Heroes Volume 4 : Fugitives


Recommended Posts

1 episode left till the finale!

Last nights episode was great! I knew their mother had to of had some sort of power, just couldn't figure out what

Angela has precognitive dreaming, Sister Alice has Weather Control, Father has Shockwave Emission and the Mother well she didn't use any in the show so we don't know.

the episode itself was not bad. It was a good glimpse of the past and why the company was formed. The thing that I thought was horrible was the dialogue. Too many spilling emotions back and forth. Every scene was like, cry on my shoulder some one! Re-watch the claire talking to both her dads part in the shed. It was just so horribly shot. She walks up, starts spilling this person stuff, and then you see hrg and nathan move at the same time, take up poses.... just seemed too staged.

I don't see how you could come to that conclusion. There are multiple eclipses every year.

The show emphasized on the eclipses in the third volume as power sources, but we've seen powers manifest without the existence of one at the particular time.

The Eclipse was never a source of everyones powers, it just happened that there was one to activate the powers of these heroes. Each one affects people differently I believe

I beg to differ. One of the crux's of volume 3 was the eclipse's ability to give and take away powers, one of the sloppiest things the show did to screw itself up. Several sources have been pegged for powers so far.

Name one instance in which you can say, with 100% certainty, that a person manifested a power without there being an eclipse. Other then the formula of course which was an "unnatural" method. Just because you haven't seen the eclipse take place doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

I thought 2 more episodes were left?

Anyways, I think they are building it in a nice way for the season finale. I can't wait!

How is it a cop out? Just 'cause you try and see flaws in everything doesn't mean there are actually flaws in everything. Hell, they even made the point in the first episode with baby Parkman that his power first started to manifest after the last eclipse.

It's a cop out because it's so easy to say, "Because you didn't see X, doesn't mean Y." It's like waving a magical wand and things are magically different or make sense.

Before the eclipse, Claire attempted to kill herself six times, Nikki was tearing bodies to shreds, Hiro was causing hickups in time, Isaac was painting the future, and Peter was absorbing powers. All these things happened before they showed the first eclipse in the season one. Knox first showed his power with no sign of an eclipse. I'm sure there are more examples in the comics of this. Eden is one example, when she told her mom to die. A full, bright moon that night can be seen through the kitchen window, no indication of an eclipse.

Can't you just acknowledge the inconsistencies in the eclipses and powers? Evolution being the source is what the show originally started with, and it should have stuck with that because it made sense. I should've known mentioning the eclipse would have ruffled some feathers, heaven forbid I want this show to make some kind of sense in one of its most dynamic elements.

The source of the powers still a result of evolution though, there has been a clear definition that there is a DNA source of powers. The real question is what does the eclipse do? I could be something as simple as it causes the powers to manifest or, more likely, it just alters the potency of the powers. This has yet to be explained in the show, nor have they really even tried to. All they have really said is that the eclipses have a significant effect on those who have the genetic makeup for abilities. Just because something is unexplained does not mean it is inconsistent.

I have always thought that the powers are due to Evolution (DNA based) and always has been. However I dont think the Eclipse is "giving" people powers suddenly, negating the evolution cause. I think for some reason the Eclipse had some sort of effect on humans that either sped up the development of their abilities and brought them out earlier than normal, and for some reason temporarily took away peoples powers until the eclipse was gone.

I think its sort of like when theres a full moon out, people start to behave differently and act differently on full moons, I forget but theres some sorta saying that goes with a full moon. Something along those lines.

I really dont think the eclipse is directly related to "giving people" powers. I just think its a side event that has an effect.

Again i think you jumped to conclusions too fast with that issue. Never once did I think the eclipse was the reasoning behind powers but an indirect cause or relation to powers. Again I never heard them mention anything about the eclipse being the source of powers.

    • Latest Rufus update improves new Windows 11 install method by Taras Buria Pete Batard, the maker of Rufus, a very popular app for creating bootable Windows (and other OS) media, has released a new beta version of its app. Rufus 4.15 beta is now out, and while it offers no new features, there are all sorts of improvements and fixes, including for the new Windows 11 installation method that was introduced in version 4.14 in early May. The "Silent Windows 11 installation" is a new feature whose goal is to automate operating system installation. All you have to do is boot from the drive, and then Rufus takes over, doing all things for you, such as setting up a new account, skipping ads and prompts, and more. It is a very handy tool, but initially, it had some bugs and issues that required addressing. With version 4.15 beta, Rufus is fixing that, particularly a bug with installation failing at 75%, crashes on Snapdragon X-based PCs, and more. Here is the changelog: Rufus 4.15 beta is now available for download from its GitHub repository. If you have never used Rufus before, you can check out our guide here. It is a very useful utility to have, as it allows you to deal with plenty of Windows 11's annoyances, which are still there, despite Microsoft's ongoing efforts to fix them.
    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.
    • Imagine you still haven't discovered Total Commander that is doing all those things for three decades already...
    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
