Heroes Volume 4 : Fugitives

[Medking]

well, whether it was the strike or not, my conclusion being that both volume 2 and 3 have been sub-par compared to volume 1. but maybe that's just because volume 1 was seemingly more random? people didn't know what to expect and the different heroes were so far apart that every encounter seemed like a magical coincidence, and it was fun. but now that they're all acquainted with each other it seems like the same story over and over.

Either Peter goes into the future and sees something devastating, and attempts to change it, as he did in the past two seasons, or they use Isaacs Paintings to depict a future which they try to avoid. It's basically the same storyline with some twists here and there.

Another few things to point out which really sucked in Volume 3;

Angela + Dad Petrelli: Having the Dad come back was interesting, I admit. But both of them pretending to be Sylars Parents? Cmon. There was never even an indication that this was possible in the First Volume. We all thought Sylars mom was the snow-globe loving woman who he, dramatically, murdered. Now Angela and the husband appear on the scene and claim ownership. Furthermore, it's all found out to be a lie, and they both just happened to be trying to gain his support to kill the other....Seems like a bit of a family feud which would be better left as a side-story. Also seemed like whoever wrote the series couldnt decide whether they wanted the Petrellis to be Sylars Parents or not. IMO: sucked b***s

Traci Strauss: If this woman was as big a politician as they made her out to be, why was she never even mentioned nor appeared on one of the tv's during Volume 1? It seems as if they just wanted a reason to keep Ali Larter on the show, who, I really do not think adds to the cast and/or is worth keeping.

Claires Real Mom: Again, an almost pointless character added to the cast. Minimal Lines. Added emotional attachment between the characters, yet no real purpose.

Future Story-line: In the first episode, I think, of the Volume (3), there was that snippet wherein Peter is killed by Claire, in the supposed future. That was definitely interesting, to see that they had both taken sides. But this was, again, never followed up. They kept mentioning that sides would be made and that the line was going to be drawn, but it seemed as if they never reached that point. However, maybe this will develop in the next volume. I think it would've added to V3 if they had included more scenes from the supposed future.

I think the only two storylines worth following, which, theoretically, were the same storyline, was that of Matt + Daphne and Hiro's past...seeing his mother. Because she was a character who was actually mentioned throughout the first Volume, and to see that she had an ability, just like the rest of the family, sorta tied things full circle. The question which I now have is does this mean that the sister, head of Yamagato, also have an ability, and if so, what?

Anyways, this all being said, I hope they improve for Volume 4, because frankly right now I don't see the show going anywhere. I think anyone who hopes to start watching Heroes this late in should not even bother with the last two Volumes.

Some new details about the start of Volume 4, "Fugitives." The arc picks up three months after the end of Volume 3. Claire is getting ready to go to college, when she finds out that her bio-daddy Nathan has created a special section to detain anyone with superpowers. Nathan's mission excludes Claire, Peter and Angela, so Nathan himself won't be exposed as a superhuman. But Claire hears that Nathan's next target is Matt Parkman, so she rushes to save him. Meanwhile, Mohinder and Tracy are still working on developing a new superpower formula (why why why?) and the special properties in Mohinder's blood make him an important factor in fighting the new heavy, the Hunter.

At last, most of the heroes are captured and on a plane en route for Guantanamo Bay. Claire gets loose and tries to free the others. Tracy freaks out and freezes the plane, killing the pilot. The plane crashes, but first Peter jumps out with Claire.

In the second episode, we discover most of the heroes survived the plane crash, but Maya was captured. Meanwhile, we learn more about the Hunter's past ties with HRG and Angela Petrelli. And Hiro and Ando help Daphne search for Matt Parkman, who meanwhile discovers his ex-wife Janice is about to give birth to a son who's important to the Hunter.

In the third episode, Matt's son is born and we see the death of a character who first appeared in Volume Two. (Maya?) In the fourth episode, "Cold Wars," we learn still more about HRG's ties with the Hunter, and a Cold War program that trained people to hunt down superhumans. And in the fifth episode, Sylar infiltrates the team that's hunting superhumans. Sylar discovers his dad is still alive ? and it sounds like he's the team's next target.

And then in the sixth episode, "Shades Of Gray," we discover the whole story about (yawn) Sylar's past. We'll get flashbacks, but no actual time travel. In the seventh episode, Monica (remember her?) reappears, and she's the key to helping some of the heroes escape from captivity. And allegedly, invisible man Claude is back in episode nine. In the penultimate episode of the volume, there will be two major deaths, and in the final episode, there'll be "the mother of all deaths," plus a shocking plot twist.

Rappy, I both love and hate you for that :)

[Copoboxx]

Holy crap :o That is some high spoilers which i wish i never read..

[d3bruts1d]

Gah! Can't wait for this volume... why oh why did I read the spoilers??!?!? Curse you Rappy!

[Valerus]

yay for deaths

[Rappy Veteran]

So everyone can breathe easy because those spoilers above are FAKE!

As many could guess yesterday, the Spoilers that we published and the news on the confirmation of 4? Season plus the plans of Tim Kring to finish the series in one seventh season, are a joke that we have allowed the luxury to include to celebrate the day of Santos Inocentes that in Spain is celebrated the 28 of December.

[Julius Caro]

ooo the good ol' "april fools". i guess in latin america it's also dec 28th.
