Mia Posted November 6, 2008 Author Posted November 6, 2008 Yes, I've been very jaded with this series, but last night's episode was awesome! I really enjoyed it. Loved the funny bit with Hiro getting hit with the spade, and I was so glad he didn't kill Ando. I felt sorry for poor old Adam Monroe - buried alive for centuries and then killed in that nasty way. And Peter at the end!! It was a great episode that rekindled my interest. Quote
~Andrea~ Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Absolutely! Poor Peter. Can't wait for next week! Quote
Raven Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 I felt sorry for poor old Adam Monroe - buried alive for centuries and then killed in that nasty way. He wasn't buried for centuries! Hiro buried him at the end of the last series in the present, not the past (granted, it can't have been nice though!). I'm sorry to see his character go, he was a refreshingly cheeky change from all the squared-jawed stoicism! I'm liking this series, but there are too many characters and they are trying to cram too much into every episode (sadly, at the expense of the level of character development they had in the first series).

twinkle Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 I'm sure I didn't miss last week's but it felt like it. During the "in the previous episode" intro there were a few scenes I didn't recognise - like the Petrelli's dad being in bed. And Sylar's good?! He's so sexy when he's bad. It's jumping around a bit too much for my liking at the moment. It feels as if they're making it up as they go along. A bit like Lost, which made me lose interest. Quote
Raven Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 And Sylar's good?! He's so sexy when he's bad 'cause nothing says "sexy" like a man who will take off the top of your skull! Quote

I'm sorry to see his character go, he was a refreshingly cheeky change from all the squared-jawed stoicism! Oh, right! There's so much happening that I can't remember what's gone on half the time! But I agree with you, I didn't want his character to go either. I liked his performance in Alias and I liked him in this too. That Mr Petrelli's a right evil . Quote
Mia Posted November 21, 2008 Author Posted November 21, 2008 Another great episode this week. It was really interesting to see all the backstory, especially how Sylar was manipulated by the company and how totally evil Arthur Petrelli is. I couldn't believe that he was quite happy to kill his own son just to get what he wanted. The bit at the end with Hiro and Arthur was a brilliant cliff-hanger (poor African guy! ) and for the first time ever, I gave into temptation and watched the first few minutes of the next episode on digital, because I couldn't wait a week to find out what happened to Hiro. He is definitely my favourite character. Quote
Ravenwood Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 Is it just me or are they trying to make Sylar sympathetic to cash in on his impending mega-fame as ol' pointy ears Spock? Still can't beat Hiro Nakamura, though! Quote
Kell Posted November 22, 2008 Posted November 22, 2008 I am LOVING what they're doing with the Sylar/Gabriel character - he's always been my favourite! Quote

Still can't beat Hiro Nakamura, though! Maybe! But they're definitely fleshing his character out and giving him some backstory now. Before, it was very black and white - Sylar's evil and always has been. Now, they're showing how he became what he did and how his choices weren't always really his own. I think it's fascinating. But he still gives me the creeps! Especially when he does his "evil" look upwards from under his eyebrows! *shiver* And I agree with you about Hiro! Quote
~Andrea~ Posted November 23, 2008 Posted November 23, 2008 I know - Hiro!! I love the sensible Syler - I loved the domesticated version that was in the future, that was hilarious. Roll on wednesday - I am loving this series Quote
Paige Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 I'm loving this season of Heroes. I didn't rate Season 2 so I was a little worried about this one but it's back to it's best! I love evil Mr Petrelli! He makes evil Sylar look like Mary Poppins! And of course there's Peter. I may just have a little soft spot for Mr Ventimiglia:blush: Quote
Weave Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 The new series is brilliant, I love how they are all choosing sides (I knew they were before) but it is more intense now and you have the two leaders, Arthur and Angela Petrelli (as horrible as Arthur is, Robert Forster is doing a great job playing him!). Sensible Sylar too and of course Hiro! ~ he is just fab! Quote

I love how you just don't know what's going to happen next. I love watching Hiro act like a 10 year old. He's so funny! Quote
Raven Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Just in case people have missed it - as several I know have - Heroes series three re-starts again tonight on BBC Two at 9pm, with the next episode being shown at 10.30pm on BBC Three. Quote
Lucybird Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Yeah I only found out about this at 1:15 this morning, crazyness. Usually they have loads of adverts Quote
Mia Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 I was slightly bored during the first half of the episode, but the second half was exciting! Any similarity to aspects of Guantanamo Bay was accidental, I'm sure. My trouble was that what with the break, I've forgotten who's got powers and who hasn't... It didn't seem to stop them rounding people up though! I could have done with a "previously on Heroes" bit at the beginning and there wasn't one. Pants. Quote
Lucybird Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Yes I could have done with a previously on Heroes bit too, but I guess I'm ok without. I've only watched the BBC2 episode so far (and what an ending!) but I will probably watch the BBC3 one later or tomorrow, I have that one taped too Quote
Raven Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 The BBC Two episode was pretty good, but the BBC Three episode back-slid into "making it up as we go" territory again. They really need to work on a game plan before they start writing . . . Quote
Ravenwood Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Yes it definately needed a recap... my memory just isn't that good anymore... where was I? Very exciting ending, and isn't it funny that Nathan's totally gone to the dark side? What do you think Sylar's dad is going to be like??? Quote
Raven Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 I got around the need for a recap by not watching the last episode of the last series until an hour before the first one of the new. Monday night was Heroes Night in the Raven household (complete with beer and a curry!). As for Sylar's Dad, I reckon he should be a cross-dresser, that should just about finish him off! Quote
Ravenwood Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 As for Sylar's Dad, I reckon he should be a cross-dresser, that should just about finish him off! Genius - you should be on the script writing team Quote
Raven Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Genius - you should be on the script writing team I couldn't do a worse job than Tim Kring and Co are at the mo . . . Quote
