Heroes Preview: Season 3 Episode 6 (3.06) Dying of the Light

By Sam | October 14, 2008 (12:28 am)

Well things are certainly getting serious on Heroes, and next week’s episode is no exception. Episode 6 of Season 3, titled “Dying of the Light”, takes us into the bowels of the mysterious Pineheart Industries, headed by the equally mysterious (and apparently very intimidating) Arthur Petrelli, very much alive. Meanwhile, Peter and Sylar has a confrontation that’s been a long time coming, and why is it that I feel a little bad for our serial killer? Nathan and Tracy goes to Mohinder Suresh for help, but finds him not all that helpful Meanwhile, Claire, Sandra, and Meredith faces the evil Doyle, whose power freaks me out. Here’s your preview for Heroes Season 3, Episode 6, “Dying of the Light”.

Official Description:

AS HIRO (MASI OKA) AND OTHERS SEIZE UPON OFFERS TO JOIN RIVAL COMPANY PINEHEARST INDUSTRIES, PETER (MILO VENTIMIGLIA) IS FOREVER CHANGED BY A MEETING WITH ITS SHOCKING FOUNDER — CLAIRE (HAYDEN PANETTIERE) AND HER MOM SANDRA (GUEST STAR ASHLEY CROW) TEAM UP TO SAVE MEREDITH (JESSALYN GILSIG) FROM DOYLE’S (DAVID H. LAWRENCE XVII) TWISTED GRIP

Impressed by his sudden ruthlessness, Villains Knox (guest star Jamie Hector) and Daphne (guest star Brea Grant) bring Hiro (Masi Oka) — among others — into the Pinehearst fold, and give him an assignment. With Angela (Cristine Rose) and the Company paralyzed by recent events, Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) goes directly to Pinehearst for answers, and irrevocably changed by the shocking meeting. Meanwhile, Claire (Hayden Panettiere) and her mother Sandra (Ashley Crow) attempt to free Meredith (Jessalyn Gilsig) from the thrall of escaped Villain Doyle (David H. Lawrence XVII), who has the ability to take mental and physical control of others. Later, Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) brings Tracy (Ali Larter) to Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy), hoping he can shed light on the surprising origin of their abilities.

David Anders, Alan Blumenfeld, Robert Forster and Blake Shields guest star.

I agree totally. I believe killing Ando made Hiro out to be a villan. He was just an ordinary guy trying to help his friend save the world. Hiro should of at least given him credit for that.

Ando may be dead actually. The future has changed sense hiro and peter have been screwing with it. The butterfly effect! Hiro was so scared that ando was going to kill him that he decided to do it first. If he hadent known that ando was going to kill him, then maybe he wouldnt have killed him.

Celeste on October 14, 2008 Subscribed to comments via email

I completely agree with that… Actually, I think it’s very likely that what he saw in the future, was because he had fallen to the wrong side. Ando was probably the “good guy” in that scene, but Hiro with his Hero complex probably assumed otherwise.

Yap, some how I don’t blame hero for killing His friend Ando
It may latter prove that His journey to the feature to see Ando with
Ability might come to pass. Because I think they might give Ando ability so he can get close to Hiro and take the formula from him, may be possibly destroy it. May be Peter’s father is like him, he only that peter is slow to think and act some times because of his weakness “love”.

He must have some plan! Like “wtfing” said, all he needs is Adam’s blood. Ando can’t die just like that! It would be a disaster!I can see Ando’s remorses to Hiro when he revives :P. (if he revives…)

Personally guys Ando will probably end up killing Hiro somehow he will not die (permanently) I think that Ando is more liked by the characters in heroes even Daphne was like not Ando so someone will fix him.

O and come on Anglia new what Adam would do she probably planned it all (just a thought).

O one more thing Ando is credited in all the episodes and is not a special guest so I doubt he is gone so don’t worry about it. (But I would kill Hiro if he did that to me)

But What I no Anglia was frozen after that dream encounter with Mr Petrelli. Watch it back seriously she is frozen. (So if I’m right what do you think his power is guys?)
PLEASE REPLY IF YOU THINK IM RIGHT OR WORNG JUST WONNA NO IF IM RIGHT.

WhiteSneakers on October 31, 2008 Subscribed to comments via email

What i think is
Mr Petrelli’s power is the same as Peters and he can aborb other powers.
And…. if im not mistaken….. the guy that was with Mr Petrelli is Matts dad and he was the guy putting lindermen into nathan and that speedsters head. so what i think is, mr petrelli absorbed matts dads power, used it to give angela that dream and trapp her.

but why he was sick in that bed confuses me… maybe (if im right?) he hasnt absorbed claires or adams power… who knows

Well, she was definitely frozen. Well, not so much frozen, just unable to move. I think his power is something like what we thought Angela’s power was from the beginning. Something to do with Manipulation. He can make people do whatever he wants. Either that, or he can do anything to mess with the mind of a person. (He was talking to Parkman’s dad telepathically, and he was in Angela’s dream, and made her immobile somehow). So I think he can just manipulate people’s minds.

oh, if that’s so, then why did Angela said to Nathan that his father was disappointed to know he didn’t have powers? If that’s the case, he doesn’t have any problems with that. And what’s the purpose of dna manipulation if that was so easy. And oh, about the formula. Some new world order huh.

I’ve learned, since watching Heroes, that nothing is ever as it seems to be. People you think are dead turn up in the most unlikely places. I don’t know if Ando is really dead but I wouldn’t be surprised if he popped up out of nowhere. I’ve also been waiting for some kind of meeting between Claire and Adam. Since it seems they’ll both end up working for Pinhearst (according to Peter’s time travel to the future) maybe that will come sooner than I expected.

pdott on October 14, 2008

first of all i agree that Mr pretrelli has some sort of mind control power but i don’t think he can speak telepathically. Parkman’s dad simply read his thoughts. Also if you looked at Mr Pretrelli carefully you could see that he was in some sort of state where he was immobilised and could no longer speak (maybe from some sort of accident in the past). My guess is he can enter people’s dreams and stuff.
Another theory i have is that of all you people who wondered why he never healed himself with adam monroe’s blood is that if you remember adam was locked away by angela pretrelli and i guess she never let him heal her husband as she knew he was dangerous. So i guess Mr pretrelli was just waiting for a moment to get adam and to build his empire. which was now. Finally as for the ando situation i don’t think he is dead; everybody is so quick to forget that Hiro is still a good guy so i think he managed a way to freeze time and simply make it seem as if ando is dead. I dont know how. That’s what i’m waiting to find out.

i dont’t think angela is working with her husband nadeem
as for claire i think she is special because i think she has the genetic code. If you listen to what angela says in episode 5 she said something about ‘genetic code’ and ‘lineage’ so i think whatever they expected or wanted nathan to have claire ended up having it.

Daphny was told to recruit both Knox and Hiro, When hero stops time if Daphny uses her speed she moves in real time but if she doesn’t then she moves and sees everything as everyone else would.

Every time Hiro stopped time she was in speed mode except this time; Think of clark on smallville when he runs supper fast, everyone looks like they have frozen in time now reverse it to everyone elses point of view and Clark is blowing pappers every where.

When Hiro stops time he appears to everyone else as though he were moving like the speedster; So to Daphny Hiro would appear to be a speedster if he were running around she would know he stopped time, but a few hand movements very slowly she might not know he slowed time.

Then again Hiro could have slowed time to a point where it would not be so obvious to Dahny and just apear to be quick movements to her that wouldn’t make her suspect anything. So it looks like he killed his friend. Any thoughts?

enlightened by heroes on October 16, 2008

If the laws of science still applies to this show, you can’t stop time. You can virtually slow it but can’t be halted. Virtually slow means that in your eyes, they don’t move but actually you’re very fast. The speedsters’ power maybe have no limit on speed. She can talk to Hiro normally, right? The other part of Hiro’s ability is Space manipulation. The law of Space and Conservation don’t apply for this ability. The Butterfly effect applies.

Dean on October 14, 2008 Subscribed to comments via email

I would be very surprised if ando has been killed off. Hiro without Ando simply would not work. Also i doubt hiro is actually a villain. Notice how he said after he stabbed him, “i must do what i feel is necessary to save the world”. Whats the betting he’s not actually a villain, but thinks his best chance of helping the heroes is by pretending to be a villain? Going back to the Arthur Petrelli power talk - it was suggested that he has multi powers. One of them seems to be the ability of paralyzing people as it appears Angela is paralyzed. My guess is that he will be made out to be the main villain and will have more power than Peter and Sylar combined. Also i really doubt that people like peter and hiro will emerge as villains. I remember season 2 it seemed like Peter would be a villain as he was helping adam, look how that turned out. Will probably see Daphny as a hero too with maybe a relationship emerging between her and Matt - The future showed this possibility and iv read that in the next episode daphny is told to kill matt for refusing to join the villains.

Boogieman on October 14, 2008

I just watched this episode again and I just don’t see why everybody seems to think Pete is still a wimp. The hunger has turned him into a beast. Season 1 he was an emotional basket case season 2 he started acting like he had a pair but now the dude is wild.

When he told Syler “I will never become you” and 5 seconds later he’s trying to cut her head open…That was crazy funny “I’ll rip your head open and take them out my self”

I got a lot of love for Syler but you guys can’t tell me you didn’t notice that sly smirk on his face when saw Clair and just by looking at her he knew she didn’t trust Noah anymore.

The look on Maurys face…Priceless; Afraid to say anything that would upset Mr.P, considering how powerful Maury is Mr.P has to be a beast to.

Clair being forced by Doyal to pop her mother…Can’t see how that one will play out, nobody around to help except maybe Noah. One will die and that will change Clair forever.

maybe arthur petrelli’s power is Intuitive Mimicry.

Gabriel (Intuitive Aptitude) + Peter (Emphatic Mimicry) = Arthur (Intuitive Mimicry)

in short, i played with the words. :p

evidences:

Arthur used Telepathy on Angel, suggesting that he had Maury’s power.
He needs Adam Monroe to heal himself.
- or -
He uses the powers of other directly, ie maybe Adam Monroe died because like Peter he is a sponge that absorbs and because of that, remove powers in the process. Just like a sponge that absorbs water.
- or -
unlike peter’s power that works “like a sponge”, arthur’s a bit like a “chameleon”. and maybe that helped him “beat the odds” <- graphic novel

my definition of intuitive mimicry:

Unlike peter’s emphatic mimicry, that just by matching the other’s mental level, ie emotions, level of concentration that enables him to use that ability, Intuitive Mimicry needs a person to be around for him to be able to use his power. AoE “Chameleon”-like power.

Unlike gabriel’s intuitive aptitude, that he just needs to understand how does a power work to use his ability, by acquiring his powers, he can understand how it works, maybe on a level that he masters it already. If gabriel acquires the ability of Hiro, he doesn’t even have to close his eyes. Gabriel just needs to “understand” how to use it and maybe bypassing the triggers, eg adrenaline, etc. (He used Telepathy on Angela even though he is on a bed, Maury has to be in range of Daphne to use it.) He gains “Empirical Knowledge” of the ability.

maybe i’m wrong coz’ i dont understand how Nathan survived if Linderman’s dead. who knows how he survived. but in the sense, arthur’s power is related to both peter and gabriel.

Guys…. listen to this:

Arthur Petrelli… Ability: DNA Manipulation

base in his DNA made the formula… He can have any power he wants altering his DNA as good as can change the DNA from others (with or without powers). He must be the best of all… I think thats a good one… Well another one is that has the same ability as Peter or Sylar… But I can say that “enlightened by heroes” you made a very good assumption but you write the “formula” wrong :)…it must be like that: Intuitive Mimicry + Precognitive Dreaming = Intuitive Aptitude and second time Emphatic Mimicry

enlightened by heroes on October 16, 2008

Maybe it’s like that, DimitriosV. I just showed how it stemmed from the father to the sons. but i can’t really put in Angela’s power unto the equation. maybe it has something to do with dreaming or sleeping that peter’s power needs emphathy. XD

but why did they need Dr. Zimmerman if he can manipulate other’s ability or remove/add to them. They need a formula to activate evolution.

If his ability is DNA manipulation, he can’t extend it to others, that’s for sure. DNA Manipulation, I can say, a paramount ability. Very, very strong. So strong he can turn into a frog. :D Ironic Evolution, 1st Edition.

But that raises a question. why is he on a bed if he is powerful? And I think Claire has that ability, if it exists. Indirectly gives her Regeneration. She manipulated her DNA so she can’t feel pain. How’s that?

Another theoretical ability of Arhtur is Body/Soul Insertion, just like what Future Peter did to Present Peter. That maybe a reason why Adam Monroe died. He used Adam Monroe’s body for himself. LOL.

I don’t think Elle will choose the company. Remember she hates Angela right now.

Mohinder is on a whole different storyline, they really should get rid of him. What’s the point in having a scientist trying to find out a formula to give powers if they have a formula to give powers already.

Matt I think will choose Pinehearst, is especially when Daphne comes to recruit him. Either that, or he chooses company and brings Daphne with him.
