[Cancelled] Heroes Season 4 (Volume 5 : Redemption)


Recommended Posts

I was expecting this carnival gang to be a flop but they are quite interesting after this episode.

Yeah I thought it would be silly stuff but I love them the tattoo lady seems to get naked alot as well :shifty:

So I take it Peter is still gimped? God, why did they have to nerf Peter, he isn't an MMO!

Yep can only take one...I thought the had more then one power at first then he said it was suresh and his spiderman powers he took

Rest of Season!

Yeah he did more of a Jackie Chan move IMO. :laugh:

Rappy, I have to ask, why all the pics of Mio with his shirt off? :p

Overall very good episode. I am wondering whats up with Claire's roomate, I mean they showed NOTHING to would lead us to know what happened.. I mean I wonder if it was Gretchin... When they were playing GH, and they started some weird music, I said oh wow she has some power to.. But of course we never seen anymore of her even attempting to use something.

My guess is that Gretchin is a mind reader and told the roommate to jump.

looking at the previews Gretchen is some kind of stalker but I dont think she has a power!

NBC was fourth, it's two-hour "Heroes" (6 million, 2.7) premiere falling 46% from last year's one-hour opener. The show's demo also dropped from its first hour to its second -- not a good sign. At 10 p.m., "The Jay Leno Show" (5.7 million, 1.8) assumed its third-place position and dipped below a 2.0 for the first time.

What did anyone who was highly critical of the previous season think of the premier? No offense to my buds that already expressed their thoughts, but I want an objective opinion.

I was highly critical of the previous two seasons and this one didn't do a damn thing to change my view of the show. I was bored for the majority of the episode; sadly, the most anticipating thing I was looking for was when Claire killed herself and I was hoping the rest of the cast would go out the window with her.

I haven't really enjoyed Heroes since the first season, but I've continued watching it. This premiere was pretty poor in my opinion. I'm not sold on these carnival people at the moment, but I like that Hiro changed something in the past and it looks like more of that could be happening. I say more time travel and epic battles, less teen drama and try to not have about 10 different stories going on.

It's getting a bit repetitive where they stop hunting for people, then Noah decides he wants to hunt people again and wants to do it with someone who has powers. How many times has this happened already?

I'm not going to give up on it just yet, but I did eventually give up on Prison Break after that went down hill and I'm not far off giving up on Heroes.

It's hard to give an objetive opinion but I feel like sending a big "I see what you did there" to the writers. They're obviously back at showing most of the heroes struggling to have normal lives. Which is kind of what they did in season 1, although in season 1 it was more about finding who they were and stuff like that. But the whole "normal people with super powers" seemed to be a good formula. Then we had .. two fights, kinda, which is something we didnt have in the latter half of season 3, I guess because of budgetary constraints.

Other than that, the premiere did nothing to me. I can't take much more of claire trying to be normal. And when HRG was injured I couldn't help but think "use claire's MagicBlood? again !!!!!" but it didnt happen. They've screwed up character development. Except for HRG and Sandra Bennet (and Hiro and Ando to some extent), very few actors can pull off the whole thing. It's not believable. They've "rebooted" the peter character in the past, and now it feels like they've done it again. So it feels like.. dunno. Some other dude that looks like peter but it's not peter.

And dont get me started on the whole sylar inside matt's head thing. Sylar's 'mind' should be inside his own body. I would buy it if parkman could hear sylar's thoughts when in the presence of Nathan. But sylar actually getting into parkman's head? No way.

I was kind of disappointed with those episodes. The carnival people I found interesting and the Sylar/Matt Parkman thing is cool, but the rest was meh. I was expecting something better, next weeks looks good though.

I agree with pretty much all of your criticisms, but I think the sylar inside of matt's head thing is because when he "wiped" sylars brain some memories/his consciousness has somehow been transferred into matts. I wasn't a fan of them scenes though, he seemed to get angry too quickly.

I don't get those tatoo powers... The prison break guy can manipulate tattoos and the girl has some kind of telepathic control over them?

It seems like we are seeing some kind of power augmenting like Ando's supercharge.

Really? I thought it was a definite improvement over Season 3. but we'll see if this continues.

I liked Season 3 and the Premiere last night but I am easily entertained so probably my thoughts don't count for much :)

@Rob yeah on Heroeswiki they are calling it empathy and that Knepper can control Earth elements hence how he controlled the hand that nearly strangled Edgar.

    • I was expecting the end of the world to happen before this game or elder scroll 6 to come out.
    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.
    • I'm aware. That information should have been included in the article, making it more complete and information.

    • Regarding the AI photo, I LOVE AI in that regard, you ask it what you want and it gives you a lovey photo in under a minute, that would taken me an hour to make in photoshop and it wouldn't have looked nearly as good. 2 nights ago I spent a couple hours collaborating with AI.  I did not say write me an article. I would write one or 2  paragraphs, then I would ask it to clean it up so it read better but still keeps the information I was trying to convey.  Rinse repeat.
