So?

I thought tonight was a good episode. Nothing amazing, just solid.

Awesome episode! Best of the season so far by a longshot. Heroes is back!

Solid episode. There are just so many possibilities and ways to manipulate character development when you can flash forward to the future.

Re: Heroes Season 3

I enjoyed this episode, but I really wish they would stop/limit the whole glimpse-into-the-future-to-change-the-past plot device. There has to be come a point where they have to live with the actions/path that they choose and accept that responsibility to have some kind of foresight without relying on being able to transport back and forth into the future to see if what they've done has a positive or negative impact on the future.

Agreed. Overall, I really liked the episode, but I'm tired of the time jumping to change the future. And I'm completely confused as to why future Peter would allow himself to be shot. Since "current" Peter lived, future Peter should have known Claire was about to shoot him.

And it doesn't matter how many different people she becomes or powers she possesses, I can't stand Ali Larter's character(s). Every time she owns screen time my interest level comes to a screeching halt. Time to off her for good!

One scene of Maya in two weeks is not nearly enough. More of this woman please!

Re: Heroes Season 3

Oh man, that woman is unreal.

I loved last night's episode, even though I couldn't really give it my full attention cuz I was playing an online game at the same time. I do agree with the knocks against the constant glimpses into the future though. Nothing can mess up a plot like time trave, it always raises more questions than it answers.

Agreed. It was cool when Hiro came back to help Peter in Season 1. Now it's become sort of a gag. Reminds me a little of Doc in Back to the Future.

"I'm here from the future, we have to save the world!"

I am glad they reintroduced Adam. I like his character and the actor. I was thinking yesterday, up to this point, Adam is the "oldest" hero. He has to be the father of everyone right?

I would like to start seeing some characters getting knocked off. What I liked about The Wire, was that there were not any protected characters, everyone was fair game. It would be cool to see Heroes emulate this.

Re: Heroes Season 3

Adam being reintroduced and the way they did it was cool.

I'm so confused on what is going on in the "present day" that I don't know what to think since it seems like a lot of the plot developments have taken place in the future.

Parkman and "Nikki" need to shot or taken off, though I dig the new Nikki a lot more than the other one. Parkman I think has to do more with the actor than his actual character because I just really cannot stand watching him on screen during the show - he comes off very goofy and cornballish.

Re: Heroes Season 3

The more I think about the scenes taking place in the future, the more I appreciate the dichotomy of the characters. It also gives each character more depth.

For example:

Present day Sylar (Villain) is bad because he hasn't learned to control his "hunger" yet, while future Sylar (Hero) has become domesticated. It is the exact opposite for present day Peter (Hero) and future Peter (portrayed as a Villain).

Claire and Marlo and girl that is fast as portrayed in the future as Heroes but they are working for the company so they are most likely being manipulated into Villains.

Ultimately, I think they are establishing the plasticity of each character, similar to the butterfly effect that has been established. I think it is safe to assume that the roles the heroes have taken on in the future would be different if Peter saves the world. Didn't something like this happen in Season 1 also?

Unfortunately, I think Parkman is around for the long haul. They've alluded to his powerful abilities, once he figures them out. Plus they have his crazy dad running around. Parkman seems to be his foil. I think I remember seeing his Dad when they showed all of the dead heroes and the bad guys admiring their work, although Sylar was there also.

I would like to see Niki/whomever go as well, but she seems to be the catalyst between Linderman, 'flying man', and whatever is going to happen with artificially created heroes.

Oh well. The story line has me intrigued. Looks like Papa Petrelli might make his debut next week.

Re: Heroes Season 3

Fantastic, fantastic ep.

Took them 4 tries but they finally got the charm back. And here I was worried with the lame Sylar preview from last week.

Re: Heroes Season 3

Absolutely amazing episode.

The Costa Verde scene was the epitome of what makes Heroes so good, to me. The pure emotion of the characters, the highs and lows that come along with their powers, the in-depth nature that each character (namely Peter and Sylar, though) have to go through in order to keep control.

Knox (Marlo) is a badass and I am incredibly happy they borught him in. His character is awesome. The line he gave to Claire about he and Daphne being able to die was delivered perfectly.

I still hate Hiro, but at least with Adam involved in his story-arc I'll at least have an interest in the show when he is on.

Nikki is a wash, for me. I don't really care about her but it could be worse.

I like Parkman, personally. At least - I like present day Parkman. Future Parkman is too much of a family man.

**Bruins** · 10-07-2008, 12:48 PM

Re: Heroes Season 3

Do we know much about Costa Verde? It seems like it sort of came out of nowhere in last night's episode, or am I forgetting something?

Edit: Nevermind, realized that it's just the place that Claire's family moved to.

Re: Heroes Season 3

Wouldn't Peter already have the power of "hunger" because he was around Sylar enough from the get go?

Cool episode, though.

No, because unlike most people's power, we saw last night that a person can't just absorb Sylar's power, as Peter usually does. He tries and fails, because you have to learn Sylar's power, and your mind has to be able to understand how things work in order to have Sylar's power.
