Season02.Ep01--"Four Months Later" 09/24 **Spoiler Reviews**

[fastcar]

I'm glad there is at least someone else out there besides me thought of Sauron and the eye(s).

Not sure what to make of Alejandro and Maya.....I'm leaning towards Nikki/Pauloville, but will give them a chance.....but if I see a purple monkey in a cape show up with them, I'm done.

I don't think Claire Bear's new boy toy is Sylar....Sylar couldn't fly, unless he found another Hero that could.

But, that being said, I find it highly out of character for the writers to duplicate a Hero's power. With the exception of Peter, no one else has exhibited a power identitical to another.

As for who's taking out the Pantheon.....not sure, but is that person now dead? They took Sulu for a Suplex on the Sidewalk and didn't get up. I almost thought it was Peter until the next scene.

We still have Claude and the Hatian missing in action as well as Missy Peregrym's character, Madamme Modem.

In an interview with EW, creator Tim Kring said the question of whether the show will run out of cool powers "presumes that there can't be a duplication of powers. But what if there was a finite pool of adaptations? What if there are other people in other parts of the world breaking out with similar abilities?"

So it seems Claire's new paramour might be the answer to those questions.

I'll post otherly spoilerish stuff from the interview in a separate thread.

I had mentioned last season that I thought it made sense to have some duplication of powers, especially powers that are advanced versions of abilities that most people have anyway, like healing and strength, heroes who have advanced healing abilities and that are stronger than average should be relatively speaking, common.

I’m kind of surprised that they would show someone else with flying abilities so soon. I would think that people who fly would be less common.

Well, if you look at it, flight is a pretty awesome power to have evolutionarily. It keeps you out of danger and (more importantly) the chicks dig it. Evolution isn't about killing your opposition, it's about sex; it always has been. It's the reason houseflies have existed for so long. They're easy to kill, but they reproduce fast, early and hugely. An evolution like flying would probably appear more often (if powers are similar along family lines, which in the show they don't actually appear to be... but whatever) than things like Ted's radiation or Isaac's precognition.

/crackpot evolutionary theory

Actually, Sylar could fly. He was floating when he killed the woman with super hearing.

I thought there was only one body down there. If there were two, then I would assume that the person has the healing ability and just continued lying there for the purpose of confusing Ando and having his/her apparent death reported. This is someone Kaito clearly knew meaning that they were high up in the organization, perhaps a member of the dirty dozen that features Mr. & Mrs. Petrelli, Linderman, Kaito, etc., (are the Pantheon and The Company synonymous?) or at least a trusted henchman to another member of the Pantheon who others would be familiar with.

What I've heard of the modem chick (you're talking about the Israeli who showed up in Ted's cabin, remained to the end of that episode and was never heard from again, right?) is that she was killed off in the companion comic stuff that was developing concurrently online. What a waste. A whole month of pimping her and then.... NOTHING!!!

[spammityspam]

Yeah, Hana Gitelman bit the dust on a satellite. Except she's mysteriously floating around in cyberspace talking to Micah or something... I don't even know.

It might be Claude. He was certainly freaked out enough by the Company running around last season, and he did wear the oh-so-classy hoodie and suit jacket combination we know and love. The person seemed smaller in stature than he was, though, so who knows?

Was Sylar really floating when he killed Dale? Crazy! I need to watch all last season again. I got through "Seven Minutes to Midnight" before my friend stole my box set.

So, thus far, Sylar has:
- ice thing
- radiation
- precognition
- telekinesis
- super hearing
- whatever his original power was (if he had one), possibly knowing how things work?
- flying (?)

Any others?

You know I've mentioned that happening here before and I completely forgot. DOH!

I don't think Sylar can fly as such. But as a telekinetic, he should be able to lift anything in the air with his mind, including himself.

[sickness]

If he can lift himself with his telekinetic power, doesn't he have the ability to fly by default? With everything he can control with his telekinesis, at the degree of sophistication at which he can do it, including the movement of other people (and himself if your assumption is correct), it seems to me flying is a power he also has by virtue of having telekinesis.

[DarkJedi]

Was Peter ever around the shape shifter in last year's finale? I forgot...so I can't guess on a theory working inside my head..

Did anyone see the preview for next week? It would seem to point towards Sylar being elsewhere..

SPOILER

He's on a beach somewhere from the looks of it. Well, I guess he deserves a vacation after all the hard work he's put in. lol

I can't wait till they do a "Four Months Ago" show sometime this season which I bet will fill the gaps between the finale-season 2 opener.
