So I just finished watching Heroes Reborn and I want to go over where everybody ended up just for my own peace of mind.

Noah - died as a sacrifice. i love noah and im sad he's dead but it's what he would've wanted, and he's basically the only character whose character remained consistent the whole (both) series so im glad his ending also aligns with that.

Hiro - he was fighting those clones so they would’ve all turned to dust and he would’ve been fine. I guess he’s powerless now but given they’re no longer in danger I like to think he would’ve gone back to Tommy and his adoptive mum

Mohinder - died in an underground carpark? Rough.

Matt - currently in a car crash. Lost his time-watches but it didn’t matter anyway. His heal-turn to be a villain in reborn made me very mad. The only part I liked was that when they came in and gave their little speech he was still like “no I will shoot you actually”

Angela - raising malina and being cryptic as always

Molly - shot herself

Miko - we literally only met her in the finally but clearly they’re indicating ren and she fall in love, which is stupid, because she’s not katana girl, that was a different person

Erica - whooshed out of existence

Quentin - giving speeches in prison

Micah - we last saw him at the hospital but everyone knows he’s hero truther now

Phoebe - dead

Carlos et al - team batman now

Taylor - unclear. Having a glass exploding baby somewhere I guess

Clones guy - dead

Luke - also dead, thank god. He was the worst

Rene - got shot by matt and we never saw him again

Original Heroes characters

Sylar - being a hero now but very quietly

Peter - who cares

Claire - died in childbirth my god couldn’t have been a worse writing choice Jesus Christ

Ando - hopefully very happy

So when he's being born he absorbed claire's power (which is how she was able to die) and then almost immediately gained hiro's power (but also, better? which doesnt really make sense if his power is just 'absorbtion' but whatever)

he comes into contact with plenty of other powered people in the course of reborn but he remains master of time and space. when he and his sister save the world, they're not using either of their powers - they're using a third power that only unlocks when they're together. so does he gain her power then?

are we meant to assume he is still time/space boy by the end of reborn?

Honestly fuck that guy Brady or whatever who tried to r*pe Claire, accidentally killed her and tried to hide the body, then had the nerve to tell her to get over it when she confronted him later. He deserved to get Haitian’d and worse

Tbh I hope they start a fresh serie with new characters like it was planned at the beginning of the show: 1 season = 1 story.

What I really liked about the show in the first place was seeing people understanding their power and to see how they will use them.

I am ok with having some characters back if it makes sense but I think they should write the story around new characters and finish it in 1 season.

And they should probably start more slowly than in Reborn (in fact there is nothing really good in Reborn), like just show people in their daily life discovering what they can do, give them some issues and see how they use their power to overcome them like in Heroes s1

I think you also need a great villain. Sylar was awesome but you can try having good person slowly becoming bad because of his life and the ability given by his power (for example, he/she could change his/her body)

I really wasn't expecting Nicki to die in the show at all. Just seemed a bit random and then after she was gone, we get Tracy. Almost like they didn't want the actress to leave the show. And Micah just disappeared without a trace, randomly reappeared with Sylar and then gone again.

Claire having a boyfriend that flies but then he is just gone, same with the guy from the comic book store she helped save.

Peter having that romance with the Irish girl who ends up getting forgotten in the future.

Vanessa appearing out of nowhere in S4 to be some weird romantic interest, feeling more like a filler than anything else.

What happened to that guy that could turn invisible and was helping Peter train?

I really like this show but some of the writing in it is pretty inconsistent.

Maybe all those people had powers...

The mom and dad that pulled the strings, don’t like either of them and I’m 50/50 on Nathan.

Might have been the other way round.. I’d got into a new hobby of “Seiko mods” / assembling watches, then I had a Facebook memory pop up of the Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical I owned back when this all first aired (which is what the Sylar watch was made from).

This is now V3 of the watch, after getting two other versions of the custom dial made.

It’s not 100% screen accurate, as this is an automatic Seiko movement, rather than a wind up manual watch, which means the date window placement is different, which requires some compromises.

Just waiting on a silver version (matte finish) of the case to arrive before calling this done, but really happy with how it eventually turned out!

Enjoyed the re-watch of the series, some great characters and ideas, and who doesn’t love a baddy known as “The Brain Man” according to Hiro 😂

Just finishing up season 2 and was wondering what the brain and playing cards in the primatech vault are connected too?

I don't know if it's from a change of taste on my end. Part of it feels like super hero content in the last few years has gotten very stale and this still has some unique energy.

I am on season 4 right now. I remember really not liking it when it was airing, and I cannot for the life of me remember why now. It's a bunch of fun. I remember Samuel really not clicking with me, but I cannot right now see why I would think that.

Maybe I am mixing up feelings for S4 with Reborn. I guess I'm just gonna have to watch that next and reform opinions.

Either way this show is great and I feel like a lot of people have been sleeping on it cause I never even hear it mentioned anymore even while working at a comic store.

Plus it's fun being reminded why Zachary Quinto got the career he did. Sylar is such a fun bad guy to love.

Just finished watching and wish the writers included him for more than 2 episodes (if that). His power was close to unstoppable.

As the title states, just started watching the show. I caught reruns of the last season in around probably 2013, when I was 15, and instantly loved it. The reruns eventually came to an end.

Started watching the show properly right from Season 1 and oh my god. Some tiny things just crack me up from a 2024 perspective, especially with how far we've come in the general structure of TV.

For one, some of the fight scenes just look so funny because I can really tell a stunt actor was used, even if I'm looking at it for a few seconds. There's something about the transitions and camera angles they tended to use during that time period that comes off as really goofy.

Second, Claire is written a little not very much like a teenager tbh. Well, idk. I was 8 when the show first started so I would have no idea what teenagers in TV shows were like then. But she just sounds like a 50 year old man's idea of what a goody two shoes cheerleader is. Like, some parts of her character just seemed to err on the side of being cloying for lack of a better word.

Thirdly, the scene transitions. Oh my god. Some of them make me laugh watching them from the fantastical futuristic year of 2024. There's one where the camera just stayed on Niki's face IMO for a little too long before fading out to white for another scene and I just found that so funny for some reason. Similar scene happened with Claire as well. I want to be able to suspend my disbelief and become really enamored in the story of this universe, not laugh at the goofy scene transitions.

And flip phones - I still want the Motorola Razr so bad. I remember wanting one so badly at 8, even though I literally had no need or use for it at the time lol.

That is all. Just a little funny to be watching a 20+ year old show and picking up on all the small things that are now kinda outdated.

Psych Season 4 episode 6 Bollywood homicide It's pretty hilarious just how many main actors from other shows end up on pysch at one point or another, I just wasn't expecting to see Shuresh tonight!

The show was really good up until season 2. Season 1 was the best, I loved the mystery behind it and season 2 had some interesting characters.

But why the hell is Nathan suddenly all evil in season 3? It makes no sense and it just seemed like such a random flip of a switch to me. The plot makes no sense anymore either. They're being hunted, captured and all that, over and over. Noah tries to protect Claire. It's just so repetitive.

Back in 2009, I binged Heroes seasons 1-3, and really loved it. For me, it fell apart the second half of season 3 and season 4 was just utter dog shit. Lol. Have not watched Heroes Reborn, btw.

Out of anyone, Hiro should arguably have the most development, growth, and maturity. But his character changes very little when you compare it to season one to the start of season 3.

I'm currently rewatching Heroes and finished Season 3, Ep The dude has time traveled to multiple eras, gained legit samurai experience, made his father proud, almost got killed a few times, fell in love (twice), put man to have a fate worse then death (Adam Monroe), and all that just doesn't lead to anywhere, and arguably he regresses as a character.

In Season 3, Ep. 1, we see Hiro in his new office utterly bored. He gets a new task from his late father to keep half the formula protected in the safe. And what's the first thing he does when discovering this new info? He immediately opens the safe not following his father's orders. He acts like a child and just clueless with no regard for loyalty or respect.

Season 1 Hiro would not have done this. Hiro was a man of respect, loyalty, and principle, albeit, naively so. But nonetheless, I highly doubt he would have made the same mistake.

It's just so frustrating to see.

I guess the series takes place years later, maybe have it focus on their grand kids or something.

So I'm just confused about this plot hole. I'm a first time watcher on season 4 episode 5 and I know at the end of season 3 that the real Nathan Petrelli died and Matt manipulated the real Sylar's psyche so that he could turn into Nathan. And, they buried the shapeshifter who was pretending to be Sylar.

So, why would that shapeshifter wake up with all of Sylar's powers and feel as if he is the real Sylar?

Edit: Went back and rewatched season 4 episode 3 and saw that Sylar went back to normal after getting shot and buried. That's what I get for trying to binge the series, my bad 😂

I used to watch it on TV as a kid in 2007 and now seeing so many clips on YT Shorts, etc.
I have Amazon Prime but it's Turkish and as far as I know it's available only in the US. So, anyone knows a steaming website or so that still works and got Heroes. I'd appreciate any good info, but I'm not gonna use VPN cuz it's literally illegal here 💀
Ik it's funny that piracy is completely fine while using VPN is not, lol.

just curious, what do you expect from the story? characters and other things about the reboot.

well, i hope they improve the part about the Evos because it's practically the same as the mutants in x-men, a superhuman race that lives among humans and are a race and for god's sake let them explore the eclipse more. (sorry if there are any mistakes, i don't speak english)

So, I'm a first-time watcher and I'm on S3 E20. I just have so many thoughts about what was done with the character Matt Parkman but I'm lazy so I'll make bullet points.

• He developed precog abilities out of nowhere after meeting Usutu. It made no sense that he randomly developed that ability. Being introduced to his dad and seeing his father's skills to be able to manipulate what people see and trap them in their own mind was cool and made sense that Matt could develop that skill but Precog seemed kind of lazy
• Matt & Daphne felt forced I guess this piggybacks off after him developing precog abilities. Matt randomly developing strong feelings for Daphne after seeing her in a vision felt random, like why was he so hell-bent on their relationship becoming a thing? Daphne even points this out when they get to the hospital. It feels kind of grimy especially after his son being introduced, then again Janice did have an affair

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for an episode of heroes where someone, I'm not sure if Sylar or Peter, or anyone else (It's been ages since I watched the series), they invade the shapeshifter's apartment. Particularly the identity of when he is a blond white man with short hair iirc. More specifically I'm looking the timestamp where they are at the bathroom, and pick up the razor blade holder. I need one just like his'.

Anyway, just knowing the episode would be great, thanks in advance.
