these eminent doom in the future storylines is the characters who can time travel haven't exactly figured out how to put it to good use. When Kyle Raynor first got a Power Ring there were a few storylines about problems which arose when you suddenly give God-like power to a mortal overnight. I could go on to talk about when Hal Jordon almost remade the universe in his own image but the point here is that I think these first couple of seasons have been about what happens when you give humans abilities, can it be a good thing even for the most well-meaning of people?
This season it seems like the idea is to try and define heroes/villians. As far as borrowing from comic books I think it probably won't be too long until they introduce deus ex machina like super powerful beings/races from beyond the stars. |

I am liking this season, yet I am still confused on who is good and who is "evil" in the future and present.
Peter and Nathan's dad and mom are really confusing me. I am not sure what they are up too...
I am excited for the new episode tomorrow.
