Heroes - Out Of Time (SPOILERS)

In case any of you 'tards watched RAW.... mind the spoiler space........

There now. So - Adam Monroe = Takezo Kensei. Not *exactly* the payoff I was looking for, seeing is how the msg boards had this figured out a long time ago. Adam must be one of the gang in the picture - but he looks so young now, and yet looked older in the Pic of 12... how'de'do'dat? Nevertheless - did the ageless wonder spent centuries killing off Heroes until he could get to the Nakamuras? I'm curious to see how they're going to explain his tie in to the Group of 12. I'm also disappointed in the Maury Parkman 'Nightmare Man' payoff. Seemed like they could have done more with Maury being the pawn for the real Nightmare man, and *really* screwing up Matt's life. I thought they could have done a lot more with that character - but Parkman's character was golden this episode- and for a sci-fi geek show, that was some fine acting. Bravo. I'm glad Hiro is out of the 1600's FINALLY. Noah Bennet. What *is* his story? I feel like Suresh, I don't know what side to believe, Bob and Primatech or Noah the rogue protecting Claire? Obviously they're writing Noah to be a heel (see Season 1), but if the Company does have the human race's best interest in mind, why would Noah want to keep that from happening? And is Suresh's apparent offing of Noah, according to Issac's paintings, for the good of humanity as suggested? And what role with Maya and Sylar play into this??? Sylar seems only out to get his powers back - how will he use Maya's power - for the benefit of the Company, or to help Adam? The show is *finally* getting interesting as they've laid the groundwork for the season and got out of these lagging storylines - how will the characters finally come together and in what capacity?? Heroes... Great Show!

I totally agree. I was disappointed in the payoff. Otherwise I agree with everything else you've said.

He coulda time traveled, being younger in the present than what... 20 years ago... when the picture of the 12 was taken.

Noah's only interested in making sure the company doesn't take Claire from him. To him, that's the bad thing he's go to stop, doesn't care if they're doing good things.

What does anyone see in this series? Really?

The characterization is almost nonexistent. I'm not even sure why they'd cut 'Heroes' short due to the WGA strike. What's to write about? An AI could probably manage the task.

Does anyone care about *any* of the characters in this series? Have any of them developed an iota since the premiere, in a way that the audience should care? The only one I can think of is freakin' Sylar!

'The 4400' handled this premise much, much better.

IAWTP....

Except that I got the feeling we're back to 'Save the cheerleader, save the world...' IMHO

Save the cheerleader's dad, save the world.

Fanboy logic at its best: if you don't want to post glowing praise of Heroes, you're not supposed to post at all. Laughable.

There was, it seemed, no desire on the part of the poster to even discuss something, but on the off chance they were sincere in wanting to discuss it, I addressed their primary issue with the show, which you wrote off as..

Indicating you are little more than a troll who just wants to complain, not discuss the show, so why bother? At least the poster I responded to gave something resembling a legitimate beef with the show, you however just resort to name calling and ignoring things.

He had his face turned, we didn't see how young her was in the photo.

Um he created it, this was explained in the episode. He wants to manipulate humanity to the benefit of the mutants.

Good episode but the repetitive nature of the arcs is stupid. Stop a future disaster again, save the cheerleader save the worlds again.

When two major characters are time travelers, that's gonna likely be at least a minor subplot, tho the degree of the disaster is questionable. Unless Peter & Hiro are prevented from traveling in time, this will happen.

As far as save the cheerleader, I suspect they'll find out she can't help.
