Chapter 4: The Kindness of Strangers Discussion 10/15/2007

[Xplicit Content]

I'm feeling bi-polar tonight. The elation of what is a new Heroes episode tempered with the suicidal urges brought upon by my Red Sox.

Good stuff! Add me to the list of people who like the addition of Monica to the cast. I like her power...I agree with whoever said it's good to see some heroes who don't have the "sexy" powers like energy projection or super strength. Monica's power is clever. Loved the restaurant robbery scene. I was sitting there like "Uh oh...robber dude, u don't wanna play with this chick right now...she just got done watching some WWE." The resulting ownage was hilarious. Man, Dania...do u have to be that gullible girl we all loathe? I love u like sex, but u reminded me of those chicks in horror movies who get axed after they insist on walking into the dark and foreboding rooms after they hear strange bumps in the night. Ol' dude is lying in the middle of the road and "knows" the same person you're looking for...RUN, BISH, RUN! If the situation wasn't shady enough, I'm convinced he literally smells like trouble. Sylar gives off a scent of shady as pungent as my bowel movements after Taco Bell. The big reveal of the 12 was an interesting development. I wasn't expecting that type of reveal until later on. I like the theories of Takeo being Mr. Petrelli and West being a plant by the company. His scent of shady is less pungent than Sylar's, but he's young. However, I did love his clinic to Claire on the art of lying. See, Claire...after he just schooled u like that on the intricacies of lying, red flags should start to go up.

Next week should be good. The long-awaited debut of Kristen ELLE!

Finally:

could that be Nana in the lower left corner

 

[squeekness]

Maybe...

 

[Xplicit Content]

All of the other people in the photo look like they do presently, so I don't know if I accept that Nana is a member of the 12 anymore. Doesn't look at all like her in the photo.

 

[Abaddon]

Good point.

 

[RockSP]

Im wondering what Mr.Petrallies power was..maybe superspeed? There has to be a reason why we cant see his face clearly in the picture?

And the ugly Nathan face returns!

He wouldn't be using powers in a picture.

 

[phoenixflight]

This season is reminding me of Gen 13...anyone remember that comic?!? They were "Gen Active" due to their parents. Weren't they (the parents) called "Gen 12" or some group with the number 12 in it.

 

[squeekness]

Maybe she's Devereau's wife? He is sitting next to her.

 

[GNR]

Best episode this season thus far.

-Dana was very convincing
-Sylar is once again up to no good,going to be interesting to see what
-Nathan finally gets the deserved screentime,best character on the show IMO
-Parkman's daddy being apart of the secret league was cool
-the Hollywood sign scene was perfect and so were the effects,West is becoming a convincing character,not the "Seth clone" I thought he was going to be

Looking forward to Fight or Flight!

Finally:

The lower left black woman looks like DL's mother.

 

[zhulok]

^^
Yah she kind of does look like her.

 

[i-n-z-a-n-e]

Is that man beside Nakamura the man that recently hired mohinder (forgot his name) the one that has the ability to change things to gold.

 

[web-head5]

yup. name's Bob.

 

[squeekness]

Yes.

Notice only 11 people in the pic? I'm figuring the only person missing is Kensei, especially since by now, we'd all recognize him and put it together.

Also, did anyone notice in the preview before this week's ep, one of the clips was a shot of Kensei knocking Hiro out with a blow to the head?

EDIT: We never saw D.L.'s mom. In an online interview, Nichelle Nichols confirms that she plays Micah's great aunt, hence Monica and the fat kid being his cousins.

What do you mean we never saw/met DL's mom. Think back to season 1...we met her.

There are only 11 people in the photos. Who said it had to be 12 members?! Who is taking the photo??

 

[neemer5]

Who said it had to be 12 members?! Who is taking the photo??

The killer.

 

[phoenixflight]

The killer.

Could Claude have been the 12th member sitting (but turned invisible when the photo was taken)??? He always seemed difficult. The picture looks 'off balance'. They should have another person sitting.

 

[Abaddon]

well, one has to wonder why Papa Petrelli was looking off to the side. unless the only reason they did that is so we wouldn't see him clearly.

 

[Savage]

uh, no, it's not open to interpretation. Parkman pointed to his father, and she said he's the nightmare man. then Molly said she'd help find Parkman's father and guess what? it was the nightmare man.

Molly said she'd find Parkman's father or did Parkman keep pointing to his dad over and over again and pretty much ignore everybody else in the picture? The impression I got was he was freaking out about his dad even being in the picture while Molly was freaking out about the Nightmare man being in the picture. But hey, that's just me. I did after all miss the original shot of Parkman's dad. Only got to see Molly's response to the picture.

For now I'll just agree with everybody that the Nightmare Man really is Parkman's father and I'll just be pleasantly suprised if it turns out to be a curve ball or something.

We saw DL's mother in one of the first four episodes of season 1.

 

[OobeDoobBenubi]

So who is looking forward to Nathan & Peter reuniting next week t:

 

[Lando7763]

We saw DL's mother in one of the first four episodes of season 1.

Oops. Went back and watched after I posted. So early in the season I forgot. Maybe the one in the pic could be the same character, but it's not a good enough shot to tell if it's the same actress.

Seriously doubt Claude is one of the 12. Considering he was "tagged" once, and was acting as Noah's partner, putting them both under Thompson. Not to mention his graphic novel during pre-season, and the fact that most company's executives, even in real life, don't do the kind of grunt work he and Noah did for so long. Besides, I don't see Thompson as having that much power to give Noah the order to kill an executive, as he was instructed to do in "Company Man's" flashback. We also know that Kaito mentioned 9 of the original 12 remained. The 3 missing: Papa Petrelli, Charles Deveaux, and Linderman.

Adapting is her ability... nice.

Kirsten Bell is also coming onto the show next week. Woot! t:

That's what i've been saying for months. Glad that this picture finally puts that theory to rest.
