Dragon Blogger Review of Heroes Volume Four Season Finale – An Invisible Thread

its just stuped with out peter's full powers
let him have them back
let him have hiro's power and go back in time to worn him self about his dad

just to clear up this matter peters words were "bet you didnt think i took that one from you"

right going back to the peter thing...for heroes to be what it needs to be peter NEEDS his powers back....Sylar is the most powerful character at the moment and no one comes close since peter lost his original powers, i`m fed up with them keep coppin out of showing us the fight scenes between sylar and peter, heroes need`s to explode with storylines about the nemesis relationship between sylar and peter, i believe that sylar and peters core ability are the same... they have just manifested differently, i suppose due to the different upbringings, which gives these two characters the contrast they need, if peter gets his original ability back and if/when sylar appears out of nathan they have a battle that will last forever assuming peter will absorb claires ability again making peter the one thats gonna keep clare grounded when it comes to the relationship issues sylar was talking to her about on the last episode of vol 4...another thing is hiro...i believe 1 of 2 things have happened to him...1 when baby matt parkman started his powers he only started 1 out of the 2 maybe the powers just need to come hand in hand in order for hiro to handle it.....in which case ando should be able to restart or boost the rest of his powers....or the second which is the worse option to go for in my opinion is... i dont believe we ever found out what kido`s ability was...when hiro tried to save him from dying kido indicated that you cannot change these events...maybe kido had the same power as hiro but he got nose bleed`s etc like hiro and had to stop using them...tell me what you guy think...

hello people... right just to note peter said when he stabbed sylar with the needle was "bet you didnt think i took that one from you" either indicating that he only took one or a few more then one power from sylar... sylar might have deceted him taking his powers and peter could only take a certain few powers....i believe that the fight in the hotel room peter started taking sylars powers and drained him sylar got the upper hand on peter and nathans plan was to fly sylar out of the window, sylar in my opinion did not fly he stopped himself from falling out of the window.....i`d make everyone right about claires blood but to be honest you they could have played that card when restoring peters or hiros powers, or the death of daphane....the death of linderman has always puzzled me he was a healer why could he not heal himself???? also a question for you all...how comes daddy petrelli couldnt take powers before angela posioned him then how could he have taken adams/kensei`s powers????

Here is what I don't get about the way everything played out. Why did they not just use Claire's Blood like they did back in season 2 to heal Noah. I understand it is just a writing thing but it kills the whole continuity thing.

Peter didnt get his full powers back! When he injects Sylar he says "Bet you didnt think that was the one I took". One! He was only able to shape shift... Tho if he had control over which he took and why he didnt take Sylars original ability so he could cut open Sylars head and take ALL his aquired abilities is beyond me...

At first I was so angry and hated what they did with Nathan/Sylar... But then I realised that it sets the tone for the future we saw way-back-when, where Nathan(who is actually Sylar) is presidant and evil...

Give Peter his full power back tho! I'm getting annoyed by his crappy powers! And whats up with Hiro? I thought they were just weakening his powers by getting rid of time travel/teleporting but to make him nealy die from just freezing time seems a bit excessive to me!

I hope he did get the full range of powers, and I suppose if he did it would be a bit of a fake out like they had at the end of Villians. Everyone thought Peter was back to his normal self only to find out he could only hold one at a time, this episode could be the exact opposite. If you're right and he got them all then he is definatly back in business for next season.

Even though there were plenty of good points with what could have been done with Nathan, I actually think the best choice was made. (I think the healing blood just needs to be done away with, then nobody will ever die again, so kudos and not resorting to that.) As we've discovered with Sylar's new shapeshifting ability they don't know where his sweet spot is. He was going to wake up eventually and raise hell again, so instead they did the best they could and wiped his mind to make him think he's someone else. Sure he'll probably come back and square off against Peter but, every Hero needs his arch-nemesis. Don't see anybody complaining everytime The Joker, Magneto, or Lex Luthor comes roaring back for more.

I don't think Peter has his full range of powers simply because he wouldn't have limped away after the fight in the hotel. However I do think he is blind to the fact that Sylar is capable of empathic mimicry as it seems on Arthur seemed to key in on that, otherwise we would have had our old Peter back. I thought killing Nathan was actually a decent way of killing off a main character yet still keeping the actor.

I personally thought the twists and turns were highly entertaining and look forward to Volume 5.

By the way, Peter definitely doesn't have his full range of powers. Two things confirm this:

1) When Claire walks back into the room after the Sylar-Nathan-Peter fight, she asks Peter to fly after them. Peter says something like "I can't." Sylar does fly so if Peter had all of Sylar's powers, he would still be able to fly.

2) Peter's face is all scratched up after the same battle. But the scratches don't heal for the rest of the episode. If he had taken all Sylar's powers, then he would have healing too.

I'm pretty sure that even though he touches Sylar, he is still able to only hold on to one power at a time.

Good review, I agree, it was a good episode. The only problem is that Peter does NOT have a full range of powers. The only ability that he took was Sylar's shapeshifting ability. Peter can still only take one power at a time. I think he took Sylar's shapeshifting in order to full him, and then later on copied Claire's ability to heal. But as far as what he's doing now, we'll have to wait until september.

I hear what you're saying, draggonblogger. Really, I do. IMO the writers overdid it so much with Sylar's invincibility (moving the kill spot in the back of his head?) that it's overkill to me at this point. Less is more would have benefited Sylar's story IMO. It's not a problem with Quinto's talent. It's entirely a problem of the writing. I see so much unused potential with Nathan that will never happen now. It's disappointing. Leaving a double in a character's place seems so cheap to me. If you're going to kill him/her off, bite the bullet and do it, you know. If not, keep the character alive. Why were they so anxious to chop Nathan?

Never mind me. I'm a huge fan of Dexter, The Shield, Big Love, Mad Men, and Supernatural so I'm spoiled by good writing, excellent character development, and a brotherly relationship that's second to none even when those brothers are fighting. Heroes doesn't seem to have much of any of that anymore. If only Peter and Nathan had been together long enough to have a real fight. *sigh*

I've given up on Heroes. How laughably awful was that finale? It's the last nail in the coffin. I'd already given up mid volume but was convinced to give it "one more chance."

BIG. MISTAKE.

Just how far will these writers bend over backwards to keep Sylar, whose character should have died 2 seasons ago? He's run his course, but they get rid of the fascinating Nathan instead. The first time Sylar cuts himself shaving and heals, he's going to suspect something. Did the writers simply not think of this? Oh, and....Clare's healing blood? Hello? Noah was shot through the eye and had a bullet in his brain. Her blood healed him. The writers conveniently forgot this as well. Why couldn't Peter have shape shifted into Nathan temporarily to say what needed to be said to the president? Another plot point forgotten by the writers, which shocks me since they showed us Peter's shape shifting ability in the limo with Sylar. Nathan could have officially "died" at a later date after Peter shifted back, but no. Angela is content to keep the incredibly dangerous psychotic who murdered her son around and--in a position of power to boot.

It makes NO SENSE. It's a perilous, nonsensical course of action. Angela and Noah are too smart for that. Leaving Sylar in power? Are they kidding? It's amateur hour storytelling. And Tracy is, of course, still alive. Mohinder the idiot is still alive. Clare (how I long for another piece of glass in the back of her character's head) is still alive. Now she would have been a major character death that would have sent shock waves through every major player on the canvas and created major story. Two sets of grieving parents. A politically powerful grandmother set on revenge. A young life not yet lived, full of potential, gone--but TPTB killed Nathan instead in a vain attempt to keep Sylar on the canvas. So much for any real reunion between Peter and Nathan. The brothers' relationship, one of the great strengths of season one, is finished. Sylar will eventually revert, of course. Nathan's memories are only thought patterns. They'll fade. It's not as if there's a second consciousness in there. Sylar will revert; Peter will vow to fight him, and there will be yet another fight that doesn't live up to expectations. Perhaps another battle behind closed doors? This show has gotten so bad it begs for a revival of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. And they didn't even cut Pasdar loose so he could find better work. How unfair is that?

Goodbye Heroes. You should have ended after season one.

You missed review one thing. The appearance of Tracy Strauss/Niki Sanders/whatever her name. What's that suddenly she is appear. Is she Tracy or Niki or someone else. I think the next volume will be more complicated.
