 Posted: Thu Dec 07, 2006 2:46 am Post subject: Peter's "Visions" |
 |
|
I loved "Fallout" and can't wait to see it again (going to watch the three parter over the Christmas holidays) but I have a problem with the way they've been going with Peter.
Peter absorbs and can use the powers of any other hero but where are his visions coming from? They seem to only come when he's sleeping which could mean they are caused by the little girl who gave Mohinder his visions. But she always appeared in those visions. And there's no way that she arrived in New York in time to "lend" him her power as she was clearly in India.
One of the things I love about Heroes is how they ground everything in reality (like X-Files did) and how there is an explanation for everything even if it's a paranormal one. I really hope they explain these visions and soon!!! |

| I was thinking that the girl is able to enter in whomever's dreams she chooses, and that she has been "destined" to lead certain people to certain fates, and by appearing in Mohinder's dreams, she leads him back to New York. By appearing in Peter's dreams, I'm guessing that it is a warning that might relate to his involvement in future events...what with Sylar appearing and speaking about Peter knowing nothing about power...

Whatever it turrns out to be, I have faith there will be an explanation that is logical and satisfying. Oh look, all the smilies have become much more festive. I have to put some in!!!  |

That is very true. I don't think there are any coincidences on Heroes. Everything is fated or destined to happen. I'm going to watch the final 3 eps again over the holidays and look more closely at the vision. My students pointed out some interesting things that I missed: for example, Peter apparently is wearing a distinctive watch in the vision and he is dressed like Sylar dresses. |

| The dreams that the little boy gave to Mohinder were images from the past. Peter's seem to be in the future. It's possible that's why the little boy doesn't appear in those ones- maybe he has premonitions himself and can relay them to others, but isn't physically present because he can't travel to the future like Hiro. |

| That makes sense. The encounter, I'm sure, between Sylar and Peter had to result in some negative sort of way for Peter, seeing as how he was in such a close vincinity to Sylar, and probably had the opportunity to absorb some of his powers. Hmm..maybe an ability that Sylar had previously obtained was one to have visions, and Peter is being struck by the effects of that ability while being imprisoned? |

|
|
Suffering the same crippling headaches as Matt, Peter experiences a vision that posits him back in a deserted New York City with the rest of the Heroes. He begins to glow from within, and flames shoot forth from his pores. from http://blog.meevee.com/my_weblog/2006/12/t...akked.html#more
Now I've only seen the episode once, so maybe other people noticed more than myself, but so far these are a couple thoughts that I've come across.
1. Peter absorbs the power of the radioactive power, but can't control it.
2. Peter absorbs too many powers and kind of over charges, exploding as a result.
3. Some people are saying that they think he may be linked to Syler somehow, that leading to his explosion.
So what does everyone think. I think I'm more partial to the radioactive guy theory, but then again, he wasn't anywhere in the vision. Hmmmmm.......I guess I don't know. |

| I don't think Peter is getting his visions from Sylar or any other Hero. I think he has some empath abilities of his own. Remember he had the dream about his brother's accident while it was happening. Also he shared that dream with Simone's father before he died. |

| Ohhh.. I'd forgotten about those visions! You've made a point; Peter has been having those visions before he had come in contact with any other Heroes. Maybe Peter is special, like Sylar wants to be, because he would be then exhibiting two powers of his own, which is something that only Sylar has been shown to have. |

Actually, if I remember right, Peter had visions after meeting Isaac. Perhaps he absorbs others' powers temporarily but for some reason can absorb Isaac's powers more easily?
I think the reason he looked so screwed up while in jail was that Claire left him before he could fully take advantage of absorbing her power to repair the full extent of his injuries.
In addition, remember when he painted that painting at Isaac's place? He had no ability to paint before that, but after spending some considerable time with Isaac, he could do it almost as well as he can. Perhaps he also absorbs other aspects of people besides their superpowers, which is why he is dressed like Sylar in the vision/dream. |

I found it kind of interesting that Sylar didn't do a lot of what he could have to Peter. He could have killed Peter without much effort, but instead he threw locker doors. >_> As addressed, Sylar sees something in Peter, but how far will he take that? Is it his way of seeing how much Peter can absorb - directly resulting in a developed, stronger power that Sylar could want to take later? Or is Peter supposed to be his antagonist, his match, and perhaps Sylar sees someone to compete with? Maybe that gives him futher purpose, beyond being special.
As Reiakesh pointed out, Peter first had a sort of vision before his brother's car accident, six months prior to present time. Then again, before discovering he could "fly," he had something of a vision with Simone's father.
It's difficult to pinpoint it right now, but I'm sure there will be an explanation. However, to me it seems like every time he sees one, the time before the event extends further. First Peter saw the crash moments before it happened.. now he's seeing the explosion days before (unless it's just one day, I never actually kept track). Hmm. |

| I'm wondering if Peter actually isn't the one who blows up New York, since they never showed him actually exploding. We just saw him get bright and yell. This is a little far fetched but maybe that vision he had is something entirely different from exploding. Like someone i know said, i could essentially be symbolism and nothing else. What it symbolizes i can't figure out but i really dont think that peter blows up New York. Maybe he transforms into something, kinda like how the telekenetic girl in x-men turns into the pheonix. Remember Isaac's painting of the so called exploding man? Well the man also looked like a flaming man with fire powers lol. The show has deliberatly mislead us before and I really dont think peter is the nuke. |

| I think you're right. Though if he does turn out to be the walking nuke, then I'd imagine he'd survive anyway; he's too large of a character to be knocked off. |
