Chapter 7: "Out of Time" Discussion 11/5/07

[Jennifer Walters]

So, was Adam possibly behind the bomb plot last season as well, Bob did say Linderman was his apprentice.

 

[LeChuck]

Yes, when I'm watching this with my momma or sister I'm like "OMG, they did this in XMen " and they're like , or I'll tell a friend, the list is kind of like the Mutant Registration Act in X-Men and they're like "Huh?

Haha, i completely tripped when Claire's mom gave her that necklace. And then the week after when Matt fought Nicky... And the watchmen **** was so ****ing stupid.

 

[The Chairman]

If they kept the cast on tonights show plus Sylar I would be happy. The other characters like Maya, Alejandro, Micah, Monica are Unneeded boring and just useless

Micah serves purpose. Without him, Nikki's a waste.

 

[Abaddon]

It is, I just feel they are doing it at the wrong time this year and the questions aren't really big enough to warrant their own episode this time around. Hell, most of them could've been pieced together in the viewer's head.

DL died from the gunshot wound. Nathan flew away (or was forced away by Peter). Peter survived based on Claire's power, etc. I feel like the questions that need answered (Elle and Adam's relationship to Peter, how Peter got amnesia, etc) can be answered through the current plot as opposed to moving things back four months.

I don't think it is that at all. You saw pacing problems in the first season (even on DVD). Bad pacing is bad pacing, plain and simple. Regardless of how you watch it.

Well, they're entitled to tell the story any way they feel is best. Whether it was worth it or not, we'll have to wait and see.

He's always been a bore. I think he's a lame villian. He doesn't do his research.

:heart:

How exactly was I rude to you?

And because someone's opinion does not agree with majority they deserve to be treated poorly?

Because you claimed my opinion was ridiculous when i was politely telling you what i and most everyone thought. Look i know your entitled to your own opinion but could you try to look for the good in the show and not the bad.

No, I said coming onto a public message board and expecting to be sheltered from a negative opinion is ridiculous.

 

[Matt]

At the same time, I am entitled to have an opinion on it with Caboose jumping down my throat every time I post it. Also, it seems quite a bit of America has an opinion it. I mean ratings are down nearly half this year, correct?

 

[Primal Slayer]

I think Sylar's awesome. Well, he was last season. He's damn creepy and he does have depth to him. And Quinto plays him in such a convincing manner. If I ever ran into ZQ on the street, I'd probably be scared ****less, even though I hear he's incredibly friendly in real life.

lol, since I first saw ZQ on So Notorious I dont find him creepy whenever i see a pic of him in normal everyday wear. But they first introduced him on Heroes I found Sylar more creepy then, than I do now.

I personally think that's all the character Sylar has going for him. I lost my liking for Sylar once I found out how he got his powers. He greed for trying to have every power is redundant to me.

See but thats the problem i come on here knowing full well that your basically the only one that gives the negative opinions so i know for a fact that i wont be finding opinions against mine other than yours on this public message board.

Every show has a slump. Desperate Housewives started huge and dropped a little and now they right back to their glory days. Greys was big, got huge, and is now just big again, its not huge as it once was.

 

[Matt]

Micah serves purpose. Without him, Nikki's a waste.

One could say though, that Kim Bauer serves a similiar purpose to Jack Bauer (giving him a reason for going through all his crap, etc). At least the writers had the good sense though to not to focus on her non-stop after season 3. I mean to say, wouldn't 24 be worse if we spent half the episode watching Kim with her therapist lover? I feel that way about Micah and Monica this year to an extent.

 

[Abaddon]

Quinto just comes off a bit too feminine. Sylar was much creepier when it looked like he was a middle-aged guy.

Are they really?

Most of my friends don't watch it cuz they forgot it came back on.
Now they're all behind and won't watch it till they catch up. *shrugs*

I'm glad you agree.

This isn't a strictly Heroes fan site. I am not violating the terms of service on here. Just because a majority agrees with you, doesn't mean the minority should be oppressed.

Losing half of your viewers is just about the slump of the century though.

It really wouldn't surprise me .

 

[DarkSuperman]

Patience is a virtue. I don't mind the pacing. It gives me something to look forward to. It's a tv show. I don't want it to be over too quickly. then what would I have to watch? I am enthralled by every episode so far and each character is interesting to me. Even Nikki!

I can't wait to see how it all plays out and I'm more than willing to wait.

 

[LeChuck]

I just hope 24 and Lost are good this year, and that the writers strike didn't totally anniliate all my mindless TV watching. Oh and I did like tonight's episode, I think its cool that West isn't a badguy but its pretty obvious he's going to sacrifice himself to save HRG. I mean, there's no subtlety at all on Heroes.

 

[Specter313]

They haven't lost half their ratings. Ratings may be down, but it's nowhere near that bad. Don't manipulate facts just to try and put one up on the people who you don't like.

Well, Nikki will most likely die this season (Ali Larter wants out anyway), so he might not be around much longer.

 

[Golgo-13]

Jeez, every week it's Matt.Matt.Matt.

Whine.Whine.Whine.

*****.*****.*****.

It's the reason i barely look in here anymore.
