And the only time he can fly is when he's possessed by red kryptonite or because branianc was impersonating him.
weak. and all the crap they did with Lana the past 2 seasons drove me nuts. Hell the instant Lana became possessed by the spirit of that witch...they'd lost me as a viewer.

Another awesome episode. You never know what the hell is going to happen on this damn show.
Oh and Burn Notice comes back on in the winter, hell ya!

Someone teach Claire how to fight already.
lol @ Jesse's power. "So terrible I'm not even going to say"? Then in the next episode he just has Black Canary's scream. Hahahaha
As of now, Sylar>Peter in all his incarnations. Wtf is Future Peter still doing in the past if he already ****ed **** up royally? GO HOME. Or make yourself useful, track down Knox, kill him, and kill Sylar. That would rule.

I figure TV heroes and/or villains tend not to be smart because if they were it would make for a very short series. But for this same reason, these sort of shows bore me. I watched the first season cause I think Hiro and Ando are a couple of cuties, and I tried to watch the second, too, but I got bored. Also, mad about them making The Kensei out to be a huge ***. Real mad.
In most of my dreams (lulz messianic complex), I have better-than Peter's powers and a functioning brain. They're pretty sweet, because Idon't run around making stupid mistakes. Usually I pacify all opposition and redefine the human experience in the first bit, and then fly around rearranging the Universe for lulz. Is a lot of fun. Like Galactus, except with no need to eat, and thus much less predictable. Sometimes they get the particle cannon; sometimes they get an edible rainbow the consumption of which bestows super powers. Sometimes all the trees become tinfoil sporks. WHO KNOWS. Oh, and no minions. Relying on minions is always the fatal mistake.
So, I guess what I'm saying is I think the next thing that will happen is Peter will acquire a full-time minion. This character will turn out to be a shapeshifting clone of Sylar or some silly ****, which Peter will not discover until after it has raped him and taken his Ninja Turtles lunchbox.

Future Peter had to find the bald Jesse dude to remove old Peter out of the body. Sylar is definitely the most badass on the show. He knows exactly how to use all the powers he acquires. Peter has lots of powers he doesnt even know about. Ya his screaming ability was kind of lame. Glad the Haitian is back though.
I think that Parkman's mind control is still the most powerful though.
porkman XD
I'm 90% sure it will eventually be revealed that there is some simple counter, most likely in the form of erecting some sort of barrier. Even if there isn't, it's definitely not the most powerful ability. Obviously Peter's is, as he can acquire that ability in addition to all his others. (And, in fact, already possesses it, if you think about it. If only he wasn't too dumb to know it. Recall that he also already possesses the little girl's tracking ability.)
Also that sort of ability is really only effective against people who "fight for the weak", in the words of Doctor Doom.
If I had Peter's powers and someone like Matt Parkman (or his daddy) was ****ing with me and I needed a quick solution, it would be pretty simple: locate him, teleport to him, (thermonuclear) blast everything within a 5 mile radius. Actually, I would do that regardless of whether such a person was even aware of my existence. No sense letting someone like that frollick about with that kind of potential to annoy me. How would I know to do this if I was mind controlled? I wouldn't. Thing is, I wouldn't be mind-controlled, as above, because I would have actually bothered to learn how to use the powers it would have been obvious to me I now had.
... See what I mean. You guys are too easily entertained, imo. =P I prefer shows like Dexter, Californication, and Firefly. The whole superpower thing makes me lose all respect for people who have them and aren't doing it right. It's very frustrating.
Except for Wolverine. He's a bad mother****er.

Wolverine sucks. No one knows how to write for his powers. They have the guy swimming when his bones are made of metal.
Porkman and Peter can't read eachother's minds, due to feedback.
It's clear now that Peter is a deus ex machina character. If he was smart, the show would be about Peter going around and being awesome. So they have to write him dumb, I suppose.

Um, no. Adamantium beta is not metal. It's bone capable of withstanding a PMSing Enola Gay. It's true that they don't really get how to write for his powers, but they do at least realize he's basically just a nearly-invincible, long-lived (and consequently very highly-trained), antisocial genius. Which is a skillset I think is acceptable, as he is not meant to be infallible or kickin' ass all over the place. He's just an angry sumbitch rumblin' in the jungle, you know?
Don't have to be able to mind-control someone directly to mind-control them.... not that I, uh, stay up nights thinking this stuff through or anything. *cough*
Yep. This is basically the case for anyone possessing sufficient power and emotional investment in worldly goings-on. Obvious examples being Superman and say, Professor X. Whereas characters like Wolverine and Batman are actually aight, because they aren't insanely overpowered, and thus are allowed to occasionally make some ****ing sense. ^_^
And Spiderman, well, he's just a whiny little bitch. Not to mention being the dumbest "smart person" in comics. Which is quite the insult, if you ask me.
Peter Parker's best friend is a millionaire. His girlfriends have all been hot. He was married to a supermodel, which was recently retconned...
What does he do? He squanders his intellectual gifts and pulls his punches in fights.
The only time I've ever seen Spiderman as a badass is in Civil War aftermath when Aunt May gets shot and he goes all dark (seriously, the dark suit is brought back) and kicks some ass.
Now Batman...I love Batman. The greatest stories are of Batman and his inner struggles with his ****ing insanity, such as in Batman: Ego.

I posit that every man who has ever born, currently bears or will ever be subjected to the name Peter is an idiot.
Edit - off the top of my head:
Patrelli
Parker
Griffin
Jackson
Pan

That's what we get for you thinking it would be funny to name your child after your jibbly bits.

Every good hero has a flaw..that's true since the ancient Greek/Roman mythology tales (as well as in the Bible).
These were ordinary people who got special powers. Their power doesn't grant them omniscience...except maybe for Sylar. He seems to have a pretty good grasp on what's going on here.
Future Peter needs to whack Mohinder though. Solve all the problems of the world.
also, WTF...suddenly Packman can paint the future too as long as he eats some African peyote and listens to Grateful Dead (or whatever Africa man has on his walkman)? That was a stretch for me...

Yeah wtf was that all about at the end? Did his spirit guide do what Mohinder is trying to accomplish, by giving powers to people who only need to eat some mush and chill out to some tunes?
Also, instead of walking around saying "I don't know what's going to happen now lol," Future Peter should be able to channel the painting the future power and realize he has to kill Mohinder.
I wonder if Suresh going to become the Indian Spiderman. Cause we've already got an
