[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.

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com AI companies often rely on readily available internet content to train their chatbots and provide users with instant answers. This method of AI training is fast and relatively inexpensive, but using a website’s content without permission or compensation is not something publishers like to see, and this is exactly why Microsoft and OpenAI are now being sued. As reported by Bloomberg, a group of publishers that collectively own nearly 400 newspapers has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. The coalition argues that the two companies scraped their content to build AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Copilot without paying any compensation. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, argues that while AI products have generated billions of dollars in market value using publishers’ work, none of that value has been shared with the publishers. The plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages and injunctive relief for alleged copyright infringement and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. “Defendants systematically and secretly crawled the Publishers’ websites—including content behind paywalls and other access restrictions—and copied the Publishers’ articles, stories, and other original works onto their own servers without authorization,” the complaint states. The publishers also described the AI boom as a “death knell for local journalism” if AI companies that scrape content for free are not held accountable. Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and his law firm, Platkin LLP, are representing the publishers. “Our models empower innovation, are trained on publicly available data, and are grounded in fair use,” OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri told Bloomberg. This is not the first lawsuit involving the unauthorized use of publishers’ content by AI firms, but it is one of the largest coalitions ever formed against the free use of content by AI chatbots. In 2024, OpenAI and Microsoft also faced a similar lawsuit from eight newspapers that claimed AI products were benefiting from their content without permission.
