10th Wonder – Chapter 85 – “An Invisible Thread”
Thanks for the patience this week. Here it is, our podcast for the finale episode of Heroes “An Invisible Thread.” We got the sense through our e-mails and tweets this week that this episode was a polarizing one. Some Heroes fans loved it, others thought it was weak for a season finale. Regardless, lots of huge things happened in the episode and we’re here to dissect how the events of this Season finale episode will affect the next volume of Heroes. Enjoy!
Nice podcast guys. “Polarizing” was the right word for this ep. FWIW, I think the “goofy” thing Beeman referred to was the fight behind closed doors. That was just such an eye roller for me.
I think that the fact that the doors were closed during the fight allowed us to speculate on what happened to Peter, how he got the shape shifter ability-whether its his old ability, his fathers ability, sylars ability, his newer ability, or something new. Also when claire comes into the hotel room after the fight it seems that peter jumps up- no jolts awake- like he was dead but came back whats more as he runs out he bigins stagering but steadies out, however that might just be me. the fight could be shone in the begining of the next season in a dream or something of Sylar’s/Nathan’s or possibly Peter’s. another idea was what if they bring back alex to stop tracy. but back to Peter even if he did get healing back then what about the future scar? And sylar/nathan what if sylar realized who he was but because he has nathan’s past, and a loving ‘family’, keeps some of Nathan’s traits such as his struggle to do good-could sylar come back as a good guy? And Ando when is he going to use his ability with somebody else? Next season seems to be indicating that the focus will be with the families- the parkmans, Petrelies, Benetts, possibly Micha and his grandmother and cousins, Angela and Alice, and Nathan and his family(do any of his kids have abilities) It would also be cool if they introduced some other heroes as main charactors, both villainous and maybe a actual public superhero type, and give the compony the task of fnding them and controlling them or saving.
I know you said it wasn’t a big spoiler, but I mean, c’mon! Don’t drop the fact of a spoiler and then not tell us! I am one of those middle of the road people on this one, but I can definately see some serious potential for next season… I don’t really feel that tracy, (if it is tracy after that comment in this week’s Istory “a woman, her arms flexed. She reaches out again, and Janey tumbles in another wave of water that appears from thin air.
The soldier rolls back to her feet quickly, but now more fugitives are appearing out of the hallways around us, pale but determined. Janey aims at the water-maker, water streaming off her clothes.
“Barbara, watch out!” someone yells.
The room goes black: Abe. When the light returns, the water-maker — Barbara — has jumped out of sight.(http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/iStory/chapters/412/MzEyMDkyLWQ=)”
It says that Barbara goes off to start a circus but I find that really incidental) is going to be the major villain. She’ll get her revenge and that will be that… The sylar/nathan story line is much more compelling. Particullarly in regards to Claire after this episode’s rather interesting development (”My first First Lady” anyone?)
