A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Like, he didn't have some Metallica in his music collection on the laptop? There had gotta be something wee bit more painful to Sylar's ear than a tuning fork.
Heh. Well, okay. I was referring to the fact that he thought to aggravate Mohinder's superhearing at all. And a tuning fork, to a normal person, would not do much, whereas blaring Metallica makes everyone scream.
Actually, I think the tuning fork would do more damage than Metallica because wouldn't it cause his eardrums to vibrate?
The thing with Charlie happened in the past. I could see the show's physics claiming that you can't change the past, but the future is still mutable.
That would be a reasonable explanation. And future!Hiro went back in time to see Peter because he had to, in his "present" that was the past and he had to make sure it didn't change. Maybe. Time travel makes my head hurt. In a good way.
Then Hiro would have a present that is privileged over other timeframes. Like in Bill&Ted, until the end.
I have stumbled across only a couple of the comic Easter Eggs and really -- they haven't been at all informative.
Good to know, sumi, thanks.
I can't believe you just dissed Metallica, dude.
Screaming can be good.
I am unironic in my admiration for the tuning fork. It hurt Sylar by turning his newly acquired pwoer against him, wouldn't alarm any neighbors or distract Mohinder and just looked cool. An inspired choice.
I thought the tuning fork was pretty wicked, too. After I got over my initial "Why the hell does he have a tuning fork?"
I think the tuning fork would do more damage than Metallica because wouldn't it cause his eardrums to vibrate?
Metallica at top volume wouldn't have just made his eardrums to vibrate, but probably perfortated that sucker. Some quality pain there.
Count me in on the tuning fork love. I thought it was brilliant.
I can't believe you just dissed Metallica, dude.
Oh, I didn't mean it as a diss. I just meant loud music is loud music, period, whereas a tuning fork is extra loud for Sylar.
It hurt Sylar by turning his newly acquired pwoer against him, wouldn't alarm any neighbors or distract Mohinder and just looked cool.
Ooh, good point on not alarming any neighbors. Of course, the yelling and shooting would have eventually done that anyway.
You think that Mohinder's dad was a metalhead? Or are you just lobbying for a SPN/Heroes X-over? (too)
There's a randomly large amount of Sam/Peter.
It's the new Dean/Faith.
After I got over my initial "Why the hell does he have a tuning fork?"
I have a set! One for high pitch and one for low pitch. I haven't used them since school, but I'm glad I didn't throw them out, just in case I might have to confront a super-hearing homicidal psychopath in near future.
t adds Curare on the shopping list for the next grocery run
Actually, Curare is a neuromuscular junction blocker and just paralyzes people, and has *no activity* on the cortical function of the brain, so that was stupid science. But not any stupider than Mohinder isolating genes with his laptop and a high school microscope.
