Before the show get to it I'm guessing Sylar's power is eating others brains to gain their power.

hmm, since the earlier episodes were showing the brain-less victims of sylar, you had to assume he was doing something to their brain. Eating it though? That's a bit of a stretch /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Although they didn't explictly show what he does with the brains, I'm guessing from this last episode that he just has the ability to understand how stuff works, and through that can gain the victim's special ability.

I beleive you are 100% correct.

Now the fun thing would be to see what would happen if Sylar had the Cheerleader's power and the Walking A-Bomb's.

Oh and I'm guessing the Nuke in NY is the Walking A-Bomb. The picture of the orange guy + what is said in next weeks preview sort of confirms it.

 

I wished Hiro could've saved the girl from the diner /versus/images/graemlins/tear.gif

 

So...Heroes is on tonight and I'm looking forward to it but not for all really good reasons. I think the shows concept of time is broken. The "six months ago" episode had some pretty glaring problems that I don't think can be fixed but I'm hoping the coming episode does.

The latest episode was pretty nuts. As I see it, a minor character "dies."

I feel the same way whenever I see anyone talk about VF advantage situations....its a fun show and it is always fun to discuss something you enjoy.

I believe Skylar was simply biding his time. He probably knew that he could use his powers to get out, he just waited until it suited him best.
What I think is that peter causes the explosion. I think Skylor COULD, but Skylor, being both more powerful and mentally stable, is able to control himself. Peter is not. I also believe that Peter absorbs the power on a limited basis, meaning that he does not get that other persons power forever, but only when he is around the other person and for a short period afterwards. The "I'm Sorry" was just for him getting involved in all that shit and being on the bad end of a police interrogation.

Is anybody else dissapointed with story line between psycho-bitch and pass-through me black man? THe fact that their kid has powers is the only interesting aspect of any of it.

 

Sylars room is plastic, dumbass cute bitch brings in metal gun to kill him.

Hence Sylar uses the gun to bring her thru the glass...bang dumbass cute bitch is dead

 

O concure...it was interesting, now its just redundant time filler. A shame...since Jessica was one of the more interesting heroes at first.

 

I've never cared for the Nikki/Jessica plotline and could do with it being exised altogether. I can't imagine her role being anything beyond "fleshing out the plot".

The biggest problem I have right now is the distinct lack of normal people (and that they've broken time already). How is anyone special if every other person introduced into the show is paranormal? I'm waiting for the FBI chick to suddenly manifest powers, that would fit right in at the moment.

Ando and Hiro continue to carry the show for me. Ando is tres cool.

Since when was Sylar's telekinetic ability limited to metallic objects?

Or was it simply the fact that she had an object, any object, in her hand that allowed him to pull it, and hence her, through the glass.

It isn't limited to just metal. After absorbing the TK power from his victim Sylar appears in Suresh's room and moves a water glass. Personally, I think the writers messed up or just shrugged and realized they'd painted themselves into a corner and needed to free Sylar: this seemed "okay" as far as breaking plot logic. If it was the addition of an "object" then the lights on the walls, glasses, clipboard, sink and toilet in the same room with Sylar would have sufficed.

you can argue that the Haitian was the only factor in dampening Sylar's powers but if that's the case then why leave him alive/awake when the Haitian is needed elsewhere. Moreover, why didn't Eden's power of suggestion work? There are some "convenient" breakages of plot logic through and through the show that add up to pretty sloppy writing which is too bad. Likely one of the problems with having one person create the show but only actually write 3 or 4 episodes.

Interesting thing about Sylar is that he survived the same fall Peter did but without the apparent ability to "mimic" the powers of others. There are 8 people confirmed killed by Sylar but only a few we actually know anything about so it could be reasoned that he gained an ability from one of his previous kills but it seems like another error to me.

I thought his original power was being able to "figure out how things work" hence with all the pocket watches etc etc. Isnt it just possible he figured out what was stopping him using his powers in that room?

Well, we only have Sylar's assertion that he has a knack for understanding how things work and he's insane. Also, the fact that he has been working on one particular watch for 7 years seems to refute that premise. /versus/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I don't mind the explanation except that you can't have it two ways. If the room prevents him from using his powers how does he use his powers to stop the room from using his powers?

Sloppy writing.

Guys, loads of explanations to these things are on the actual forum of the show. Or atleast attempts at it. So maybe check those out instead of thinking about it and writing for weeks.

Example; "Moreover, why didn't Eden's power of suggestion work?"

Maybe it did work, but he didn't get a chance to do it. She said "I'm going to put this gun into the slot and you're going to blow your brains out" but since she never had the time to put it into the slot, he ofc couldn't comply with her suggestion even if he wanted to. She was interrupted. He held for her throat after pulling her inside so she couldn't say something more. Besides, he said that the gun couldn't hurt him so maybe it would've been impossible in the first place to do what she asked from him which lead to it being overridden.

Wow, Kiwe....you're right. Better by far to go to a site and read what others think than have a thought of my own. That was a close one.

VFDC is one of two forums I actually visit. Personally speaking, I don't think I'll add this one to my list if the example you've provided is any indication of the substance to be found there.
