Quote from: Quince on February 02, 2007, 03:12:25 PM
I'm trying to figure out why the psychiatrist thinks that Nikki can just "let Jessica talk" ... she's never seemed to have any control before. Silly doctor.

I also missed something somewhere ... when did Hiro start having trouble using his powers? Any why is he convinced the sword is the key to getting them back?

Jessica would just kill the shrink anyway. She is not really much of a talker.

I didnt see anything to indicate it before they dropped it into dialog in episode 13.
(Hiro's sword)

i think Hiro's losing his powers is more of a him losing faith in himself more than the powers themselves not working. After he failed to save the waitress he went back in time to try to save he's been much more depressed about his failure to do so. From then on he's gone from the whole "look what i can do!" gung ho attitude to a more "i'm going to fail" mentality so since he has this in his head he's subconsciously going to fail so its like he is powerless so his power is now "fading"

but now he's fired up about the sword so its become an anchor for him. he can;t see himself funsctioning without the sword to aid him so he is having even more trouble using his powers now until he gets it.

Hiro feels he has had less control since he lost the cute little redhead from Texas. He knows he is getting the sword, so he looked up the sword, found the legend of the sword, and he ( I believe mistakenly ) thinks he needs the sword to focus his powers. I think he will be forced to use his power before he gets the sword, thereby empowering him and increasing his self confidence.

As for Jess and Nikki, sometimes Jess forces her way forward, or Nikki fights her back, but I do believe she can "relax" herself, and allow Jess to come forward if she is willing.

Thank you all my wonderful Geek friends.

want to catch up on a missed episode?

Regarding Hiro and his power. Due to the last two or three episodes, I've got an interesting theory, involving... someone else. I'm curious to see if/how it pans out.

tanare · March 07, 2007, 03:53:22 AM

just want to mention that waiting til april 23rd or whaetever it is for the last three or so episodes for the season is much too long a wait- i mean didn't they just have a break last month...

yeah yeah may sweeps and all

i mean i must find out that Sylar is really Peter's and Nathan's long lost half brother who is the offspring of Hassain guy and Petrelli mom, who had an affair with Linderman who is Nikki/Jessica's real father who worked with Sulu in a sleective breeding program which produced Hiro who is actually Matt's second cousin three times removed all of which is being monitored by HRG who is secretly the real head of the organization that he's pretending to be an underling for.

see just as simple as figruing out what;s going on on Lost

Alwynn · March 07, 2007, 04:00:48 AM

It was SOOOO good! I'm SUPER-PEEVED (that's my superpower) that we have to wait until April 23.

Korg, are you thinking Ando really has the power?

Linderman reminded me of someone. I thought for sure the screen would go black and we'd hear BLAMBLAM. I loved the look on Petrelli's face when the elevator started to go down instead of up.

And the whole thing with HRG I knew as soon as she turned into Simone that she was going to become the wife. The comment of "I love your hair" and then we see her next she's playing with her hair, then her cell phone rang and it wasn't the barking dogs. He's, as we say in my circle, fooked.

I had no idea Claire was a pickpocket. Its a good thing she's invulnerable, though, after getting hit by that bus (I'm your grandmother / jawdrop).

Lastly, the thing that annoyed me about Simone's death was that she could have been saved if Peter had remembered he could STOP TIME since he had met Hiro. Future Hiro, at that. The one with full control of his powers.. when he stopped the train to tell him to save the cheerleader, to save the world.

I can't wait until April 23!

tanare · March 07, 2007, 05:45:29 AM

makes you wonder if grandma is in cahoots with Sulu, HRG and the other guy who's name i can never remember's business. Nathan spawns wee child, folks vanish, sulu ends up giving claire to HRG, grandma seems to have known all about claire when she was talking to Nathan an episode or two earlier. Hassain guy saying he works for a higher power than HRG and then calling grandma before they both show up at peter's apartment speaking french like they were on the phone at the rest stop.

i say grandma is one of the bigwigs and protecting nathan and peter from the group since i don't recall either of them being chased by HRG's group at any point which means they didn't know about them until possibly when claire and HRG visit peter in jail (don't recall if HRG was in the room when they exchanged powers stories)

Peter vs. Sylar round 2 is gonna be great i think.

Syllestrae · March 07, 2007, 03:14:22 PM

I'm catching up on old episodes now (I started watching about half way through the season).

In episodes 4/5, HRG and the Ethiopian try to abduct Nathan Petrlli (when he's in Vegas).

- Syll

tanare · March 08, 2007, 05:06:59 AM

oh yeah forgot about that Syll, that's the one where Hiro meets "FLYING MAN!" <holds hands up in the air in a 'touchdown' gesture>

Wroethgar · March 10, 2007, 09:44:13 PM

whoah.. maybe I'm dumb ... help me.. HRG? Hassain? All kinds of names I don't get, and I watch every episode twice...

someone PM or something?

I feel stupid.

Alwynn · March 11, 2007, 05:53:41 AM

HRG = Horn Rimmed Glasses, Claire's "papa"

Wroethgar · March 11, 2007, 09:15:29 AM

OK.. did ya'll get that from other message boards or somethin? This being the only place I do much of anything online..

tanare · March 11, 2007, 09:22:55 AM

Hassain might actually be Haitian ie. from Haiti as well, the guy who can take everyone's memories away that never talked until recently. i got some of the nicknames like HRG off the TV Guide becuase it was a couple episodes before they told you his name i think...and i still have no clue what it is even now though i know they've said it.

Wroethgar · March 11, 2007, 12:05:22 PM

ok, Haitian, got it.

Lyrima · March 11, 2007, 04:45:40 PM

>.<

I'm not looking!

but since this seems to be such a favorite, I'm gonna start watching. Will someone please tell me if I can get this on comcast on-demand or in Blockbuster please?

Alwynn · March 11, 2007, 05:09:20 PM

I think they're on the NBC website.

Lyrima · March 11, 2007, 05:18:43 PM

eh? you watch on a computer?

/blink
