Heroes Vol. 3: Villains

Only two ways he can...suffocation or decapitation.

I knew about the decapitation already because last season, Adam told Peter that that's the only way they could be killed. And obviously Meredith proved this week that they could suffocate as well.

Plus if memory serves, didn't Angela have a dream where Claire's head was on the ground?

Just because she was suffocating doesen't mean she can die from it. Adam was completely burned to ash and came back from it. She'd just pass out. Meredith was just trying to prove that Claires not strong enough to help people and that she can expose Claires weakness. Really Adam/Claires ability isn't much of a combat at all, they're just immune to death other than a bullet in the brain.

Whats the name of the dude with the blue fire he was in level 5 and bennet shot him

Was the Germans power just bending metal

Btw Season 3 of heroes has 26 episodes
It said in the uk tv listings 1/26: The Second Coming

Christ, how many plotholes did Monday night's episode have? I lost count about halfway through.

I really hope this isn't a sign for things to come with this season. Besides the poor writing there seems to be a distinct lack of drama. I'm not sure how to explain it. Every scene seems to be trimmed down to just the core with the sole purpose of moving the episode forward which results with a lot of substance being lost. Compare this with season one when you had a bunch of great characters in addition to a great plot. The scenes themselves are limited to ones that only serve to move the plot. We need some character pieces like the ones from season one, which were fantastic.

And here's a minor complaint - why the hell do they keep calling people "villains" in the show? Does anyone else groan at how corny that is? Outside of really silly comic books who the hell uses that word? It was a great title for the season, being a nod to it's comic book-inspired roots and all, but having characters call each other it is a bit too much.

The piss-poor writing is also sucking away most of my emotional involvement. Besides the scene where Noah dies and Sylar goes nuclear I didn't care much at all. Almost all the characters are acting very out of character and the big plotholes everywhere certainly aren't helping things.

Claire: No major complaints, but the scene between her and her birth mother in the metal...storage unit? was poorly done and unconvincing.

H.R.G: "I'm going to find his weakness and kill him." Um...why didn't you just shoot Sylar in the head when the Haitian was suppressing his powers as you delivered that line?

Maya: Man, the writers really made her easy. She was annoying in season 2 so not much has changed.

Ando: One of the few who they're handling right. Such as him just knocking the Haitian out instead of following Hiro's stupid idea.

Hiro: Why have they made him a baffling buffoon again? Did he learn nothing from the last two seasons? Characters are suppose to grow and change over time, something that they're not letting Hiro do. Which is an awful shame, as he's my favorite. A more mature Hiro would have been more than welcome. And why didn't Hiro just go back in time and stop the safe from being opened? That would have solved everything.

Parkman: No complaints.

Nathan: This Bible-thumper thing is annoying. Not the fact that he became religious, but just they way they're doing it. He's one notch below the bitch from The Mist. Not to mention it came out of nowhere.

Linderman: WTF? Can't comment as I have no idea where this is going. But the more Malcolm McDowell the better, I suppose.

Tracy: Last episode's exchange between her and Nathan after she learned he could fly was painful to watch. Easily one of the worst scenes from the whole show, which is amazing since the scene was barely a minute long. Ali Larter's acting could use some improvement.

Peter: Yeesh. Last night's episode almost ruined the character for me. Ignoring the (at least 20-something) plotholes, why the hell did he kill Nathan? Sylar's "huger" is a psychological problem, not a ing power. How did the writers forget that? Even if it was (and now apparenty is) he would never turn on Nathan. Why did he even need Sylar's power when he as a superior form of it himself? Why wasn't he able to stop Sylar's kid from dieing when he has a bunch of powers that could have prevented it in seconds?

Mohinder: So...how long will they be ripping off The Fly? Not to mention his character seems to get dumber as time goes by.

Syalr: ...what they hell have they done? Where could I start? Sylar wouldn't just bindly believe Angela, he's not that gullible. The writers can't seem to get their story consistent if his old powers are still with him or if he's now a clean slate. They made a compelling psychological problem of his a power. I will give them this, though, him in the future was brilliant.

I'd like to point out I didn't even scratch the surface with the season three plotholes.

Okay. I've watched every episode of Heroes in the past week because I've finally had the chance to.

So being all caught up and having it pretty fresh in memory...

Do I have to say spoilers? Or is it just obvious? Whatever, SPOILERS.

How is future Peter dead? Doesn't he have Claire's healing ability, so the bullet would just exit his body and he'd be fine? I don't believe Claire shot him in the head. Did I miss something or is it just a plot hole?

The third season isn't doing much for me but I'm hoping it builds up and improves like the show usually does. Still, I'm shocked that Nikki is dead, especially after saving whatsherface, who I don't even believe has shown up yet this season.

Mohinder is a waste of a character and so is Maya. He started out intelligible...but now is just desperate to become enabled with super powers? I understand character progression but I don't care for the character. I'm also not a fan of Peter all of a sudden craving other super powers, but I'm willing to give it a chance to see what happens.

Hiro and Ando is being handled wonderfully so far and I'm very interested to see where it's going. I'm glad Adam is back, but I'm surprised it's so soon.

Other things I have questions about I might have missed:

Did they ever say how exactly Sylar goes about getting the abilities? I initially thought he dissected their brain and incorporated it into his but with Claire, he really didn't do anything but look at her mind. And why didn't the top of her head grow back after it was cut off, like her toe was? Which...was disgusting.

I really love the ideas they have for the show sometimes but they really seem to overlook small details sometimes that make the world of difference.

with mr. muggles, its only 4 more years.

Yeah, but that's like...28 in dog years!


Except this season, she's actually playing a different character. Niki and Tracy are 2 out of 3 triplets. Although, if their sister Barbara was Noah's mommy, I wouldn't be shocked.

And on a side note, that would mean that all 3 triplets had slept with at least one of the Petrelli brothers...sort of. They prevented the future where Peter and Niki end up together, but still...

I seriously doubt it's Claire, considering that Sylar is her Uncle.

Anyone notice in the photo, of Barbara and her family, that her father was The German
