Chapter 63 - Acceptance - 10/5/09

[ChaoticPsylocke]

Anyone else think that at least one or two of them should have come out in the public and actually been a "hero"? Then maybe there could have been a duality or a team by now and some actual Villains. They should have had new baddies put in the facility one at a time and every once in a while they either broke out or new ones would show up. Also, mob lords and crime syndicates and leagues of assassins could have also been explored. Maybe some heroes that are mostly active in the day and some mostly in the night. I'm just saying that it feels like they tried to re-use the season one formula over and over instead of pushing the potential a little further forward.

i think that would have been amazing! and id love for them to try something like that even now.

Is it just me or did the preview for next weeks episode make it seem like Sylar lost his memory? If that's the case I can see him turning good and Matt be his protaganist(sp.?).

I actually thought of this too, which is why I'm interested in what happens next. The season IS called Redemption and I'm wondering if maybe Sylar finds his redemption by believing he is Nathan.

this show needs to start uniting some of these characters for anything interesting to happen. I like the Peter and Bennett scenes but there are very few of them, Sylar and Parkman are interesting. I find nathan to be incredibly boring, its time they start bring some of these guys together full time. I mean season one Hiro spent a ton of time searching for Peter and other heroes and they find eachother then back to their separate lives. Id like to see Peter, Hiro, and Bennett all start teaming up to save people.

Also is Suresh off the show or something, and what happened to Rebel aka the little computer kid

I think Mohinder is gone. They've been straining for stories with him for a while so I guess they didn't bother this season. Either that or they're trying to slim down the cast of characters. And they always forget Micah aka Rebel.

I would like for the characters to start uniting too. Maybe the carnival looking to recruit them might cause that but at this point I doubt it. I think that ship was gone after Season 1.

 

[Ion Kenshin]

Exactly, Linderman, Adam Munroe, hell even Danko were great villains, but they all were pushed aside to make ''The Sylar Show starring those other guys."

This show creates interesting promising new characters like those guys, Elle, Daphne, and then just tosses them to the side to reuse Peter, Claire, HRG, and Sylar again.

I call that the Wolverine Syndrome. Well it seems everyone loves him so let's make him the focus in every movie and put him in every comic book on every team simultaneously. Granted I am not a huge fan of Sylar at all. The killin everyone for theit powers thing is stale. However I do enjoy him when he is being manipulative and sneaky. Sylar is a smart man. If they had him using his mind for outsmarting people and/or making them doubt theirselves I'd like him a whole lot more.

I think the season has been OK (not good or terrible) so far, but this episode was simply not interesting to me.

I am so tired of Hiro. When I saw the recap of Hiro's previous actions this season at the beginning of the episode, I groaned because I realized that meant he was going to be in this one. I used to like Hiro, I really did, but I can't take anymore of this man-child. He spent the whole episode learning a lesson that the Heroes writers should have had him learn a long while ago. And his scenes with Ando and Kimiko were painful to me. They are all poor actors. I mean, in previous episodes and in this one, when Ando was finding out about or talking about Hiro dying, he just sounded like he was talking about going to the store for some bread or something. I felt no real emotion there. If the characters sound like they don't give a crap, I have a hard time giving one myself.

I am also tired of Sylar. I agree he should have stayed dead after the events of season 1, but if the writers were determined to keep him alive anyway, they should have done something different with him in season 2, something that would have led to some actual character development that may have extended the character's shelf-life.

I liked Noah this episode. His interactions with Peter and Tracy were both good. As stupid as Tracy's introduction in season 3 was, I like her now. I think she's gotten more complicated, and I hope the writers exploit that and give her something good to do.

The actor who plays Suresh is still a regular this season, so I imagine he will show up at some point. Whether he will have a great role to play is unknown, but he will be back.

And the Rebel story arc got completed in the graphic novels.

I found it interesting that every scene with Tracy last night involved a mirror; could they be hinting that Nikki/Jessica aren't completely gone? Add in the fact that she was fooling around with politicans like Nikki/Jessica at one point...I don't know, seems too much of a coincidence to me.

As for the whole Sylar debate, I've always enjoyed him and still do, it's just that he lost his mystery from S1. To say the downfall of the show has been simply Sylar is silly IMO, there were/are too many things that have dampered the quality of the show aside from him.

Also, I'm very intrigued still by this dead Joseph brother; I want to know what powers he had, what his goal was and where Samuel's agenda is heading.

 

[YoungE808]

I honestly didn't find anything besides the last 10min to be interesting at all.

It is often said that a hero (or Heroes in this case) is only as good as his villains. Sylar has been the only villain to last longer then one volume and he himself has gotten stale because they don't develop him yet constantly use him even if he is not necessary to the plot. Every X-Men comic doesn't have Magneto show up and it would get old really fast if they did. They have other villains show up to vary up the villain roster as well as give previous villains a rest so when they do appear again it actually feels unique and interesting.

Hmm It was my least favorite episode of the Volume by far. More boring old Claire, Hiro the man child, Traceys no story. Put them all together, what do you get? Lame. What they should do is, have some good characters mixed with horrible characters, that way it'd get the episode a little better. Peters interaction with Noah/Claire/Nathan were the best parts of the episode. Next weeks looks great at least.

 

[Neptune]

BOOOOORINGGGG! This was a total filler. Only thing interesting was Sylar coming back and HRG deciding to investigate the carnivale clan agaian.

I agree. It feels like they spent all of last episode on the good characters with interesting story arcs so now they decided to spend some time with the lackluster ones who aren't even really doing much (Hiro learned a life lesson, Claire talked with Noah about him getting a job, and Tracy decided she doesn't like her old job anymore). It would be better to space the good storyarcs out a bit at least.

 

[Lighthouse]

I thought Peter was very nonchalant about Nathan's new abilities. I probably would have been a lot more concerned than he was.

 

[Deaths Head II]

I think Peter is too used to power changes by this point to really be worried. He himself has radically changed his power and like he said, Nathan wouldn't be the first member of their family to start spontaneously displaying ability after ability.
