Heroes: Part 2, The Revengeance

CyberJackalCyberJackal Registered User regular
Heroes is back! And thankfully we are now in the second season, which means no more tedious character introductions and explanations of the world's workings. Except for all the tedious introductions of new characters, that is.

The new season begins four months after the conclusion of last season, with an episode aptly titled "Four Months Later". Some new characters introduced:

Apparently there was not enough teen angst last season, so the show introduces us to West, a boy that Claire meets at her new school.

West is creepy and likes to judge people.

Mirroring current events, the show has also started taking on illegal immigrants.

Maya and Alejandro, a brother and sister pair, are making their way to America. I wonder what a pair of deadly mutants would do for the immigration debate?

Next we have a new face for "The Company", which is apparently still around despite last season's setbacks.

I didn't catch this guy's name, but I'm going to nickname him Midas.

Finally, my personal favorite, new cast member Takezo Kensei, who is... a gaijin?!?

Japanese pride hits a new low.

So, I have to confess that after letting things stew for a few months, I wasn't sure I was going to be excited about Heroes again, but this season opener really pulled me back in. Anyone else feel the same way?

    Werner Brandes.


    For some reason the guy who plays Kensei reminds me of Malcolm McDowell.

    His name is David Anders, he played Sark on Alias.

    Wait, this kid has the same power as Nathan? Thats kind of lazy.

    ...it's in the shape of a giant c**k.
  • wwtMaskwwtMask Registered User
    He appears to have the same power, but really strong telekinesis or gravity manipulation can mimic the flight power pretty easily.

    When he dies, I hope they write "Worst Affirmative Action Hire, EVER" on his grave. His corpse should be trolled.

    Don't Peter's powers work on him having to think specifically about the person who's power he's trying to mimic?

    Probably not, actually.

    In the last season Nikki learned to use the strength by herself. My interpretation is that the split personality ghosting was Jessica's power.

  • DharmaBumDharmaBum Registered User
    Really the ghosting/personality splitting is an oddly specific and generally useless power if you think about it.

    Do we have any idea what powers Nathan's Mom and Papa Hiro have/had?

  • ScooterScooter Registered User regular
    I seem to remember there being hints that Mom had a similar power to someone else, but less complicated, which was mostly taken as being future-vision without needing to paint.

    I've got it! Nathan is really Candice!

    Everyone is really Candice! All kinds of craziness possible when you've got a shape shifter on the loose.

    Anyone notice that Nathan's appearance strongly resembled Peter? I know that Peter's never had a beard, but when you were looking at Nathan, I could have picked them as brothers if I saw them down the street.

    edit:

    Dharma, Linderman used his that one episode and I think it would be silly to not use a power unless there was a significant drawback.

    Did everybody notice Ando bumping into Nathan on the street?

    Yes. Was surprised no one had mentioned it, but I figured everyone had noticed and just not bothered to post.

    Did anyone notice the speech the copy-shop jack-ass gave Noah?

    I'm pretty sure it's the exact same speech the jumpsuit-guy gave him when he was briefing him on his cover.

    I noticed it, and was immediately reminded of Anchorman. Really, though, Nathan's entire character this episode reminded me of Anchorman- the beard, the drinking, the bumping into people- clearly going into space was a bad choice.

    Oh jesus.
    Their team is called the News. As in "New Race".
    That way, Nathan can yell "NEWS-TEAM. ASSEMBLE!"
    And blow a conch shell. Only to find out that they were all right there the entire time.

    As in "Huey Lewis and the"?

    I'm going to leave this without any context.

    I still think West is kind of creepy, but I'm really liking his attitude in this week's comic.
