[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.

    • Anthropic accuses Alibaba of using 25,000 fake accounts to copy Claude's capabilities by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic has accused Alibaba of using nearly 25,000 fraudulent accounts to extract capabilities from Claude on a huge scale. According to a report from Reuters, Anthropic told US lawmakers that operators linked to Alibaba and the company’s Qwen AI team generated 28.8 million exchanges with Claude between April 22 and June 5, 2026. That is a lot of Claude conversations, but Anthropic says this was not ordinary chatbot use. The company believes the accounts were part of a coordinated effort to collect answers that could help train or improve rival AI systems. The alleged campaign reportedly focused on some of Claude’s most valuable skills, including software development, multi-step reasoning, and agentic tasks. In practical terms, that means getting an AI model to plan and complete work across several stages rather than simply answering a single question. This is called 'distillation,' where AI companies use outputs from a larger model to train a smaller and cheaper one. The smaller model learns to imitate useful parts of the more capable system without needing the same amount of computing power. The distillation process isn't automatically suspicious, but the problem comes when one company gathers another provider's outputs without permission and at an industrial scale. Also, this does not mean Alibaba obtained Claude’s source code, model weights, or original training data. Instead, Anthropic claims the accounts repeatedly asked Claude carefully designed questions and collected the answers. Those answers could then be used as training material for another model. Anthropic has made similar accusations against DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax earlier this year. As Neowin previously reported, Anthropic said those three companies collectively generated more than 16 million Claude exchanges through roughly 24,000 accounts. Anthropic says the new campaign produced almost twice as many exchanges in a matter of weeks. Anthropic reportedly told lawmakers that the campaign could help Chinese AI developers approach the capabilities of its Mythos Preview model. Mythos is focused on advanced cybersecurity work, including finding and exploiting complex software vulnerabilities. via Reuters | Photo via DepositPhotos.com

    • I don't think it was ever a big question. In fact, I don't think anyone ever asked about how clocks work on Mars.
    • I don't know what the price difference is between a 5GbE and a 10GbE part, but it seems that putting a 10GbE port in might be a bit more 'standard'.
