Heroes Volume 3 : Villains


Recommended Posts

This happened after the all got there powers back just after Nathan flew the Haitian's brother into the car. Go back and rewatch that part of the episode, you cant miss it.

Just viewed it. You can add this to the list of unexplained powers. Many times it appeared that the Haitian's presence alone caused powers to negate, as it did when Hiro and Daphne met in that hotel (he also was a good distance away, coming down an elevator, not standing right next to the person). If anything, it's clear that the writers don't really know how to the Haitian's negating power really works because it's been random.

or you just might be looking into a tv show a little too hard. its sci fi. anything is possible and should be acknowledged before even watching it. if not, we might as well just question why they have powers in the first place and how what power would be possible.

Oh please. Let's just say that the writers should've done a crappier job with the first season so that it wouldn't have been so successful, because the way judge the show now is based on the caliber the show was delivering when it first aired. Far be it from us to hold it to that standard. I liken it to the way the general consensus is on the first Matrix movie compared to the later two. It's actually quite comparable.

Perhaps the haitain can control who he effects? Perhaps its a complete conscious decision on who to negate powers on or a to create a radius of effect? That seems like a logical explanation since Nathan could fly at him, and he was un affected. I also do recall peter saying something a long the lines of "I got a shot, take off his powers" or something a long the lines, specifically asking the haitan to negate his powers specifically.. but it seemed the haitain wanted to do this stuff him self and use his "mind altering" powers instead. I dunno just a thought

That's exactly what makes sense to me.

NBC has just unveiled their mid-season plan of attack. Highlights are below:

? An hour-long episode of The Office will follow the network's broadcast of Super Bowl XLIII on Feb. 1.

? The series finale of ER airs March 12.

? Much-buzzed-about-by-me drama Kings takes over ER's Thursday,10 p.m./ET slot beginning Marc? Heroes' latest volume, "Fugitives," kicks off Feb. 2.. 2.

? Medium returns to Mondays at 10 p.m./ET beginning Feb. 2.

? Low ratings have prompted NBC to trim Knight Rider's order from 21 episodes to 17. As a result, the show's season (and possible series) finale will be broadcast Feb. 25.

? Celebrity Apprentice will air in two-hour chunks beginning Sunday, March 1.

Brian Fuller Returns!

"Pushing Daisies" creator/executive producer Bryan Fuller is close to a two-year overall deal with Universal Media Studios, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Fuller will rejoin the UMS-produced drama "Heroes," which he left after the first season to launch ABC/WBTV's "Daisies," and will develop new projects for the studio.

Fuller, who is wrapping post-production on the final episodes of "Daisies'" 13-episode second-season order, is expected to officially come on board "Heroes" starting with Episode 20.

His exact role on the sci-fi drama has not been determined, but he is expected to play a key role in the writers room alongside "Heroes" creator/executive producer/showrunner Tim Kring.

what to they mean by "latest"?

Each Heroes story arc is broken up into volumes. The writers want to have different stories to tell instead of having season after season focused on stopping the same catastrophic event. From wikipedia:

Kring confirmed that although the show does have a unique mythology, he does not want to sink too deeply into it. Rather, Kring has used volumes to wrap-up ongoing plot lines, rather than carrying storylines over long periods of time, as in Lost.

The prolonged plot has worked great for Lost, but I don't think it would do Heroes justice, at least not having the same event focused on for more than one season. So by latest they're referring to the fourth volume called Fugitives.

I know some of you guys still enjoy Heroes, but I have to say, I'd much rather see Heroes get canceled over Daisies :cry:

Blasphemy! :p

The fact that Fuller is returning to Heroes means Daisies is probably finished (at least on telly tho a movie is considered I heard).

Episode 3.13 Renamed to "Duel"

NBC has announced a new Heroes Webisode series called The Recruit that will run between the end of Volume 3 and the beginning of Volume 4.

This webisode seems very interesting because it focuses on a marine named Rachel Mills that is hired by Pinehearst. Of course if you recall, the promo for this week's episode of Heroes provides us a glimpse of Nathan with Tracy looking at an army of perhaps super soldiers.

So this webisode series will dig deeper into that story line and will also feature Christine Rose as Angela Petrelli.

Well here is the promo to the first Chapter titled "Private Mills" and it is followed by several behind the scenes clips.

Thanks to SpoilerTV for the heads up.

Enjoy!!

The eclipse was a bit of a distraction to me while watching the episodes :(

What they should have done was give the heroes a real eclipse and just make the abilities not work on a temporary basis until a couple of hours or so after the eclipse had passed, But never mind it won't leave any lasting impressions ;)

------- ------- ------- -------

Also if anyone is interested there is a ton of eclipse information on wiki.

Astronomy is a favourite subject of mine :p

    • 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.
