He froze time briefly on the roof that time, facing Bennet and an un-prepared Haitian with Claude.
I believe the writer's have said that this was just dramatic Matrix-esque slow motion Telekinesis usage.
I said this earlier but no one wanted to listen to me.
Now is your chance for vengence! Kill a guy with a radiation powers and blow up New York to prove to all of them you're special! You could even be President! Prove you're better!

I wish I could find the article that said Sylar's big part in season 2 would be his history, not "Oh shit Sylar again".
Also, I'm starting to think that maybe the "Peter vs Sylar" battle is gonna be Peter realizing he HAS to explode in order to stop Sylar, since if he's the one who causes the explosion, HE will survive, but Sylar will not.
after watching a bunch of episodes of heros, especially the last 6 or so, i dont think they really need to make a watchmen movie, the whole linderman thing is just like ozymadius (sp?) and there are heaps of references to it in other areas of the show.
And yes, I get the Linderman parallel, but where are the rest of which you speak?
Let me think...
There's the comic within a comic/show. Both have heroes that are politicians, and heroes that have nuclear-related powers. Personally, it seems like the 'save the cheerleader, save the world' tagline was trying to rank up there with Watchmen's. I haven't read it in a long while, that's what I can think of of the top of my head.

Linderman's plan is just the most obvious one.
Also the whole older generation/newer generation thing.

Those aren't subtle examples, just weak ones. The Linderman example is a direct parallel, the others just have things that are kinda-sorta related to each other in some vague way.
The comic within a comic/show is used completely differently in Watchmen & Heroes. In Heroes, it's an active part of the story since it's Hiro's guide. In Watchmen, it's just a storytelling element to frame scenes.
I don't remember any politician heroes in Watchmen, and Dr. Manhattan is so much more than just making glowing balls of energy/exploding like Ted.
Yeah, they're not very strong. But, besides Linderman, the whole thing just feels like Watchmen in a way that's hard to explain. But I still think the comic thing is a nod to Watchmen, even if it's not exactly the same.
And I thought the Comedian was a politician. After checking, it seems he was just a government employee.
Also...last episode tonight. Whoo!

The series is more like Seven Soldiers than Watchmen
Shit, after like the first ten minutes of the first episode, I said it was like Seven Soldiers
When they cut to the field, I was sure it was going to show Peter crash landing there. But hey...we got to see Takei the samurai instead!
It wasn't too bad, all in all. The moment with the two super-kids was cute, and seeing Nikki finally set up and do what she needs to was great. Same with Peter. Everyone notice that at the fight he switched from whiney voice to manly, gruff, future-Peter voice?
I went to the scene where it zoomed in on Sylar's white 'future' eyes, and clicked through it a few times on freeze frame. It looks like it shows all the people he's killed/debrained until then, ending with him thinking he's dying (I guess). One of them looks like his mom, and the other I recognized was the super-hearing lady. You see part of her body off the side of the garage's car lift. Another guy is lying on the ground, with what looks like part of his head missing.
So, either it's the people he's already killed, or people he's killed and will kill in season two. Because I didn't recognize most of the clips.
Edit : I forgot to ask, but it popped up in the other thread and reminded me. Why didn't illusion-girl turn into a fat, possibly black person when all her other illusions faded? I mean, I guess you could No Prize it out that it's so important to her that she's even able to keep it up when unconcious...or that she actually looks like that. But, why fucking bother to throw in those lines, then?

Yeah that confused me too. Maybe the line to Micah was just to confuse him and she really WAS hot all along?
Also: Molly's totally got a crush on Micah.
And I'm glad "OMG LOVE IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT" wasn't some bullshit "WE LOVE EACH OTHER AND THEREFORE WE WIN " crap. But like "I love my brother, so I'm not letting him blow up the world."
Ya know, actually meaning something. Not some metaphorical "Love will save the day" crap.

When they started up with the love stuff, I started worrying that Peter was going to hug Sylar and make it all better.
I also thought illusion-girl was going to turn out looking pretty ugly or really different, just based on the little hints she gave.
So Hiro's father's power has something to do with being immortal after all, as some people here guessed. Pretty cool I suppose, it was also neat seeing the symbol in his banner.
I was disappointed though that the big fight between Peter and Sylar turned to be a Vader Fore Choke and a couple of punches, but I guess this show really isn't about that. Still...would've been cool.
No way did Peter and Nathan die though, Peter could survive the explosion and Nathan could probably take off fast enough to get away from him in time, so there's a strong chance he survived.
Also, what's up with the cockroach at the end? It's everywhere Sylar goes, maybe it's one of his powers, he can live on in a roach... And I'm a little confused by something, in the end, did Sylar escape through the sewers or was that just blood running down a drain? I couldn't tell for sure.

I just find it odd that no one seemed overly concerned about Sylar's missing body, they were probably way more preoccupied with their loved ones and what not, but still, I would think Mohinder or Noah (Which is kinda cool knowing Bennets first name.) Would've been looking into it. Then again, there probably wasn't enough time to show their reaction.
Sucks, before we'd only have a week of speculation before we got some anwsers, now we have to look forward to a few months of wonder.
Funcational finale, at best. No balls, cheap cop-outs galore and dudes acting way out of character for no good reason. Still, the last few minutes were stellar and have me totally psyched for sea-- err-- volume two.
So, I totally wasnt crying when nathan flew in to save New York. Its these new contacts, y'see. They cause my eyes to water sometimes.
...
Also, those EMTs suck. Its like
Molly: Wait! I want to talk to him
EMT: Oh. We were gonna rush him to the hospital. But I guess you telling him something he cant hear is good too. Those life saving medicines can wait
Srsly man, get him in the ambulance and vroom vroom him outta there.

Remember the very first episode when Mohinder says that the most evolved species in the world were cokroaches, who can survive anything?
And almost everytime Sylar was captured/had to survive, there was a cokrach nearby, so i´m guessing its some allegory on how Sylar tries to survive/can survive? .

That's because he's channelling Peter "Jessica" Petrelli. You know, because Ali Larter was RIGHT THERE.
Plus, loved the reveal that Peter absorbed Shaft's "dream prophecy" ability.
Can someone explain how he might go about regenerating? I mean, if getting punctured in the medulla oblongata prevents someone from regeneration, you would think blowing it up would have the same effect.

Well, Ted never got hurt when he went nuclear, why would Peter?

I said this earlier but no one wanted to listen to me.
Season 2 will then be Sylar re-discovering his flimsily-blocked abilities.
Anally.
Now is your chance for vengence! Kill a guy with a radiation powers and blow up New York to prove to all of them you're special! You could even be President! Prove you're better!
I always knew I was special
Also, I'm starting to think that maybe the "Peter vs Sylar" battle is gonna be Peter realizing he HAS to explode in order to stop Sylar, since if he's the one who causes the explosion, HE will survive, but Sylar will not.
And yes, I get the Linderman parallel, but where are the rest of which you speak?
Anally.
You know, thinking upon this a little bit further, it's bad, but not too bad.
Sure, he could locate any person in the world, which spells deep shit for heroes he's already met, but after that? He needs the list still.
I thought she just has to think about them. So would it work like "i wonder where a guy with special powers is?" and then find him one?
PARKER, YOU'RE FIRED! <-- My comic book podcast! Satan look here!
So far Molly's only been shown finding people she's met.

Let me think...
There's the comic within a comic/show. Both have heroes that are politicians, and heroes that have nuclear-related powers. Personally, it seems like the 'save the cheerleader, save the world' tagline was trying to rank up there with Watchmen's. I haven't read it in a long while, that's what I can think of of the top of my head.
Linderman's plan is just the most obvious one.
Also the whole older generation/newer generation thing.
Those aren't subtle examples, just weak ones. The Linderman example is a direct parallel, the others just have things that are kinda-sorta related to each other in some vague way.

And I thought the Comedian was a politician. After checking, it seems he was just a government employee.
Also...last episode tonight. Whoo!
Shit, after like the first ten minutes of the first episode, I said it was like Seven Soldiers
Best part of the episode, hands down.

1. Claire's dive for freedom = no...fuck YOU, daddy!
2. Sylar + Parking Meter of DOOM = pwn3d!
3. "You look bad-ass" = funniest part
4. "...he can see me." = ZOMG!
5. "...so WE can save the world." = hellz YEAH!
Yeah, I'm preordering the DVD's stat ;-)
It wasn't too bad, all in all. The moment with the two super-kids was cute, and seeing Nikki finally set up and do what she needs to was great. Same with Peter. Everyone notice that at the fight he switched from whiney voice to manly, gruff, future-Peter voice?
I went to the scene where it zoomed in on Sylar's white 'future' eyes, and clicked through it a few times on freeze frame. It looks like it shows all the people he's killed/debrained until then, ending with him thinking he's dying (I guess). One of them looks like his mom, and the other I recognized was the super-hearing lady. You see part of her body off the side of the garage's car lift. Another guy is lying on the ground, with what looks like part of his head missing.
So, either it's the people he's already killed, or people he's killed and will kill in season two. Because I didn't recognize most of the clips.
Edit : I forgot to ask, but it popped up in the other thread and reminded me. Why didn't illusion-girl turn into a fat, possibly black person when all her other illusions faded? I mean, I guess you could No Prize it out that it's so important to her that she's even able to keep it up when unconcious...or that she actually looks like that. But, why fucking bother to throw in those lines, then?
Also: Molly's totally got a crush on Micah.
And I'm glad "OMG LOVE IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT" wasn't some bullshit "WE LOVE EACH OTHER AND THEREFORE WE WIN
Ya know, actually meaning something. Not some metaphorical "Love will save the day" crap.
I also thought illusion-girl was going to turn out looking pretty ugly or really different, just based on the little hints she gave.
So Hiro's father's power has something to do with being immortal after all, as some people here guessed. Pretty cool I suppose, it was also neat seeing the symbol in his banner.
I was disappointed though that the big fight between Peter and Sylar turned to be a Vader Fore Choke and a couple of punches, but I guess this show really isn't about that. Still...would've been cool.
No way did Peter and Nathan die though, Peter could survive the explosion and Nathan could probably take off fast enough to get away from him in time, so there's a strong chance he survived.
Also, what's up with the cockroach at the end? It's everywhere Sylar goes, maybe it's one of his powers, he can live on in a roach... And I'm a little confused by something, in the end, did Sylar escape through the sewers or was that just blood running down a drain? I couldn't tell for sure.
Also, did Sylar actually die or did he just jump down the manhole? And what was with that goo on top of it?
The cockroach at the end suggests Sylar lives, but the body dragging thing is so much more fucked up, I want that to happen.
PARKER, YOU'RE FIRED! <-- My comic book podcast! Satan look here!
I hope it is, that part of the episode was probably the most intriguing part for me.
I didn't see any goo, might've been the roach maybe?
Sucks, before we'd only have a week of speculation before we got some anwsers, now we have to look forward to a few months of wonder.
But alas, no flying horses.
...
Also, those EMTs suck. Its like
Molly: Wait! I want to talk to him
EMT: Oh. We were gonna rush him to the hospital. But I guess you telling him something he cant hear is good too. Those life saving medicines can wait
Srsly man, get him in the ambulance and vroom vroom him outta there.
Remember the very first episode when Mohinder says that the most evolved species in the world were cokroaches, who can survive anything?

Plus, loved the reveal that Peter absorbed Shaft's "dream prophecy" ability.
Maybe next season we see more of 'Nathan' after all.
