jeff_536 3 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I had an idea about this whole eclipse thing in this week's episode. It seems that an eclipse takes away everyone's powers (temporarily, I assume). Eventually they'll all get their powers back.But I was thinking, this might be the way the writers can reset the powers that Peter, Gabriel and Arthur have. Maybe when the eclipse is over they keep their original power (which allows them to take the powers of others), but they lose all those that they've accumulated.Just a thought. Would be a good way to keep better control over what exactly each of them can do. Link to post Share on other sites

El Guapo 8 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Okay so I finally got some time to catch up on the last 2 weeks episodes. I thought they were both pretty good. Although the flashback episode was not all that action packed it filled in a lot of gaps.I am guessing Sylar had a kid with the blond chick? It is very hard to remember back to all the nuances of flashbacks and forwards, but they are getting better this year than last. Link to post Share on other sites

But it seems unlikely that exact future will ever come to be. It rarely does. Link to post Share on other sites

rocketpoker828 0 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 So how many futures are there not going to be now?Seriously, how do the writers even keep track off this?Remember in Season 1 when they go to Future Hiro's apartment with all the strings representing timelines? I imagine it's like that. Link to post Share on other sites
jeff_536 3 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 and every new act and decision slightly alters the timeline. Especially when something different is done that was done the first time.I actually hate time travel in shows. Makes things way confusing and usually opens more questions than it answers.

Yeah, I said it.You're not the only one who has said that in this thread.I liked this week's episode, but I feel the same way. I think the only reason I'm still watching is to find out what happens at the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites

Moneyball16 0 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Meh I still think Season 3 is a million times better than Season 2 and I think that those people considering quitting the show would have quit some time during Season 2. Link to post Share on other sites

Jadaki 0 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Article about the writing on HeroesBasically Kring saying that because people liked some of the characters so much in season 1, they didn't know what to do. Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting article though. But I don't think I like this idea that they won't have powers anymore. Why should I watch then? Link to post Share on other sites

But I don't think I like this idea that they won't have powers anymore. Why should I watch then?That's not the way i took the word 'normal' from that article.Why, in fact, would they be fugitives if they didn't have powers. I'm looking at it like they're being hunted and have to live in shadows rather than, as he said, being superheroes.Same with the comment about Peter. I envision his 'norma' being a guy with a few powers, not everything under the sun.I loved the part about time travel making his head explode and if he could go back, he'd avoid it. Exactly what I posted only a couple days ago, if I recall. Also about Peter being too powerful, a bad decision that came back to haunt him. Link to post Share on other sites

Being underground and hunted isn't normal in any other sense. Link to post Share on other sites

But if they have powers, it doesn't wipe anything clean. Unless they do like I was expecting and have all the powers start over from the beginning, which I think is the best option. Because then this time around, Peter's powers would end up being different, since people have died, etc, and new ones will come along. I guess we'll see. Link to post Share on other sites

A chance to start clean with the 'super power' guys. Maybe even put some limits on their powers. Link to post Share on other sites

byaaatch 0 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Interesting article its like he is trying to pass the blame onto others with saying last season sucked. Also found it funny the way he was talking about time travel being a hard. It was like he had all the excuses as to why the show hasn't lived up to expectations. For me I really hope they do get rid of a couple of characters. Elle irritates the crap out of me and also hope Nikki gets killed off finally. Link to post Share on other sites

At least the split personality shit is gone and she doesn't go around acting retarded. Link to post Share on other sites

pokerinc 0 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 so true, elles a different character every week, I'm hoping she's the blond glasses is holding in that photo.also, look for the show to improve as the creator of pushing daises and a writer from season 1 comes back to fix the damage.
