Heroes Volume 3 : Villains


Recommended Posts

Uhh... wtf with the promo? We all know that Peter can stop her stupid trigger happy craziness, so what's up with that?

I am really disliking Claire now, and I think her direction is just stupid and wack. Then again, she really has no further purpose in the show, but being the major cast that she is, they have to do "something" with her.

.. Except Syler saw something "very special" in her and we're only 3 (technically 2) episodes in. I don't see how you could call her "purpose being over" so soon.

I find it awkward to follow season 3 thus far. so many weird storylines that's just...

like how sylar tried to hurt elle but while she screams, her power were released and ended up knocking everyone out. But when sylar does the same to Jesse, nothing happens. You would expect a city to be destroyed when a person with sound amplification cries in pain.

and that angela petrelli, did she just 'feed' sylar? whats the point in that? And why is someone so willing to be food. So weird......

power out: you're missing the point and you're only defending claire cuz you like her or think she's hot. it's very painfully obvious to see that the heroes' writing team wrote in "something" random to keep claire on the show.

if you think back on the first season, it was about keeping sylar away from claire so he can't get her regen ability. now that he has it, she really serves no purpose as she can't do squat besides not feeling pain and healing. and let's just be honest here. relative to the powers other heroes have, her regen and shooting a gun is really nothing. take for example, hiro can freeze time, tie her ass up and bury her. parkman (potentially) put her in a never ending nightmare. daphne can dash around, knock her out, tie her ass up, and bury her. haitian can erase her memory, before she knows she has power, or heck, just mess with her mind in general. tracy can freeze her and turn her into a popsicle. and her biological mom can incinerate her. you get the point.

so anyway, this "special" probably literally means that she can't be killed, as she did not (though it was a brief moment) demonstrate how she is special when we had the glimpse into the future. however, her being entirely immortal does not make sense because in ma petrelli's dream, her head was cut off -- to which we are to assume that she'll remain dead.

also, i am awfully puzzled by the direction they are taking sylar. will he switch sides?! at this point, the only person that has a chance to stand up to him is future peter. and we are led to believe that future peter has learned his lesson about the butterfly effect so he probably won't interfere.

and lastly... how about that huh? if sylar really is related to peter and nathan... nathan really got jacked in terms of power. he gets to flap his wings while his two brothers display the power of god.

The guys at ComicBookResources.com have a weekly Q&A session, called Behind the Eclipse, with Heroes writers Aron Coliete and Joe Pokaski about the previous episode and they also discuss what is to come, which usually leads to some nice spoilers.

Here is a nice little summary of the Q&A where it is confirmed that Episodes 11, 12 and 13 are currently being filmed. There is much more below, so enjoy!!

Thanks to Watching Heroes for the heads up.

* They are working on episodes 11, 12 and 13 right now

* The threat of an actors strike has not affected the production at this point

* Molly will be returning in a couple of ?unique? appearances this season

* We will learn more about how Sylar?s power works (and what he ?really? is) and Mohinder?s adrenaline hypothesis

* We will see Nathan?s wife and kids again this season

* We will see much more of Angela Petrelli this season

* Claire can indeed can be killed, as can Adam and Peter and Sylar, by decapitation

* We will learn more about the future (and its many incarnations) in the next episode

* Sylar is starting over with obtaining powers after being stripped of them in Season 2

* We will see paintings from Tim Sale and Alex Maleev this season

* Niki?s death and Monica?s final scenes were cut from the show but will show up on the Season 3 DVD

* Mohinder?s fly-like abilities were an homage to The Fly

* We will find out why Future Claire thought she could kill Future Peter next week

* Susan Amman is the third woman founder of The Company

* Sparrow Redhouse may make an appearance in episode 12, although it could be pushed back to later in the season

* Future Mr. Muggles will make his debut next week

Nothing really spoilertastic there so its out of tags

So Sylar hasn't got:(verything anymore :(

That's total bull **** if the writers did that imo, cause why wouldn't he have lost telekinesis?

Yeah thats what I thought, maybe because that was his first power he got? (if you dont count the intuitive aptitude).

It's NOT her scream that released her power!

so is sylar just being stupid and not realizing he can die and thats why he is saying claire is special? or does she actually have something in her that makes her that much more special than the others?

He probably thinks no one will ever try and take his head off like the Highlander :p

I knew something was wrong with niki ... in that blog of one of the directors there are pictures of a really burnt niki in a body bag (well, not reeeeeally burnt, but more than what they showed in the last episode). And they didnt show it. And just when I had come to terms with the whole "this is just a few days after the finale, enough for sylar to travel all the way from NY to California..", they show dead niki like she had died the day before!

and lastly... how about that huh? if sylar really is related to peter and nathan... nathan really got jacked in terms of power. he gets to flap his wings while his two brothers display the power of god.

Ha, yeah i was also thinking that. He really got screwed :p

    • 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.
