Heroes season 2

[Alex]

Standard hour episode.

Oh good- I taped it but was afraid it had been an extended episode.

I imagine the answer would be the same with asphyxiation, just slower. If asphyxiation kills until air is available then eating/drinking is moot. But if the third option then the eventual Promethean repetition would just be that much worse.

Spoiler:

Mama Petrelli made it clear to Matt that neither Adam or Peter would really die unless unless he put a bullet through their heads. If you consider Peter and Claire's previous brushes with death...car accident, autopsy, glass in the head...I would assume he'd bounce back once air is re-introduced.

On thing that I never saw hinted at in either of the last two episodes are the potential side effects for using Claire's blood for regeneration. Sylar eats brains for his power, Peter absorbs his by being near other heroes, but why doesn't Nathan or Noah absorb Adam and Claire's powers after receiving their blood?

Have you guys read this week's graphic novel? It's pretty good and answers our questions about Adam in the coffin.

Spoiler:

It turns out he keeps dying, revives, and dies again. Also, someone is out there looking for him.

Cool, they went with what I said was the most gruesome possibility. Also, I would have thought the graphic novels would be covered by the writers strike. I wonder if they're not or if they were done before it started.

According to what I heard on an episode of The 10th Wonder Podcast, the episode writers are involved in writing the comic that follows their episode while the season is on air. (I could confirm this by checking credits but I'm too lazy.) Those would be affected by the strike. But I'm not sure about the comics that go up during hiatus. But we would have been having a short break right now anyway, regardless of the strike. So the comics we are currently seeing were probably written before the strike and we might stop getting new ones when they run out of backlog.

Scaeagles -
NBC is showing season 2's full episodes on their website. I also highly recommend going through their archive of Heroes comics. I got the hard cover copy of the comics from Volume 1 and I've been rereading and I'm realizing there is a great deal of character/story information in the comics that is not in the episodes.

Many thanks for the info! I watched the first three eps of season 2 last night. I should be completely caught up in by the end of next weekend.

Nah, the GN's aren't covered by WGA. I don't know the writer personally, but he used to be a DC assistant Editor back in the 90's. I think Wildstorm (Ack! without me) is putting this all out in book format. Soon I think.

I tried watching Heroes - just didn't like it.

Sure did, 'bout the first 30 or so chapters, and slapped them together in a hardcover. Each cover is a different Isaac Mendez painting. Really slick and well put together.
The 2nd season really was a dud though, high hopes for the 3rd- since they finally clued into that at some point heroes should be fighting, oh, I don't know... VILLAINS!!!!
