Forgotten the name. Anywho...

Really seems like the whole thing's starting to wrap up here...My biggest question right now is: Why does Sylar think he'll explode, Isaac thought Peter would explode, and Peter paint that Ted will explode? Who is gonna explode? Although having Ted and Peter together right there at the end sort of answers the Ted/Peter question...but not the Sylar question.

Also, TOTAL shocker that Nathan's mother helped form Linderman's plans...Still waiting to see if she has a power.

I'm also missing the Haitian, although there was a verbal nod to it..."I find people (...) It's not working right now though." And nice tie-in with Shanti Suresh.

I'm also left wondering who is evil and who is not evil, here. Claire's grandmother and the whole Linderman group are willing to sacrifice the .07%... and Nathan and his mom are willing to sacrifice Peter, in particular.

I haven't read the comics; can someone tell me if they mention Nathan and Peter's mom's involvement in more detail? Also, her name slips my mind, what is it?

Sooo probably post more when the ep finishes filtering through my head.

Angela. And no they don't.

When I'm out of term paper hell, I'll post my thoughts. My LJ has them now, though.

Ep: "The Hard Part." And as I recall, Molly's disease was keeping her from using her power; it wasn't the Haitian.

SOME of us don't have termpapers. ...Because some of us can't afford school anymore. Aw. Now I'm depressed. Oooh, chocolate! Better now!

So! As I was mentioning on the 1x20 thread - Sylar definitely seems to have a way to counter Hiro's power now, or at least to move around within his little bubble of frozen time. It didn't seem to be a struggle or even a surprise for him - He just looked over at Hiro and then started moving. Perhaps an extension of his telekinetic powers? Or he really did find another spacetime bender and melonballed his brain?

Actually, I don't think he moved until Hiro touched him with the sword. IIRC, when Peter or Hiro have frozen time in the past they can take someone out of the freeze by touching them. I think that when Hiro hesitated, touching Sylar with the sword, that he pulled him out of the effect thus allowing him to grab the kitana. Interest though is the fact that he didn't demolecularize it like he has other things, he snapped it. Perhaps the sword has special properties?

But it wasn't only Sylar that unfroze.. we also saw his dead mom fall over. I suspect it was just Hiro chickening out after looking at Sylar's face.

What do I get the impression that things will end up happening like they did in "5 years gone"?

I didn't notice the mom slumping to the floor. And I REALLY thought, for just a moment there, that Sylar was going to grab the sword and shove it into his own gut (while he was screaming "Do it!") in remorse for what he did to his mom...Although he was OK enough with it to paint in her blood a minute later. This show is pretty gory for basic cable in the USA, don't you think? I'm proud...our baby censors are growing up.

What I found interesting is the juxtaposition of two monsters and their relationships with their mothers. We see Sylar and Nathan BOTH seeking for the approval of their mothers and not getting the reinforcement they both truly desire. This is leading them down the path of being completely inhuman. Sylar has already given a number of mutants a permanent moon-roof yet shows remorse at his potentially nuking the city, and Nathan is willing to sacrifice his own brother and that ".07%" known as New York simply to put himself in power to "do good"....as HE sees it of course. It's obvious that both have been shaped by the same great evil....the expectations of their parents.

There's a deep truth there. Or else it's the burrito I just ate.

Beyond that, it's not even cable. It's on NBC, a broadcast network.

Who says anyone has to be evil?
Characters do what they belive is right, or what they think is in their own best interest (not always the same thing.)
If they're evil than that's not very interesting and they really cease to be characters.

The fact that Syler is a psycopath and Linderman is a megaolomaniac is beside the point, they're both doing what they belive is right. Can't say much about Hiro's father or Nathan & Peter's mother at this point as we don't yet understand what The Company is all about, but I imagine it's supposed to do nasty thing for the greater good and possibly a tidy profit.

I get distinct evil vibes from The Man who until Recently was Benett's Boss, though.

And um...this is a really stupid question, I realize, but what's the difference between basic cable and broadcast network?

Broadcast network is free. Basic cable you have to pay for.
