    So I keep thinking about Sylar killing Candice. I notice that after killing Candice, he hasn't tried getting any other powers. I keep coming back to the fact that Candice casts illusions, and she was a crafty bitch that never would have turned her back on Sylar. It seems possible to me that she only created the illusion that he ate her brains, which is why he didn't pick up the power, and she'll show up again at some point.

    3 episodes left on the first half of the season I believe.

    They said the second season will have a different plot, like how the first half of Season 1 was "save the cheerleader" and the second half was "save new york"

    So why do they take a mid-season break? When did that start? I took a break from television that started in 1998 and ended midway through the first season of House. I don't remember mid-season breaks.

    I enjoyed this week's episode. I did laugh though when they revealed Adam's cell next to Peter. I don't need to dwell on that, we all know we have heard it all before.


    Anyways, I do also believe Adam is the progenitor of everyone. At the very least, related to Claire (and therefore Nathan, Peter, etc) and that West is an ilegit child of Nathan.

    Oh well.

    So, Heroes. How do you think Adam is intending to "save the world?" He couldn't possibly know about what Peter saw in the future immediately before he blinked back to the warehouse. Unless he engineered it, and plans on saving the world from a disaster he created, a la Syndrome from The Incredibles.

    I don't think he is planning on saving the world. I think he plans on doing something like Bob said - punish humans.

    But I do think that he may sacrifice himself at some point to stop it. But I don't think he plans to at this time.

    Also, I'm pretty sure they will kill him as a character at the end of the season. Somehow.

    Oh! Toasty!

    I don't necessarily dislike Sylar. I just got tired of them using him like a smite button. Hiro stopping time didn't stop him. And that just ain't cool. Where did he get the ability to bypass that?

    Wasn't it more that Hiro didn't actually stop time enough to stop him? Like he was "slipping" or something. Been awhile since I watched that.

    But last season, I was getting so annoyed with how many people were getting taken down by him. It was like he [Sylar] was Rock to everyone else's Scissors.

    I find it ironic you mention him as the rock. That fucker just loves head trauma. Seriously, every scene he's in where he has a blunt object, you know somebody is going to get clubbed upside the back of the head.

    The Company's strange, anyone figured out how it works?
    I think Linderman opposed Adam, as the nuke was suppose to prevent a larger disaster, which might've been the virus. The more devastating shanti virus wasn't present in the nuke timeline.

    Adam has essentially witnessed the progression of war and technology. Hiro wanted to prevent Whitebeard from starting a civil war with technology, and Adam could twist that by killing off everyone, thus preventing all wars and sending people back to the stone age. That'd be pretty cliche, though.

    Bob said Adam was Linderman's mentor, though, that they had roughly the same ideas. Maybe there was enough difference to end up with Adam being locked up, though.
    Spoit wrote: »
    Seems more likely, whatever happened to make them fall out with each other, they still went out of their way *not* to kill each other or come to blows, even if it was something as important as nuking a city they disagreed with. On the other hand, Linderman's more than happy to let Deveaux die without helping him (or maybe Deveaux didn't want to ask for his help). Anyway, this whole "they couldn't kill Adam" thing might not be the case, maybe killing any of the original 12 wasn't something they were willing to do, whatever their differences

    But then how would they know what the symbol on their pictures meant?

    Good point... maybe they used it against other people, but not each other? It just seems odd that they'd be opposed to each other so much and not try bumping each other off (mainly I'm thinking of the Linderman nuking thing and the Adam genocide thing, and Kaito and Angela seemed surprised their old friends were going after them)

    Well, don't buy it all you like, but that's the reason. I don't really remember a time when there weren't a few weeks of reruns.

    It's not for the actors/writers/producers etc (although they do get a bit of time off); it's for the ratings. Very few people watch TV around the holidays, since they're generally traveling to and from various places around the country.

    I think it's pretty obvious that Adam isn't quite as noble as he seems, and I'm sure he'll be manipulating Peter to his own ends. And Peter will be so trusting that he won't ever bother to read Adam's mind.

    I know she's been doing some environmental protests recently, and the Japanese love their shark fins or dolphin babies or whatever.
