Episode 15 - "Run" - Discussion Thread 2/12/07

[Mysterio]

we're going to have to disqualify that on a technicality: Matt didn't "talk" to Nikki; he hears thoughts. the Russian judge did give you an 8, however, and he's a tough nut to crack.

Okay but melting doesn't necessarily mean that it must be a product of heat. I don't get how that insults you.

Not insulted, just very annoyed. There seems to be a lot of semantic arguing in this forum and it's all very trivial. I think it was pretty obvious that I wasn't using scientific terminology and was simply trying to guage two sides of one coin - can he melt in the traditional sense and would he be limited to "meltable" objects (wax, metal, even sugar in water, etc) or can he change a solid of any kind into a liquid regardless of an outside agent acting on it (heat, chemicals, etc). There's nothing that could cause wood to become a puddle, except for Zane/Sylar.

I apologize for the *****y tone; my cat had woken me up at 6:00 Sunday morning by launching off my throat with his back claws. Then I couldn't fall back asleep, so I was in a really bad mood.

 

[newwaveboy87]

does Jeff Dahmer work better for you?

did i say there wasn't homosexual serial killers? no. but what he said read like he was saying all serial killers exhibit "quirks" like being gay.

Loved Sylar in the Ramones t shirt (Tim Kring, the only director to have directed both Joey Ramone and Frank Sinatra).

RLY!? SRSLY!?
sweet.

who knows if that's what we'll get next week? they're going crazy in the editing room. last week's preview had footage of Peter pushing Isaac.

a bit too crazy in the editing room.

yes, they do. your bio says your 16, right? go ask your chemistry teacher. and i know you didn't just use a science fiction tv show as supporting evidence.

it's not solely heat, that's what he was saying. yes heat plays a big, huge really, part in it, but it's not the only thing.

I did...I was right

I understand...I was just trying to tell you, I wasn't trying to be a smart ass or anything.

Danged Russian Judge.

Anyone who looked at Zane's power and action and thought it was heat related needs to go get some ice out of the fridge RIGHT NOW! Hold it... hold it... THAT'S what heat meltnig looks like... notice the lack of spikes indicative of molecular-level activity.

 

[Lurk]

Did we see any "non-meltables" in Zane's apartment? I remember seeing a half-melted phone, which is plastic or similar. We saw two metal objects transformed. Were there any indications of something weird melting, like a book or a plate or a brick or something? Also, did the puddles harden or were they still in a liquid state?

 

[3 Dev Adam]

Can he melt a human?

BTW, nice episode.

 

[3 Dev Adam]

when did missy pyle get so damned big?..she towered over ando and hiro

She's 5' 11" and was wearing high heels. And I think there was some forced perspective involved.

 

[Sawyer]

Last night was lame. The highlight was seeing missi pyle in a short skirt.

Lampshade in the back was halfway melted, that was most of those are a textile of a sort.

 

[Mysterio]

could be a result of a: zane not having full control of his power, or b: sylar's corrupted power.

 

[The Sage]

After last week's great episode, this week's was pretty subpar. I'm disappointed in finding out Claire's mom is a gold digger. But the story between those three was good. HRG's wife suffering from the numerous mindwipes...wow. That's gonna give Claire more of a reason to long for her real mother. Matt's storyline was pretty good with Jessica. Ando/Hiro's stuff was weak. And no Peter made it even weaker.

 

[web-head5]

not to maybe change the subject or anything, but i really got to get this off my chest. IMO, Nathan needs to grow some balls and stop being a momma's boy and start doing what he knows is right rather than refuse to risk sacrificing his reputaion. Nate has some bad a s s powers, but he's really starting to p i s s me off. his daughter he thought was dead for 15 years is alive for God's sake and he refuses to see her because oooo , he might not make congress... bs.

Poor Claire, both set of parents seem to be unkind. HRG wants to mind wipe everyone and Nathan has no spine. Her real mom is after money and her fake mom is too stupid to know shes been mindwiped more than dc character usually do. The episode was great, peter not appearing was good because he can't in every episode and still be interesting. Ando seems to think with the wrong head. Hopefully Hiro will meet Linderman now. It was cool to see some of the heroes fighting for once but I can't wait until Sylar and Peter fight now.

 

[3 Dev Adam]

This week's episodes wasn't weak.
What it did was to expose the beginnings of new plot complications.

 

[Darren Daring]

her fake mom is too stupid to know shes been mindwiped

 

[GL1]

Well, previously she was too mindwiped to know she was mindwiped, but I think now she's realizing that her sickness and her memory loss are connected... she may not remember Claire, but she knows that it makes more sense that that big 15 year missing chunk is supposed to have a daughter in it than her living alone in a big empty house...

But... congress is more important than Claire... not that Nathan could really do anything for her anyway...

 

[gambitfire]

Cool episode. I enjoyed it. I'm not expecting every episode to be a big hitter, but this one was deffinetley enjoyable.

Hiro was funny as usual.

Nikki and Jessica i'm loving every second, just wish we got more DL and Micah.

Claire's story got more interesting, too bad about her Mom though.

Matt is on his way to becoming one of my faves. I wish he would toughen up a bit more and find a way to use his powers offensively.

Oh and Sylar, well i love hating him. In other words i love the character.

 

[Triadkd]

This was the best episode in a long time. Im growing tired of hiro and ando's antics, and I hope they make headway soon. I was a bit surprised by nathans actions, but he will come around eventually. After seeing jessica in action I really hope she kills nikki and becomes the dominant personality. And am I the only one who thinks it's funny that eveyone seems to hate matt? I mean this guy gets insulted where ever he goes.

 

[GL1]

I actually think the hate against Matt is a little bit forced, though he was smart enough not to go around hearing things and let everyone know he mysteriously found the diamonds...

 

[web-head5]

But... congress is more important than Claire... not that Nathan could really do anything for her anyway...

he could meet her. that's all she really wants is to meet him.

 

[GL1]

he could meet her. that's all she really wants is to meet him.

Heh. She's a teenager... she doesn't know what she wants. She could have walked in Merideth's trailer and met him whenever she wanted, but she sat outside crying because he didn't care about her. Claire wants something emotional from him...

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

I live Pasdar's performance when he's back in the limo. Very emotional.

 

[GhostPoet]

The phone was also melted. And that's made out of plastic.

 

[Lurk]

^Been noted. We were wondering if something "non-meltable" (something the would normally catch fire or combust if heat was applied) had been liquified, like a book or a plate.
