Heh, I clicked this thinking it was about the alternate Earth Franklin Richards created :D
The one thing I'll miss about this show the most is not having live threads (especially with Hickman) on the official CoH forum's CH/VC section. Those were some of the most fun I had related to CoH outside of the game.
I know HRG has no powers but how did he walk away from that explosion with only a few scratches?
Ugh, any hope i had that they might've learned something from their mistakes was trashed by the pilot.It felt like it might have been stronger without the Tokyo thread.
Yeah, and how did Claire died from the explosion when she CAN'T DIE???????
Yeah the tokyo thread was just ridiculous, and leads one to think they still haven't settled on a metaphysics of the powers. But given that the original series had what seemed like 15 abandoned explanations, maybe there's still room for improvement.Spoiler for Hidden:
I'm not thrilled the Haitian was killed though. I really liked him and what he did.
Me too. :(
I suspect the previous series characters we've seen come to bad ends are actors who couldn't commit to a full new series. Or maybe some of their characters weren't all that popular before.
Like a lot of people, I'm a little hesitant with the gaming storyline, but who knows maybe they'll have something interesting there. But yeah, that seems to be the weakest storyline so far.
I don't understand why a lot of people don't like Katana Girl's storyline. To me personally I like it. I don't mind teleporting inside of a video game. Not drawing the sword but, like Sword Art Online stuff if you know what I'm talking about. I would LOVE to be inside City of Heroes!!!!!!!!!!! ;D
It's not that I don't like the story, it's just what the hell kind of power is that supposed to be? So you have a kid that can teleport things, people that can fly, people who can read minds, and a girl who can enter a video game (which evidently maps up with the real world) but only if she pulls her father's sword that she never saw before, oh and it also gives her sword mastery and martial arts mastery even when it's sheathed. One of these things is not like the other.

Its this stuff that makes me think that its not her powers that are putting her in the game world. Its her fathers (the "programmer" of the game, the guys who's picture was on the back of the book gamer guy gave her.). I don't think her father is Hiro.
If she has powers I think its the physical abilities. My take on it is that going into and out of the game world I think comes from the sword which would come from her father. He's the one with the ability to go into the game world and someone learned how to harness that (his kidnappers). The sword is a conduit/by product of his power not hers Which would also explain why the game world is based on Tokyo. He might have made a copy of the real world in the virtual one. Which could explain how she can appear in the real world location by going through the virtual route.
Or the other theory in my head, she's not real. She /is/ Katana Girl from the game taken out of the game by her "father" as a back up plan in case something like this kidnapping happened. That might be why she's rumored in the game but no one has ever seen her before beyond art and guide books

Spoiler for Hidden:
Since Molly killed herself we can't find out how Claire died! Now I'm frustrated! >:( I hope Hiro will tell Noah what happen. He's the only person alive who knows about June 13.
[I think that's the spoiler if not then, I don't know.]
Spoiler for Hidden:
How are the Evos are going to stop a Solar Flare from destroying the earth?
Have you not been watching the girl in the arctic? She's been playing with auroras since the beginning. Auroras are very weak responses to solar flares. The lady she's with tells her she's, like, The Chosen One (cue Bard's Tale music).

I saw what she can do but, she can do more than just playing with the Auroras. I think she has God-like powers.
I didn't say she couldn't do anything else, it's just her butterfly-thawing powers don't have anything to do with solar flares. You asked about solar flares. I gave a response about solar flares. The arctic girl plays with auroras with seemingly no effort, thus she probably can maybe...divert? diminish? destroy?...a more deadly solar flare if she uses more power.And just because we're talking about solar flares:
Also how in hell do you remember all their names?By viewing the episodes at normal speed.
Carlos goes completely Tony Stark out of nowhere.
it might just be me.. but i find the whole show to be very boring an uninteresting so far..
I never remembered any of their names while watching the original series at normal speed (with the exception of the main characters). Then again there are people I've spoken to weekly for years without remembering their name so maybe it's just me. But seriously some of the ones Mandu remembered have barely had their names mentioned.
So Renautes trapped Hiro inside Evernow and Miko aka Katana Girl was the only person to save him. So I'm guessing it's confirmed that she really is Hiro's daughter? However, they was saying that Miko didn't exist? She was just a program?? Quentin's sister went crazy on everybody with her Umbralkinesis aka Darkness Control! I didn't like that she killed him though....... and I was right when Hiro took Noah back to June 13 to see what happen. But, I have a series of questions what they're going to do next. Are they going to save Claire? Is Claire is going to make a special appearance even though Hayden isn't coming back? Is it going to be a different actress to replace her?? How are they going to change history when Hiro warned Naoh that it's dangerous to do it???????? How do you kill Harris without him cloning himself? He's starting to be very annoying.
Forget the past, save the future??
I still want to know when Parkman shows up.
And I did like seeing Peter and Nathan's mom for next week.
Loved that the address for the fortress to hold the master of time and space was 88 Hill Valley Rd. It made me exclaim "Great Scott!"Ha! I missed that one!
She had no reason to live after Anakin broke her heart.
I had to watch that episode twice to understand. Yes that is total B.S. that Claire died from child birth but, I just figure out who the twins are.Spoiler for Hidden:
Seems to me they are in a closed time loop.
Everything that they did in the past just set up the future they are from.Spoiler for Hidden:
Claire isn't dead though. There was just something in that room suppressing her power. It was most likely shadow girl. This is obvious because when Hiro tried to beam himself and Noah out of the room they just faded in and out but weren't able to actually time travel. I suppose this is one example of the idiot ball so far this series. The moment they couldn't teleport Noah should have figured out that power suppression was going on and taken Claire out of the room. I suppose it's possible he did and they just haven't shown it yet.
Well, now we know how Claire could have died; unfortunately for her, nothing could have been done. And I finally have an answer to what the deal is with that briefcase full of pennies:A silly gimmick.Spoiler for Hidden:
Isn't the exchange rate one penny for ALL your thoughts?Nah. I'm a generous tipper. :)
If somebody made me that offer, I would have to give him change back.
HOLY COW THAT WAS A GOOD EPISODE LAST NIGHT!!! So Nathan can absorb/siphon people's powers but, can only absorb one power at a time. He absorbed Claire's powers during birth [which explains Claire's death.] Then, he absorbed Hiro's powers while he teleported him back in 1999 to mature faster. [Which also explains how he got the teleporting power.] When Angela said that he's a Petrelli I think he probably got that trait from Peter. I think I know who is the father of the twins: "this is just a theory"Spoiler for Hidden:
Its a combination of Peter's new power and Arthur's. Arthur actually took people's powers away and Peter could only hold one power at a time after he regained them from the serum.
It's possible Nathan could time travel also and just doesn't know it.
I think he does time travel because didn't Nathan send Noah back to the future? Or am I mis-remembering?
Was out of town this weekend so just watched this.Spoiler for Hidden:
Spoiler for Hidden:
I think that once the kid takes your power it is gone. kaput. You never get it back. So, that means Hiro is no hero no more.
Wow. Parkman. What a dick.
Yeah. I don't know why Matt went bad...maybe Renautis convinced him to act like that. And how the hell Matt is a "Director" in a mental hospital where Evos are captured and controlled/manipulated when Matt is a Evo himself? How is Renautis using Micha? I thought he escaped along with the other Hero Truthers. I'm glad to see The Haitian back. How did Miko ended up in the future?
Well. Parkman is still a dick.
Too bad its a short series. I'd like to find out how he became such a douche.
Spoiler for Hidden:
Somebody needs to kill Matt Parkman now I can't stand him anymore.
Has it been proven that teleporting is his main power, or is that just a Necessary Secondary Mutation to support his photobombing ability?
Somebody needs to kill Matt Parkman now I can't stand him anymore.
On that note, someone needs to kill the whole show...
Gah! It's like they took everything great about the original and purposefully left every bit of it out, and took everything bad and made sure to heap extra mounds of it all over the show like syrup on a pancake...
Mmmmm... pancakes. Bye.
This new Heroes show blows.. It disgraces the memory of the original.
The 'charm' if you will of the first show was the heroes were a small group and low profile. This one has like every other person an Evo and with world wide exposure and the evil person trying to kill all of them - it became a 2nd rate X-Men rip-off.
i thought the original was awful too, though the first season was deceiving because you at least felt like it was leading somewhere. now we're not going to fall for that again, but this one doesn't strike me as any worse than the original.
phoebe is really starting to bother me. where in the going goth handbook does it say to stop washing your hair?
It should have gone somewhere. Unfortunately, Sylar was so great that they couldn't kill the character, so they had to wuss-out the ending.
And then there was the writer strike that shortened the other good season, so that ending was a wuss-out too.
And Sylar got so popular they felt they had to make him a "good-guy," thus completely destroying what most people enjoyed most about the character...
etc.
Well 2 more episodes and it'll be put out of its misery for good. or until the next time nbc forgets.
Poor Matt. :-\
I feel SO bad for him. ;D
Finale is going up against the Legends of Tomorrow premiere. Will be interested to see just how badly that goes for HR.
YEESSS Matt Parkman is going to die YEESSS!!! We finally get to see Erika's background but, I still don't have sympathy for her. Nathan [master of time & space] trapped inside Evernow again...so I guess Ren is going to play the game to free him. Where was Noah at the whole time? And finally Luke killed his wife.
I have a bad feeling Matt will survive, even though he really deserves it.
They are leaving a lot for the last episode to wrap up.
I just hope someone gets Phoebe before this is all over. Hate her as much as Parkman.
Well that's finally over.
Who was their father anyway? I'm assuming it was also someone with powers.
andSpoiler for Hidden:
What's up with Quentin being arrested? He didn't do anything.
They also left open Parkman's fate.
Also was that lady in the future wiped out or stranded when the future was changed?
I am hoping stranded as that would be worse IMO.
I am going to say stranded.
However, I did have ONE major problem with the ending. Instead of Noah sacrficing himself, and the woman being left in the future, they should have popped her in-between the two kids and used her as the focal-point.
But, I understand the way it was written. More emotional story.
kind of weird setting up a next chapter in a cancelled show. maybe kring thinks one of the online outlets will pick it up.
Yes, true. But I just go along for the ride and I enjoyed it. I watch Legends of Tomorrow and enjoy that even though its a mess too.
