how so?

 

[The Chairman]

Okay, WTF at the dumb ass cop who just randomly listens to Sylar without asking for ID badges or anything...seriously, WTF

Are you forgetting Season One? Sylar was using Eden's power.

 

[SuperT]

Are you forgetting Season One? Sylar was using Eden's power.

Sylar does't have Eden's powers. Eden blew her brains out before Sylar could take them.

 

[Gilpesh]

Are you forgetting Season One? Sylar was using Eden's power.

Are you forgetting Season One? She shot herself in the head and ruined her brain so Sylar didn't get her powers.

 

[The Chairman]

Oh yeah...

I fail.

 

[Sentinel X]

1. He wasn't persuading the officer, he was BEGUILING him...big difference.

2. Sylar used Eden's voice in Season 1 but he doesn't have the power of persuasion. (this was said by the writers. It was added in for cool effect, literally )

edit: wow, they already got to you, eh? Its okay...all you need is a psychiatrist now

 

[gambitfire]

Really? I hate Sylar so I must looooooove Peter and Hiro.

Didn't say you did...

Hiro isn't progressing as a character.... and Peter isn't either and he's got just enough powers to trip over his own feet and ruin everything but not enough to fix it.

You're right but It's only episode two, so then I MUST be referring to Season 3 now huh?

Seriously, it was an alright episode looking better than the first two and then suddenly the end comes along and just ruins it.

I don't let one character story arc ruin the whole show for me. I have many grips with the show but much of it entertains and amuses me.

I don't throw a plate of great food away cuz it's got peas! That's just silly.

Not saying you do, I'm just saying that's me.

Although If I did think that way I would of hated last weeks episodes.

 

[Cmill216]

HRG and Sylar made it through the barricade flashing their badges, IIRC, so there'd be no need for the cop to genuinely question their presence.

 

[The Chairman]

Those writers.

As a side note, the major lack of Mohinder and Maya was a big plus tonight.

 

[Cmill216]

As a side note, the major lack of Mohinder and Maya was a ginormously huge plus tonight.

Edited for accuracy.

 

[The Chairman]

Also, am I the only one burst out laughing by the "Had I known you were coming, I would've made more" line in the preview? I really am looking forward to Sylar this season. Part of me hopes he stays good. It at least gives him some development.

 

[Gilpesh]

I was enjoying the level 5 villains storyline... well you saw what happened.

 

[Hush]

SO what if Zimmerman has Sylar's powers and he is the father of Sylar. I think he may have the ability to look at DNA and figure out how it works sort of like Sylar looks at brains. So he was then hired by The Company and was commisioned to create Niki, I think thats how it may work out but what do I know. I mean yeah its missing bits BIG bits but it is still feasible.


Also was I the only one that was dissapointed to see Bad Sylar instead of good?

 

[Sentinel X]

^Yes, no Mohinder and Maya was a great thing.
To be honest, I just wish there was no Tracy. The writers are just getting themselves into the complicated mess....clones, really...that doesn't sound to good.
Also its nice to see a charecter just die and not have any vestiges of her...that includes identical twin sisters

I think from these 3 episodes its evident that they're taking a step in the right direction however it isn't coming together as nicely as it should've been.

I was.

It's quite ironic that Noah distrusts Sylar now that he's trying to reform, when just about everyone was still sketchy about him when he went against The Company.

I laughed... I laughed alot.

Like I've been saying NOW I'm interested in seeing where They're going with Sylar.

I was enjoying the level 5 villains storyline... well you saw what happened.

There are more Level 5 villains.

 

[Gilpesh]

There are more Level 5 villains.

Jessie... had potential... killed.

The German... had potential... killed.

Flint... had potential... Locked up.

Knox... had potential to have a huge throwdown with Sylar.... owned and ran away.

 

[gambitfire]

I actually miss Mohinder and Maya, It's only the beginning no need for quick judgement.

I'm upset Nikki is dead but I think it's about time someone dies and stays dead, too bad it couldn't be Peter.

 

[The Geek Vault]

Jessie... had potential... killed.

The German... had potential... killed.

Flint... had potential... Locked up.

Knox... had potential to have a huge throwdown with Sylar.... owned and ran away.

I was VERY suprised the german was killed!

 

[Hush]

Where be the other cache of villians you speak of?

 

[Sentinel X]

^Yeah, I don't know why the level 5s were so easy to beat. These are suppose to be the most dangerous AND powerful group, locked away from society.
The line "Its like 12 sylars running loose!" is practically null because those were surely not 12 sylars running loose, it was more like 12 upset claires running loose....its just disappointing that they were THAT EASY to defeat.


Also, Sylar cutting up Jesse made no sense....he made no endeavor to defend himself. If Elle could've knocked Sylar out I would imagine someone with powers like Jesse's couldve too.

 

[The Chairman]

Wait, the Waterboarding scene confused me. Claire only feels pain when reminded of Sylar's attack? I hope they delve deeper into that.

 

[Cmill216]

Jesse tried to do his Black Canary ish, but Sylar clearly Darth Vader'd him.

 

[Ion Kenshin]

Jesse tried to do his Black Canary ish, but Sylar clearly Darth Vader'd him.

sadly people wont see that an effort is made they will only just say OMG Sylar owned all ....weak....

 

[gambitfire]

Jessie... had potential... killed.

The German... had potential... killed.

Flint... had potential... Locked up.

Knox... had potential to have a huge throwdown with Sylar.... owned and ran away.

But Knox can't go near Sylar.....

If anything I say The German had a better shot.

The rest served their purpose IMO. Moving on.
