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

[Abaddon]

Elle has only been in one episode for like 5 minutes.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Yeah. Kristen Bell's probably like walking around the set.

'Haha *****es. I've only been in like 5 minutes total airtime on TV and I get more press for the show than any of yas."

 

[fu manchu]

hopefully, she'll be in more than five minutes next episode.

*crosses fingers*

 

[Krozee]

i really really really really hope DL isnt dead.

and now i think thats suresh in the painting holding claire, like hes taking her away.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Mohinder is such a damn idiot. I hope the gun recoils and shoots his ass.

 

[Abaddon]

The Company is shady, but they probably want this cure under wraps. Though I had doubts when Bob mentioned destroying the containers with the virus.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Mohinder is such a damn idiot. I hope the gun recoils and shoots his ass.

I really thought he was just gonna shoot Bob after spilling all his damn beans

 

[GNR]

Mohinder is such a damn idiot. I hope the gun recoils and shoots his ass.

If you ask me,Hiro is the one who needs somebody to tear him a new one.

On top of his annoying ass portrayal,his storyline just annoying the heck out of me.Hiro was the one who went back in time in the first place to eff everything up.

Seriously,he better get some kid of punishment or live with some kind of misery,because I can already tell Anders is gonna get offed somehow.

Stupid Hiro.

 

[Fanticon]

Finally a worthy episode...except it wasn't all gravy...where were micah and monica? And atleast one scene with Sylar and the whine fest twins would have tied this one all together...other than that...this episode I felt strong acting and great twists involving betrayal while others overcome...Its not action that I want...as many impatient fans suggest the reason for others finding this season so difficult...its character and story development...and this episode did just that!

 

[stillanerd]

Best episode of the season by far, because not only are the stories starting to come together finally, the Latino Wonder Twins were nowhere in sight! *does a happy dance* Anyway, with regards to the various stories:

Peter: Man it must suck to be you. Just when you get your memory back (thank you Mama Petrelli. Was that actually a demonstration of her power when Peter's memories were restored?) you lose your Irish girlfirend in the post apocalyptic future (horray!) And if you potentially prevent that nightmarish future from happening, does your girlfriend also cease to exist once the timeline is gone. And you certainly could have picked a better guy than Adam for a buddy. Guess will see in the next episode how Peter met this guy.

Niki: So long Nikki, it was nice knowing you and your other self, even though you were dead weight last season and practically a non-presence this time around.

Mohindir: Jezz, Nikki's blow to your face didn't raise your IQ points any, did it? I mean, you seriously trust the Company more than HRG, especially since you know full well it was the Company that made the virus? Can this guy be even more of a tool?

Matt: The most improved character from last season has to go to Matt, and not just because we find out that his telepathy includes literally controlling the brain. His confrontation with his dad was poetic justice and a nice psychic confrontation that was simple but effective.

Claire/West: Seriously, Claire, you can do a lot better than this dork, and he's definitely not worth rebelling against your family with your whole "You go, I'm staying!" teenage rebellion act. Besides, West has got to be a plant for the Company. Sure, Bob could've figured out Claire's whereabouts from that newspaper article, but even so, it seemed like Bob has a very good idea where the Bennets are. BTW, remember Claire's comment from the first or second episode about her saying that maybe her blood could heal people? Well, guess this episode implies that her blood can do exactly that and I'm sure will see it demonstrated next week.

Hiro: Yes Hiro, it really is all your fault. Finally, he's out of Japan and, as a lot of folks figured out, he turned out to be the Kensei of legend although not the historical Kensei. Best part about that story was when he actually did face/off with Kensei. Or should I say, Adam Monroe. (Great little twist at the end, although I already knew it was coming.)

BTW, anyone else curious as to which of the group of twelve could control the weather as according to that news article?

 

[Hammerofthegods]

Pleeeeeeaaase, make Sylar kill West. He is such a *****ebag.

 

[DarkSuperman]

Wow, I completely overlooked that whole weather manipulation power. I mean, at the time there was so much going on I didn't really have time to ponder who it could have belonged to.

However, I did have somewhat of an epiphany last night. The virus plot this season sorta reminds me of "Days of Future Past" the popular X-Men story.

"Arriving back in his future, it first seemed to Bishop that nothing had changed and that the world was still as he had left it, but he soon discovered that something had changed - a deadly plague now raged across the world, engineered by the ancient mutant, Apocalypse. Travelling back in time once more to stop the virus, Bishop succeeded, but the X-Men perished in the effort."

I wonder if the virus will be cured like in the animated show when Bishop infected Wolverine with the virus and then his mutant healing factor creates a cure? Will Adam be infected by time traveler Hiro/Peter and made to save the world against his will?

 

[RockSP]

The fact that it took Nikki so long to break through a wooden door was stupid.

Like someone else said Matt being able to trap his dad didn't make sense. Pops obviously has much more experience. He'll escape (or he should, anyway).

The Hiro vs. Kensei fight was corny. Maybe Masi will use the downtown due to the strike to practice looking convincing with a sword lol.

 

[chamber-music]

Hiro- I miss alternative future Badass Hiro this season but watching him kick Kenesi/Adam's butt and blow up white beards army was pretty awesome for the little carp.

Kenesi/Adam- I Knew Kenesi was adam but it was still sweet to see him in the future. Obvious he would have Peter try and be on his side with him being the most powerful hero. Can't wait for the showdown with Hiro trying to kill Kenesi to avenge his father and peter protecting him against Hiro. Loved adams line about destroying everything hiro loves. Ando better watch his back.

Mat- Credit to the writers they managed to do something i never thought they could do and actully make me like Matt. His Psyhic face off with his old man was cool.

Claire- Still don't trust that west character. Don't think HRG is gonna die as we know the future can change. Sylar needs to eat West brains already and why can't they show Sylar eating peoples brains it would be awesome.

The Company- Finally know who founded the company. Old adam/Kensei forming his own justice league. Liking the idea of Linderman and Bob as his crazy disciples. Also Adam the immortal mastermind is a great idea as they can't kill him he can comeback for future seasons. I wonder if Sylar cuts open adam/kenesi's head and takes his powers would he be able to regenerate them? would Sylar become immortal?

And if you potentially prevent that nightmarish future from happening, does your girlfriend also cease to exist once the timeline is gone. And you certainly could have picked a better guy than Adam for a buddy. Guess will see in the next episode how Peter met this guy.

The writers stated that Angela Petrelli's power was that she could get from Point A to Point B a lot faster than Hiro. Many assumed that she had super speed. I think in actuality, her power is a higher evolved version of Hiro's ability.

 

[kane9321]

can mohinder get any dumber then he already is

 

[KenK]

Mohinder sucks at life. All there is to it.

 

[Sawyer]

Best. Episode. Yet.... Of this season anyway.

 

[Son of Sun]

Nice episode. Few episodes back I wished that Kensei's actor Anders wouldn't portray the notorious Adam, even if storywise it would make at least some sense. I like the actor, but like Grunberg, they can only portray themselves - feels like I'm almost watching Alias here, with the two of them making almost the same roles.

 

[Mysterio]

I guess it's to increase awareness of carbon dioxide, which is responsible for global warming.

except that it isn't.

 

[carrrnuttt]

The fact that it took Nikki so long to break through a wooden door was stupid.

I completely agree. It was only somewhat redeemed by her knocking the door 20 feet back.

Like someone else said Matt being able to trap his dad didn't make sense. Pops obviously has much more experience. He'll escape (or he should, anyway).

I think it has something to do with the fact that that was Maury's nightmare they were already in. Also, it might have to do with Matt finally releasing all that anger he had for his dad for leaving. He projected the disdain he had for himself (he blamed himself for his dad leaving) towards his dad.

The Hiro vs. Kensei fight was corny. Maybe Masi will use the downtown due to the strike to practice looking convincing with a sword lol.

Well, Kensei wasn't a master swordsman either. He only became "legendary" from him hiring other people to act as him. It's even likely that Hiro has had more formal training, considering what Hiro's dad did with him.

 

[Captain_BluTac]

i really enjoyed this episode but i dont really like the shanti virus story

 

[Mysterio]

I don't post here much but the past few episodes have been dragging to me.

they have been. it's been painfully slow and quite boring. last night, however, finally got the wheels going.

 

[Golgo-13]

Anyone have a link to last nights ep?

I was watching Prison Break.

 

[Mysterio]

I'd say she is. She can survive gamma radation or whatever. Don't know if she'll die from old age though.

she can't survive irreparable damage to the brain, though. she isn't immortal.
