Thought you might like this article located here: https://right-thoughts.us/index.php/weblog/comments/heroes_four_months_ago/ Heroes - Four Months Ago OK, I know, it’s late.  I just cannot get the Heroes post up on time! Spoilers… OK, so this episode was supposed to answer questions about events from the finale onward.  Here’s what I suspect; Tim Kring wasn’t real happy with season two so far, we know that because he apologized to us.  So, he took a look at how the season was playing out while making it and decided to throw us a bone.  Only it had to be written fast...if I’m right, that would explain why it’s got a few holes and/or errors. - Nathan.  Not enough time for everything that he and mom talked while standing in Peter’s aprtment (in 2x01) about to develop.  I’m not buying that giant-ass beard in a few weeks either. - Peter.  The Peter that flew in and saved Nathan had FuturePeter’s emo-boy haircut and was wearing totally different clothes than PresentPeter (who just exploded, or radiated an explosion, or something).  It was the Peter that FutureHiro met in String Theory.  The one that was with Nikki.  BUT...that same guy was zapped by LightningGirl and held in the joint with Adam.  Why doesn’t he remember he’s Futurepeter?  If he does, there was absolutely no indication of it.  he was acting like PresentPeter, the one who explod-a-radiated. Question: Did PresentPeter ever meet DL?  I can’t remember.  I don’t think the final fight with Sylar counts.  If he didn’t, then the Peter that is with Adam HAS to be FuturePeter.  If he did, then we still have a screwup because the one that saved Nathan was NOT the same as the one that explod-a-radiated. Anyway, it was nice to see how he ended up in a shipping container. - DL - WTF?  DL died from the wounds received in Linderman’s office, didn’t he?  Jessinikki and Micah went to his grave.  What am I forgetting? - Adam.  Can he really be the big bad badass supreme?  I mean, healing blood and de facto immortality, sure, but he’s never displayed a mental power.  Was the big bad bad guy Molly was afraid of just Poppa Parkman? - Mama Petrelli - Donna got this one spot on - we think Mama can persuade if she touches you. - Alejandro & Maya - still don’t care.  But, they do confirm another theory.  I was dancing all around trying to find a way to desribe this idea and Donna nailed this one too.  Many - in fact most - of the heroes have a passive and an active power.  Maya and Ajandro are twins, so the power(s) got split in two. Examples of active and passive; The Haitian can dampen all powers passively, but actively can enter your mind and extract specific memories.  Parkman can read your mind, and his new active ability is projection.  Micah can hear machines talk, but he can also change how they work and manipulate them.  Etcetera and so on.  I can’t think of a set of powers for the flying ones though.  They seem to only be able to fly.  So far, anyway. - Nikki/Jessica/Gina.  Anything that keeps Ali Larter on the show and acting like either a badass or a slut is absolutely, 100% perfect.  I don’t care how ridiculous it gets. - Another question: Have we met anyone who works at the Company who doesn’t have a power?  Think about it.  Anyone?  and if we have not...that means HRG has a power that we haven’t seen because he’s hiding it or he doesn’t know about it because the Haitian erased it. Overall I enjoyed all the smaller elements of this episode, but I think taken as a whole, it opens up some contradictions and plot holes.  Then again, we’re talking about comic books, so I guess I shouldn’t be so picky.  Somehow I can accept that Claire can grow a toe, and a guy as old as Adam could probably grow a new body if decapitated him, but Nathan’s beard, marriage and whole lifestyle change, happening in the limited time between his standing up in the hospital room and the opening of season 2?  That I can’t accept. GIVE THE WRITERS THEIR MONEY!  It’s going to suck when this ends 11 episodes in you bastards!
