Heroes Volume 4 : Fugitives


Recommended Posts

I already give up the idea that this show have the potential of intelligent plot like that of Lost, at all.

Those of you keep hoping that PLOTS make up for this show (like Lost), Just STOP! It will NOT be. NEVER will! It's NOT that type of show!!!

When I watch Heroes, Smart plot is LEAST of my concerns.

If not seeing some cool Action or Use of cool powers, I don't know what I even watch this show for myself, either.

The BIGGEST point for me, for watching this show is about Powers and action, period.

So, seriously, all that plot NONsense in Volume 3 "Villians" makes NO difference to me, whatsoever.

Seeing Peter, Sylar, other folks using powers to their fullest more than makes up for the lack of plot, for me! :D

Well the shows all about powers. So I'd guess everyone takes that as a reason they watch it.

Plus with the abundance of super hero/comic book movies lately its come around at a good time where people want to see gifted people weekly.

who comes back then? and wtf does Sylar want Claire as a GF =p

Well that actually makes sense. After all, if either of them married someone else, they would watch the one they loved grow old and die. But if they are together, then they would always have each other. But that would really make more sense in like 100 years after everyone else is gone.

Tonight's Episode:Tim Kring tells us that this week's and last week's eps are a bit of a loop: "At the end of the last episode we saw that Sylar was impersonating Nathan Petrelli, and tonight's episode 24 explains how he got to be Nathan Petrelli at the end of episode 23. It sort of rewinds a little bit." And despite the face-swapping confusion, Nathan and Sylar do go head-to-head before the end of the season. Says Kring, "You will see a face-off. You can feel the two lines converging toward each other, very much, in the next episode. There's still Building 26 and Danko to deal with, and those bad guys to put down, and then the whole stopping of Sylar's nefarious plan. All of our characters are involved. The season finale is the best episode we've done in a really, really long time."

Bad Matt? According to Greg Grunberg, "The last two episodes are absolutely huge. My character is asked to do something, and does something, that is incredibly dark and results in the demise of another character. It's not expected. It's pretty sick. Torture is involved. It's someone we all know. It felt great to tap into my dark side."

The Old Ones: Based of the success of last week's "1961" episode, look for lots more in season four about young Angela, Alice and the rest of the Company founders in their idealistic youth. Says Kring, "We didn't plan on it until we saw how good '1961' came out. We all fell in love with those actors who were playing the younger versions of them. We are devising season four to go back to that timeframe, since lots of interesting things happened at the beginning of the formation of the Company. I found it a really effective way to dig into the mythology of the show."

The Path to Redemption: For us fans, season three isn't done yet, but the writers are already back working on season four, and according to Bryan Fuller it really will be a brave new era for the show. Bryan tells us, "Fugitives was such a dark chapter in the history of Heroes, so we look at Redemption as a unifying theme for next season. We're going to see redemption for all of the characters in one respect or another. Our goal going into season four is taking every character and making that character's story evolve into an entire series. We just want the smorgasbord of Heroes to be as satisfying for everybody." Smorgasbord or no, among those Heroes getting a special treatment next year is Masi Oka's Hiro Nakamura. Bryan Fuller says that, "The Hiro story for season four is the best story we've ever come up with for Hiro. It's so emotional and exciting and adventurous."

DEAD OR ALIVE?

Daphne Milbrook: Sadly, Brea Grant is really gone and really not coming back. Kring tells us, "Alas, poor Daphne. She has met her demise. There are always ways of breaking time and space, but she is indeed dead."

Claude and Adam: Fan favorites Invisible Claude and Adam Monroe are also not likely to appear any time soon. Despite rumors that Adam might back in the finale, Kring says, "We felt like we killed him in a very satisfying way, and there really had to be some finality on the show, or else we lose all credibility. His death by Arthur Petrelli was pretty hard to come back from, so, as far as him being alive in the present-day story, that's a tall order."

Tracy Strauss: On the other hand, Ali Larter's Tracy, while seemingly dead, does return. Says Kring, "It looks fairly dire for Tracy Strauss' character, except if you stop and rewind the last couple of seconds when she was melting down the grate you may see some indication that the impossible could happen with that character." Bryan Fuller spills, "I think Ali was so underused on this show, and watching the show as a fan, I was frustrated because Ali Larter is a really good actress, and she's really engaging. So I was glad to write an episode where we get to focus on her character, because I adore her, so it's fun to write for somebody that gets you excited about the story." Will Ali be playing Barbara when she returns? "No," says Bryan. Can melted, shattered Tracy really come back together? "Watch the finale," replies Bryan. Mark your calendars, kids.

That episode was really good!, loved the back and forth shapeshifting! and next week omg it's going to be Nathan I am sure but Sylar's uisng his electric it seems lets hope Peter gets a touch in!

I thought last week the writers said that Sylar could shape shift, but the clothes wouldn't change with his shape shifting. Then today they show him shape shifting into Nathan and the suit. Yay for consistency! (if my memory is correct)

Matt Parkman is ****ing with Hiro's brain

Nathan will probably be dead

I have no idea what's going to happen to Peter

For a person who is supposedly able to figure/understand things out, Sylar's identity crisis seems a little odd.

I liked the episode but expected a little more out of it, especially since it was hyped a few weeks beforehand. However, I'm still looking out to next week's episode and I will watch again, just as always.

It was good to see that Sylar did save Micah. I wonder what's going to happen with Danco now Sylar knows his a backstabber, literally.

So like, how the hell did Sylar not be effected by the knife in the back of his head?

    • If you can't spell a simple word that 2nd graders learn, your entire argument is suspect.
    • And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
    • "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
