Heroes Volume 3 : Villains


Recommended Posts

i havnt liked the last couple episodes of heroes, but i didnt hate them.

season 1 and 2 seemed to have so much more.

good story and just enough to keep you wondering.

but season 3 hasnt had many good 'twists'

+1 (Y) exactly what I was thinking... They could have done so much more.. and hopefully still will

Okay, When Nathan first tells Peter that his father died it was explained that it was a heart attack. This was in the episode 6 months ago in season 1. It wasn't till about 6 months later that Nathan and his Mother started telling peter it was a suicide brought on by depression, this could have easily been a lie the both of them agreed on to further both of there agendas or just them trying to save peter's life, who knows. But the whole heart attack thing was NOT new too tonight's episode.

How did Arthur get to Africa, and how did the pre-cog not see him coming to take his head off ?

He got Peter's powers so he could either fly there or teleport with Hiro's power. How did the pre-cog not see him coming? Well that depends on if he really went to Africa. Arthur has Angela's dream power so this could all be in Hiro's spirit walk and not actually happening in real life. Or possibly, he was like Issac and knew he was going to die and not able to do anything about it.

Anyways, there's no point in arguing with you. You're starting to sound like Jedi.

What? Quit acting so arrogant... but I think you may actually be right there were certain Huge continuity ERRORS!

Other people on other forums are also saying it don't match, Interesting...

However, I am going have to rewatch Season 1, since I Can't remember the timelime good.

Is THIS Why the writers were Fired? Hmmm this would make the BIGGEST continuity Error yet!

I can see valid points on here about last nights episode, free opinion ftw.

Onto some spoilers!

This week's Spoiler Chat from Kristin did not reveal anything too spoilery, but she did confirm that we will finally find out that Elle is indeed Sylar's baby mama soon and that in Episode 3x10 The Eclipse that we should expect in her words see some of that "hot baby making".

Personally, I am not too sure how many Heroes fans really care about the romance aspect of the show, but I know there are a ton of Kristen Bell and Zachary Quinto fans that are happy to hear this news.

Some Tid Bits from Episode 3.09

1) Matt and Daphne will help Angela get out of her coma

2) Elle will beg to die and another hero might make her wish come true.

3) Mohinder will reveal that there is a 3rd part of The Forumla called "The Catalyst", the key is it is a person.

while I admit that I am a little confused in the direction of the show as well the physical umph of the show isnt like the previous 2 seasons I think this is all part of the season. Remember 3 weeks ago when Ando was supposedly killed by Hiro, well that turned out different than we thought. So I think that while last night was a little boring it was a needed episode that will help with the next few weeks.

Ah, you are right (I rewatched the scene in question). However, it doesn't add up with the story having established that Arthur was suffering from depression and committed suicide as a result. When we see the story unfold, none of this occurs at all.

I do like the theory of what happened at the end being part of the spirit walk, but with where this show is going, or not going, I'm 50/50 on it.

What? Quit acting so arrogant...

I'm not acting arrogant, I'm calling it as I see it. He was coming across how you usually come across. And no, the writers weren't fired because they got Arthur's "death" wrong.

I agree there are some holes in the whole Arthur thing but the company has been so manipulative in the past I wouldn't put it past them to manipulate the situation. Remember the whole depression thing doesn't come up till 6 months later when peter jumps. The company could've easily messed with nathan as the were trying to get him elected :)

you know what, get over it. With all the time jumping and mind manipulation, it isnt hard to believe that maybe no one really knows whats going on, except for maybe the hatian! lol, the hatian is the real key.

But no really, whos to say anyone but aurthor or the hatian really know what is going on now. Could be some villian/hero we dont know about who just messes with the story lol. Lets just let it be, accept what we see, and until something else comes, not question the holes.

No, we're not both correct. It was originally established as suicide due to depression, and they completely ignored it and used a heart attack. One of many fickle decisions that was made since the standard was set in season one. They also hinted at Kaito being Kensei, but ditched that idea with season two. Anyways, there's no point in arguing with you. You're starting to sound like Jedi.

Hinted? Kaito WAS Kensei. If you take the end of S1 (the Volume 2 preview) and pause it on Kensei looking at the eclipse, it is CLEARLY George Takei.

I'm not too worried about what the story was that Arthur died from, but they did screw up the timeline. Some of the events supposedly happened on dates prior to 'one year ago'.

Edited by episode

Kaito was never Kensei, I think its pretty clear that Hiro as also been the Kensei of his stories and Adam (real Kensei) was the dragon. But yeah, George Takei was never Kensei. Just because you think some Asian guy in a mask looks like another Asian guy doesn't mean it was him. Until you point me to an interview or some off hand comment that it was George Takei you're just speaking your own theories.

So you're saying that all asian people look the same?

It is clearly George Takei. If you go back and look, there is no arguing it.

Yes, that is exactly what I said all Asian's look the same </sarcasm>. Why don't you actually read what I said buddy. I said just because you think they look the same doesn't mean they are. Anyway, you're still in the realm of theory here.

Go watch it. Until you do, don't bother saying anything. It is CLEARLY HIM.

Claire being special was SO predictable!

Anyway, yeah, arthur dying like that didnt seem right to me, I dont think it matches what they told us in season 1.

But Elle being on NY after sylar became a killer, and suresh being in NY driving that taxi on that very same day (or the morning after...). I thought that suresh was teaching in india in the first episode and went to NY because his father had been killed. So, he killed his father in a day and suresh came that quick?

    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has been trying to improve it, Windows 11 is definitely not flawless, as even today some issues are taking a year to publicly acknowledge. However, one area of trouble that may finally see much better results soon is graphics driver crashes. Work on graphics driver timeouts, also called Timeout and Detection Recovery (TDR), is not new as the latest WDDM 3.2 also has specific improvements regarding it. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version 3.2 is supported on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2. However, with the upcoming version 26H2, TDR crash diagnosis could go to the next level as Microsoft is introducing a new DirectX 12 API feature called "DirectX Dump Files". Similar to how system memory dump files work when a system crashes or freezes or encounters any such major issue, DirectX Dump Files (DDF) will essentially record a snapshot of the GPU execution right at the moment a graphics-related crash or hang or freeze occurs, so that developers can better understand and diagnoze these TDR and timeout detection errors. The dump will be available as a .dxdmp file for analysis and it will be a comprehensive dump file generated with detailed insights about the hardware, drivers, Windows, as well as the affected application. This should be another welcome change in this department. Earlier at GDC 2026, when the technology was first debuted, Microsoft had shared more details regarding it. The company had explained how DDF is designed to gather data from every layer of the graphics stack into a single file, eliminating the need for developers to manually correlate logs from multiple tools. As mentioned above, the dump can contain a lot of useful details like GPU hardware state information such as register values, shader program counters, page fault virtual addresses, shader memory data, and command buffers. Alongside that, it also captures DirectX runtime and kernel information, including D3D objects, pipeline state objects, device error data, adapter details, and CPU call stacks. Microsoft says the feature has been built around two primary use cases: retail device removals and local device removals. The former allows developers to collect crash information from end users' systems in the field, while the latter helps QA teams and developers investigate issues on test machines. Developers will also be able to include up to 2 MB of custom application data through new D3D12 APIs, providing additional context for troubleshooting. In addition, Microsoft is introducing three dump collection modes ranging from zero-overhead capture, which has no runtime performance impact on supported hardware, to higher-detail modes that collect more vendor-specific debugging data. On compatible Tier 2 hardware, zero-overhead dumps will be enabled by default, meaning developers may begin receiving useful crash diagnostics without making any code changes. The table below explains the three tiers: Tier Description NO_OVERHEAD Enables crash capture with no runtime cost and is suitable for broad deployment MEDIUM_OVERHEAD Provides a balance, capturing additional diagnostic data with moderate impact HIGH_OVERHEAD Collects the most detailed GPU and driver state available, enabling deeper investigation at the cost of higher runtime overhead In terms of availability, the company expects broader release to be around the fall of 2026, which should be right around the time when Windows 11 version 26H2 lands. Right now, DirectX Dump Files are available as a preview and currently, only AMD has the compatible AgilitySDK Developer Preview driver version 26.10.07.02. You can find the official announcement post here on Microsoft's website.
