Now that we know Claire's, Adam's, and possibly Peter's blood can cure/heal/revive anyone, it will no longer EVER matter if a character dies or is horribly injured. It was bad enough when soap operas and X-Men comics started doing this kind of crap, I thought Heroes would have learned a few lessons about how not to piss of your fans. There need to be way more stringent rules and constraints on some of these powers and technologies, or else all tension, drama, suspense, will be lost forever.

Sure he doesn't have anything besides immortality but if a fricken zombie can dig through a grave then Adam could. Since he doesn't have to eat or breathe he can just spend his entire time smashing the coffin open and digging up. Burying him in concrete. Since he seems to be the same as Claire you could just bury him up to his head and drain him of blood. I can’t understand burying Adam.

For that matter there might be two Adams in medieval Japan waiting for Hiro at the end of season 1. It's impossible at this point to know Hiro's range, but I thought a one way ticket to the moon would be warranted. That would at least keep him freeze dried until the Chinese astronauts arrive. I wasn't too crazy about the coffin solution. As Syndrome says to Mr. Incredible, "That's a little dark for you, isn't it?" Toastwell-I still think it peculiar that Maya would trust Sylar--some dude she met on the road and that she comes to learn is wanted for murder--over her own brother. It makes as much sense as Frodo trusting Gollum over Sam in that movie.

In every episode we hear " no more secret, we'll going to be honnest now". Every next episode people start to hide things AGAIN and bad stuff happen. People don't learn. So here come our heroes going to tell the truth to the world. The compagny knows it, how do they act? They kill them in the middle of a press conference. If I'm a stupid tv-watcher, I now know that what that guy was about to say is really important. The compagny has no style, or brain really. They could have come down to Nathan and Co and say " well it's not a good reason to tell for X,Y,Z reasons ". Then if he refuse, having Mother Petrelli comme to them and try to talk them out of it. The if he refuse a "Listen, if you'r going to go public some things might happen to your health" seems a good warning. Then while he think you can kill them from a " heart attack" or wipe thier memory out. But no, the compagny decides to shoot them in public. Wouldn't at been simplier to wait they go public, abduct them, shoot them with virus, ask them to prove what they say, and then discredit them ? At the VERY least kill them BEFORE the press conferance. For an illuminati-like organization, the compagny like some real intelligence and style. Yet another moment of stupidty in the show.

Sure he's buried underneath several feet of dirt in a coffin with a concrete shell, but his imprisionment seems nothing less than temporay considering he has nothing better to do than punch his regenerating fist at his confines again and again. Also, I was expecting some sinister link between Bob and Adam to be revealed. I thought it was all too convenient that Peter, a man with unlimited power, and Adam, an immortal criminal mastermind with a genocidal fantasies, were jailed side by side with minimal surveillance. They apparently have cameras everywhere except they neglect to install ones monitoring the movements of two potentially dangerous men? They seemed to have no idea Peter was spitting his "no power pills" in the toilet or have a clue Peter and Adam were hatching a "great escape then torment our captors" plan. Despite the fact they were talking loudly through a shared air vent. No listening devices? cameras? seems unlikely. But it also seems like all the other retarded plot holes this season. Anyhoo, I hold hope it wasn't a plot hole and actually Bob was ensuring Adam's escape so he could off the other board members and then release the plague and arouse no suspicion on himself. Bob having Mohinder shuffle around for a cure was so Bob could be protected from the super plague and he could pick and choose who would survive the epidemic. But one thing I didn't get was why they went through all this hubbub about Claire's regenerative blood and going through needlessly difficult means to get some when they had a guy with the same powers locked up for 30 years. They never thought to drain him dry during that time? The guy regenerates in seconds. They could have gallons of cure-all blood in hours. An entire lake of blood after 30 years if they did it on the regular. Meh, that kinda thing just pissed me off. I'm hoping the 3rd season is better. I can’t wait till Adam returns.
