Spoiler regarding speculation for season finale.

Yeah I got all that, but my point was the US was still incredibly institutionally racist and I can't see a black person in an extremely conservative part of the country at the time being so visible, regardless of his power. And while the diner scene addressed it sort of, I find it hard to believe that in an entire camp of people nobody would object to having it integrated at that point in time. Idk it just seems like a big hole in the way they are trying to set up the backstory to them and the way Charles's power was finally revealed in teh season 1 finale, it seems much different than the Parkman skill tree?
I think that for the individuals in Coyote Sands, finding other people hiding powers like they themselves kind of made issues like skin color seem irrelevant. As for the government officials, they were probably equally unconcerned with skin color when faced with a racially diverse group bearing the capability of compromising their power.
A stretch to be sure, but not a big stretch, I think.
The only thing that irked me about the episode was that Duval told Angela they had to sneak out and they couldn't bring her sister.
Then he does what at the restaurant?
I was thinking the same thing last night. If he was so in touch with his powers he could've walked right out the front gate with the whole camp. Or when the cops didn't believe Angela he could've forced them to.
So I finally decided to give Heroes another chance and watched the last 7 episodes (was about when I stopped watching due to utter shitasticness)... boy have they picked things up. Did something happen on the staffing side of things? It seemed the show went from this grand scale garbage plot back down to the little personal things that make the show so good.
Regarding "1961", I couldn't get over how well those little girls were cast. Beyond that, some questions were answered too (how The Company was formed, where they met, etc). Good stuff. Heroes is now back on my regularly scheduled programming!
i cant get over the socks, she was arrested for stealing socks in the very first episode <.> these writers are flippin genius
same with sylar assuming nathans identity, that already happened remember, this is just it all coming true
yea i havent really been following the thread this year so im sure what i say has been said 4350187 times, but for some reason the socks tie in was a holy shit moment in the same category as claires real mom being the cause of the train fire. you know, not really shocking just holy shit they thought of that kind of deal
Don't get me wrong. Little things like that are awesome but I equate it to Final Fantasy XI. If they focused on the big picture as much as they focus on the tiny details, the whole experience would be better off for it.
You both are about 2 days late on the socks. I brought it up about 5 minutes after the episode ended =/
Yea Epical, they fired several writers a while back, and were just now getting to the episodes they wrote, which have been amazing.Originally Posted by Epical
On topic: This fit perfectly fine with the history with me. Deveaux, Angela, Linderman, and Bishop formed the company. They met up with Adam and the others (Pratt, Kaito, Maury Parkman, etc.) later on, Adam convinced them to stop simply covering things up and "save the world," and we know what his idea of saving was.
