Heroes [SPOILERS]

[dystopia]

I did see the screen and it did look like Peter being checked out in a hospital setting.  I hadn't thought that it might be in the future.  That would be really interesting.  I thought it was taped footage of Peter during the period between when he explodes(?) and ends up in the shipping container.  I thought maybe the Company had him in their clutches for a period.

Bob's ok, but Adam turns out to be VERY interesting.

(Deuce, was it a serious question?  Are you on Season 2? )

Yeah, it was a serious question, we're about 2 days behind you guys now from when the most recent episode screens over there.

I've missed parts of the last two episodes due to falling asleep on the couch.

Here's what I know about Bob: (since you fell asleep)

- major player in The Company (possibly the head of it)
- was a part of the oldtime team of superheroes (with linderman, mom&pop petrelli, father of cop, father of hiro, etc.)
- he turned a spoon into gold, not sure what other powers
- cultivated the virus that appears to be a major plot device this season
- his motives are unclear.  He wanted to test the virus on the new muscle mimic hero from New Orleans, so he's pretty ruthless.  He also mentioned something about the virus being necessary to stop heroes whose powers are too potent and dangerous (like adam?)

Nothing to add to the discussion as I've never seen the show.

But I like looking at my new avatar.  Karma to whoever identifies her.

Prince?

Is it Ann Veal from Arrested Development? (George Michael Bluth's bland girlfriend)

Can we see it a little larger?

(I have a suspicion who it is, FWIW).

Wow, this article is right on with the reasons why Heroes sucks this year.

'Heroes' Creator Apologizes to Fans
Tim Kring admits mistakes were made at the beginning of season 2, but promises to get back on track
http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20158840,00.html

Even more encouraging: Kring himself is keenly aware that Heroes is broken. Here's his candid critique:

THE PACE IS TOO SLOW ''We assumed the audience wanted season 1 — a buildup of intrigue about these characters and the discovery of their powers. We taught [them] to expect a certain kind of storytelling. They wanted adrenaline. We made a mistake.''
(more...)

Yet while Heroes has finally found some dramatic traction, this second volume is pretty much a wash. The Dec. 3 episode has been retooled to function as a potential season finale — a move inspired by the writers' strike and a desire to give the show ''a clean slate'' when it goes back into production for Volume 3. At that point, Kring wants to craft a rebooted Heroes that can attract new fans and win back those who've tuned out: ''The message is that we've heard the complaints — and we're doing something about it.''

Tim Kring, a producer and writer of the NBC hit "Heroes," said he had to revise the ending of the show's 11th episode on the chance that it might be the last one to air this season. "Fortunately we were able to hustle back," Kring said from a picket line in an effort to shut down the show. "The audience won't be left in a lurch."

"HIRO WAS IN JAPAN WAY TOO LONG"  -- YEESSSS!!   Still, I kind of like slower paced character development stuff sometimes.  I have no problem with the Maya/Alejandro scenes.  Feudal Japan just got boring after a while.
