Heroes - Season Three - Page 11

post #301 of 1128

Re: Heroes - Season Three

I was a little surprised that Hiro just stabbed Ando like that, without even hesitating. There's two different possibilities for that I think. Either Ando survives on his own and that's why they ended up being enemies in the future.... or Hiro has some sort of plan. I'd like to think its the latter and not the obviously telegraphed first idea, but who knows.

Regardless, it was a pretty good episode again as far as I'm concerned. It still seems to lack just a little bit of the magic from season 1 for me, but it took me a little while to get into that as well. Even still, I do think this season is shaping up to be much better than last one and very good overall.

Almost certainly - especially in that scene where it would have simply been tedious to show "the actions" over and over (or even once, really).

It would have been funny if they pronounced HRG as "Herg". That would have made me LOL.

Re: Heroes - Season Three

I think them picking up HRG must be the Loeb influence. People called his red Hulk "Rulk" on the internet, and he started using it in interviews and in the book itself.

Then again, I think he might have actually said people were saying "Rulk" before anyone actually did, just to make it cooler.

I figure he had an idea on how to "fix" it before he even did it, I'm just disappointed we didn't see it this week. No doubt this will play a big part in them turning on each other.

What I am wondering now is; now that we know Linderman is just an illusion, how was Nathan healed?

I was quite surprised by this as well. I think it would have been better if he would have just teleported Ando out of the way and returned in the blink of an eye.

Linderman being mental manipulation by Maury makes great sense. I had been wondering how Daphne was getting those folders. Maury leaving them there and making her think that Linderman did works well.

I guess it was future Peter healing him.

The whole business with Hiro and Ando unearthing Adam still annoys me. I can't believe that Mrs. Petrelli sent them to unearth him and work on their own with him. It would have made more sense for them to just immediately bring Adam to Mrs. Petrelli. Unless it was still more of Maury's manipulations to get Adam to heal Mr. Petrelli.

Re: Heroes - Season Three

Hiro stabs Ando. Ooooookaayyyy

I hope there is more to it, otherwise, it's time for me to admit the show has become a joke and move on.

Nope, that's it - they killed a major character unceremoniously, and we will never see him again. It most likely won't be explained in a future episode, and we will be forever left wondering why

Seriously though, I'm sure it will be explained next Monday

Nathan was covered in 3rd degree burns last season from flying nuke peter out of New York. Later Peter and Adam visited him in his hospital bed, and Adam game him an injection of his blood that completely healed him instantly. I'm guessing that this is still in play here. If so, then that also makes it possible that HRG is now immune from injury, as he received a similar injection from Claire's blood that brought him back from the dead.

Hiro stabbing Ando really bothered me as well. I've been a stout supporter of this show, but that was sooooo far out of character, that it just doesn't make sense. Especially after they went through such great pains last episode to show that they made up with each other. Hiro has to have a plan in his head or else even I will admit that this show has jumped the shark. Even so, for him to just do it without explaining to Ando is really dumb.

Re: Heroes - Season Three

I strongly suspect that he did explain it to Ando, but we didn't see it. Just like they did not show all of their interaction with Adam.

Re: Heroes - Season Three

After all we've seen so far on "Heroes", people really think Ando is dead? [gob]Come on![/ gob]
post #313 of 1128

Re: Heroes - Season Three

I agree, there's more to Ando's being so unceremoniously run through by Hiro then we have seen yet.

No one commented, that I can see, that the voiceover narration at the beginning wasn't Mohinder's voice. I couldn't place it and I wonder if this means anything. I think in the past, they had other characters do the narration.

I've been keeping up with every episode, but I am a little confused as to why Claire is doing what she's doing. I'll try to figure it out.

Re: Heroes - Season Three

That was Nathan doing the V/O at the beginning. I like that other characters get to do that. I think the 'previously on Heroes' this week really summed it up well - I think the focus is coming in nicely this season.
post #315 of 1128

Re: Heroes - Season Three

I don't think the V/O at the beginning was part of the show proper, i.e. I don't think we'll see it on the DVD's.

It seemed more in line with the clip-show type summaries that are put together by the network. I think the network just ran that before the episode, and it wasn't part of the official episode. Kind of like how the network completely spoiled the ending reveal of Mr. Petrelli all week long before the episode even aired.

Re: Heroes - Season Three

Thanks Neil-

I just replayed the beginning and I could hear it was Nathan doing the V/O during the show. But the voice during the "Previously on Heroes" was new to me. Almost like Charles Aidman who did the V/O on the new 80's Twilight Zone.

Re: Heroes - Season Three

I liked that they got Nathan to do it since it was another way of saying, "Mohinder is completely whacked out right now, so no V/O from him."

Re: Heroes - Season Three

I thought that Hiro was going to do the time warp like with Adam right after he stuck Ando.

Getting healed by blood injection from Claire or Adam is a one time deal, it doesn't continue to protect you from injury. Sylar was healed this way at the end of season 2, but shortly after when he was stabbed by Claire he didn't heal until he'd acquired her power.

Huh? It was exactly the same thing as all the other opening monologues, except with Nathan instead of Mohinder.

I was joking - hence the two smilies. Implying that a statement such as yours was likely to spark debate about the stabbing incident

Perhaps some networks aired the episode without the "previously on..." that some forum members are referencing.

Holadem is correct in that the voice-over was the same as any other, different only in that Nathan delivered it.

There was also a cheesy "previously on Heroes" that Jeff is referencing (though, perhaps mis-using the term voice-over) was voiced by the typical Heroes preview guy NBC uses - it was basically a quick recap of a few of the story arcs and threads.

The VO itself will definately appear on the DVD, as it's a mainstay of the show, but that recap most likely will not.

Re: Heroes - Season Three

I'm still waiting for an explanation on Greg S H's post.

What is "Rulk" and what book? The comic? I don't follow the comic because it's too much freakin' work to follow all this crap, I just want to watch the show.

I'm completely in the dark here.

Re: Heroes - Season Three

Sorry. Jeph Loeb writes a comic book about a red version of the Incredible Hulk. He started calling it "Rulk"--ie, Red Hulk--and says that people on the internet all called it Rulk and he picked it up from them. He may be right, but it seems he started it. I'm just guessing he's the one who actually incorporated the internet HRG meme into the show.

Yes, this is exactly what I was talking about. Really stuck out like a sore thumb. Sorry, I thought this was what other people were referring to.

Wasn't he always called HRG?

Re: Heroes - Season Three

No. The show picked that up after he was called that on the internet. To my knowledge, this week's recap was the first time he's been directly called HRG by the show. They started calling him "horn-rimmed glasses" from internet chatter.

^^ I could be totally wrong about all of that, but that's my memory of it.

he was described in Season1 I beieve (could have been early in 2) as a man having Horned Rimmed Glasses) where the Internet picked it up.

Not the other way around.

Re: Heroes - Season Three

I finally watched this week's episode.

Oh man, has this really gone off the tracks.

Calling him "HRG" on the show??? Why not have Sylar wink at the camera while you are at it.

So, taking blood from the hot latina with the black tear power and you turn into a bug, complete with some mystery web ability?

Who will be the first person to tell Claire's real mother, "Ok, we get it, you can hold fire in your hands, you can stop showing us now"

Claire becoming "The Punisher" is completely out of character and makes no sense.

Why do all the company guys "Max Cherry" want to kill the heroes, including their own sons?

Which comes to my greater problem with the show, what is the actual threat we are supposed to be worried about?

End of the world?
Everyone becoming heroes?

And since everyone comes back to life at the blink of an eye, who else had any dramatic tension when Ando was stabbed?

The best part of the episode...

Little or no fat cop and the annoying Ali Larter gets killed again.
