Heroes Volume 3 : Villains


Recommended Posts

I agree but I did add the words thoughts to the post so people will speak and discuss them.

Thank you Rappy, I said that a few pages back but it seems that those of us who feel the show isn't as good as it used to be aren't allowed to join in. Anyway did anyone else notice Maya suddenly lost her strong Spanish accent in season 3 and is now an American? :laugh:

You should know, however, that your opinion is worthless to most of the posters on here because we know how close-minded and 'in the bag' you are for any show that you like. They could have Peter crap out a lightning bolt and throw it through Arthur to kill him, and you would tell us how it was the best thing ever.

I can NOT tell you how WRONG and judgemental you are, you always are! Not just you, but most of you that you seem to mention!

Whatever! I know I now DON'T give a **** what YOU think about me cuz you are Obviously WRONG about me! Sometimes I laugh to myself just HOW Ridiculous wrong you people ARE wrong about me, but in the end of day this is just a forum with different people with different attitudes, I try to NOT lose sleep over it!

I AM well proud of my Intelligence, and OPEN mindness, and I don't have to listen to your BS about me here I think most of you are actually the ones CLOSE minded and getting to arrogant all the time!

*SIGH*

Anyway, however, for the benefit of this thread, I want to be DONE with this childish bickering and stupid flaming that you guys always insisting to resort to!

You don't have to respond, and I DON'T have to, myself!

Let it be OVER!

You sir are the one who started this mess to begin with.

Maybe this is going to far with another post, but it has to be pointed out. Someone made a comment about the show's decline and you are the one who started that you "think anyone in this forum like to pretend they could write and make it work better... Go head, make your OWN show! And let's see if YOU really can do it better!!!"

So don't try to blame anyone else on this "bickering" and "stupid flaming" but yourself.

I still 'Whatever' to that anyone on this forum can actually write better than show's writers!

I mean, that's NOT just opinion that the show's quality is bad, but it's the MOST useless and unproven arrogant statement that I have a Big issue with!

IF you really Can write better, then PROVE it, that's what I said and what I will stand by!

I am not going act so arrogant and say I can write better, UNLESS I can Prove it! And, I suggest that you PROVE what you say, otherwise why should I believe/respect it?

I think it's his excessive use of exclamation marks that throws people off. It kinda makes him look angry and confrontational all the time, maybe without meaning so. Dude, Jedi, try losing some of the exclamation marks. It really changes the tone of your posts :yes:

Anyway, I still enjoy Heroes, but also notice that writing has gone quite sloppy. I have never left a show I liked midway, but Heroes is really trying my patience right now.

How would you like them write it?

I think the show's writer's can do better than the effort they've put forth in this season, but I think they've been hampered by some corporate big wigs who thought that the rotating cast idea that the show was supposed to have wasn't a good idea because they didn't want to lose Milo or Hayden's "star power".

But the show's past the turning back point now.

How would you like them write it?

I wouldn't go as far as calling it poor. I just feel it does not live up to the first season.

There are some things that annoy me to no end. Hiro, with his declining maturity level, and being relegated to some sort of comic relief (and trying too hard to be funny). What Arthur did just makes it worse. Of all the things that he could do to kill Hiro, he had to pick this. Maya, from the hardened woman with traumas, escaping to the US through some more traumatic events, and becoming the housewife-ey type once she met Mohinder.

As I said, I still enjoyed the show. I'm not claiming to be able to write better (god, I couldn't even write a 1-paragraph essay) but still think that the writers could have upped their standards a notch to something more on-par to season 1, where we care so much about the characters and their stories, and eagerly anticipating the following week to tell more about the characters.

Right now I just don't really care about Nathan, Mohinder, Hiro, and Claire's storyline. But it may just be me :)

Seriously, say HOW the show is not working... what parts of writing are poor?

And, HOW should it be written instead?

Well, how about we start with the over used twin? If they wanted to bring Ali Larter back, they shouldn't have killed the charater.

As I've said numerous times, there's no real consequences. If something happens, Peter or Hiro can just go back in time and change things. Which goes contray to the grandfather paradox.

I just don't care about any of re characters anymore. They are all dumbed down now (Peter being manipulated so easily by Adam; Mohinder turning out to be a bad guy; Sylar turning out to be a not so bad guy and the fact that he's even still alive erks me).

I can go on if you want, which I'm sure you'll easily rationalize every single one of my problems with the show, so there's no point in going on.

Think its been posted in the many threads created to help heroes :p

But its a good read, I love the show as I have said many times before and yes things need fixing, but I think some people over think the show to much to just enjoy it for what it is but I agree stuff needs fixing when you go in depth.

Forgive me if this had been posted, but for the most I agree with how the EW feels about Heroes: http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20235213,00.html

Hey!

PROBLEM 1: TOO MANY HEROES

SOLUTION: RETIRE SOME CAPES

Kring originally envisioned Heroes as a series that constantly refreshed itself by routinely phasing out characters, but he backed off after the show became a ratings hit — making the cast breakout stars — in season 1. Three seasons later, however, it's time to trim the fat by either killing some top-tier Heroes (hello, genuine life-and-death stakes!) or giving one or two a permanent happy ending. Then shore up the audience's emotional investment with the show's favorites by adding more single-character episodes like ''Company Man,'' the season 1 classic that focused almost exclusively on H.R.G. (Jack Coleman).

Great idea!

also..

host = ando? ehhhh????

hiro would be too obvious, and if they knew the future they would know ando and hiro are still together.

also previously when hiro sees ando "kill him" there arguing about the forumla. thus far it hasnt explained the scene. ;)

Actually that's a good inconsistency that I didn't think of. At that point in time, the formula was already in use because anyone could get abilities, and yet Ando killed Hiro for the other half of the formula, but to what end? Oh wait, there I go again criticizing the show... :unsure:

    • The quantum search for Time's origin had an equally mind-boggling conclusion by Sayan Sen Image by Steve Johnson via Pexels A theoretical study from researchers at the University of Surrey suggested that the direction of time may not be fundamentally fixed in certain quantum systems. The work, published in Scientific Reports, examined how the “arrow of time” could emerge from microscopic physics and found that time-reversal symmetry can remain intact even in models used to describe processes such as energy loss and thermalisation. The arrow of time refers to the observed one-way direction from past to future in everyday life. In macroscopic processes, this is easy to see. Spilled milk spreads across a table and does not gather back into a glass, and heat flows from hotter objects to colder ones. These processes shape the common sense idea that time moves in a single direction. However, at the level of fundamental physics, many equations do not prefer a direction of time. Time-reversal symmetry means that the same physical laws can describe a system whether time moves forward or backward. This has made it difficult to explain why irreversible behaviour appears in the large-scale world even when the underlying rules do not require it. Dr Andrea Rocco, Associate Professor in Physics and Mathematical Biology at the University of Surrey, described this contrast: "One way to explain this is when you look at a process like spilt milk spreading across a table, it's clear that time is moving forward. But if you were to play that in reverse, like a movie, you'd immediately know something was wrong – it would be hard to believe milk could just gather back into a glass. However, there are processes, such as the motion of a pendulum, that look just as believable in reverse. The puzzle is that, at the most fundamental level, the laws of physics resemble the pendulum; they do not account for irreversible processes. Our findings suggest that while our common experience tells us that time only moves one way, we are just unaware that the opposite direction would have been equally possible." The study focused on open quantum systems, which are quantum systems that interact with a surrounding environment. This environment, often described as a heat bath, can exchange energy and information with the system. The researchers used this framework to study how a direction of time might appear even when the underlying physics does not enforce one. A key part of the analysis involved the Markov approximation. This is a simplification used in many models where the system is assumed not to retain memory of its past states. The idea is that changes depend only on the current state, not on earlier history. This is commonly used when studying thermalisation, which is the process where a system settles into equilibrium with its environment. The study also used concepts such as master equations, including the Lindblad and Pauli equations, which describe how probabilities of different quantum states change over time. Another related model discussed was quantum Brownian motion, which describes the random-like movement of a quantum particle interacting continuously with its environment. In these descriptions, a “memory kernel” can appear, which is a mathematical term that accounts for how past states influence current behaviour. The researchers found that applying the Markov approximation did not break time-reversal symmetry. Even when the system interacted with an effectively infinite heat bath, the resulting equations of motion remained symmetric in time. This meant that the same mathematical description could, in principle, run forward or backward in time without contradiction. The study further showed that standard frameworks used in open quantum systems, including quantum Brownian motion and master equations like the Lindblad and Pauli forms, could be written in a time-symmetric way. These equations are typically used to describe processes that look irreversible, such as dissipation and thermalisation, but the results suggested they can also be interpreted as allowing evolution in both time directions. Thomas Guff, Research Fellow in Quantum Thermodynamics, said: "The surprising part of this project was that even after making the standard simplifying assumption to our equations describing open quantum systems, the equations still behaved the same way whether the system was moving forwards or backwards in time. When we carefully worked through the maths, we found that this behaviour had to be the case because a key part of the equation, the "memory kernel," is symmetrical in time. We also found a small but important detail which is usually overlooked – a time discontinuous factor emerged that kept the time-symmetry property intact. It’s unusual to see such a mathematical mechanism in a physics equation because it's not continuous, and it was very surprising to see it appear so naturally." The researchers also noted that deriving a one-way arrow of time from time-reversal symmetric microscopic dynamics remains an open problem across fields such as thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, particle physics, and cosmology. Their results suggested that some standard descriptions of irreversible behaviour in open quantum systems may be better understood using a time-symmetric formulation of Markovianity. According to the study, processes such as thermalisation, which are usually treated as irreversible, could in theory be described in a way that allows evolution in either time direction under the same rules. This does not imply that time reversal occurs in everyday life, but rather that the underlying equations do not strictly enforce a single direction. Overall, the findings suggested that the perceived direction of time may emerge from how physical systems are modelled and approximated, rather than from a fundamental asymmetry in the laws themselves. The researchers noted that this perspective could have implications for ongoing work in quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and cosmology on the origin of time’s arrow.
