Now that I think about it, if they had based the show in NYC, I think it would have been alot cooler but it would probably run too close to another Stan Lee work.... |

The plot is more interesting yet somehow the overall effect is more boring. Too much time spent on showing dreary faces.
Also, psy is the only one not reported missing. You'd think he'd go and do the shopping instead of going to the trouble of disguising themselves; he's been jumping around like mad on that scooter thing during the fights, he should be able to handle a bit of shopping. And what kind of injury does he have anyway? The flashback where he got injured looked like it happened ages ago . He's probably got that cast on for a few months at least. |

Thing is, Hughes is in charge of the operation. It's just Doctor Minami thinks he is when he isn't. I'm happy I saw the preview but I'm not at the same time.
Really good episode though, but Joey phoning Lina was a bit silly, then again if he didn't the plot would be kind of boring as they would of got there undetected. I wonder who Denton knows in Nevada anyway! Can't wait to see. |

That's my point, Minami is shown to order ppl around and override Hughes' orders when Hughes was supposed to be in charge. There is a clear issue with their chain of command, due to Minami's connections as Hughes has noted.

It did seem like an odd move to have the ones with their faces on the news doing the shopping. I guess with Psy's injury asking him to push around shopping carts might be a bit much. Still having Joey go in was silly since his disguise is just pulling up his hood. At least Denton has a decent disguise.

Wow there was stupidity abound in this episode. So Joey and the Professor decide to do the shopping while the one guy not wanted just chills in the back? Or how about Joey calling Lina despite the very very obvious possibility that they're tapping her lines as well? Then there was the military not using encrypted communications in the first place. Was the professor some ex-hacker in his younger days to hack into a government satellite and communications array? Then there was Minami with the good old shoot first and ask questions later policy. How about Joey use his SUPER SPEED to get away. Jesus it seems like the show forgets this important fact.
The only one who showed some intelligence this episode was Hughes. |

Episode 14, was ok, yeah there were some bad decisions made. They should have sent in Psy to do the shopping. No one has mentioned it, but the name of the diner they stop at, I'm pretty sure is a contraction, of Warren Elis, besides the many books he's written he also wrote alot of comic book issues. Heroman really does have the elements of almost every marvel series.

Speaking of Hughes, I did this interesting piece about episode 14. By the way that post does not imply I work for the CIA, FBI, ATF, MI6, GSG9, etc... |

Then there's the Subway shop, eye glasses shop, bank and nail salon all in one convenient superstore with a Redbox outside for DVD rentals. Some superstores even have an Urgent Care inside.
