COrrect me if I am wrong. Does DSTV have a free-to-air service? Does anyone know a good free-to-air service (satellite of course) that will work in Ikeja, Lagos and has a good selection of channels. I want to install in my office.

dats not her power, cos if i remember right at the end of season1, when she told nathan to leave peter & clare alone, she was touching him. did he leave them alone to destroy the world? NO

why are we all beating around the bush?
if u are matured enough or atleast sane, d moment u start having urges u cant control thats an indicator u SHOULD get married. unless of course u want 2 be wacking off on every lady or man u come around; just like they do in the goat kingdom!!

@hotfunmi
someone once asked me a question that got me thinking.

lets assume u get married to this your "dream man", then you find out you are barren, or probably have a damaging accident or any other thing horrible. the picture i'm painting is that if you leave your husbands house its most likely that no one would come giving you a second look. so in that situation would you prefer your husband to send you packing OR would you prefer him to keep you and instead of looking outside for satisfaction bring that woman home as a wife. in a nutshell he could keep you and still have a legal woman that can bear him children.
well?

i gave it a thought objectively,

Me, i hardly put off my phone, he heh e
because i know most other people will
The effect from one phone is negligible!
@gamine
yeah i agree with u, it would be silly 2 switch off my fone during any flight, atleast dat would make me smart & moreover the effect of one fone is negligible.
unless ofcourse, i am on d same flight with u then we would have only 2 fones on.
i also wonder what would happen if i tell my jnr sister whom we fly most of the time together not 2 switch off since it would be a waste of energy, i believe 3 fones wont crash the flight. i'll just pray no fight ensues. ha ha

cooldude62:
right choice bro.,they don't pay like oil companies but i must tell you,they pay well,(talking from experience),the benefits attached are so enormous.God help you, i do hope you are ready,if you are,welcome.before obj went,he gave all officers (u will fall into the cartegory) cars,aprt from cash----my guy,everything dey dia,money and suffer.
who said obj dashed officers cars? check ur information before postin. obj facilitated loans for officers who are expected to pay back over a period of years.

well,as an officer in the army,your life will have some meaning because the army respects its officers.
ur life may have some meanin not because the army respects its officers but becaus pple outside the army tend to respect officers

@poster
go and apply to the army if u want to serve your country, but pray to God seriously. if u go to the army cos u want to get rich u hav 3 likely endings; either ur life remains miserable til u are lucky to get to were u can steal money OR u find yourself patronizing illegal and dangerous means to make yourself rich OR u get frustrated and leave before u achieve ur objective, cos the pay is not and will never be commensurate to your efforts, sacrifice, lack of freedom and expectations.

sorry, i'm not trying to discourage u, but the military of any nation is not were u get rich.
so GOODLUCK

TV/MoviesRe: Heroes: TV Series by mendax: 3:29pm On Jan 08, 2008
claire: in "truth & consequences" i.e episode 10, suresh resuscitates bennet after he killed him, but claire has no idea her dad is still alive. so when she gets stubborn dat she was goin to expose d company defyin her mum, mr bob & everyone else, d company has no choice but to force her dad for a deal. there was a happy reunion of bennet wit his family & he told dem d company made him a deal to go bak & continue workin for them in exchange his family includin claire would be left forever.

sylar calls suresh and tells him to meet him at home cos he has kidnappd molly. he introduces maya and tells suresh they need an antidote cos he himself has lost his powers. suresh tries 2 explain how bad sylar is to maya, but she wouldnt have it. finally, sylar brings out his gun & tries to force suresh to heed to him, making maya to find out sylar has been lying & she then begins 2 poison them including maya but sylar finally convinces her to control herself to save suresh. while suresh attends to sylar, takes his blood sample, bla bla, molly & maya get acquainted & molly tells her she can find her brother in the process she tells maya her brother is dead which makes maya go ballistic and goes to confront sylar. sylar shoots maya square in the chest and suresh then has to administer the injection of claires blood to revive her.

elle on the otherhand was grounded by her dad. while she was sulkin she sees suresh been held at gunpoint in isaacs loft (sureshs lab). she decides to be a hero to impress her dad, so she takes off to arrest sylar. she reaches there, releases a bolt of lightning and in the ensuing confusion they find out sylar has stolen the injection and bolted off. prior to that though, suresh has explained to sylar that he was deliberately injected with the same strain of virus that seized niki sanders' powers.

nathan, officer parkman and peter call for a press conference explaining to the whole world that pple exist with superior powers. just when he was about to tell pple what he can do as a person, an assasin appears in the crowd and pumps in a flurry of bullets in to his chest. nathan falls down dying in peters arms.

in the prologue of season three called "villians", sylar is shown in the empty street injecting himself with the cure. he then begins to practice telekinetics until he was finally able to catch a can of soda from 10metres. he smiles to himself and exclaims I'M BACK.



my summary:
the virus seems to b completely destroyed. everyone seems to b safe except for niki and nathan. (note that both of them were not really shown to be dead)

@odada
u'll hav 2 4giv my shortcomins on dis one cos i'm in hurry now & i'm in a cafe, moreover its been long since i watched dis episode

hiro (my favorite) found out who killd his dad by goin bak in tym & stoppin tym just wen d act was committed. he decides 2 take on adam roe who was wit peter in d paper company Headquarters 2 destroy d virus, or so does peter think!. while in peter & adam r in d buildin destroyin everythin in their path, tym suddenly stops & hiro appears!!
hiro tries 2 kill adam but peter wont have it, so dy hav a showdown & hiro gallantly loses & gets knocked out. adam wakes up and finds hiro down ,
anyway peter gets d vault open but just wen dam enters 2 release d virus, officer parkman & nathan come around & convince peter dat adam is out 2 release d virus. b4 he gets bak into d vault, hiro has appeard in d vault & whisked adam away leavin d virus bottl droppin 2 d floor, so peter destrys it
meanwhile, i'll leave u 2 find out wat happend 2 adam, but b sure he wont b nuisance 4 a long tym

niki also gets bombed up in a buil;din after assistin micah 2 save his cousin from bad guys

sorry i'll be bak wit sylar, bennet, claire, suresh & maya,

my tim is up!!! undecided

nope, d show has not restarted, we were hoping 4 january, but d writers have decided they arent ready 2 come bak frm strike, so,

Peter ner met Linderman, I wonder where u saw that
Did Peter ever meet Linderman??
@vieira, cabali, odada
are we 4gettin dat linderman is a friend of d patrelli family?, in season 1 it was implied frm conversations btw nathan & peter, unless of course peter didnt meet him after he became a mutant, anyways its a deduction cos it was never shown 2 us in blak & white

TV/MoviesRe: Heroes: TV Series by mendax: 9:00am On Dec 29, 2007
now who ordered nathan shot? his mother? bob and the company?
and is nikki dead too?
i want 2 bliev dat jessica/niki is dead. dont 4get dat d whole objective of season2 is 2 destroy d virus which was only in 3 places
1. inside niki
2. inside sylar
3. in the company

sylar has been cured and d virus in the company was destroyed, though another turn aroun mayb dat jessica wuld b badly hurt den she wuld b given d cure which wuld cure her of both d virus and her injuries!!!

but one thing i found annoyin was about peter. with everyone tellin him that adam was bad, he should have at least read his mind to know if he really wanted to destroy or release the virus. .
i agree with u, dat was a shortcomin on d part of d story, peter shuld hav just read his mind unless ofcourse adam controlled himself and refused 2 reveal his inner thoughts. its a possibility, since adam knows peter can read minds, it wuld b like beatin a lie detector test
TV/MoviesRe: Heroes: TV Series by mendax: 8:46am On Dec 29, 2007
Seun:
My problem with Peter's powers:

1) Some of the powers he absorbs are very dangerous.
For example, imagine a situation where Peter absorbs Maya's curse power!

2) And he can't even control them well. He ends up causing harm.
i agree with u seun, though d gud thing is anytime he absorbs ur power, u'll most likely be nearby 2 help, so maya may b able 2 control him.

another problem with peter is; he has so many powers he doesnt even know;
for example, he has met molly, micah and jessica and he doesnt know he has their powers yet, dont 4get also he has met sylar, which means he can make snow, listen 2 details frm afar etc.

wat i'll really like 2 know & i really dread 2 happen is; now dat sylar has regained his strength, wuld he hav d power of those he killed wen he was out of power eg candice? cos dat wuld be really awful. we'l just hav 2 wait 4 season 3 to see
TV/MoviesRe: Heroes: TV Series by mendax: 8:36am On Dec 29, 2007
cabali:
In as much as the series is great, notice how the season 2 story is. there were a lot of disjoint, loose ends and pieces just falling apar
so for example, which part of d story is disjointed? i somewhat agree sha, dat season 1 has a better story line.

odada:
how evil can Parkmans father be?and let sylar go away,I thought Hiro killed him with the samurai sword already in season1 and here he is again in 2 huh huh I think I would love to have Candice powers-imagine being able to create illusions and be any body you want cheesy cheesy cheesy!

I have just got 10 episodes of season 2 on dvd!where can I get the complete season plz?
all ur questions hav been answered within d 1st 10 episodes of season2, sorry apart frm how sylar got 2 survive d samurai sword which was explained in d last episode of d season i.e. episode 11
parkmans father is the nightmare man, episode 5, (fight or flight); which is in my opinion very evil
dont bother about candices' power cause, sylar has already killed her!!
cheer up since u hav 10 episods of d season u are lookin for only onemore, so if u r not very patient u can download it frm d net but u'll need certain software like bitcomet or torrent which are also downloadable
