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.

    • 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.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • 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.
