I just watched the scenes with Sylar again, and nope, there's nothing in there showing how they know who his dad is and where he is. The only possible clue was when the agent said Sylar's father was in custody, which Sylar immediately dismissed as a lie, so how the heck do they know who is father is? The best part of this episode was with Sylar, but even that is a pretty big plot hole.

What was the point of destroying of an air strike to destroy the evidence by destroying half of the plane?

Claire, yet again, being defiant and trouble. I sure didn't see that coming :rolleyes:

I'm iffy on Matt now having multiple powers. In volume one, powers manifested naturally, in volume three, they manifested because of an eclipse, in volume four, as a result of something he ate in volume three, Matt is able to draw the future. So not only does being a prophet give you the ability to see future events, it also makes you a better artists than you ever thought possible. So, since Hiro went on a spiritual walk as well, why not have him see visions too? Perhaps it was the erasing of his memory by Arthur that negated this being possible, but if they wanted visions of the future to be a part of the show, they shouldn't have eliminated people who had that ability imho.

The whole operation of finding and detaining people with abilities is mostly a rehashed storyline that was already in effect when the show started, except this time it's government sponsored. From the start of sending them off, the operation has a major set back and government personal are dying... this operation is a mess to start with and won't last long me thinks.

My wife is losing interesting in the show, and she doesn't nit pick about half the things I do, which is really telling about the shape of the show. I think I'm already going to consider this volume a wash as well and have higher hopes for the fifth volume.

He lives near him so I suppose they might of been friends with him and knew where he was going to stay.

@revreddy yeah I think its because Rachel found out Angela was close to her mum and don't forget her mum isn't dead either.

Did a little more digging about Rachel's mom and the speculation is she is Leonie Pinkham. Apparently Leonie was previously believed to be deceased according to Suresh's original list of gifted people in season 1, but those final few seconds of The Recruit series shows she still alive. Beyond that, there really isn't much info on Leonie's ability might be.

Does this mean that people from the original list is inaccurate and those previously believed to be deceased will slowly start showing up?

@revreddy don't know I mean we were led to believe her ability is what drove her to suicide but we don't have any idea what it is. I am thinking maybe its something like Parkmans can hear everyones thoughts but she didn't master it.

We have just been informed by a couple of our sources that the title for Heroes Volume 4 Episode 3x24 is "I am Sylar"

Hmmm I guess this means we will be getting another Sylar-centric episode, which is interesting because there is another one scheduled for Episode 3x19 titled "Shades of Gray"

I like the title and it is the episode before the Season 3 finale so it will be really interesting to see. I just wonder if we will see Sylar take the form of some one else and then reveal himself to say something like "I am Sylar!!" :p

There is one possibility that you are overlooking regarding Parkman. His ability may not be changing. Instead he could have been given that power by another Hero. That same person could have also given it to Issac and the African man. Not sure, but I recall that Parkman was told that he was chosen to be a prophet.

I know he was given the power, and it had nothing to do with his original ability changing, my whole point was that they have had three explanations of power origins (evolution, eclipse, formula), and now a fourth source is thrown into the mix when we've already had two people who have had precognitive abilities (Isaac and Angela), but instead of utilizing those people, they have other people have them (Sylar, Peter), which makes sense because one takes powers, the other leeches. This time around, however, they've gone in a direction that otherwise doesn't seem to have been possible by giving a seemingly random person with a power to see the future, when we originally had two others that could do this as well.

Sylar was given an address by Mr Gray, wasn't he? The watch repairman? Or has he already gone there? My mind is a little fuzzy at the moment, but I just assumed that Mary and Luke's house was THAT address.

Also, refresh my memory--who is Rachel again?

He went to the adress and the agents surrounded Sylar and Lukes house was next door.

Rachel is a girl that was part of the webisode series.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By Geezy · Posted

      That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
