They really could have accomplished all of that in three episodes. Adam/Kensai is not all that complex of a character.

I'm hoping this changes with future episodes, as I find the actor enjoyable to watch.

I think his change from drunk to realizing he had powers to hero is essential to his being a "visionary". Also the depth of his hatred for Hiro had to show a very close friendship and deep love for the swordsmith's daughter... only to be betrayed. A three episode arc, I think, would have been way too quick to justify the level of hatred he seems to have for Hiro.

So since Adam is behind the company (his symbol being everywhere), then at some point in the past he turned dark, since the company has been around since the start. So that means Hiro already had traveled back in time, meaning that they were always meant to save the world as they did in season 1, because Hiro always had to go back in time to start everything on its path. So the whole first season was completely worthless.

I would agree with you, if all those espidoes actually accomplished what you described (quite nicely) above.

I really don't think they did. I never really got the sense that Hiro and Adam had a "very close friendship" and certainly never saw much evidence in the way of his "deep love for the swordsmith's daughter." The Hiro/swordsmith's daughter relationship, yes. Adam and the girl? Not so much.

I think the last two episodes of the arc, we saw how much Adam cared for the daughter, and she seemed to like him as well. It also seemed to me that Adam and Hiro were becoming really close. It wasn't all hero worship on Hiro's part, there was a reciprocal admiration in those 2 eps.

So Adam has lived for 350 years or so? Is this because of his regeneration ability fighting the aging process? So Clair will be a hot high school cheerleader forever? Niiiiice.

Kick ass episode btw.

I think that's the case. That's sort of how it works in the X-Men comics with Wolverine at least. Not to quite that extent, but it definitely significantly slows down the aging process.

i disagree HB...i think cringer is much more correct...

all the main characters had their powers manifest during an eclipse, including claire (in the first episode of the show, and adam, although we didnt realize it at the time, in the last episode of season 1)

i think that their age has been fixed at the time their powers kicked in, which means claire will be a hot cheerleader forever (YES!!!!)

Uh... Maybe I wasn't too clear, but I was totally agreeing with Cringer on that point. I just added the part about X-Men and Wolverine as an example of how comics have treated regeneration's effect on the agining process. The last line was in reference to Wolverine, not Claire.

I certainly agree that in the show, they are taking the approach that the approach that as soon as the powers "kick in", the aging process pretty much stops completely.

I am actually not sure if that part about Claire is accurate. I don't remember the first episode all that well (was there an eclipse starting it off?) If I recall correctly the first time we saw Claire was when she was having herself recorded while she jumped off the refinery. Her character arc started in media res. It was pretty clear that her powers had manifested before she was first shown on screen and she had been testing the range of her powers incremently over some period of time.

youre correct that the first time we saw her was when she was jumping off the gantry at the quarry, but she had just discovered her powers...i dont recall exactly but i think she said it was the 38th attempt...the first scene of the pilot was an eclipse occuring, just like the one in the last scene, so it is reasonable to assume that if claire had just discovered her powers with a few days or weeks of the first eclipse, that it was the trigger for their manifestation....it was the trigger for peter, parkman, and nikki becoming aware of her abilities.

Not for me. I loved the last episode... explained a lot of stuff and made me question if Adam is actually a bad guy (and rather the Company is the evil one).

I actually really enjoy the slow pacing. However, if it leads to five episodes being crammed into two like we saw with last years finale I can do without it.

same here...i also love the fact that they answered some questions, and in doing so, asked other ones...such as, we know what the deal was with the vision of nathan in the mirror now, but we dont know if claire's blood will cure other peoples the same way adam's does.

we also know what happened to peter's memories, but we dont know what happened to sylars

Not for me, either. I'm busy prepping for this weekend, but I really enjoyed last night's episode. It is one of my favorite series right now (along with Dexter.)

Try like 8+ into 2 or 3 when you factor in them having to do the finale earlier due to the writer's strike. Unless they are going to leave some stories hanging for next season, but I'd fully expect this season to be done 3 episodes from now.

I thought last night's episode was ok.

I wasn't thrilled with Nikki's second split personality. The whole thing just felt like a warmed over re-hash of the first season.

I also found the twins' scenes pretty boring, but that's really been the case since they started. The only time those two have been interested has been when Sylar is around.

I liked the Adam/Peter/Elle stuff. I always like it when the Hatian makes an appearance too. He's very cool.

Well, considering that Chapter 2 was supposed to end in December, with Chapter 3 starting the next January, I don't think it'll be close to that many eps being crammed into the last 3.

incredible guy, that Adam. presumably, he's at least 400 years old and, if his story is true, he's been in captivity for 30 years. still has a rockin' accent, though!

fwiw, there's a quick article in the newest EW where Tim Kring admits they made a few mistakes this year - dragging out the Hiro saga, introducing the lame Claire / Annoying Flying Emo Guy romance, introducing new characters seperately from the main group, instead of integrating them off the bat (like Elle was), and not foreshadowing the impending doom soon enough (he says he should have had Peter visiting future NY in episode 1). that's encouraging - he seems to have a good grasp on what's wrong with the show.

and couldn't they have given this one better hair? That pulled back thing was nasty.

I agree, it was rather lame. As was bringing back DL from the dead just to kill him again.

Well it was from when she was 16.

And Bob put it very nicely as to why Niki has these alternate personalities. One wonders why she's the only one.

Great episode. I knew they wouldn't kill off HRG. This is soooo building up better than last season.

I gotta admit that the best episodes involve HRG. That guy rocks. I also liked the reasoning given behind Hiro not saving his dad. It fits and is a plausible explanation as to why he doesn't arbitrarily change the past.

"Stings like a Bitch, doesn't it?" - Best line of the series .

Noah definately does kick ass. His willingness to do WHATEVER it takes to protect Claire makes for some great episodes. Though it is interesting that the Company chose to save Noah, instead of giving the cure to Niki. Seemingly makes the explination that the Company wants to spread the virus... just thinks it can control it to the dangerous heroes. I'm thinking in the mass killing timeline, the virus Niki holds comes into contact with Maya (or Sylar having Maya's plague power), making it a super-virus.

West totally redeeming himself in this episode. It was great.

And it seemed like Parkman decided to become just like his Dad... because in the end, the name for the woman was over her picture.

Here is a thought... since Noah has been revived with Claire's blood, does that mean Noah is immortal as well? Claire's blood is going to flow through his veins until he dies, after all... and it has healing ability, obviously.

This would mean Nathan is as well. I'm thinking the whole blood tranfer thing has many holes.

Maybe I'm giving way too much credit to the writers, but a normal blood cell has a life span of 90-120 days. I think these blood cells despite their powers, would not have an infinite life span. Rather, the thing that makes Claire and Adam immortal is that they can continue to produce mass amounts of these powerful blood cells.

That is how I looked at it as well...

I'd say it was a pretty good episode but I figured this one out wayyy to early on, it was pretty obvious with everything that was going on that HRG would be shot- and would be brought back with Claire's blood... (Although I thought that she would be around and have something to do with it)

I think Noop's got his N's mixed up. Why don't we keep on calling him the horn-rimmed-glass man, or simply Mr Bennett instead of Noah?

Because his name is Noah .

I don't think there is that much confusion over that.

I enjoyed this episode quite a bit.

I wonder if the two "newish" storylines will be resolved in the next couple weeks:
--Claire seeking revenger for, what she believes is, her father's death.
--The Hiro/Adam joint-revenge story.

I kind of hope they clean up the new character mess in the next few episodes (I believe there are only two more left until the strike is resolved/after the Holidays) by somehow getting rid of the brother and sister and resolving the virus storyline. And then, after it starts back p, work on the Hiro/Adam storyline, the elder heroes/mythology stuff that Matt is working on, and Claire and HRG reuniting.

Yeah, Adam could be the great grandfather or something. That's entirely possible.

To continue the nitpicking....

I was a little upset that someone said near the end of the show that "Isaac Mendez can paint the future, and all of his paintings have come true."

Um, didn't he paint NYC blowing up? Didn't happen.

That was Bob... and I think he was trying to rattle Sandra. I don't think he was necessarily inclined to go into the nuances .

I'm enjoying everything but the twins, who seem almost forced on us for no good reason. They seem to be shoehorned into the plot for future reference only (ie, moving the virus through people or some such purpose). It's almost like having an action movie where a 10-year old is shown fly fishing with his dad in the opening credits, only to resurface at the end when he is able to somehow hook a rope on a building and leap to safety.

It's like the director says "well, this is really far-fetched, but let's add in a useless plot parallel to close this enormous loose end after the fact."

He wants nothing to do with her. Her mom lives in a trailer park and has the power to make fire. Claire found her last season, but nothing came of it.

oooooh, then if you enjoy this season, do yourself a favor and either buy or rent the first season. You'll love it.
