can anyone answer my matt parkman vs sylar question?
Damn there were 3 sisters, completely forgot about the personality-split thing.. meh.
I can't remember if they have met before but my guess is Matt can't "block" Sylars telekinesis (if he can its probably only for a short while) because Sylar is too powerful, kinda like when Peter(was it?) tried to hold his father back when he was alive, he could do it but only for a really short while because his dad was too powerful...Quote:

Anyway, thats what i think :P
Matt's psychic powers are a different being all together from telekinesis. You might think they're similiar since Xavier and Jean Grey had both powers in X-Men.
Yeah but my thoughts are that Parkman's powers are more like the Jedi mind trick, in the sense that it won't really work against someone with the mental capacity of Sylar.
His natural ability to understand how things "work" might also play some role in wether Parkmans ability will work on him or not, but i think he managed to "erase" Sylars mind to create the Nathan clone only because Sylar was unconcious.
Even after he supposedly erased all traces of Sylar he is still in there (as seen by Nathan noticing the clock at the end was running slow, and the classic "ticking" sound they use when Sylar uses his "understanding" ability)
Ofcourse these are just my guesses and i could be waay off :P
It certainly is reasonable to believe that Matt can't control Sylar. In that sense, have we seen in heroes anybody hold back someone with telekinetic powers?
I can't remember too clearly but my first thought would be the Haitian, who nullifies other powers..
Now that i think about it, wasnt he at the place helping Peter hold his dad back or am i remembering wrong?
It might have been him instead that said he couldnt hold him much longer because of his strength...
Damnit now im not sure, i could look it up but i gtg do some stuff atm..
Some cool casting news, now that Prison Break is over.
Here's a hint:

Nice, he was one of my favourite characters from Prison Break, him and Mahone.
Ugh, I would be excited to see the awesomeness known as Tea Bag if I hadn't lost all hope for the writers of Heroes and the characters they create.
Let the massacre begin.
Holy shit, fucking Darth Maul is in the house!!
New Heroes Cast
Edit:
He also played Toad in the X-Men movies, and is playing Snake Eyes in the upcoming "G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra" movie.
Here's a promo for next season, it's kinda long so it might give up a few things away:

I don't know, but it looks like it could be a good one. I think T-Bag will steal the show.
Season premieres on the 21st.
Looks like the Hiro storyline is gonna continue to suck.
On that we can agree on. I've been ready for him to be killed off for 2-3 seasons now. At first he was a fun character. He just became too dumb and silly.Quote:

Oh gawd Nikki/Jessica/blah/blah version 4 now? Will it never end?!?!?!?
Edit: I thought I'd seen every episode, but I really have no idea what is happening in this series anymore. :(
It's kind of weird to see Robert Knepper again under these circumstances, but not in an unpleasant way. I guess he has a natural thing for the villain role.
So, it's safe to assume that he's the leader of some resistance group that will either recruit new members or kill them?
So, season 4 has started.
Good to see my favourite Sylar isnt gone, and i like Knepper's new character.
Also, kinda cute how Noah and Tracy seem to have something going on there ;P
Not a bad ep, ignoring the tiny bits shoddy writing and retconn of course.
It's REALLLLY improved though, I'm actually looking forward to it this season!
I really liked the episode myself. I still think that the pace is too slow for a show like this. And Hiro, who I really dislike had some good funny moments. The knife fight with Peter was quite cool. Does he still have the problem with only being able to have one power at a time, or do you guys think he's back to normal?
What about Sylar and Parkman, do you think Sylar will take over Parkman somehow or influence him enough to make him some sort of Sylar part Duex?
I also like the Noah-Tracy pairing.
And let's give it up for T-Bag.
One thing though, did they really need to use the word REDEMPTION like 50 times throughout the episode? I'm surprised they didn't use Bob Marley's song at some point.
Ya, i believe Peter is still limited to one power at a time, thats why he said he came with Noah only to gain the other dudes ability because it would help him in his life-saving heroics ;P
If he had superspeed AND the superstrength he had before, the knife guy would have been toast since Peters knife swings would have been several times stronger than his, not to mention the kicks Peter landed on the knife fella would have seriously messed his insides up.
What exactly is T-Bag's powers? He has that compass, and at the beginning he pulled the dirt over the coffin. When I saw thought I thought Earth, I guess? But maybe the hand motions were just metaphoric and someone else was doing that? Or he has telekinesis too, or something.
Maybe it was a manifestation of his tattoos moving the dirt? I'm curious as well.Quote:

I think the Ink is a generic mystical item like when Hiro saw the African dude and the african dude gave him something to see the future.
This show has gotten more clever! Like the good old days all of a sudden! Also Sylar is sexy
I really think they need to get over the whole Sylar thing since he has been the criminal since day 1. Also really dislike it that peters powers are weaker now but i guess he was getting over powered:P
Think also that Clairs new friend is also has some sort of an ability wouldn't suprise me since she is a known actress.
Btw love how much fun Sylar is having with Parkman ahhahhaah Hope he turns him evil or at least makes him do evil :D
Get over the Sylar thing? Blasphemy! Sylar was and still is the best thing about this show :D
Yeah but thinking he is Nathan? Ruins it for me :(
Like him tho but its a bit dragged out if you ask me :P make a move someone has to die the "heroes" or sylar.
Starting to remind me of Smallville with the whole drag along thing
I guess T-Bag really is an Earth manipulator. Finally, the Earth users in every show or whatever have always been lame or the typical muscle dude. I guess the ink he uses is from the Earth so he has free usage of it? Shrug.
Yay, sexy Sylar is reborn!
So I'm confused how Sylar's body has Nathan's memories. All Parkman did was make Sylar's mind BELIEVE he was Nathan. There wasn't a memory transfer or anything, since Nathan was dead. Or did I completely forget that there was one?
I think Sylar has the ability to remember everyone's experiences by touching them or something.. and he has the ability to see the history of an object by touching it (which gives him memories Nathan didn't even have)
(I've also given up wondering about continuity issues in this show lol)
Yay indeed, Sylaaaaaaaaar!!
I actually enjoyed Hiro's storyline for once in a looooooooooooong time.
Loved the scene where Sylar runs up to the carnival and enters it :D
Hope he joins them as a member and not just kill everyone and take their powers. Really good idea to have this carnival in the first place, one of the better in the heroes show.
Yah, this season is lookin' alot better than the previous one. T-bag is fucking great in this ^^
Edit: The deaf woman who sees sound, i like her, shes just so cute!
Also, when she broke that wall with her sound-vision (yeah, im going to call it that now ^^) she was sad and/or angry so im guessing that ability has different effects depending on the users mood/feelings.
This show got so good so fast
Heroes was amazing for the first few seasons. After maybe season two it has been going down hill. They need to stop adding new Heroes and maybe it will get better. I just dont like the things that have been happening. Hopefuly they get this on track again because it was unique.
Your first two sentences contradict each other so bad.Quote:

...And the plot isn't being driven by prophecies! Wooo!
But I do think it's retarded to say Hiro is dying, I mean we all know he can't die until he becomes badass Hiro from the future.. unless almost dying makes him into badass Hiro into the future?
Did anyone else get the Chrono Trigger reference Hiro did. That shit was awesome.

Uh, did Peter just say "Call you later." to a deaf person?
I am guessing her phone lights up. I just wonder why she lives alone and yet her buzzer still makes a noise.Quote:

Yeah, but even if her phone flashes, and she picks up... how the f*ck does she know what the other person is saying? :P
They normally have screens on them that translate.Quote:

Sylar and Peter in the world with no one for years was a nice touch. I like what they did there.
What the hell? So now we know how Sylar becomes good, I guess. They didn't really elaborate on what it's like to spend years there.
They keep spontaneously making crap up about HRG and his past. Borrrringgggg
Just watched the season finale, and now the cat's out of the bag... and its about damn time ^_^
About 3-4 episodes behind... will probably catch up during the weekend. This might just be the series finale. But, even as horrible as the ratings might be, I think it still has a shot at getting renewed.
Aye, i would be happy to see this renewed, i don't care that apparently everyone and their grandma dislikes this show, i still like it :D
Where are half the characters? Mohinder for example lolll Actually scratch everything
HATIAN > ALL there goes the plot, he could have easily countered Teabags random ability to get stronger around other supers. Also it's creepy that they got an actress that has the same eyes as young Charlie.
Well I guess this coming out of closet thing could have potential. I guess.
Yea it was freaky about young and old Charlie. I wondered if it was the same actor just with makeup to look old. But there was some differences and the appearance didn't look like makeup (usually you can tell it isn't real). So i had to check up on it and it was actually two different actors. Scary.
The only thing i could think about when Samuel and Peter was ahving their standoff was the Gohan and Cell fight.
I hope it doesn't get canceled. I wanna see another season where Sylar is a good guy. And have him struggle with his nature, and struggle with everyone else's view on him. For me the main attraction to this show has been Sylar. I really hope it gets a last season.
Yeah, this comes as no surprise but Heroes just got cancelled :P
Apparently they're trying to plan for a series ending event... maybe a 2-hour or 4-hour special.
This will be very good. I think networks should have a general policy of giving cancelled shows a chance to finish up with some sort of special, and wrap things up as best as possible. It's the least they can do for their customers.
