Heroes (Season One)

I never thought of anyone as being a hero. When society lables people and puts a responsability on them that most of the time is never asked for, it becomes a responsiblity that noone can fill.

With that said, with very little thought I will say MalcomX or JFK. Both stood firm with there educated beliefs for the better of man kind.

Yeah, I guess that sounds good enough.

My dad said once that MalcomeX was an attention getting media whore.

He went into this long explanation as he always does, because he is not intelligent enough to summerize anything.

Man, that's when I lost all total respect for the overbaring, affraid to be questioned idiot.

Ummm...What?

Thank you for your personal take on heroes. Now what do you think about Heroes?

Hey, something that i just remembered and you might find interesting. Remember when Peter had that vision in (i think?) that episode with the Haitian when he finally talks... and Peter has the vision of exploding and His brother turning into Sylar saying something like you don't know what power is or something?

Geed memory iCEdTenG
It goes to show that Tim Kring and the writes had a plan all along.

Man, I can't believe there are only two episodes left.
Last nights episode made me wonder if Hiro will become Future Hiro. He says he doesn;t want to become him but it seems he will have to if he wants to be "strong" enough to kill Syler.
I think it really sucks that the sword is broken. We had so much build up to Hiro getting that thing.
Maybe he will have to go back to the past to have it fixed and then train? I don't know.

He's a time traveler, he can go to any point and take the sword. He could also have Ted fuse it back together.

I don't think Sylar is going to kill Nathan. He's too important to the second timeline.

Now, what does everyone think of the pre-planned "destinies" of the heroes? It looks like everyone associated with Linderman genetically bred their own children to play certain roles. Nathan was bred by his mother and father to be the President from birth it seems. Sort of like a Manchurian candidate. The same way Micah was bred from DL and Nikki.

Hiro looks like he was bred from the association of Hiro's dad (Sulu) and someone else. I wonder if Hiro's father has any abilities, or his sister for that matter.

I wonder if Peter was planned too, or if he was something of a wild card that the Linderman group wasn't counting on.

...I'm out on a limb here... But Hiro has to go back into the past to become the hero his father told him about, and that he admires so much.. The original owner of the sword...

Yeah, I think that's a long shot.

Here's a wiki page on the Kensei sword in literature.

en.wikipedia.org...

...Tell me...

I can't get Wiki where I am...(Over the rainbow..) Haw!

In ancient Japan, a kensei (剣聖; sometimes alternatively rendered in English as Kensai, Ken Sai, Kansei, or Kenshei) was a honorary title given to a warrior of legendary skill in swordsmanship. The literal translation of "kensei" is "sword saint". Thus, the term is considered by some to imply a higher degree of perfection (possibly also encompassing a moral dimension) than the more commonly used kengō (剣豪) or "great sword."

Among the most famous kensei is Miyamoto Musashi (宮本武蔵), although not all would apply the term to him. Other historical kensei are often the founder of a popular school of swordsmanship. Although there is no such written rule, the title carries such prestige that it is commonly understood that there should be no more than one kensei at any given time.

It seems like a stretch to send Hiro back in time to be Kensei. There's already enough going on in the storyline.

Man you said it. There's so much going on that it's like spaghetti. How do they wrap up everything when each show seems to open a new mystery.

For one thing what about the Mother, Mrs Petrelli who says to Nathan 'You don't know me'?

What about the scar, the Nikki/Jessica thing, and on and on.

I mean it's a fun and compelling show but they just keep going off on tangents. I can't imagine how they can wrap it up in two eps unless they just make a real mess of everything and leave a gazillion loose ends?

As much as I hate Sylar I don't want him dead. He makes the show interesting. And even if he was killed all it would take is Hiro to go back to the past and make a mistake and Sylar's back. Time travel is very tricky and one little thing changed in the past can change the whole future drastically. I think Hiro needs to find the time in the past when this all started and Sylar was just a clock maker and kill him before he gets his powers. What you think Umbrax.

There are two episodes left to the season. Tim Kring says that this is the end of Volume One. Volume Two (Season 2) will be a new story with new characters.
Who knows if Hiro or Syler show up in Volume Two.
No one is safe. Anything can happen. The Heroes may even fail and NYC still blows up.

Nope, it's gotta have a happy ending. Those are the rules of Network TV, especially NBC, and especially when it comes to blowing up NYC. The city will be saved, Sylar will be dead, but for all we know, putting Nathan in office will end up as bad, or worse for mankind. Especially when the Linderman group bred him to be their candidate.

here a preview for "Landslide" 1x22 !!



Enjoy !!

I've read that some heroes will die in the next two episodes. I've also read that next season is going to be a global threat of some sort.


With regards to this being network tv and happy endings are a must, please watch season 1 of 24. No happy ending there.

Wow they are out early this week. Normally those sneak peeks don't hit the web 'till Thursday.

Thanks for that video Alpha Grey. I'm glad they have Malcom McDowell playing Mr. Linderman. He is the perfect person for his character. Just like in Star Trek he plays that good bad guy character that's trying to do good for mankind but in a bad way. Nathan is really creeping me out to. He's doing all this to get elected and only thinking for himself. Don't know what's gonna happen but we'll all see in the next few episodes.

No problemo !! glad to be of help !! for we NEED our Heroes fix !!

More Spoilers Anyone?

Haven't read the whole thread but...

Has anyone else put 2 and 2 together and realized that Bennett and co are in NYC to kill that little girl, they just don't know it yet? She is the tracking system (at least I think she is).
