Chapter 38- “I Am Become Death” – Discussion Thread 10/6/08

Okay I give up, I don't think you're understanding.

What is not to understand? Flint Marko is now the killer of Uncle Ben in Raimi's Spider-Man. Things have to be added on to add depth. Adrenaline is the trigger of the powers for use and the eclipse is what caused the powers to come forward. What is not to understand?

 

[Primal Slayer]

I'm pretty sure he needs to know that he has the ability in order to use it. Remember in season one, he was in the same room with Eden and he still hasn't used her power of persuasion.

How can you use something you don't know you have? Well until now...

Well ya except Peter was trying to force Sylar to give him his power. But I guess Peter didnt know what Sylars original ability was.

 

[chaseter]

See what happens with bad writers, they've crapped over their own rules and just did whatever was 'cool'.

And that is the bad thing about retconning

 

[SuperT]

Right. He had no clue what Sylar originally did because it was never revealed to anyone, or us for that matter back in season one and two.

As for the artificial abilities vs. natural abilities - that hint was given to us all the way back in season one when Linderman revealed that he had been watching Niki her entire life and he was behind D.L. and Niki getting together, getting married, and having Micah.

What better experiment would a company want?! lol

Um....... that means instead of a long breeding program where Linderman somehow came up with Micah and his ability.... he could have just made the ability in a serum and given it to someone.

Plot-hole.

How do you know it actually wasn't just a breeding program to see what happens when you place to supers together and have kids?

I think you're just looking for plot-holes because the story isn't going the way YOU want it.

Of course it's just me and not the show... cause when there's a formula to give powers and super smart super powered people, they couldn't easily make a serum to give the powers they want.

Clearly they needed Micah's power. It was a breeding program to make Micah.

Does understanding mean making up facts and jumping over gaps in logic to come to a favorable conclussion? Or is that your definition of being happy where the show is going? You're being incredibly apologetic.

I'd really hate to think that Claire and Sylar had a baby...

I'd like to think it has more to do with being Noah's son that Sylar is raising in Noah's home.

 

[Tyrinus]

Where was this implication that little Noah was Clarie's...I saw nothing that implied that.

 

[The Chris]

I don't think there's any way that Claire and Syler have a baby. Number one they're related (which doesn stop some writers), and number two after what he did to her, why would she even be near him long enough for something like that. I'd rather it be Evelisse's second option.

There's NO WAY Claire is the mother of Sylar's kid. The writers can get weird, but not THAT squicky. No, the mom was no one in that household confrontation since there was no recognition to that effect from anyone. And since we've seen Tracy ended up with Nathan, that rules her out, too. Which leaves two candidates around Sylar's age that I can think of: Maya and Elle.

My money's on Elle. I seriously doubt Maya would go near him again since he killed her brother and manipulated/deceived her for an entire season. Elle on the other hand, while Sylar did kill her father, is totally screwed up enough and desperate to be loved/accepted to overlook that little detail. Plus, I do think she harbors A LOT of resentment toward her father (for very good reasons) that hasn't come to the surface yet, so she may even come to feel that Sylar did her a favor. She already looks up to Noah, too (he may even be her new father figure), so I could totally see her wanting to name their kid after him, as well.

This episode was awesome. Not as awesome as last week, but still.

That entire sequence with Peter, Future Sylar, Future Claire, Future Daphne, and Future Evil Black Dude, was awesome. My jaw drop when they killed the kid. And then when Sylar exploded in anger (literally).....man. THAT is great television.

I still hate Matt in Africa. Really boring. Though, I'm interested in finding out how and if he really does end up with Daphne.

Mohinder Gone Wild? Snooze.

Fake Nikki? Snooze.

Nathan seeing things? Snooze.

No HRG? Boo!

Peter confronting Sylar at the end? Nice.

The Haitian getting the job done? Nicer.

Future Mr. Muggles? Nicest.

Good stuff tonight.

 

[The Apocalypse]

I really liked tonight's ep. The scene at Sylar's house was sooo intense. I can't believe the kid was killed. I really hope the future ends up ****ty because each time they go into the future for an episode it's great.

[Wolfwood]

Can someone give me a summary of the first 30 minutes? I tuned in right when Sylar and Peter had their throw down with Claire's evil minions.

 

[Exploding Boy]

Spoiler

what about the dude in the preview talking to Angela...Arthur Petrelli?

 

[marukisu]

...

 

[chaseter]

I imagine it is Arthur P.

 

[Exploding Boy]

Yeah I dunno who else it could be.

 

[The Lizard]

I was annoyed that we didn't get to see future Mohinder after he went all Brundle-Fly.
