Heroes Volume 3 : Villains


Recommended Posts

Well, the biggest one was how Sylar went from NYC at the end of Season 2 to where ever Claire was staying at the beginning of season 3 with almost no time in between (and he also knew where she was staying, even though I don't remember him ever finding out). Giving Claire's power to Sylar is a huge turning point in the overall plot of the series, and they did it way to quick with no explanation of how Sylar was able to find her.

I think they crammed way, way too many plot twists into the first two episodes. So much so that many of sub-plots felt flat and under-developed. It didn't feel like I was watching the same show. Season 1 and even Season 2's pacing was much better.

Comon, man it really isn't that Difficult for Sylar to find Claire!

He has powers back now! With all his powers, he is damn good at what he does!

Expand your horizons! :)

sylar can look at someone, and tell if they are worthy of the power or not. If he feels they would not use it to its full potentional, he steals it and kills them. I believe if he thinks the person has potential, that he will let them live, out of respect for the power itself.

No... in this weeks graphic novel its clear that Sylar cannot determine if someone is "special" until after he opens them up...as far as the potential... he is only interested in adding to his collection... he told claire that he couldnt have killed her even if he wanted to

Spoiler Tags need to be kept for at least a couple of days because people may of tivoed it, plus people may want to discuss the 3.03 promo

Then they dont need to be reading this thread in the first place. I dont get the whole warning about spoilers thing. If you dont want to know about the show then dont read the damn thread its as simple as that. No need to make people tag everything.

On top of that he tried to get the power from Jackie in season 1 as she said she was the one who went in the fire, as soon as sylar saw claire heal he changed his attack path :)

The two-hour premiere of NBC's top drama "Heroes" was down 25% compared with last year's one-hour opener, taking an expected hit following a creatively middling second season and an extended nine-month hiatus prompted by the writers strike.

The "Heroes" debut (9.9 million viewers, 4.9 preliminary adults 18-49 rating and a 12 share) ranked second in the 9 p.m. hour after ABC's "Dancing With the Stars' " return, and second at 10 p.m. following CBS' "CSI: Miami" debut. ("Heroes" was actually down even more, 33%, if you include NBC's heavily protested move to push Nielsen last fall to roll its Saturday repeat rating into its premiere). Clip show lead-in "Heroes: Countdown to the Premiere" (6 million, 2.6/7) placed third in the hour.

NBC's weaker standings gave CBS a clear opening to lead the night, and the network took it: CBS won its first premiere week Monday since 2002.

hmmm

well he has telepathy....

couldn't he have just pulled the information out of someone's head?

didn't Mohinder say he put Molly on a plane to go somewhere safe?

Yeah he did I am just saying she's the locater which made me think thats how he could find her, I just got through watching the 2 episodes and they were as good as I had read.

Rappy, remember when Sylar was in Mohinder's apartment and mentions he was looking into Claire's blood's healing ability? I think it would be safe to assume that Mohinder's information would have the last known location of Claire.

Also, Sylar doesn't have telepathy.

Well, just rewatched season 2 finale and more things make sense.

When Claire calls Peter to check on Nathan, she's wearing the same clothes as in the season finale. When Sylar stalks Claire, she's wearing different clothes, so maybe it was an entirely different day after all. Which would explain the Sylar popping out of nowhere. As for HRG, they said that he was going 'with' them, thus leaving his family, but we didnt know for what reason, or what was the 'deal'. IMO the deal being 'you get locked up' is no kind of deal at all, so I'm guessing that they had something else planned and decided to go this way. Or, like the director's blog said, HRG's story wasn't "wrapped" in season 2 and was left hanging so that would explain the lack of continuity.

Other than that, all I knew was that there was a big 'twist' at the end of episode two and halfway through the episode I kinda had the feeling that they were going for the obvious making mama petrelli sylar's actual mum. It's not obvious because it's obvious, it's obvious because we already knew there was going to be a twist that was supposed to be shocking. But IMO this kind of things involving the old characters are not good since it kinda changes all the past. Like, why didnt mama petrelli care about sylar being a serial killer until now? That's like saw 3 and 4 adding more stuff to the previous movies.

oh that's right

..just telekinesis right?

Ah well that makes a bit more sense. Thanks

So according to your post about CBS taking the Monday night premiere with better ratings, what shows did they lead with?

They have Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother, then Two and Half Men then CSI Miami

i never heard the words " i am your mother" she did say she is dear, but i thought she was using it in the term of saying, im not ur mom, but i can take the roll if you will let me. Then she used her persuasion power thing that she also has, its got to be there! lol, because dear was repeated with more emphasis.

I think she has just one sole power that is her dreams but her words do have more emphasis when she wants to make an effect.

Ya, thats just another thing on the list im confused about. If she doesnt have a persuasion power, whats with the added effect on certain words she says? I guess sylar could be the ****** child of father patrelli, would be an interesting twist.

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
