The Hard Part (121)

[JayShadow]

IT's not about the episode being slow. I don't midn slow episodes. Hell, 6 Months Ago is relatively slow and it's one of my favourites, as is Company Man. It jsut felt... I dunno, like they're watching the clock ad saying "not yet, not yet...."

It's understandable. They say that the end is basically a 3 parter and that was part 1. So in the end that entire episode was like watching 1/3 of an episode. Most of their slower episodes are self contained and have a beginning and end. All it was doing was putting the pieces in place for the last two episodes.

Speaking of episodes like Company Man, I heard they're gonna do more episodes like that next year, since they can't go nuts with cliffhangers forever.

So there is a reaosn to keep on watching. Fantastic. Thankee

This show keeps getting better and better. One of the best shows on TV.

No argument from me on either point.

Originally I thought the same thing while those middle episodes were on. That some of them were a bit slow, but this weekend I watched the whole season over again (gotta love DVRs), and found that when watching them back-2-back, they make sense and are even exciting! I would recommend doing this when the DVD comes out in August. You might have a change of heart...

I think shows like Heroes are meant to be seen in this manner... Can't wait for the DVDs!

I'm not a big Sylar fan myself... but I did like what they did with him in this episode.

Hee! I just got a phone call from Nathan Petrelli. Granted, it was a recording (and I almost hung up) but dang, that was cool! Building a brighter future for our children. Yeah, REALLY bright. And hot. And radioactive.

Funniest thing is I said months back that this exact thing would be a very cool gimmick for their interactive shtick. Glad to see someone onboard had the same idea.

I just watched again, and yes, his eye moved first... but thats because the scene shows that first before cut over to the other view... It must be said that Sylar's reaction must be absolutely lightning quick...

I was watching that whole scene again & just had a possibley disturbing thought.

The part when Ando bursts in on Hiro & Sylar then Hiro teleported them out?

From *Sylar's* point of view it may have looked like *Ando* did the teleporting, not Hiro. Which would be real bad for Ando.

Nice catch! Thats probably why he got killed in the first place? Not to mention how original Hiro was able to harden his heart to stab Sylar...

I don't think Sylar undid the timestop, I think Hiro lost control of his power because he was all emotional and angsty about killing somebody. I imagine it takes some matter of concentration to hold time still, and if your freaking out that may be sorta difficult.

I agree- and I really like that explanation, it could also show why Future!Hiro is so much more emotionally disciplined. I really like the idea that their powers aren't just there, but are reflective of emotional state (Ted being the primary example).

When Mrs. Nathan rolled home in her wheelchair was I the only one who thought that maybe

Spoiler:

Linderman may heal her to get Nathan more firmly on his side?

[garhkal]

The Petrelli family is seriously mental. I keep hoping that Nathan will come to his senses, but his mother's influence may be too strong to overcome. I think she may scare me more than Linderman..

Personally i think it is cause of Mom's precog that the company got founded in the first place.. To kull unneeded mutates from the population..

And i agree she is seriously scary. Pity she HAS to be around (for the heroes reborn timeline, to help the newborns of Clair-bear), otherwise i would LOVE somoene to behead HER!/

It's possible Hiro's fears/reservations about killing Sylar my have caused him to lose his concentration ending the time freeze.

That's my thoughts too..
