When Peter broke into adam room, It sounded like peter said the guy look good being around for 400 years. or somethen like that. I sworn heard the number 400. Did anyone else hear peter say 400?

i found the line peter said " For 400 years, you've held up pretty well"

I thought he said 40.

I thought he said 400.

Here are my problems with Heroes as it is right now,
1. Too many crappy episodes, why the hell do I want to watch an episode that is backpedaling through the months...Sure it's cool to find out what happened to Peter but come on?
2. D.L. can phase shift through a house, through a punch, but he can't phase through a freaking bullet. Dude you have a cool power, you can freaking phase through a person and rip his heart out.
3. Adam/Kensei, he cannot time travel, he just can live forever. If he can use his blood to heal, does that mean Claire can do the same? And is he still out to kill/destroy Hiro? Could it have been Adam/Kensei that killed Sulu?
4. WHAT THE HELL IS ANGELA PETRELLI'S POWER?

1. builds up to Peter + Adams relationship, bonus kristin bell scenes

2. DL was the expendable black dude. Like the guys in the red shirts on the original Star Trek episodes. There's an unwritten rule that if the show is not on BET/UPN/WB or is a black "sitcom", you can only have at most 1 black character. Haitian's in, DL's out.

3. Maybe. He could be related to Claire. Maybe he still has it in for Hiro. Maybe he killed Sulu. I guess you're going to have to watch to show to find out.

4. What are wasps known for?

This is kind of old but I just thought about this. What did Claire do with her toe? Would it ever die? If Adam's blood has power of heeling outside of his body, that would mean that her toe should never decay. Did she throw it in the trash and the toe grew another Claire around it? Will there be a duel between the Claires to decide who the real one is? :)

Maybe Hiro is actually the one who kills his father. :shocked:


Preview says "A son tries to save his father". Unless he "saves" him by killing him, I'm guessing it's someone else.

That was a lame episode. Feel bad because everytime I think the next episode is going to be good, I try to convince my wife to watch it with me and it results in a terrible episode. Last season, it was a bunch of Nikki drawn out episodes. Last night, it is a waste of minutes on Nikki and the twins. Not surprising, my wife thought the episode was bad also. Can anyone explain to me how Peter and Nathan's mom helped the Haitian? And how did the Haitian get to come back to the company? And if Adam is so dangerous, why didn't the Haitian wipe out his memory?

Heres why you think the episode sucked:

Cause you obliviously werent paying attention. You must have missed the part where Adam said that being able to heal you can heal your brain which will make you remember stuff.

You know what I hate, how wimpy Peter is now. He's not a weakling.

ANother thing, I hate this jumping around shit. Stick with the storyline. Use flashbacks, but don't dedicate a whole episode to it. I love the show, but its not reaching its potential.

Sweet start to the episode. Nathan saves Peter and then Peter saves Nathan, and we get to see where Nathans other face came from.


And DL lived from the bullet? That's got to be an interesting story.

Holy crap, the mexican chick killed all of them.


And electo babe is working for Bob and not Adam... looking like a good episode only 5 minutes in to it.

I've got one concern here, and it's with the Haitian. Does he have any control over whose power he can block? I mean, we see Peter in the room with Elle, he has no power but she can still zap him. Also, Peter would have absorbed this power and should in turn be blocking the powers of others (assuming iut's not controlled).

Now this brings me to another problem...

Peter can never be killed? Where's the challenge in this? No other "hero" can put up a fight against him because he'll do any number of things, such as a combination of the following:

1. Absorb their power.
2. Block their power.
3. Regenerate/heal when wounded.
4. ...
5. PROFIT!?

Also, would the "virus" technically kill Peter peter, since he can both heal and is immortal? The blood of Adam repairs damage, would it be enough to fight off this virus?

Judging from what we've seen, he must actively use his ability to block anothers.

Sure he can, Claire was.

2. Block their power.

5. PROFIT!?

By definition of his power and those he has absorbed to this point, it would be extremely difficult to face him directly, which would be expected.

Also, would the "virus" technically kill Peter peter, since he can both heal and is immortal? The blood of Adam repairs damage, would it be enough to fight off this virus?

In the alternate timeline it was said to have killed him, so I'm going with yes.

I read part of the comic on the website and it said that he had accidentally blocked his fathers powers when he was young. Maybe he just didn't have control then.

But she came back to life.

I'm not too sure about that. He was reported dead, but I don't recall them saying it was because of the virus. It would have been because of his disappearance when he went nuclear, since his family couldn't tell them what really happened. It was his brother that died due to the virus.

only because the stick in her brain was removed. If it hadn't, in theory she'd be "dead." We saw the same thing with glass in Peter's head. He might not be able to be killed, but he can be stopped.

On a similar note, if claire doesn't age from when she gained her powers.... hot damn :)

The thing with Peter/Claire/Adam-Kensei's powers is, it looks like anything being, kinda lodged in their brain, takes them down, but as soon as it's removed the brain heals and bam they're alive again.

Just watched that ep, I feel 100% compelled to make an SNL Dear Sister spoof with a twist, NEDM instead of Imogen Heap :laugh:

One thing I'm curious about... it seems there were almost two camps of people in Season 1... yet there weren't. Bob expressed in season 2 that Linderman was "off his rocker" and was essentially a pupil of Adam. So this would show a bit of disjunct with them. Yet it's not too clear (if I remember correctly) what Bob was doing in season 1 ( I can't recall a scene with him in it, but I believe there were some? ) So from what it sounds like, some of the people didn't agree with the radical ideas of blowing up a city to save a world.

So this almost creates two camps... Adam, Mama Petrelli, Linderman and (maybe?) Papa Hiro. Not too sure on the last one, but he seems to have some ties with Mama Petrelli which makes me think that he's with them. Now, we know why Adam would want to kill Sulu... that was shown in the Hiro Does Feudal Japan episodes. But why would Adam want to kill Mama Petrelli if she was part of the Linderman plot?

All of a sudden, the idea of wookies on Endor is becoming much more plausible :p.

The original people in the company all agreed to imprison him. He wanted revenge.

or season 2 must be season as an almost completely separate entity since hiro went into the past and changed everything! THERE IS A RIP IN THE SPACE/TIME CONTINUUM.
