^^sounds like a plan.
I'm skeptical of the worldwide disaster scenario, from a writing standpoint. Where will they go after this, the solar system? Although, the feasibility of a viral outbreak fits nicely with what's been stewing so far. Maybe they should have just toned down the severity a bit so that each season wouldn't be "outdoing" the previous one.
Also, seems too like they're falling into last season's formula a bit. (1) Imminent disaster; (2) distaster foreseen by a witless time traveler who popped into the future; (3) steps along the way forecasted by clairvoyant paintings. Even with Isaac gone it doesn't matter cause apparently he made enough plot devices - I mean, paintings - to last this season!

My only gripe is I hope this doesnt become a constant thing. Every season someone goes into the future and sees the problem, then comes back and fixes it. But I am looking forward to how this season plays out, i'm loving it so far. 10/29/2007 11:07:22 PM |

^Yeah I agree. It's definitely my favorite show, but in both seasons, it's the same company fucking things up by thinking they're making the world a better place.
Oh, and who's this Adam Monroe guy? He was the guy whom Tobolowsky (actor) had a file on. He's also seemingly the guy who left a note for Peter on the mirror. 10/29/2007 11:44:14 PM |

They are making this season really easy to not watch. Instead of a breadth first search of the plot lines, let's try a depth first search.
Also, please kill off all the annoying characters. 10/30/2007 1:32:57 AM |

I have been watching since end of season one and I can't figure out Ali Larter's character's power. So she has the power to turn into a tremendous bitch at a moments notice? I thought most women already had that power. 10/30/2007 6:50:29 AM |

^^ She has superhuman strength, you notice it in season one with the way she manhandles an entire group of thugs and just briefly with this season as she lifts Bob up with one hand by his neck. But with the whole sister thing, I am starting to wonder if one sister has the strength as a part and the other has the ability to channel the dead. 10/30/2007 7:56:25 AM |

In case you didn't see it in the preview for next week's episode, two of the paintings shown last night occured. There was one of Peter looking through a window with a biohazard symbol on it and another of Mohinder holding what looks like either a pen or a syringe. 10/30/2007 9:41:08 AM |

nothing of that has been confirmed at this point.
however looking at the picture of the original 12 it looks as though arthur petrelli is a young, blonde man. he just has his head turned so you can't entirely make him out 100% 10/31/2007 11:48:45 AM |

Wasn't arthur petrelli in a graphic novel episode from season one with linderman? They were in 'nam, petrelli was shot, and linderman healed him. If petrelli was kensi he could have healed himself. 10/31/2007 3:33:39 PM |

don't know if this has been said yet but they have canceled Heroes: Origins. 11/2/2007 9:38:38 AM |

From wiki:
Quote : | "On October 31, 2007, reports in Variety and The Hollywood Reporter indicated that Origins had been put on hold. Suggested causes for this decision include the possibility of a strike by the Writers Guild of America, production costs, and a decline in ratings during the second season of Heroes. The show may be revisited, according to TV Guide, if the dispute with the Writer's Guild is resolved quickly. Also on October 31, 2007, The Futon Critic announced the show was put on hold indefinitely due to financial concerns." |

Haven't read the whole thread but I just read this as well on TVGuide.com:
Quote : | "Heroes' second season may be coming to a close a lot sooner than expected due to the forthcoming apocalypse, also known in some circles as the damn writers' strike.
Sources confirm that the show is going back and shooting an alternate ending to the Dec. 3 episode that, if used, would allow the episode to function as a season finale in the event of a strike. Originally, the episode was only supposed to serve as the conclusion of the current "Generations" arc. Should an 11th-hour agreement be reached and a strike averted (fingers crossed!), the alt ending would likely be scrapped.
In related news, the reality of this whole thing is only now hitting me. And I'm not happy. " |

No way, nohow. Papa Petrelli only died in the six months prior to the start of the first season, and Monroe/Kensei looked and still looks about the same age as Nathan and Peter. Unless he can also change his appearance, you'd think the Petrelli boys would notice that their dad never aged.

Yeah, but in fairness, the memories he got back weren't really important ones to the storyline. That little bit of recollection is obviously for next week.11/5/2007 10:09:33 PM |

yeah, but in all fairness, peter petrelli's actor is tied for the worst actor on the show (with suresh actor), so asking for more drama is like squeezing blood from a stone. 11/5/2007 10:14:53 PM |
