Chapter 5: "Fight or Flight" Discussion 10/22/07

That's sorta the point. And Micah would probably be more useful than Ando as a sidekick.

I understand that's what they were probably gunning for. It just seems a bit too recycled, even lazy on the writers' part.

 

[JPC4]

Speaking of lazy and recycled, Peter still not being able to control his powers is getting way old. I know that I have vented about this before, but this scenario is getting redundant.

isn't claude returning though? I hope he kicks peter into shape

 

[Nightwing]

Is anyone else annoyed with the direction they're taking Monica? Especially with her "normal" friend/sidekick? She wants to help people, make a difference. She always felt special.

It just seems like Hiro and Ando all over again.

considering shes only been in two episodes how can you be sure what direction theyre taking her?as it stands the side kick is Mica not the burger girl. I think the muscle mimic thing is cool and could be interesting to see how she develops.

As for Peter....Im guessing theyre gonna go to Montreal but to what gain?i noticed the Godsend symbol above the door of the building he drew...but who could it be that hes going to see?and who is that blonde chicks dad?

Also isnt this show turning into a vicious circle?i mean 'Nightmare man' matts dad was talking about the powers developing and that his powers were the same as matts.hes already displayed mind reading and now talking through telepathy.is he gonna get the nightmare powers too?if so is he gonna be the next nightmare man for our current characters?

and i think people are looking far too deeply into who the killer is at this stage.it could eb anyone of those on the photo and the fact that we've only met a small handful of them then it leaves massive potential open for anyone.i personally think nightmare man is just looking out for himself.like he said he tried all he could to prevent the others from grasping too much power....which means someone from that photo is another Peter or Sylar style power stealer.

i just cant wait for next week....wohoo

He is?! YES! ECCLESTON! t:

 

[squeekness]

He is?! YES! ECCLESTON! t:

I'd love to see him come back. He was another of my faves from last season.

 

[Nathan]

Since we're talking about returning people, does anyone know what happened to that woman that had the ability to hack into the net?

 

[Mysterio]

He is?! YES! ECCLESTON! t:

the only mention of Claude i've seen is that the writers used him as an example of a character they could explore for the Heroes: Origins shows.

Since we're talking about returning people, does anyone know what happened to that woman that had the ability to hack into the net?

yes, her entire story is told in the online novels.

 

[Captain_BluTac]

internet woman wasnt that hana if so isnt she dead i cant really remember

 

[Nathan]

yes, her entire story is told in the online novels.

Ah, I didn't know there were online novels. I thought I missed an Episode or something or didn't pay attention because she was suddenly gone.

 

[Captain_BluTac]

u can read them on the heroes wikipedia page there is a bit where it says about the plot with a link to episode to episode summarys and links to pdf versions of the graphic novels

Everything you need to know should be told in the show, IMO.

 

[Mysterio]

Ah, I didn't know there were online novels. I thought I missed an Episode or something or didn't pay attention because she was suddenly gone.

they are released on the nbc/heroes website every tuesday. they are considered canon and they generally fill in some gaps and background info.

Everything you need to know should be told in the show, IMO.

well you don't need to know the novels' contents to follow and understand the show, but the info in them is certainly going to come up in a discussion forum. besides, this is the way the media works nowadays, offering complementary content through multiple outlets.

 

[Neptune]

Monica's power is so great. Screw doble dutch i wanted to see her do a kickflip. And is Jessica back!? Thank you god.

 

[Captain_BluTac]

there you go ^^^

 

[Damiean Dark]

Monica is the new star of the show for me its great to see a African-american hero (DL was good but they never really scratched the surface of him imo) she has kickass powers and is a hot looker her story seems more real then any of the others.

 

[Captain_BluTac]

i just like that she is embracing her powers cus only person to really do that last year was hiro and he is a bit well you know this year

 

[Mysterio]

Monica:

notice the shoes.

 

[Captain_BluTac]

i doubt she would carry knives tho

 

[RockSP]

i doubt she would carry knives tho

She better, damn it!!!!!!!!!

 

[Captain_BluTac]

lol i would quite like to see her with a knight stick

 

[NateGray]

Monica:

notice the shoes.

Oh yeh and the fact its a 9th wonder means 90-100% of it will happen
I really hope we see Micah flipping through the pages of it and them taking ideas from it.

 

[Captain_BluTac]

they should release 9th wonders as a actual comic or atleast the covers as posters or something

 

[Dark Sentinel]

ok i may be a little late but did anyone notice that Matt's powers evolved?
