I have just been watching some of the earlier episodes on-line, and now I am wondering how exactly saving the cheerleader saved the world?
the first person who said this was Future!Hiro, right? i think he was just being dramatic. "save the cheerleader, save New York" just doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?
I think Future!Hiro meant "save the world of us with powers"
Eta: also, saving the cheerleader couldn't be the key to saving the world, or when Future!Hiro returned to the future the world would have been saved and, as far as he was concerned, it was not. Therefore, Hiro and Ando had to be the keys influencers of change after they returned to the present. So I'm all concerned about what they did after they got back that made the difference. Hiro talking to Nathan, maybe Hiro stabinating Sylar (though that happened in Future!Hiro's timeline also, so probably not), I don't know what else.
Stopping a recognition-hungry serial killer who can generate nuclear-level explosions in a population center and survive to do it again strikes me as more of a world-saving thing.
Good point. I like that better.
also, saving New York = saving the world from being manipulated by Linderman's little plans. that's gotta be a good thing.
I think that they should have spent less on the CGI of Sylar creating the Kirby Plaza painting (cool, but unecessary, would have been more effective with Issac) and more on the fight.
Sorry if I'm jumping into this thread without checking each and every message. Why didn't Peter fly himself away from the city? Because Nathan wouldn't have had his Big Moment if he had?
Peter was overloading on Ted's power and couldn't control his own powers.
Mikey, that's the official explanation from Kring, yes, with the meta being "Because we wanted Nathan to save the day!"
I just made a deal with amyth that I'll watch Profit if she'll watch Heroes. We've added it to our list of summer projects.
I'm thinking this is a total win/win.
I just got my
Profit
DVDs. I will be watching them after I'm done with
Life on Mars.
