Chapter 40 - “Dying of the Light” – Discussion Thread 10/20/08

[LEGO Spidey]

AS HIRO (MASI OKA) AND OTHERS SEIZE UPON OFFERS TO JOIN RIVAL COMPANY PINEHEARST INDUSTRIES, PETER (MILO VENTIMIGLIA) IS FOREVER CHANGED BY A MEETING WITH ITS SHOCKING FOUNDER -- CLAIRE (HAYDEN PANETTIERE) AND HER MOM SANDRA (GUEST STAR ASHLEY CROW) TEAM UP TO SAVE MEREDITH (JESSALYN GILSIG) FROM DOYLE’S (DAVID H. LAWRENCE XVII) TWISTED GRIP -- Impressed by his sudden ruthlessness, Villains Knox (guest star Jamie Hector) and Daphne (guest star Brea Grant) bring Hiro (Masi Oka) -- among others -- into the Pinehearst fold, and give him an assignment. With Angela (Cristine Rose) and the Company paralyzed by recent events, Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) goes directly to Pinehearst for answers, and irrevocably changed by the shocking meeting. Meanwhile, Claire (Hayden Panettiere) and her mother Sandra (Ashley Crow) attempt to free Meredith (Jessalyn Gilsig) from the thrall of escaped Villain Doyle (David H. Lawrence XVII), who has the ability to take mental and physical control of others. Later, Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) brings Tracy (Ali Larter) to Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy), hoping he can shed light on the surprising origin of their abilities. Jack Coleman, Greg Grunberg, James Kyson Lee, Zachary Quinto and Dania Ramirez star. David Anders, Alan Blumenfeld, Robert Forster and Blake Shields guest star.

That sounds like badass incarnate

 

[Koz]

I'm guessing Arthur Petrelli is the founder of Pinehearst.

 

[LEGO Spidey]

All the pieces are falling into place to make Angela's precog dream a plausible reality. The "others" in the description probably refers to Adam and Maury, judging by the guest stars listed, and Knox is already with Pinehearst. That just leaves Tracy or Barbara to complete the quartet of villains... Plus Sylar on the side of the Company (pretty ironic, all things considered), backing Angela and her side of the board that most likely will include Peter, Claire, Noah, Elle and Matt. The lines have been drawn. We're in for one wild ride of a season.

 

[SuperT]

OH wow this episode sounds awesome!

Sandra and Claire working together to save Meredith sounds amazing!

 

[Maximus One]

Im very interested to see Hiros "sudden ruthlessness"

Glad to see Matt won't be going evil and Peter and Noah that'd be one wicked team up along with Syler. Nathan may go evil seeing as he's hanging with Tracey a lot this Volume, shey'll probaly talk him into going on there side some how ish. But yah this should be one heck of a Volume, there's an episode titled called Villains should be intresting. It'd probaly be Peter/Syler V.S Mr.P and Nathan. Noah/Matt teaming up agian would be neat. To bad Hiro goes evil
Though it would be cool to see a Noah/Matt/Peter team up than Syler joins in later on for his own reasons of course. Man this has me excited t:

That wouldn't surprise me .

 

[rdh007]

I'll give the writers this much--I'm really uncertain who is good and who is bad anymore.

 

[Koz]

A few promo pictures from the episode.
HERE

 

[The Caped Knight]

Based on those pics . It looks Adam heals Arthur

 

[samurai black]

Based on those pics . It looks Adam heals Arthur

That pretty much would be the only reason I see them even bringing him(ADAM) into the fold. Although he appears to be the "1st Hero", no one really likes the guy. I just hope he doesn't end up dead. He's been on alive this long.

 

[The Caped Knight]

I bet Adam gets killed off . And i wouldn't be surprised if Arthur does it .

 

[The Apocalypse]

I'll give the writers this much--I'm really uncertain who is good and who is bad anymore.

Seriously. Before I went to sleep I was trying to figure it out. I failed.

 

[RonStoppablefan]

Adam shouldn't get killed but yah know that's life

 

[mfbtl]

Was what happened to Angela the result of Arthur or Maury? (trying to figure out Arthur's power)

 

[chaseter]

Was what happened to Angela the result of Arthur or Maury? (trying to figure out Arthur's power)

I'm guessing Arthur because Maury's power only works in present time. It seems Arthur can project his powers in dreams amongst other things, making Angela see a false future when she dozed off.

What is even more interesting is going to be how we find out why Arthur is in his current predicament and why Angela is so scared of him and also why she thought he was dead.

 

[absonic93]

I look forward to information about Arthur.........."he's been pulling all the strings"

thats not true, Maury can project his powers in dreams to and he can use his powers over distance. remember what he did to molly? he was giving her nightmares then put her in a coma like state from his apartment.

 

[chaseter]

Yeah but that was only when Molly was looking for Maury Molly somehow gets into their minds to figure out where they are in the world and Maury knew she was in his head and then went inside hers. Maury otherwise has to be near his victims to create mind illusions.

 

[uchiha_itachi]

not when she was alseep though. she wasn't looking for him then

 

[chaseter]

not when she was alseep though. she wasn't looking for him then

Maybe she made a connection with him through their minds Maury wouldn't need to be running around near the people he is controlling this season if he could project his will anywhere in the world. Wasn't he also surprised to see Matt had powers in Season 2 after meeting with him? Wouldn't Maury have known that if he could go into people's dreams?

I also think he was terrorizing Molly only for the sake that he knew the company was using her to find him.

 

[uchiha_itachi]

well we havent actually seen him near nathan. the only reason he was with Daphne was because thats where he works with Arthur.

 

[chaseter]

I think it is creepy to think that Maury may have been hanging out near Nathan to make Linderman appear. If Maury can make people see someone, couldn't he make people not see him???

 

[Neptune]

That wouldn't be smart. With Adam's blood all of Arthur's agents can be healed anytime. I'm really curious about the interaction between them. Arthur is supposed to be really powerful but Adam is the one who brought them all together. He even had Maury working for him last season.
