Heroes - Season 3
- Thread starter 101
- Start date
I think we can safely say that Heroes is back on track.
Another great improvement over the last 2 seasons. Nathan is back to being the character he should be, rather than changing from episode to episode without reason. Claire is no longer anywhere near as annoying and self-important as they'd been making her, constantly delivering cheap, Hollywood lines.
Heroes kicks ass again, and about time.

I gave up on this, has it got good again?
Guys I'm kinda lost.Has there been new episodes since the episode where Nathan Petrelli was talking to the president of USA in a limo ?
They brought back the main writer from the first season, and he's been in charge of the last 2 episodes. Both of which have been better than any other episodes this season, by a country mile.
I was about 1 crap episode away from giving up on the show, but they've turned it around. The way it's shot, picking a moment to hold on a character out in the rain or covered in shadow, the depth and humanism of the characters and the writing is hugely improved already.
The scene with Parkman and Daphne in Paris were cool, very romantic of him.
Last two episodes have been good. Hopefully it continues. Good to see Sylar getting back to what he does best.
Yeah, they've been decent. Kieron's aged a bit hasn't he?
^Puberty is a fine thing. Good episode, but they've only got 3 left til the end of the season.
i endorse this post
I actually thought the latest episode was boring and longdrawn.
I get it that the episode was important to show the different bonds being connected/reconnected, but it just felt a bit forced and dull.

It was necessary though. All season, all the writers have done is try to take the characters on different, absurd adventures with nothing really holding it all together. None of the characters had clear enough motives for their actions, as they in fact changed their minds from week to week if they were going to be good or evil. It was complete rubbish for a while there.
This episode established some of the relationships that were vital in the first season; Claire trying to come to terms with her powers, wanting to find answers and guidance from her biological father, and of course Peter, the son who wants nothing more than to help people - with or without the powers he's been given - but always finds his mother getting in his way with her secrets and hidden agendas. It put Sylar back on the track he was on in that season too, wanting to rid the world of people with powers, thinking he's somehow doing it for the right reasons, while also wanting merely to be the last one standing.
This episode was about re-establishing relationships, it was also about progressing characters, rather than story. It was completely necessary, because that was one thing the show had lost. It began as a show about people, ones with extraordinary, remarkable abilities perhaps, but still most importantly, they were people. This episode went some way to getting that back, and I thought it was done really well.
Epic episode.
You've watched the last two episodes and think "decent" is an overreaction?
I can't believe you slag off LOST no end but have the nerve to call this shit decent.
Last episode was cringe worthy. You don't do all the brainless action in one episode and relationship stuff in another. The whole point of such a show is to have them complement each other. I have seen a gazllion TV Shows. And this is one of very commonly used retorts by creators when they lost the plot. None of the relationship duos made any sense as well. They should have paired Angela with Nathan. Peter is nothing like Angela contrary to her remarks, it is Nathan who is/was being manipulative like his mother. I missed the point of the Claire-Nathan stuff too. Sylar-baldies stuff made this episode barely watchable.You've watched the last two episodes and think "decent" is an overreaction?
And lets not start about the sister revelation. Can't tie up the story so let's invent a new character. Pathetic.

Lost is shit. It's all over the fecking show, like I've said a million times. At least you can follow this. I don't mind Heroes, mainly because I like the X-men cartoons. And there's not really that much difference.
But that doesn't mean that I think it's brilliant. In fact, I've missed a few episodes. . .and you won't see me in here discussing the show in any sort of detail. These drama series are hardly top quality entertainment. But you and your mates do seem to have a hard on for the worst TV series the world has ever seen. Lost.
I gave up on Episode 18, deserves a second chance now does it?
Well, if you watch Lost and think it's better than your mum's milk, then yes.
I don't have any hard on for LOST, feel free to exaggerate though. In other thread, people accused me of criticising it too much. But it is without any question better than Heroes which has been utter shit since the end of season 1. If you want to watch quality drama series then watch the Wire, Dexter and Sopranos. Watching Sopranos now, quality stuff.
I don't watch much TV to be honest. I did watch Lost and 24 but I can't be arsed with either of them now. I almost stopped watching Heroes and all. . .but if I'm around when it's on, I usually watch it, but there's never any compulsion.
And Lost is the worst series, ever. A decade from now, they'll be taking the piss out of it, much like Dallas and Dynasty.
It's unfortunate that Heroes became enjoyable at the END of the season. Sylar's new ability makes things quite unpredictable I feel, which is a nice change.
I thought the most recent episode (the one just shown in America and here on BBC Three) was pretty poor.
SPOILERS
Considering how much that guy hates people with abilities I very much doubt he'd suddenly work with Sylar, particularly given that Sylar killed scores of his men. Also, giving Sylar the shapeshifter ability means he's going to be near-unstoppable now if he ever does decide just to shit stuff up again.
And the whole business with Peter praying was absolute dogshite. They've always shied away from making a judgement as to whether these powers are religious or not, considering it'll alienate members of their audience whichever way they spin it, so to have him on the receving end of such blatant miracles galls a bit.
The episode before that I liked, though. I think Nikki/Jessica/Traci is finally dead, though - I know Ali Larter wanted to leave the series. But I did like that Rebel was Micah. I thought it was him all along (as no doubt most of us did), but it was good to see they're not just ignoring the character. Also, the whole bit with Daphne was excellently done. Whilst it was obvious it was Parkman projecting a vision whilst they were in Paris, I didn't think the bit where she woke up was a vision. And I definitely didn't see the reason for the vision (I thought he was just trying to win her back), until it cut to the hospital room and she died. Wow.
But at least it's getting decent again, even if the most recent episode was a bit of a let down.

The last episode to air in US was a filler. The good thing is I didn't feel like watching it anymore and had to force myself to do so. I can drop it off the list for next season.
It was awful.
Spoilerific opinion below:
Anybody else think there is a possibility that Sylar might kill his new "partner" and go catching/killing alone?
I didn't mind the latest episode I think it just tried to re-establish the Petrelli relationships. Perhaps the vision that Angela had will reveal that some/all of them will have a big part to play in the finale

It was the worst of the series so far.
And so unrealistic.
(Like the rest of it is very realistic.....)
SPOILER
But it's true what's been said already - what kind of idiot would allow Sylar to work with him, let alone a shape shifting Sylar.
And where did this guy come from anyway - has he been mentioned before? It annoys me how Heroes throws new things in as though they are things people in the series already know about, but the viewers haven't a clue.
And how convenient that he turned into Sylar just in time to be shot so that they think it's Sylar who is dead.
The Nathan and Claire scenes were just boring, as were the Peter and Angela scenes, even though they may have had more relevance.
And what about the scenes from two seasons ago, with Sylar and his child he just happened to name Noah? What was all that about? Fair enough, that may have been a scene of what might have been, but why bother to call the child Noah, as though there was a story behind it.
And so unrealistic.

I will say that Claire was looking fitter than normal in the scene with Nathan, in Mexico.
Decent episode, Sylar will end up killing that guy though

You're all an episode behind, it seems. The latest episode aired in the US on Monday night, and was available for download yesterday.
Another good episode, as has been said, shame it's happened so late in the season.

What? Pretty much everyone's seen it. It ends with Noah turning up at Coyote Sands.I have to agree with Tibs, Claire is looking fitter than usual.
Erm, everybody so far has only commented on the espode that aired last week
Hence people talking about Nathan and Claire in Mexico, re-establishing the Petrelli relationships, and the shape-shifter changing into Sylar in time to be killed.
Pointless argument, but anyway, the latest episode was still about re-establising Petrelli relationships i.e. Peter with Nathan, and Angela making them work for the 'answers.' It was a pretty slow Sylar episode, other than Noah finding out Sylar was a shape shifter.
Only 3 episodes left. I can see those episodes being very rushed.
Where the feck has the Haitian gone to?
Haiti?
Right back to the roots of square one, with Sylar as the main villain (along with Danko) and a Company. Can't help but feel a little underwhelmed actually.
Thought the latest episode was a bit crap to be honest. Young Linderman's voice was terrible, really off-putting. Crazy cat lady was stupid. And why was Chandra working with people with abilities in 1961, seems a bit of a contradiction to what was set up in the first season when he only had theories and was amazed when he found Sylar.
I imagine the first person whose memory they(the Company that was formed in 1961) wiped would be Chandra Suresh.
Didn't Suresh get the name of the location from an old file of his father?
Anyway, the last epi was full of so many holes, I can't be arsed to pick it apart again.
