View Full Version : A finale NOT worth 10 months of hype!

I feared that the Heroes finale would not live up to my expectations. What bothers me the most is that the things that made least amount of sense were the usage of their powers!

If Peter was going to explode than all Nate should have done from the start is give him sleeping pills and fly his brother to an isolated area like a remote island or northern Canada!! Not wait till the last minute to think of some "genious" plan just to put himself at risk of dying along with Nate's explosion!

Sylar died by Hiro simply runing up to him and stabbing him?!...I'm sorry but even though that was what the future entailed in the comic book, it still is quite lame since Sylar could have easily went invisible and/or melted Hiro's metal sword...upon a million other things! It would've been better to have Hiro to use his powers to appear right in front of Sylar and catch him off guard by stabbing him immedialtely.

And while I'm on the subject of Sylar...10 MONTHS and we still have absolutely ZERO clue what he does with people's brains or how he even got the ability to cut stuff using his finger!!

I was bothered about Parkman getting killed off simply because he was my favorite character. But even after I quickly forgave that, I was still left upset at this unworthy finale of a show that could have made it so much more interesting. I'm not even excited about next season now. When it comes, it comes...:\

I know people are so caught up with Heroes being such a huge success but this finale did not tie up many loose ends. And the Hiro cliffhanger didn't redeem it.

#1. It's a television show. Relax

#2. "If Peter was going to explode than all Nate should have done from the start is give him sleeping pills and fly his brother to an isolated area like a remote island or northern Canada!!"

--would that really have made an exciting climax to build up to? Drop Peter off on an island. There has to be a storyline to build up to, and I don't think Nathan giving Peter Tylenol PM would have been much to look forward to

#3. since Sylar could have easily went invisible

--Sylar doesn't have the power of invisibility. where are you getting this from?

#4. It would've been better to have Hiro to use his powers to appear right in front of Sylar and catch him off guard by stabbing him immedialtely

--maybe you can write your own knock off show and petition for a prime time slot

#5. 10 MONTHS and we still have absolutely ZERO clue what he does with people's brains or how he even got the ability to cut stuff using his finger!!

--Sylar eats people's brains. Clues have been dropped in the series, the writers have said it in interviews and many posts have been made on this subject. The ability to cut stuff with his finger is telekenisis.

#6. I was bothered about Parkman getting killed off

--We do not know if Parkman is dead. He was being taken away in an ambulance when we last saw him. It is possible he is still alive and will be fine.

#7. I'm not even excited about next season now

--too bad for you. Maybe you can tune into the World's Strongest Man competitions on ESPN now.

Many wouldnt think flying his brother in the sky and exploding with him would be something to look foward to.

I thought he killed Peter's invisible friend and took his powers. If not, pssh oh well, I'm still right that Sylar had a huge arsenal of abilities to stop Hiro after being fully aware he was lunging himself towards him.

Kind of sucks that they didn't put something this vital into the show since it goes beyond the believability limits of the show even. And I haven't seen any clues that Sylar eats the brains other than using my own common knowledge that there are but only so many things he could be doing with brains. A clue would be Sylar salivating when ripping someones head open.

They did put it into the show. I know at one point Molly said that he eats peoples brains. Get your facts straight before you go on such a stupid rant

No, seeing Sylar salivating when ripping someones head open would be something you'd see in a cheesy Rob Zombie horror flick.

You should pay more attention to the shows. In one episode, Sylar says "I'd like to sink my teeth into that", referring to another hero. And in one of the most recent episodes, Molly says that the boogieman cuts your head open and eats your brain. Besides these two clues, the writer of the show did an interview in which he said that Sylar digests peoples power.

You obviously haven't payed enough attention to the show to make a comment about the finale being a letdown. That's easy to see when you make comments about Sylar being invisible and the 10 month comment about not knowing what Sylar does with brains. It's not a sermon. Point made

Also to add to all this, The reason his brother didnt drop him off on an Island was because he WANTED him to explode. Peter exploding = Nathan becoming president. At the last minute he had a change of heart. Thats why he didnt do it before. Also as far as wer can tell maybe Hiro stopped time and ran at sylar, we have seen from the past that Hiro can stop time and move around in his enviroment. And as far as sylar not using his powers, lets think about this for a second. Sylar painted the future, we see this in the loft we also see in Sylars eyes that he is seeing things happen right before he "dies". He even made the comment you are the villain and I am the hero. So with that being said how do we not know that maybe Sylar was just provoking Peter to become radioactive, maybe Sylar saw that Hiro wouldnt kill him and if he made Peter blow up then he would be out of the way to become president, which was his new goal. There is a lot the writers left for us to deduct, if you want a show that dosent make you think go watch American Idol.

The time for Hiro to disappear/reappear & dissappear with Ando seemed long to me but apparently that is faster than Sylar can react. So I took Hiro stabbing Sylar to be just as immediate. It just appears like it takes time because we see the scene from Hiro's point of view just as we always do when he stops time. With a long sword, Hiro can't really be in Sylar's face and stab, he has to do what he did, which is lunge forward to stab. But the action is meant to be immediate just like in the saving Ando scene. I thought that was one of the main points to having the Hiro vs. Sylar speed test scene in Isaac's loft, to show that Hiro in fact does move faster than Sylar.

Ok heres something to think about:

Anyone who openly believes that by being able to move objects with your mind (telekinesis) you are also able to saw things obviously is unfamilliar with the term "telekinesis". Adding things to an already established definition won't make it true.

And please do NOT embarass yourself by telling me what to post on this message board while breaking two rules doing it.

The closest I have came to watching a reality show is Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch"
And I humbely admit I got drawn into "Who Wants To Be A Superhero" last season.
But it won't happen again after I found out it was scripted all the way.

From Wikapedia.com

Psychokinesis (Greek ψυχή + κίνησις, literally spirit-movement")[1][2] or PK, also known as telekinesis[3] (, literally "distant-movement" referring to telekinesis) or TK, is the proposed paranormal ability of the mind to influence matter, time, space, or energy without the use of any currently known type of physical means. [4] For instance, psychokinesis might be used to distort or move an object,[5] or to influence a random number generator.[6] [7]

Last time I checked Humans were made up of matter[

And this proves my point. Telekinesis is the ability to move objects with one's mind (as stated in my last post). NOT that one can saw someone's head with their mind ...:\ Sorry Mr. Wikipedia, no dice.

Interesting, I'm being bashed for knowing the definition of something and using it in the proper context. Nice, real mature.
:rolleyes:

fzbandit

the definition says "the ability to influence matter without the use of physical means". Influence can mean more than just moving an object. The definition of influence is "to affect or alter by indirect or intangible means." Sure sounds like cutting a head open with your mind is altering matter without the use of physical means.

Why can someone not be able to saw someones head with their mind? It says right there in fine print to move matter with your mind. Human tissue/skin is made up of matter. So there is no reason someone could not move the skin apart with their mind, dont think of it as much as sawing, think of it more as ripping open. ripping someones skull open is the same as ripping a door off its hinges in a matter of speaking its all matter that can be manipulated by the mind.

I don't want to get into the "flamathon" that this thread has become, just wanted to point out that Sylar is not dead. At the end there was a blood trail going into a sewer, that was him, he is gonna be around next season, infact I read some where that he will actually be a regular in the series, so thats nice.

05-22-2007, 10:42 AM
Screw it, I admit defeat lol

I don't sink to the lows of writting insults and being pissed. Besides, I wrote an entire post of things I hated about the finale and the only things that were incorrect were pointed out over and over again. Everything else is my opinion. I don't understand how people get off posting such mean ass comments because someone is "violating" their show. I didn't realize people would get so emotional!! :\

So hey, I admit I was wrong about almost everything Sylar but everything else (which was another 3 or 4 paragraphed rants) were true. And 4 outta 5 ain't bad :rolleyes:

By the way, I LOVE Heroes, I watch every episode (and forget stuff obviously :D )

But nevertheless just a handful of you guys seriously need to read the rules before posting. Names can get destroyed like nothing. And in the end its really not worth it. Especially when you're trying to insult a guy who really respects everyone's ideas and opinions.

Agree to disagree.

Hey, don't apol;ogize for giving your opinion, thats why we got these here threads to rant in.

Personally I enjoyed the Finale, but thats just me, If your didn't like it, be heard! I thought you made some good points, even if I don't agree with them, I like the whole agree to disagree thing, it's a good way to calm the fires.

I try and look at shows like this (Lost is another that comes to mind) as a real REAL long movie, with each season being basically an act in the whole thing, That said, I guess I am able to be okay with somethings going the way they did. I am sure if you are a fan of the show, you will be back in the fall, and they will restore your faith in the show.

BTW, I saw the guy who plays Surresh (SP?) in an interview he said that the second season may be about thirty episodes long, so there is something to look forward to.

Yeah you know what, that was my whole philosophy in regards to movie trilogies and such. I really oughtta use that way of thinking when watching HEROES. You're right, it's like one long long long movie. When you look at it that way, the final episode doesn't have to be this huge extravaganza. :D

I like Suresh, they write him to be much more clever than he lets on.

How can you criticize the show "lack of GOOD FIGHTS",
"Bomb didn't go off to my expectations", and then go and compare it to a "Stupid Smallvile Epi"!!!:confused:
That had to be one of the better endings to a shows' Season Finale in a LONG TIME (unless LOST lives up to theirs). The Characters were ALL eachothers HEROES and most of all just when you thought you knew who the BAD GUYS were we get a curve ball, BAM!!! Nathan shows up and saves not only the city but the rest of those guys that helped in defeating Sylar & stopping the death of millions of innocents. The Sacrifice, the Love, Compassion, but most of ALL the HEROISM displayed by all characters in the face of evil & doom. This is why this show is so good and why GENERATIONS will kick ass too. We know Sylar is still alive, we know that there is someone Worse than Sylar out there, and we know Volume 2 will be 30 EPISODES!!!
I know some will never get it but we are a nation of dumb asses, (look @ the president). Long Live this series and i hope SMALLVILLE writers took notes & watched this series. They can learn a lot from a Dummy! ;)

I'ts from the same creators, yeah, but I just don't see the prospect of introducing a new character every episode only to have the fans vote everyone except one off in reality show-style being the best way for the show to go

The pilot was called In His Own Image

I am unsure of what you meant with character development in 23rd episode.

I can criticize the show based on fights especially for this episode it was mandatory. Neither peter did anything, nor syler nor hiro. it was lame fight.

for the Bomb, didnt we all know it wouldnt blow up in NY, thats what the show was about saving the world but all the hype they created over the span of 22 episodes, and how nathan came and few with him, it just sucked really bad, I was expecting it would blow up NY.

Well, it might not be bad, but when viewers vote for a character to stay in the show it could go either way, depending on how smart the people voting are. Also, the voted off characters' powers would probably be basically off limits for the rest of the series, which could get rid of very good powers

Wow...people are ridiculous sometimes.

Its okay to comment on his beliefs about the show. While some of his points were incorrect, some made sense. And he does make a few valid points. The show does have some plot holes. You guys criticize him for questioning the fact that telekinesis = cutting peoples head off. While I believe that is the case in this show, it doesnt make all that much sense anyways.

You are entitled to your own opinion, I was hoping for a little more of a climactic finale myself. Everyone who talked crap on these boards cant bear to hear their show being criticized...which is why they do it.

agreed.^^^ people take things way too far on here somtimes. disagreeing and insulting are 2 entirely different things. Personally, I didnt see the finale as good or bad, but as kind of a mix, some parts good and some bad(though I thought most of it was good). when I saw hiro `kill` sylar, i did think it was way too easy because sylar was able to stop unexpected bullets being shot at him in midair, so why couldnt he stop hiro who had freakin announced himself? so, I made a theory. when hiro tried to kill sylar in his mom`s apartment, he could barely bring himself to try to do it. so, I doubt that sylar expected the same man to run at him only 1 days later and stab him. as for origins, it could go either way. its from the same brilliant writers of heroes, but at the same time, leaving the fans to vote could turn out horrible(take taylor hicks from american idol as an example.)I agree that this was an awesome finale, and agree that there were some minor mistakes. but ultimately, this forum isnt about agreeing. its about sharing your ideas and opinions and having someone read them. anyone who yells and swears at people who are voicing there opinion is disrespecting this forum and the show that its about.

I think everyone can agree that Heroes really doesnt have any crappy episodes. I just felt that this particular episode did not live up to the 10 month hype. I never thought the episode sucked.

Also, I'm confused by the vision Peter had midseason when he was in the street and exploded. In hindsight it makes less and less sense. Hiro has the teleportation power and yet he was in the vision. Peter and Nathan have the ability to fly and yet BOTH stood still as Peter expoded without doing anything. DL can phaze out and make anyone he touches phaze, so technically he could have single handedly saved Nikki and Micha from the explosion (or both of them from that gunshot by Linderman in the second to last eppy).

Anyone could argue that those are minor details... but really, if any of the Heroes cast dies I feel it should be something they can do nothing about. Like Peter dying because of the agression he had towards Sylar causing his nuclear-heat-thing power to go off.

The greatly promoted Heroes episodes normally set me up for something that would be a suspensful hour of twists and turns. And truthfully, the show delivered up until the finale imo. This episode was the only exception.

DL could have phased through the concussion of the explosion but the radiation would have effected him.

I am still wondering how HRG ..uumm.. that is Noah and family didn't get radiation posioning from Ted.

If Peter exploded because he couldn't control his radioactivity, then how could he control his ability to fly? Maybe the only way for him to get out there was for Nathan to fly him. And if Claire or Bennet shot him? Well, look what happened to Ted when he was shot inside the Bennets' house.

How can you say you loved it?????????


Of course I somehow feel that if they had done 62 minutes of HR...uumm.. Noah standing there waving, you would have been happy ;)


I am trying to think of reasons to look forward to Mondays. :\

I know, Mondays suck now :mad: No HRG till September and that is the real tragedy to me :lol::p
