This week, Miranda, Jeff, James and special guest host Joe discuss Heroes Reborn – Episode 8 – June 13th, Part Two

 

Welcome Back Joe – a founding cast member! (See the awesome timeline he made for Jeff below)

HRG stepping on butterflies, or just one really big butterfly?? Shoot first, apologize (sort of) later.

Joe and James question the believabilitly of the time travel in the show…

James’ time travel movie recommendation – Looper

Notice the clock on the wall with the two HRGs!

Plot devices vs Storytelling – Wonder Twins Activate

Quentin is a bad guy now… results of the butterfly effect!

Camera focus during news conference – on the background on purpose?

Jim Carrey on In Living Color

Quentin’s motive – Does he have a chance for redemption or is he really a bad guy?

Katana Girl’s backstory is complete! Her “father” is her creator.

Who’s hotter – Kelly Lebrock as Lisa or Kiki Sukezane as Miko/Katana Girl

Time travel “rules” – which version of time travel do you buy?

That violence escalated quickly with Joanne and Luke. Mick the Ice Guy, we barely knew ya!

Message of the day: Do not go to thank strangers in a hotel room with a closed door!

Voicemail Break

Gerry – Likes the episode where the group of characters is working toward the same goal.

Craig –  MMOs necessitates the graphics be handled by a huge group of people… that’s why it can’t be perfect, so this fits in the weird cross section.

Ren’s cat mask could be a buff or be protection earned in a quest, or possibly an icon for his fans to recognize him.

Talks about the birth of Heroes Reborn as originally for streaming on Xbox and asks if perhaps that is why some fans are struggling with the plot and timing of the episode. Thinks that the backstory provides an explanation for why it would be better for binge watching vs week to week.

And… we’re back!

The evil of cliffhangers – and how it possibly changed the timing of how they wanted to progress the story – plus the combo of trying to hearken back to the original series, season 1, both together made it more difficult to watch week to week

Carlos, El Vengador’s, backstory with Farrah – planned plot device vs filler – Redemption so that he is a real hero with or without abilities

Matt Parkman is back! But he wasn’t there for long – Joe also thinks he’s using his ability all wrong. Plus, he’s now selling his ability to the highest bidder.

Slight tangent – Originally Joe thought HRG’s glasses were part of his ability

Nursing notes from Joe – Priority is patients not stupid question & if you want to go to the front of the ER line, tell them you can’t breathe!

Exactly how heavy is Casper’s suitcase full of pennies? Pennies per pound Approximately 181 per pound… how many do you think he had!

Memaw Petrelli and the wonder twins had a vision that gives us the zero hour for our major event! What information is Memaw keeping from Malina?
