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?

    • It depends, but it's also going to push more adoption of open source AI models that can run locally, I'm seeing a pattern among the US and China when it comes to closed and open source AI models, they close when they feel they have the advantage, open up when they feel they don't. This has little to do with security and everything to do with control, the irony is that the ones that do go open and get the community behind them are the ones that have the real control, hence why we keep seeing this seesaw from closed to open. Ultimately, it's far too dangerous to let any one country or corporation to control AI, which is why open source AI or AI you can run locally on your hardware is very likely going to be the future of AI over the long run, this is especially the case as AI becomes more powerful and useful for user, privacy, security and censorship will become more of an issue for users and businesses.
    • A person should only be required to click through to an article if they want to know more details. The headline should give basic facts. A basic fact would include the name of the service being shut down.
    • That would probably be a good outcome, but it would also require other "features" be changed to comply, such as Auto play, scrolling, and advertising. Having the laws shift these platforms back to a socially responsible and useful places is a benefit for everyone. The addictive nature is the problem, and while many blame the individual, psychologists would suggest the platform is using a well trodden playbook to hook in more revenue..
    • It is in fact being discontinued in the US in July.
    • It was a rather nice rant as I rather dislike when people support the shitifcation of the Internet. My comment also factually applied the definition of "clickbait' to this headline unlike your comment. I have been reading this site for some 20 years now so I will call them out when they are doing carp they shouldn't be doing but thanks for your concern. You can't even do a search by headline anymore to do a quick search to find something because most of the titles lack all the relevant keywords that should be there.
