This week, Miranda, James, Laura, and Jeff discuss NBC’s Heroes Reborn – Chapter 10 – 11:53 to Odessa.
So right off the bat, Laura is not happy with the so called “hiatus” episode.
But Miranda doesn’t care since she got her some Ren and Miko, and Jeff continues to try and throw logic into the mix!
James is a Hiatus NEWB and feels that if he were just a casual fan, he’d probably not be back to see how it all ends.
Matt Parkman brings new meaning to the phrase “giving you the stink eye”
Look into my eyes…
Janice and Matty Jr. are out there somewhere, but are they part of anyone’s plan?
Whatever Erica’s plan is, we all agree that no one should trust her?
Is Phoebe dying by using her power all the time?
If so, what effect will this have on Quentin?
With Erica trapped in the future, who’s in charge?
– Harris Army (Harrisses, Harri???) The Scientist?
Apparently Harris is a good tipper, and it shows:
And we see more easter egg nods to the original series, plus a funny Brit.
Micah is back…well, sort of. And still no explanation on how the Haitian is alive, because what would an episode of Heroes Reborn be without some mind achingly wibble wobbley timey wimey stuff???
A quick shout out and thanks to @PrimatechFiles for the heads up on the reason the story jumps 7957 years into the future.
Thank you to Jeff in Massachusetts for the voicemail. He gives his theory on Matt’s power and what he’s doing as Sunstone Manor.
Carlos (aka Prince Charming) is trying to redeem himself.
Why is HRG so distrustful of Luke? And who saved HRG?
The Hero Truther group goes in to find Micah, but doesn’t really try.
If a Shogun Warrior strolls through an internet cafe, does anyone see it? Is Ren a construct?
We all agree that it would have been better to binge watch this series.
Contest: Laura will choose winners over the Hiatus, so thank you to all of those reviews and ratings posted. We really appreciate the support and feedback.
This week, Miranda, James, Laura, and Jeff discuss NBC’s Heroes Reborn – Chapter 9 – Sundae, Bloody Sundae.
We welcome Laura back, safe and almost sound, from her trip to Europe. She left Paris just 24 hours before the tragedy occurred. Our thoughts go out to all those affected.
Joanne’s day at Moe’s didn’t include a Duff’s Ice Cream Sundae, but maybe it should have because she is obviously CRAY CRAY.

Caspar (the Friendly Pennyman) Abraham meets his maker and Tommy meets his sister, sort of; oh and by the way, Tommy’s girlfriend is too “vanilla”.

Matt Parkman, the Mayor of Happytown USA, err… the director of Sunstone Manor, has become quite a JERK. He let’s you pick your poison, in Carlos’ case, “mind bullets”, but Miranda’s not giving up hope on her hero cop.
Katana Girl is alive, but it’s 7957 years in the future. And in case you’re wondering as we were, 7+9+5+7 is the perfect number 28 (we get quick math lesson from James) and 7957 + 2015 = 9972 which is years 8000 years after the Irish Bloody Sunday massacre. What do all those numbers mean? Probably nothing, but if you have thoughts, send ’em in. Joe in Tennessee did via the HERO Hotline. He reminds us of the importance of 11:53 in the last episode and how Quentin ended up in the right place at the right time. Did Hiro live through the sword fight against all those Harris guns in order to be “Parkmaned” for information?
Ugly Red Wig Girl: Taylor’s “disguise” just doesn’t make the grade.
Alias red vs. Heroes Reborn Red: Whatd’ya think?
Rene’, the Haitian, is no longer dead, he’s leading the Hero Truther group.
Miranda’s Alphas reference:
And this is for James:
Erica conveniently keeps a rifle in the pantry, but apparently not one good butcher knife anywhere. So perhaps it’s best to be butchering the venison with a herring. Especially because there’s enough venison for the “Very Harris Thanksgiving” holiday special.
What’s the connection between Carlos, Matt, and Farrah?
Who cares when you can see Carlos’ abs?
A hiatus is coming…will this be good or bad for their numbers?

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?
Jupiter Ascending bee reference – For Laura 🙂

Awkward moment? Boy meets girl, boy buys candy for girl, boy attempts suicide while girl watches.
Facebook Q&A with Jo’s actress (Judi Shekoni) – Laura asks her if we get to understand more of Jo’s character progression, as to why she’s gone so far into serial killer territory?
Tommy’s just an angst-ridden teenager looking to take out his frustrations on the people of France, especially bicyclists and cops.

Katana Girl – Holy crap, Jeff and Laura like her now. What’s happening?
Rules be damned, VM from Mark randomly in the middle of the show. Mark asks if Heroes Reborn is trying to pack too much into the first episodes and is losing the characters.
Also… Did HRG kill Claire?! Why else would he forget the past?
-> Lions 2008 Season / Chargers Superbowl appearance brought up
Superhuman Warehouse – Everything must go! Prices slashed! Everyone just walk on in!
Is Carlos’s power similar to Sylar’s? #vengamobile
Vengasuit! What do you think about it? Go to Facebook and let us know!
Zach and his wife, officially splitsville. #sorrynotsorry
Erica and her Ted talk, does this prove that Harris is a product of Renautas engineering and not evolution?
Come together… right now, over Malina.
-> Captain Planet, he’s our hero, gonna take pollution down to zero!
Are the writers of Heroes really into old 80s and 90s cartoons?

I didn’t catch their first Heroes Cast but I’m catching this one. Just friendly after the show banter about the new Heroes. It’s great, like listening to your buds talk about the show. Now I feel bad that I whoop up on them on fantasy football 🙂
HRP = Must listen to!!!
