Heroes

[hils]

ZOMG!!!

All the way through this episode I knew it was building up to Noah's death, but I convinced myself that somehow it wasn't going to happen. Has Isaac ever been wrong? No. Noah died and I was sad

THEN...the ending. ZOMG! He lives! Huzzah!!!

Wow, so Claire's blood has the power to raise the dead. Oh, the potential. She has to be related to Adam somehow. Right? Their powers are identical.

I loved the bit just before Noah got shot where he was asking West about his car. LOL. Awesome!

The rest of this episode wasn't really of interest to me. Matt has become his dad. Oh dear!

Hiro has found out that Adam is alive and that Adam killed his dad. Oh dear!

NOAH LIVES!!! YAY!

Hehe!

I think I need a Noah icon. He is pretty much my favourite character these days. Although I am increasingly amused by Bob. I loved his eyerolling when Elle asked if she could keep Mohinder. Hehe! Incidentally, did we know Elle was Bob's daughter? Did I miss that from a previous episode

NOAH LIVES!!!

Yes, we knew that Elle was Bob's "daughter" - I suspect she's like Claire - not a blood daughter.
And if they didn't bring back HRG I would have tracked down Tim Kring and hit him over the head with my tv.
If anyone should have died it should have been Mohinder - grrrrr....

HRG has been my favorite character since the first season. I literally screamed at my television when that shot rang out! In spite of the painting, and the way they kept saying how Isaac's paintings always come true, I never seriously entertained the possibility of them killing off HRG. As soon as I saw his hand in the bed with the I.V., I screamed again, in relief! LOL!

I pretty much hate Mohinder now, and I don't think I'm getting over it.

I think we suspected Elle was Bob's daughter, but we didn't know until she called him Daddy in this episode.

Right up until the last minute, I kept expecting West to change sides and reveal himself as a plant for the Company. In spite of how skeevy I found him before this episode, I guess I'm going to have to admit he appears to be a good guy. :) I loved that car moment too! Male bonding sweetness FTW!

Okay, so I've just spoiled myself for this episode. For some reason, I thought you were talking about the last episode. Yeah, I agree with you about Claire being related to Adam, but wouldn't that mean that West is somehow related to Nathan? I was thinking about that when I speed-watched 2.05-2.08. Oh well, off to download this now.

I've been waiting ALL day for you to post! I so knew you were going to react that way! *smirk*

I'm really starting to groove on Elle and KB is losing the Veronica Mars persona. And yeah, we were pointed in the direction that Elle was Bob's daughter back when she went after Peter and she was on the phone doing the "Yes, I know, no it won't happen again, yes father." conversation (or at least that's the conclusion I came to).

The ethical dilemma's - this episode was filled them. Hiro nearly playing God, he has the power, but changing destiny is the wrong thing to do. He did it once, and that's what killed his father (though paradox, if he hadn't his father and himself wouldn't exist!).

Ethical dilemma two - Matt's new found powers... I can see how it'd be easy to go astray with them, like manipulating his boss, or forcing information out of people. As a cop to both be able to read minds, and command them is a tremendous boon, as one of this Generation's heroes, it may be what stands in the way of ultimate loss. However, like Hiro's powers, if you used it wrongly, the consequences would be dire. I was reading a Star Wars novel once, it's set in the new Republic where Luke's set up his new Jedi Academy - there's this guy who's been able to use the force all his life, mostly he just got a bird to dance on one foot occasionally, it took him a long time to realise that he was exercising the dark side of the force and that there was in fact no good in what he was doing. Yet he couldn't see any bad either. It's even harder if you can see good - which brings us round to Lord of the rings and what Gandalf tells Frodo - I would use this power for good, blah, blah, blah!

Ethical dilemma three - Claire's blood (Adams too for that matter), who deserves it? They've saved Noah (and can I say huzzah for that, and hope that Noah rebalances now that part of the prophecy has been saved), however is he more deserving than the guy caught in cross fire at the local BuyMore? Is he more valuable to humanity than the diplomat who died in a car crash? More vital than a doctor who contracts a disease as he works to save others?

So many questions - just how far can someone with these abilities go? What kind of morality do they have to develop to deal with them responsibly? And how do you deal with the temptation? Heroes isn't the only place these kind of ethical dilemma's are covered - there's also Pushing Daisies. Where Ned has to distance himself from people, for fear he'll use his powers and bring someone back from the dead, at a cost of another life. He of course fails (spectacularly considering he brings back the very gorgeous lovable Chuck), and thus has to live with killing a man.

You've no idea how happy I am now that Heroes is back on track (I was enjoying it - but I didn't realise how much I missed season 1 till now - and that shows in that there's been no long comments for a few weeks).
