Let's talk about Candice and Illusions

Apr 19, 2012 17:04

I’ve been so busy this week being a grown up, getting my website put together and spamming about my novel being out, that I’m in desperate need of some quality fandom time. The talk about Nathan being completely OOC in Season 3 was so awesome that I thought I’d find something else to get us all going.

Also don’t forget about the Drabble Tree. Let ( Read more... )

You're right. They could have easily pulled a Doctor Who with Candice. Why not??

It would have been so much fun. They could have had a different actress every episode for that matter.

Of course a root canal without drugs would have been an improvement over the Unwonderful Twins.

The plotlines that I've managed to stumble across as what they had originally planned for season two are frustrating in how appealing they were. For example, they were going to link up Adam Monroe with Niki Sanders, yet instead, the debacle of the writer's strike killed both of them. The original intention for the disease was that it would be released and Maya and Alejandro, working together, would contain it. There are so many tantalizing possibilities ( ... )

Their inclusion of time travel and the ability to change the past broke my belief in the realism of abilities. Candace's ability could include the radiation of a visual and auditory component of the illusion that would register on camera and film. We don't know how it works - we only know that it would logically have to work on cameras, both due to the presidential problem and that her appearance was unknown to Micah, when all he needed was a single streetside or building security camera along their route to or from the voting area.

Micah wasn't looking at those things. If he had, he'd have seen Betty. He had other things on his mind like going home.

There is no way she could use her power that way. Why is it so hard for you to see that in 5 years that Sylar might have taken SHapeshifting AND Illusions?

Also your argument about time travel and teleportation? Does that mean you think Hiro should have a lightning scar on his forehead and study with Dumbledore?

If you travel back in time, you can change the past. That change creates alternate realities. That's a scientific theory.
