Chapter 39 - “Angels and Monsters” – Discussion Thread 10/13/08

[RockSP]

the whole Linderman being seen only by people with powers is ridiculous.

Uh...Parkman Sr. is the one causing people to see Linderman.

 

[The Apocalypse]

I would think it is Matt's father doing this to people.

Called it!

 

[samurai black]

that was a very good plot twist. i didn't like the whole "ghost Linderman" thing anyhow.

 

[DarkSuperman]

Uh...Parkman Sr. is the one causing people to see Linderman.

I thought that was made pretty clear and very surprising. I enjoyed this episode thoroughly.

 

[chaseter]

I can't wait to see how Matt reacts to his father!

 

[DarkSuperman]

Why does Arthur need Adam? To heal him?

 

[chaseter]

Why does Arthur need Adam? To heal him?

That is what I thought

 

[Steyin]

A lot of things are making sense now. I'd guess Arthur was the one who attacked Angela back in her cell in S2.

I'd even go out on a limb and say that perhaps he was controlling Adam to kill of the people who would get in his way. As for Maury, I have a feeling he may have been acting like he was being targeted when he was really in cahoots with Arthur the whole time to get rid of Matt (didn't plan on Nathan being with him), and since that didn't pan out hes now going to try to recruit them. This is probably not the case, but I could see it happen.

Now all I wonder is how powerful Arthur really is.

Good ep.

I get that the Ando thing is most likely a setup or basically something to move the story along, but, still Hiro can control time and space (waves hand) he needs to be controlling situations the way he did with Adam in the coffin, its just hard to believe that seemingly killing Ando was the best thing he could do at that time, to prove his badassary.

 

[Ion Kenshin]

call the reveal of arthur anti climatic and predictable all you want. the point of the reveal in my opinion was not only to show the arthur was alive but that he was the one behind many of things that were going on. look at things from a different perspective. cause i for one did not think arthur was dead an knew we were gonna see him at some point but i was not expecting him to be the one gathering up all these people ...and for what reason?

 

[Havok83]

Well it wasn't predictable by everyone. I had friends over watching and even though I knew it was Arthur (It was still shocking to finally see him) the entire room gasped and squealed!

Really? It didnt help that a promo that later aired on NBC during the week, actually revealed that it was Mr. Petrelli

Daphne was there. Him stopping time still wouldn't have made a difference.

That's why I think he did stop time, but Daphne was in on it this time.

 

[Ion Kenshin]

also Hiro did what they asked and as much as i like him he is not always the best at thinking on his feet...plus Ando probably isnt dead because for one we know he attacks hiro in the future....this could be on of the reasons why...2 like people here have said he may have frozen time and did something to make it look like he killed ando

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I'm not sure how I feel about where this series is going. I'm really not sure.

 

[Mikelus]

The problem with Maury is that a guy with such power should dominate others. Come on, he can trick almost everybody and get them crazy or killed, such character is way too powerful for the lame role he has.

The fact is a lot of people are getting tired of the ridiculous storylines, ratings are down and there's a lot of negative comments in blogs and forums, so if ratings keep going down, Heroes will be cancelled.

 

[Ion Kenshin]

if it gets cancelled than so be it but im gonna enjoy it until that happens

 

[SuperT]

Some of you people are ******ed. Heroes is not getting cancelled anytime soon, it's still one of NBC's top rated shows.

Storylines you seem to not understand The story lines haven't even unfolded yet. If you hate all of these twists and turns with the plot leading to more reveals and more twists then why the **** did you watch Season 1

Oh noes negative comments in forums and blogs. And ratings are down across the boards. Oprah had her worst season this year but is she getting cancelled?

 

[Mikelus]

What part of if ratings keep going down you don't understand? Expensive shows with huge drops in ratings will not last years, obvious.

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

What the **** does that have to do with you not liking the show and us liking the show Is it fun to hop on the bandwagon? You don't understand half the stuff as we have seen in here So if you want to go watch a linear show that you can understand...they have them for you

It is stupid to condemn a show mid season when nothing has been resolved and the climax of the season hasn't even been reached.

Ratings are down across the entire television board...is that not obvious?

 

[Twin2]

I missed tonight's episode, and will eventually catch it latter, but I'm just wondering how well anyone who saw it thought the scenes with Bubbles from the wire were?

 

[Ion Kenshin]

i thought his scenes were good

 

[The Caped Knight]

Whoa what an episode . This season is so far so much better than season 2 of Heroes .

I would agree that this Season isn't living up to it's hype.... But it's not going anywhere for sometime. It is still one of the top shows on ANY network. And this episode actually reined me back in. The arthur petrilli reveal, Mohinder's turn, Ando's death, and the return of Adam and Matt's dad were good plot twists.
