Discussion Thread: Heroes Season 3 Episode 9 (3.09) It’s Coming
What happens when Nathan finds out that dear old Dad is very much alive, as Peter had told him in a previous episode? Especially in light of what happened to Nathan vis-a-vis Linderman and wife Heidi? Has Hiro’s trip back into the past taught him anything, or will Arthur silence him before he can act? Plus, Sylar and Elle meet once again, and sparks are sure to fly. Quite literally, as Elle still can’t quite control her powers. This is your official discussion thread for Heroes Season 3, Episode 9, “It’s Coming”, our prelude to the third season’s 2-parter, “The Eclipse”, coming in two weeks…
HEROES FALL AS ARTHUR PETRELLI (GUEST STAR ROBERT FORSTER) DECLARES WAR ON WIFE ANGELA (CRISTINE ROSE), SON PETER (MILO VENTIMIGLIA) AND ALL THAT STAND WITH THEM
After a preemptive strike against Hiro (Masi Oka) and Ando (James Kyson Lee) in Africa, Arthur Petrelli (guest star Robert Forster) orders Knox (guest star Jamie Hector) and Flint (Blake Shields) to hunt down his son Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) and granddaughter Claire. Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) is stunned to learn his father is alive — and leading a villainous charge to worldwide destruction. Meanwhile, back at Pinehearst, Sylar (Zachary Quinto) has a charged confrontation with Elle (guest star Kristen Bell). Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) begins testing his new, combined superpower formula. Later, with the others dead, injured or on the run, Matt (Greg Grunberg) attempts to wake Angela (Cristine Rose).
Robert Forster, Brea Grant and Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine guest star.

Can’t Wait!!!
when do they post the shows on nbc to view?
i think hero’s actually lost his powers, hence him asking for the formula from ando in the future
i take it you aren’t gonna admit it but as i said i watched the episode just and he hasn’t lost his powers just is 10 in his mind.
I agree, Adam’s father.
Man, thsi episode is going to be one the best of the series, in my oppinion. I think that episode eight will be the turning point of the series. From here on in, my hope is that the ratings will go back up, plus things are jsut getting so exciting! Although the show has always been incredible, it’s just never taken this much critical abuse before.
everyone email a friend that heroes is going to be good today.
I really do not want Tracy joining the villains. I think she and Nathan would make a great couple. Too bad. That picture seems to set her future in stone. Nathan should make her come to her senses. If she is scared of her own abilities, why the hell would she join Arthur? Doesn’t make any sense. Please be another mole.
I have a feeling this episode will be awesome. I don’t know why. I just do. Villains was amazing! It can only get better from here on out. I can’t wait for this Eclipse to get under way. I love the still photos for the upcoming episodes. The new setting is a breath of fresh air. I’m so excited for these next few episodes. Anybody else think this is the best season thus far for Heroes? Love it.
i just hope peter gets his powers back asap. cause he’s gonna need it. once the haitian uses his power on there dad it’s like cutting cake the easiest job in the world
Hiro doesn’t lose his powers arthur takes his memory away if you read the seaso previews for the eclipse p2. it gives it away that ando and someone else are trying to help him get his memory back,because he already has hiros ability from peter so I am thinkng arthur cant take powers he already has.
can’t wait for tonights episode though gonna be good!!!
i think peter still has the knowledge/hunger because atrhur has to fix a watch and he did not. i am so smrt
Hey I would just like to point out that ALOT of people in the military LOVE this show but we can’t always watch it at its normal time. So you F^%#@’IN keep those ratings up people!!!
how many hours to go?
I CAN’T WAIT, I AGREE THIS WILL BE THE BEST EPISODE YET. JUST A COUPLE OF HOURS TO GO. WHEN IS SETH GREEN COMING TO THE SHOW?
I’m looking very forward to this episode. I’ll let you know my thoughts once I get in from work as I have to go to work once Heroes is over tonight.
Just 30 more minutes! The anticipation is killing me. UGH!
Hey, I think I just figured something out. Remember in the last episode how Gabriel already had the map and locations of all the potentials on his wall. That would place the events between Papa Suresh and Brian Davis’ murders and going rogue trying to find Molly Walker’s father. That would mean Elle and Sylar’s meeting took place just before HRG infiltrated Chandra’s place in India. So would it be safe to say The Company were only able to discover who Chandra was through Sylar when observing him. I don’t know where I’m going with this yet, but just nice to know.
One more thing. Anybody notice how Sylar likes to test the abilities he attains shortly after acquiring them? Perhaps, Molly’s father is the one we’ve been looking for. The one that gave Sylar his ability to freeze objects. Now, of course, this is nothing official and I could be completely wrong, but it makes sense doesn’t it?
Oh, who knows. I just need to do something with all this excitement while I’m waiting for the episode. Can’t wait!
Holy s–t that was cool with elle blasting sylar like that. And sylar being able to possibly take powers like peter can, that would make me think that all three of them have the same power.
WHHHHHAAAAAA!!!!!
So the hunger is about gaining power, and sylar has the exact same power as peter… So when Pete went to the future, and took sylar’s ability…(his own?) how did he get the hunger? Why did he try cutting open nathans head in the future??? why Cut his mom’s??? I wish they would explain it!
when he takes sylars power which is actually being able to understand the powers the hunger comes with it because sylar understands the full potential of the powers and wants to become the most powerful which means taking the power. he didn’t understand that he also had empathic mimicry which meant that his first victim with the telekenisis, if you remember sylar bashed him on the head and cut his head open. it isn’t actually sylars power to cut their heads open that is just another way of using telekenisis. so when peter obtains the understanding the hunger comes with it not actually cutting peoples heads off.
Also Peter, Sylar and Arthurs powers are all slightly different, i mean sylar can understand the power straight away but has to learn how it is that he actually takes the power without cutting their heads off (unless he studies the brain lol), Arthur has to touch the victim to take the power but learns automatically how to use it and Peter can obtain them from further away but has to practice until he learns how to use the power. They all have differences to their powers but potentially all have the mimicry part of the ability.
yes yes yes Go sylar be the hero
sweet sylar has elle power without killing her
too many damn commercials!!!!lol
this episode is missing HRG!!! Time for his wisdom.
that is why she is soo special! YES!!!!!
