Chapter 11: "Powerless" discussion thread 12/03

[Primal Slayer]

I don't know why people were so gung ho in saying that destroying the virus would allow him to rescue her, cause destroying the virus changed the timeline, which means that future is no longer around, which means she disappeared with it.

Sure, if Peter knows that he cant save Caitlin and she is dead, im fine with that but if he were able to save her, its something you dont just forget about.

But I didnt think about the future being altered until now, so ya.

 

[The Dude]

Technically Maya died. And Nikki.

They said 2 would die, but 1 wouldn't stick. Nikki=Dead
Maya= Died + Resurected

So Nathan is a wild card

As an X-fan, you know time travel is crazy and anything can happen lol

What makes everyone so sure that Niki is 100% dead besides unabashed fanboy hatred? No body = no confirmation.

 

[DarkSuperman]

Yay! Ont he create a hero thing super speed is one of the powers you can choose!

 

[Primal Slayer]

Wasnt Sylar suppose to have a not so happy ending? I couldve sworn I read Kristin Bell saying that Elle was going to take Sylar down. Thus originally leaving Zach free to film Star Trek

 

[Mysterio]

The liquid is just buffer solution, the actual virus can be burned up

not to mention the container. damn.

 

[gadgetfusion]

This was definitely the best episode this season!

It sucks that Nikki died, but I know that I'm not the only one who jumped when the building exploded.

I liked everything about Peter/Hiro/Matt/Nathan/Adam this episode. Hiro's awesome for burying Adam alive! I'm a little curious why Peter didn't just walk through the safe instead of using so much strength to open it with telekinesis.

Maya should've stayed dead. But I like the heroic turn Elle is making.

Claire and West are finally over, I hope HRG isn't the one who shot Nathan.

I wonder who Angela is talking to on the phone.

Sylar's got his powers back. I wonder if Adam and him are going to team up. I mean, Volume Three is called "Villains".

 

[The Sage]

Get out of my head!

That's implying that you have a brain to begin with!!!

 

[Specter313]

Oh god, I so hope that they don't take any time travel cues from the X-books.

 

[LeChuck]

haha true...but didn't they say 2 heroes would die? Doesn't that shoot that theory down?

NO, because that ad was made weeks after the episode was done, the writers don't make the ads the STUDIOS do, the same studios that won't pay writers 8 cents instead of 4.

 

[SoulManX]

You what would have been cool if the new gen called their own group...

The Outfit

Nathan as the leader
Matt
Peter
Molly
Claude
HRG
Claire
Hiro and Ando
and West

Taking on Adam and the Company

 

[Mysterio]

Ignoring facts already setup by the show to fuel a little back and forth on a message board.

bingo

l
not really, the timeline would exist but there will be no virus breakout in the future, so she could still be there.

 

[Abaddon]

I think she is because it would be utterly pointless otherwise. And I liked her.

 

[Kuze421]

i disagree ....i mean they did put the original pilot on the first dvd....that was a glimpse of the "real way" things were supposed to go

Yes the pilot was on the dvd, but that nuclear character was the prototype for Ted 'nuclear man' Sprague. They cut the idea of the Nuclear character being muslim, maybe because they thought we couldn't handle it. It being to touchy a subject and all.

 

[Specter313]

Well, she did blast the hell out of him. But I think the break took care of freeing him up for Star Trek more than anything.

 

[Havok83]

Wait, so who do you think killed Nathan?

I think it was to shut him up

 

[Abaddon]

NO, because that ad was made weeks after the episode was done, the writers don't make the ads the STUDIOS do, the same studios that won't pay writers 8 cents instead of 4.

stop using those ******ed smileys.syndrome

 

[The Chairman]

Nathan should've fried Elle like she did to Caitlin's brother.

 

[The Chairman]

I think it was to shut him up

Never heard of that character.

 

[War Party]

So no one else liked the Popeye nod?

 

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

I think she is because it would be utterly pointless otherwise. And I liked her.

Me too. Poor Micah though.

 

[LeChuck]

stop using those ******ed smileys.syndrome

I'm gonna keep using them until everyone goes blind from nausea and a mod gets wise and deletes the damn things.

wow, that wouldve been in poor taste.
