Heroes volume two finale

[kingrat]

Spinach? Not bad.

Two heroes fall? I really hope this means we've seen the last of Niki. Kinda pissed that we lose Nathan too. I've always liked him better than Peter.

What is it with West, where he is such a flip-flopper?

Why didn't Peter just walk through the wall? He was close enough to D.L. to get his power.

They still haven't revealed whether the company is truly bad any more. I like that. I also like that it appears H.R.G. is back to his malevolent ways. He's still the best character around. Not that his deal really makes a lot of sense.

I was hoping they would explain why Linderman kept Adam locked up when he was running the company and their interests meshed.

For such a vast company, they don't have very many operatives.

And in volume three, they really need to reveal the powers of Mama Petrelli and the other original folks.

Maybe more if I can think of it later.

Despite the glaring holes in this episode, I have some rationalization for two of your points.

Why not read their minds? Despite showing that he could pick up fine control of nuclear abilities in a heartbeat, maybe his mind reading bit took him off guard enough that he forgot to try it on Adam once he had pulled the Odessa location from her head (the first use of that power since his amnesia, if I remembe correctly).

As for Hiro, Peter tends to innately counter Hiro's time powers with his own time powers. If Peter is immune to Time Stop, he may very well be immune to forced Time Jump. Given the stakes, the risk of Time Jumping away and not bringing Peter, thus leaving Peter and Adam alone in the Prima Tech factory, seems like a Bad Idea (tm).

Besides, Hiro is evolving into Bad Ass Hiro from the future :) I am enjoying watching his evolution from sweet innocent nerd to Bad Ass.

"Despite showing that he could pick up fine control of nuclear abilities in a heartbeat, maybe his mind reading bit took him off guard enough that he forgot to try it on Adam once he had pulled the Odessa location from her head (the first use of that power since his amnesia, if I remembe correctly)."

Nope, it wasn't the first use. First use of that power since his amnesia was back in Ireland, when he picked up that the member of the gang was intending on betraying the leader. He told the leader, leader didn't believe him, then it turns out that Peter was right.

And when he did it with Victoria, he was doing it deliberately, as evidenced by the scrunched "I'm taking a difficult dump" face that both he and Parkman make when they are reading minds. So, he knew he could read minds, did it to get the location, but, inexplicably, didn't do it to determine who was lying.

Secondly, even if Peter were "immune" to a forced time jump, that still doesn't explain why Hiro just didn't TALK to Peter. Right there. Time is stopped. Nothing bad is going to happen "in the meantime." So just stand there and tell Peter the whole story, of Japan, Kensei, coming back, finding the files in his dad's office, going back in time and seeing Adam trying to release the virus, and that being why his dad locked Adam up, going back in time and seeing Adam kill his father, the whole thing. Although Peter seems to be suffering from Mohinder's superpower of Overwhelming Obtuseness/Gullibility, eventually, even he would have had to notice how Hiro's story was matching up with the things other people said.
