I thought Linderman's death was especially gruesome. Nothing like a good fist to the brain.

And right now I'm kind of half expecting the bomb to still go off. I just see that as being Tim Krieg's style heh.

Anyone think there is still a possibility Linderman is alive? I know it's remote, but his powers did have something to with healing. Anyone know the details of this heroes: origins thing in the summer? Are these 6 full episodes? If so that is one of the coolest things a tv show has done in a while.

The only thing I was kind of curious about that they never really explained was what Hiro's Dad's power was. Clearly all these old timers (Linderman, Patrelli's mother etc) know eachother somehow. It sounds like they were in some kind of super hero league that went defunct. Hopefully in season 2 we get more about this and their powers.

Apparently it's being advertised as a "Paranormal Survivor" whereas each of the 6 episodes will introduce a different hero. At the end of the show, viewers are to log onto NBC.com and vote for them. The hero with the highest vote will be integrated as a main character in the next season. Interesting gimmick to say the least.

Just saw the finale... don't want to give away any spoilers just yet. A bit anti-climactic I must say... the big showdown that is...

"You look bad ass" - LMAO!

Ugh, you can say that again. I cant believe how disappointing that was. In prep for the final I went back and re-watched every episode and am shocked how slow, cliche and unimaginative the final ended up being.

After all that Sylar just stands there and gets stabbed? Weak. I think I'd rather that the bomb did go off so we could follow the events that lead up to the future episode.

Ozy_Flame · 05-21-2007, 11:10 PM

Sylar got away, as the final New York scene indicated. I'm pretty sure the producers thought it was anti-climactic themselves if that was the end of Sylar. Besides, who doesn't want to see him acquire more powers and get stronger? Hell, he didn't even get a chance to use his liquifying metal power!

The Hiro ending was really bizarre though. Me thinks it will lead into Heroes: Origins, and show how time travel began in Hiro's family - obviously his Dad has a power, if not the same one as Hiro's.

HelloHockeyFans · 05-21-2007, 11:13 PM

Who's this other hero who Molly was saying was even worse than Sylar?

kermitology · 05-21-2007, 11:25 PM

Yeah, that was surprisingly disappointing for the finale.. Origins should be interesting, but that still doesn't change the fact that all the hype for this week ended in a puff of smoke

Huh? Did I miss something, or just interpret things different than you. From my perspective, I'm pretty sure he was dead and isn't coming back. As for the ending, I liked it. It wasn't epic by any means, but it got the job done and wasn't too predictable.

At the very end in NY that path of blood to the open sewer was, presumably, left by Sylar.

NuclearFart · 05-21-2007, 11:43 PM

Yeah I agree the ending was little soft. I was hopping more of the "heroes" would get involved in the final fight with Sylar than just 4 (and Parkman didn't really count) and maybe he could have killed a few in the process.

And why did Peter need Nathan to fly him away? Couldn't he have just done that himself?

This heroes origins thing could be interesting. I wonder if Hiro makes some medieval babies who go on to become his ancestors thus passing his power on down to himself in some sort of Incestuous infinite loop.

Thank god I wasn't the only one who thought this. I also think NY isn't safe, I mean all of Isack's other paintings came true, why not this one?

Yawn... but the story continues... although the samuri teaser isn't really grabbing me.

Maybe Sylar was saved by a underground group of mole people. In all seriousness, I dig the vilanry that is Sylar. He's kinda what made the show adictive for me. How were they going to stop him? It was more about him than the bomb for me.

Here's to an summer filled with Big Brother to fill the void of Heroes.

The Yen Man · 05-21-2007, 11:54 PM

What I don't get is, how can Sylar possibly either a.) escape through the sewers or b.) have his body dragged into the sewer without anyone possibly noticing? How do they not make sure he's for sure dead? If anything, Bennett should have shot him a few times in the head or something to make sure. Were they all so choked up with emotion over the two brother's sacrifice that they didn't really pay attention to Sylar anymore? I dunno, I just found that part stupid.

If they wanted to keep Sylar alive, there are many better ways that could have been executed imo. And another gripe I had was the way Hiro stabbed him. Lets see, Sylar saw him a mile away, had time to sneer and go "you!" and still couldn't react in time? I mean, it would have been way more believable (and not to mention way cooler) if Hiro all of a sudden appeared between Sylar and Peter and stabbed him before he noticed anything.

JiriHrdina · 05-22-2007, 12:10 AM

I enjoyed the episode up until the climax which definately had a high meh quotient. I suppose the argument is that Peter couldn't fly away himself because he wasn't in control of his powers? I dunno. Regardless there needed to be an answer to that question.

TurnedTheCorner · 05-22-2007, 12:13 AM

Sylar could see the future - I surmise he knew he would survive the confrontation, and was only trying to cause Peter to destroy the city. But yeah - I didn't like his "escape" either. Look out! He's very slowly crawling away into the sewer! If only there was an obvious bloody trail we could somehow follow to find him!

Beyond that, the show delivered IMO.

Ozy_Flame · 05-22-2007, 12:18 AM

Something funny too about Sylar being able to stop a 3-ton SWAT van at full speed, yet not able to subdue nerdy Hero wielding a sword that's far too big for him lol.....

TurnedTheCorner · 05-22-2007, 12:26 AM

He chose not to stop Hiro, as he knew he would survive the attack anyway, methinks.

At the point where he starts to go all glowy and Nathan shows up, I could swear I heard Peter say he'd absorbed all of Sylar's powers and as a result couldn't control them as there were too many of them for him to isolate.

As for the ending, is anyone else sad that it looks like Peter won't be back next year? He was my favourite Hero, aside from Hiro, and it sucks that he's (apparently) deader than Sylar. Not that I'll really be missing Nathan - much as I like Adrian Pasdar he never really became a character that I either loved or hated enough to care to see more of.

Altho if Sylar survived, who else is there that can stop him? Peter seemed to be the only one to have a chance at it, unless the flashes in his eyes that we saw before he "died" were of the powers he lost when Peter absorbed them somehow (I'm reaching here, I know). It was rather poetic tho to have the roach climbing over the sewer lid at the end of the show....
