_________________________________________
So, anyone else interested in Heroes as much as I am? I'm so excited to see this FINALLY premiere. It has so much promise. And will probably be the best on NBC to date.

[James T. Skywalker]

Can't wait for this show. It looks great.

~JTS

[Horse_Head]

The more I see of the commercials the better it looks... it will be interesting to see where they go with it.

[Inner-Demon]

And they have the plot outlined for five seasons. So hopefully they get picked up. Plus Jeph Loeb is working on the series. So that's just awesome.

[Zedekk]

When is this Premiering, again? I always forget. Doh read the head line got some info up there don't it? sorry guys.

[James T. Skywalker]

And they have the plot outlined for five seasons. So hopefully they get picked up. Plus Jeph Loeb is working on the series. So that's just awesome.

Five seasons, huh? Angel got five seasons on the WB; I don't know if a niche show like this--and yeah, unfortunately, it's a niche show--can last that long on one of the major networks.

Of course, if it can take the success of cable hits like The 4400 and Battlestar Galactica and translate those fanbases to this one, they'd get a good following. I've got a lot of hopes for this series.

And yes, Jeph Loeb's involvement is quite good as well.

~JTS

[kopernikuz]

While I agree for the most part, JTS... I think the networks are starting to look at niche shows because they're struggling to compete with cable so much now. And the success of LOST shows people are willing to watch them... kind of out of the ordinary.

Of course... Surface and Invasion both bombed... here's hoping Heroes can grab an audience like LOST did. Clearly NBC has seen the success of comic book films and thinks maybe it'll translate if you can do something fresh with it. We'll see what happens. I'm actually kind of intrigued and can't wait to check it out! :)

[Inner-Demon]

Yeah, five seasons, they just need to be picked up. They all ready have a HUGE fanbase for a show that hasn't even aired. And it's got mad reviews so far. This show may be the hit opener of the fall. I think it will be.

It has a great timeslot and is the perfect setup to invoke some new life and fans. Lost people are also doing the show. As is some from Alias. It has a great team leading it.

[BobPalpatine]

Has anyone watched the pilot yet?

Personally I think it had a lot of potential, but way to much exposition and not enough action. I'll continue to watch because it's right up my alley, but I think the first episode is going to throw off a lot of casual viewers. The only thing that might help is the cliffhanger ending.

Also, some of the special effects are horribly done, wait til you see, then you will see what I mean.

[Inner-Demon]

If you've read the interviews you'll know it isn't about action. This show is a basic Origins of sorts. These people are JUST NOW learning about their powers as the show opens. It's a growing up type story. And what will they choose in the end?

Personally it all looks really good to me. Can't really complain about special effects on television. To me Smallville sucks. It's television, and it's the opener, takes time.

But I love it, and I'm hooked. This is the perfect type of Superhero story. No rehashing or re-imaging characters. It's all new and it's Character Driven. I like that.

[Virus]

I dont know why, but when that Asian kid screams in Time Square in those commericals that they have been running all weekend, I can't help but die laughing. Its just so funny.

[Zedekk]

Tonight! Yes!

[Blizzard]

The show was freakin awesome!!! I am in LOVE!

[James T. Skywalker]

Yeah, it was a great pilot. Would've loved to have seen the 90-minute version they showed in San Diego at Comic Con, but this was really good anyway.

With this, and Studio 60, NBC's Monday night is really solid. They just have to get rid of Howie Mandel.

~JTS

[Zedekk]

Alright here are some of my observations. the Smith and Anderson "name dropping" refrence to the Matrix might also indicate that all of this is a big mind job. Every Hero had a "sidekick" or Hero-support. And New York is the place to be if you're gonna be a hero.

I really liked it but I'm waiting for more.
Favorite Characters so far:
Time bending Japanese guy
Super Tough Cheerleader chick

[Blizzard]

That is interesting that they all had a sidekick.

[James T. Skywalker]

Ali Larter's character is one of the most intriguing to me. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly her power is. It's not quite "being in two places at once" like Inner-Demon's opening post suggests. And it's definitely dangerous.

The cliffhanger at the end of the pilot was also quite interesting, considering how much they'd hyped Milo Ventimiglia's character and his ability, and then they do a classic switch-a-roo on us.

And yeah, the presence of "sidekicks" for everyone is very, very interesting.

Hiro is definitely the most fun character so far, and I really liked Claire as well. And Mohinder could be very cool as the "Professor X" of the show.

~JTS

[P-Ray]

Heroes comes to NBC's rescue!

~JTS

Yeah I'd like to get a better insight to what her power is. the blackouts and leaving clues for her "normal" self to find, is great. I hope they continue with it and reveal more about what she can do and what it is she has done.

And Hiro is still the best so far. :cool:

[James T. Skywalker]

That was one of the creepiest episodes of a television show I've ever seen. I mean, seriously, when Hiro walks in on Isaac who's been murdered, that was crazy, and then we get to the scene with Matt Parkmen in L.A. and there's another guy who's similarly murdered... just freaky.

And again, Ali Larter's character gets even more disturbing.

I was happy that Milo Ventimiglia's character could also fly, that was a nice way to clear it up. Should be interesting to see how each of these brothers deals with this; you can kinda already see how it's gonna work out, but not quite...

Claire's in trouble, that's for sure. And Hiro's gotta help Isaac warn folks.

All in all, I liked this episode more than the first, even if it did disturb me to no end.

~JTS

[Blizzard]

^Everything JTS said and more!

This episode was better than the first and left me screaming for more.

The missing brains was way out there. And I missed who and why someone is doing that, or haven't they explained that yet?

[Zedekk]

And again, Ali Larter's character gets even more disturbing.~JTS

I just thought of something regarding her "condition" and I think they took the whole "Fight Club" idea to a differant level.

[Blizzard]

Yes, it's a split personality of some sort, but what hero qualities does that give her? That's not out of the ordinary compared to time travel and flying. I still haven't figured her out.

[James T. Skywalker]

Well a lot of comic book fanboys at other sites I frequent point out her similarities to Rose and Thorn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_and_Thorn). I also think there's a Jekyll & Hyde relation, as well, and she doesn't realize what's going on.

It's definitely a mystery to be discovered, and it's one of the more intriguing ones (as opposed to evisceration-happy, brain-stealing psychos).

~JTS
I agree...this episode was definitely better than the first.

I thought the Isaac character was dead and that's why Hiro was arrested?

It's cool how all the characters are connected.

[Zedekk]

Ah but time-bender that Hiro is will save the day :D

[James T. Skywalker]

I thought the Isaac character was dead and that's why Hiro was arrested?

Yeah, Isaac was dead... when Hiro jumped five weeks forward in time. He jumped to a possible future where Isaac was dead and that nuclear blast goes off; and he just barely is able to teleport back to his present time, with the knowledge that these terrible things are going to happen.

~JTS

[Blizzard]

Yeah, the hottie Issac is not dead yet.

[P-Ray]

Yeah, Isaac was dead... when Hiro jumped five weeks forward in time. He jumped to a possible future where Isaac was dead and that nuclear blast goes off; and he just barely is able to teleport back to his present time, with the knowledge that these terrible things are going to happen.

~JTS
Thanx! A friend of mine had to explain this to me today because I missed that part and was confused.

[Darth Star]

Darn it. I didn't really need to get hooked on another TV show.
And Hiro is still the best so far. :cool:
I love how he's named 'Hiro'.

[Javen]

I'm not a big tv watcher but this show has me hooked. I'm literally like a junkie going through DT's until next monday. This hasn't happened since Firefly.

[P-Ray]

Heroes gets full season pick up!

http://www.superherohype.com/news/heroesnews.php?id=4779

[Blizzard]

O - M - G!

Last night was a freakin awesome show. I can't wait to see how they explain Claire waking up on the autopsy table. Strange considering her "father" knows she is invincible. He wouldn't allow an autopsy, unless... he is the one doing it.

Hiro is just the best hero ever. And this time he has his sidekick with him.

Did it occur to anyone else that maybe the Jekyll & Hyde chick was the one that killed the guys she is accusing her husband of killing? Watch her suddenly find two million dollars somewhere.

And... Holy crap on the first look at our villian. Do you think he has all the traits the other heroes have and that's why it will take all of them together to stop him? Though he does have telekenisis and the other heroes don't.

[Javen]

The chick with two personaities reminds me of Hulk, sorta.

And yeah, Hiro is my favorite too. haha his name is Hiro(Hero)

Claire's step-dad dad is probably the bad guy. At least I think so.

[Blizzard]

He's a bad guy, but he's not Sylar.

[James T. Skywalker]

That was one of the best introductions for a villain in a while. Very, very good episode last night.

And the near-rape of Claire was pretty gruesome. I had to turn my eyes away for parts of that.

Niki's definitely got some major, major issues. I think, eventually, she's gonna wind up a bad guy. I dunno, just seems that way.

And Peter's older brother is an ass. Damn, that was cold.

~JTS

[Blizzard]

I totally missed Frank getting slugged outside. That was because he sold Peter out as suicidal, right?

[James T. Skywalker]

I totally missed Frank getting slugged outside. That was because he sold Peter out as suicidal, right?

Yup. Peter decked him twice.

Hiro and his buddy were pretty funny in this episode, too.

~JTS

[BobPalpatine]

Personally I think Peter's brother is going to turn up to be a baddie...

[Ripley]

I've only saw the first episode, but I like what I saw.

[BobPalpatine]

Ha! I might be right about Nathan. Here's what TV Guide has to say:

Question: Please tell me that Adrian Pasdar's character on Heroes (http://www.tvguide.com/detail/tv-show.aspx?tvobjectid=281246) doesn't turn out to be a bad guy. I know he's a politician and everything, but can't they make an exception just this once?— Laura
Ausiello: It certainly seems like they're heading in that direction. I spoke to Pasdar's TV wife, Rena Sofer, who revealed that Nathan may've taken flight before. "He used his powers once, whether he knew it or not," she teases. "And he didn't use it to help me." Sofer, who first appears later this month, adds that there's a spoiler-ish reason viewers haven't met Nathan's bride yet. (Hint: The Missus may have some, um, mobility issues.) "As evil as Nathan is and can be, he's very loving to me. He loves me, and I think in his own way, everything he does is to protect me."

[P-Ray]

I finally got the chance to watch Monday's episode and all I can say is Excellent.

The show is getting progressively better each week.

[Blizzard]

Hero Monday!

Don't forget to watch!

[P-Ray]

On Superherohype.com there is a poll of who your favorite character from 'Hereos" is, if anyone's interested.

[Tenel Ka]

I've been waiting for this all week. XD I can't wait to see Hiro in Vegas and what happens to Claire and her crazy log-necked mishap. I hope she gets back at that stupid jockstrap-boy too. :ugh:

[P-Ray]

Hiro speaks!

http://www.superherohype.com/news/heroesnews.php?id=4807

[Tenel Ka]

*just got done watching the episode* Hiro! From the future! :D!

[Darth Darthy]

He's armed with a Katana on his back and speaks perfect english! I hope they do this series justice and don't pull a "Lost" by dragging things out without any resolve.
This is getting real good.

[Master Cephus]

This is starting to be one of my favorite shows. I like it. Right now, they are still introducing everyone.

I like the show, hope they never go with tights :)

[Blizzard]

Just when I thought they couldn't make Hiro any cooler they go and make him a Ninja from the Future!

Another awesome episode.

[Master Cephus]

How awsome would it have been if the first thing future hero said was:

"Trust me, I'm Ninja!"

[Zedekk]

^:lol: Sweet! I was wondering when they would bring in a character from the future. Hiro and Claire were delving into their dark-sides this time. Hope it doesn't stick with them.

[Darth Star]

Wow! Hiro looked so cool that I wasn't sure it was him at first. I wonder if he travels back in time to do actual Ninja training.

[Blizzard]

He didn't look any older, but he must be very old now that he can speak English in a perfect America TV accent.

I like how they explained Claire escaping from the table. And yay, she gave a rapist exactly what he deserves.

I want more Isaac. That man never leaves his studio. I wanted Peter and Mohinder to walk in and witness his painting, especially since Peter was in it.

I love how the show begins and ends just like a comic book.

[James T. Skywalker]

Yeah, I really enjoyed last night's episode as well. Good stuff there. Especially since folks are starting to run into one another.

Did we see any of our favorite psychic cop this week? I missed a couple minutes while getting my laundry ready.

And damn, that was a cool transition from scared Niki to super-Niki. They telegraphed it well with the reflection in the elevator doors, but it was awesome to see what she actually did this time.

(And the "stay away from our child" line was interesting.)

Oh yeah, and the scenes with Hiro are still the best thing of the show. From him working the casinos to getting knocked out in the alley to that surprising final scene, he's definitely the coolest character so far.

And go Claire; the creep rapist deserved what he got.

Glad to finally figure out what Peter's powers were, though I think we were kind of getting an idea as of last week. Good stuff, especially since it was confirmed in the preview for the next couple weeks' episodes.

~JTS

[Master Cephus]

Glad to finally figure out what Peter's powers were, though I think we were kind of getting an idea as of last week. Good stuff, especially since it was confirmed in the preview for the next couple weeks' episodes.

I thought we pretty much knew what they were all along? Didn't he float in the episode before last?

Also, even though I like Niki's alter ego, is that a super power? I mean she just might have a split personality with a kick...

[Zedekk]

The mind reading cop was strapped down to a table and bad Dad dude and scary intimidating brother man were about to do something to him (probably remove his brain) but that scene was like 2 minutes long.

[Tenel Ka]

Yeah, the cop was the first one they showed and it was the last we saw of him all episode.

I've seen speculations on other boards saying that Simone (Issac's ex/Peter's new crush) & Micah (Niki's son) could have powers too. Any ideas on that yet? :ph34r:

[Virus]

i havent watched this show but what the heck is with that asian kid screaming? Something about it makes me crack up every time.

[James T. Skywalker]

I thought we pretty much knew what they were all along? Didn't he float in the episode before last?

Also, even though I like Niki's alter ego, is that a super power? I mean she just might have a split personality with a kick...

See if you can watch the preview for upcoming episodes that played after last night's show. Peter's powers aren't quite what you think they are...

And Niki's superpower is very much like the classic DC character Rose and Thorn. Rose, a frail young woman who wouldn't hurt anyone, becomes Thorn, a superpowered villain who kills those who get in her way. Look up the character on Wiki, she's very similar to Niki, it seems.

As for Simone and Micah, I doubt it. That would be a bit of overkill. And we've never seen any evidence indicating either of them having powers.

~JTS

[James T. Skywalker]

i havent watched this show but what the heck is with that asian kid screaming? Something about it makes me crack up every time.

What, when Hiro warps to New York? He says "Ya-ta" (spelled something to that effect, pronounced "yah-tah") which apparently translates to something close to "I did it!"

~JTS

[Zedekk]

Micah is already gifted we've seen this and he's refered to as a genius so maybe his "powers" are more along the I can fix/build anything genre. But that might be going too far. but if anything they could max out on the whiz kid building gadgets thing for his mom and have that whole Batman and whatshis name inventor thing going. But again I don't see that happening.

[P-Ray]

Yeah, I know Micah has some powers, I just can't figure it out, either.

Someone had an icon of Micah reading the same comic book Hiro has. But I don't remember seeing that in the show. I need to pay more attention.

[nefertiti]

I've been catching it, but not giving it my fullest attention. Suresh's son doesn't have any abilities, right? He's like bringing everyone together, right?

[Blizzard]

Yep. But funny enough, he has a sidekick, just like the others.

[nefertiti]

The young girl? I thought she was like just the neighbor. Ok...I'll pay better attention. SciFi replays the weeks show on the weekend (I think)...I'll catch it again. Thanks Blizzee!

[Blizzard]

Yes, Eden is just the neighbor, but she goes with him just about everywhere.

[Zedekk]

Indeed I find her somewhat annoying... besides I think she might be working for the bad guys.

[Darth Star]

^Interesting theory. :scratchchin:

[James T. Skywalker]

Indeed I find her somewhat annoying... besides I think she might be working for the bad guys.

That was exactly my first thought when she showed up. I said to myself, "What's the easiest way to keep tabs on someone that threatens your project? Have a cute, young woman create a bond with him."

Predictable, but I'm sure some people will be surprised when it turns out, towards the end of the season or so, that she's playing for the other side. ;)

~JTS

[Zedekk]

^ Great minds...

[P-Ray]

Indeed I find her somewhat annoying... besides I think she might be working for the bad guys.
I think she might with the bad guys too.

[Horse_Head]

Kick A$$!!

Heroes 3 Episode Marathon (http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/) this Sunday starting at 8... Now I can catch up on the episodes I missed most or part of.

[James T. Skywalker]

Last night's episode was, by far, the most kickass episode of the series yet!

From that very opening scene with Peter and future Hiro, followed by Nathan being taken away by Claire's father and then shooting into the sky, I knew this episode was going to rule. The cop, Greg Grunberg's character (Mark?), finally had some significant screentime, and I enjoyed his scenes a lot. We have more "meeting of the mains" as, after Niki and Nathan have met, Nathan meets Hiro and Hiro's buddy meets Niki.

But some of the best scenes were the understated ones; when Claire's father's associate screws with the quarterback's head, and when Niki's husband creepily shows up out of nowhere. I've got some theories on him, and his relation to Niki--or rather, her other ego.

And finally, Peter's powers finally manifesting the way I figured they would, and the phone call from Hiro, that was an excellent way to end the episode.

Also, I didn't miss Mohinder's presence in this episode. His "Professor X" qualities seem to have lost some of their resonance, and Peter, Isaac, and Hiro seem to be doing fine on their own.

My favorite episode of the show thus far, and it's had a very strong first five.

~JTS

[James T. Skywalker]

Anyone think they can turn some of the images from this page (http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/photos/hro_art_nathan.shtml) into avatars for the site?

That'd be awesome. Plus, Tim Sale's artwork is always cool.

~JTS

[Master Cephus]

I thought last night's episode was really good. I like Peter's powers...he's like Rogue without the side effects :)

I think this show is getting better and better. I am not liking the cop, however, and I hope they develop him a little more. I also am wondering just how many of the "special" people there actually is.

We have our 6
then Claire's father and associate
from the previews, we see another one (not to ruin it)

Also, I would like to know who Claire's father works for?

[BobPalpatine]

This is my new favorite show now by far after these last two episodes. They made me squeak in geek glee.

Damn, I want more.

Ohh, and Nikki's husband has Kitty Pryde like powers judging from this weeks interactive comic. So phasing, pretty cool stuff. I also think that the Bad Nikki was the one who commited the crime, and she framed her husband. I thought that before the comic came out, but it basically confirmed it.

[BobPalpatine]

I thought last night's episode was really good. I like Peter's powers...he's like Rogue without the side effects :)


Actually Peter's powers are more like Mimic's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimic_(comics)).

Hiro's Blog (http://blogs.nbcuni.com/hiro_blog/2006/10/let_it_ride.html)

I could use my own personal Dr. Emmett Brown or Yoda right now.
Speaking of Yoda, it looks like we're in Tatooine right now. Supposedly, this is the road to Las Vegas, but it's just sand everywhere. It feels like we're about to be attacked by Jawas. Ooh. We're just like the droids. Dibs on R2D2! I'm on a mission with my cyborg translator, アンドウロイド to deliver a message to Mister Isaku. "Isaku-san, you're my only hope." o(^^o)(o^^)o No, wait. I can't be R2D2. I'm Luke, master Jedi! Must. Find. Lightsaber.
:lol:

[Blizzard]

OMG! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rofl:

[nefertiti]

I made a point of planting myself in front of the boob-tube and catching up on the episodes. The first few, though interesting, jumped around too much for me - I got lost and lost interest. So I planned my TV time - had my "toddy" all set, slippers and robe and watched. Paid attention. And even had a chuckle or two.

It's pretty good. Now feeling more secure - I agree the "next door neighbor" has got to be on "their" side. Hiro steals the show at least once in every episode. The "cheerleader" has nerve and Claire (the blonde with the kid (?)) must have Jedi moves!

[Blizzard]

I also think that the Bad Nikki was the one who commited the crime, and she framed her husband. I thought that before the comic came out, but it basically confirmed it.
I said the same thing!

[James T. Skywalker]

The "cheerleader" has nerve and Claire (the blonde with the kid (?)) must have Jedi moves!

The cheerleader is Claire, Niki is the stripper/mom with the crazy alter-ego.

And darn, BobPalpatine stole my thunder re: D.L. and Niki. I think he turns out as a good guy, and she turns out to be a villain, or an anti-"Hero" at least.

~JTS

[TAGLINE]

I think the last episode was the best so far. Terrific performances all aroudn and a great showing by the writers to give the connections more depth.

Hiro is just so awesome. He's got that badass future self that rocks, and the sweet and lovable present.

I want to know what Niki and D.L.'s kid can do though. Since they have powers its likely he does as well.

[Horse_Head]

Anyone think they can turn some of the images from this page (http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/photos/hro_art_nathan.shtml) into avatars for the site?

That'd be awesome. Plus, Tim Sale's artwork is always cool.

~JTS
Here's a few for ya... will be added to the gallery soon.

[James T. Skywalker]

Awesome, Horse_Head. Now I just wish the "custom member titles" could be a little longer. Can't quite put "Save the cheerleader, save the world." in it. ;)

~JTS

[P-Ray]

Just finished last night's ep.

Man, what an awesome show! Next week looks to continue the trend of getting even better.

BTW, this show will definitely be a DVD purchase for me.

[James T. Skywalker]

BTW, this show will definitely be a DVD purchase for me.

Oh yeah, absolutely!

~JTS

[Horse_Head]

One more...

[Blizzard]

Those are awesome, Horse!!!

[BobPalpatine]

Sweet, now I have a new avatar. :)

Yea, I think D.L. will turn out to be a good guy judging from the online comic. We'll have to wait and see, it could all move in another direction.

Seriously this show has hit me harder than any show since the first few episodes of Lost. Can't wait for more.

[Horse_Head]

And a few more...

[P-Ray]

Seriously this show has hit me harder than any show since the first few episodes of Lost. Can't wait for more.
Me too and I now look forward to it as much as if not more than 'LOST'.

[TAGLINE]

I like this show and it has gotten better, but the writing of the show is not nearly as good as Battlestar Galactica, Lost, The Sopranos, Rome...

What they excel at is their cliffhanger endings. Those are superb. I hope that they bring in a better set of writers for the characters and stories though.

[BobPalpatine]

Well they brought in Bryan Fuller who has worked on the past two episodes, which is one of the reasons why I think they were so good. So they are moving in the right direction. I've heard that they are getting some writers who have worked on Buffy and Angel, but I don't know which ones.

[James T. Skywalker]

Oh, Buffy and Angel writers would be PERFECT for this show! Ben Edlund, Steven DeKnight, David Greenwalt, Jeffrey Bell, Marti Noxon, any of them or others who worked on either of the Buffyverse shows would be great for Heroes, especially character development. I think Greenwalt, DeKnight and Fury are involved with other projects currently (Fury's still on the staff at LOST, I believe), but any of the others would be sweet.

~JTS

[TAGLINE]

DeKnight is working on Smallville still, same basic genre.

Greenwalt is a consulting Producer on Eureka, and Knidnapped just got cancelled.

Fury is on Lost.

They could hire them for specific episodes though.

[Zedekk]

Indeed I find her somewhat annoying... besides I think she might be working for the bad guys.

That was exactly my first thought when she showed up. I said to myself, "What's the easiest way to keep tabs on someone that threatens your project? Have a cute, young woman create a bond with him."

Predictable, but I'm sure some people will be surprised when it turns out, towards the end of the season or so, that she's playing for the other side. ;)

~JTS

rvealed a bit sooner than I expected. And Claire's "parents" I totaly knew they were fakes. I'm glad Hiro's sidekick got to save his buddy from getting killt. I just wish peter had stayed and drawn some more with Isak.

[Darth Star]

^You nailed that prediction.

The look on Hiro's face when he found out that he had a sword in the future...priceless!

[Blizzard]

Yes, and the lightsaber noises while he played air sword... hilarious!

[Master Cephus]

It will be interesting to know how long Niki's husband has known about his powers. Of course he knew about them while in jail though.

Pretty good episode. You guys were right about the neighbor and I knew the bioparents were fakes.

[James T. Skywalker]

Glad to see Leonard Roberts will be around for a while, since his name is in the main credits. I liked him on Buffy, and his first episode last night was very good. Plus, who doesn't like a guy who can walk through walls?

Finally saw the Niki's the villain. Good stuff. And Mohinder's neighbor, totally predictable, but glad they revealed it sooner rather than later.

Looks like D.L. and Hiro are gonna meet up; does that mean we're gonna get D.L. to join with Peter's growing company of supers? I hope so.

And hopefully we'll get some more Nathan flying action next week, seems as though he'll play a bigger role, which is good, because as ambiguous as his character's been written, he's an interesting character.

Need more psychic cop, though!

~JTS

[Blizzard]

It's so interesting that the sidekicks are becoming more the heroes than the original heroes are.

[BobPalpatine]

Well if you check out IMDB and look up Heroes you can see who plays Sylar. It's a pretty famous actor.

[Blizzard]

That's pretty funny. Who is Texas Tina??

[Zedekk]

Yes, and the lightsaber noises while he played air sword... hilarious!

Loved that part :lol:

[P-Ray]

Good stuff. And Mohinder's neighbor, totally predictable, but glad they revealed it sooner rather than later.

~JTS
Agree completely! It was too much of a coincidence when she showed up out of no where.

Pretty good ep. though!

[Darth Star]

Save the cheerleader, save the world.

Does anyone else find it ironic that they need to "save" the character that is almost immortal?

[Master Cephus]

I think that's the point. She is destined to do something that will save the world. Which as people have pointed out, she is going to do something that no other mortal can do (I think of it like the movie I, Robot thing).

I think my big question is are all the main characters the heroes? Or are we seeing the origins of the good and bad guys? I can see how I would perceive some of the characters as good and bad, but for instance is Niki going to be bad? What about Nathan? I would think those two characters especially could be bad.

Or is it going to be Niki's good side defeating her bad side and Niki's ability is super human strength. Does she has a double personality? What about her husband?

I can see Peter, the addict, Hiro, the cop, and the cheerleader all being good, but the other two I just don't know.

[Horse_Head]

More avatars...

[Horse_Head]

[James T. Skywalker]

That last av is moving a little too fast, if you don't mind my saying. Looks great, but, might suggest slowing down the movement a little bit. It's a little jarring.

~JTS

It looks like such torture being a hero.

[kopernikuz]

Cool avatars... you need a sword bearing Hiro though... ;) That'd be sweet.

Masi (Hiro) Oka's bio (http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/bios/hiro.shtml)

After graduating from Brown University with degrees in mathematics and computer science and a theatre arts minor, Oka pursued an acting career while taking his first job at George Lucas' Oscar-winning special effects house Industrial Light & Magic. Today, despite his successful career as an actor, he continues to provide ILM with technology for groundbreaking effects for more than 30 films.

:cool:

[Javen]

If no one has it, the new Entertainment Weekly has a nice section on Heroes. Plus some spoliers for upcoming episodes.

[Blizzard]

Holy hero overload!!

Finally we see Mikah use his powers! And the fireyman? I missed his name. And I am starting to like Frank, even though he's a freakin cheater.

I just KNEW Matt's wife had to be doing some guy he worked with, if not a best friend. Ain't that how it always is?

If they showed the bad guys grabbing Isaac last week I must have missed it.

And Hiro Rules!!!!!!!

[Zedekk]

Holy hero overload


:lol:

Again great episode. Yay the kid does have powers and he knows about his momma :omg:

I don't think the bad guys nabbed Isacc. Well not that I saw in past or current episodes at least. And with that "radiation" dude just makes me wonder how many more people are out there with powers and how they're going to help save the world? I did not miss the Doc and his little assistant at all. The thing that got me was when Nathan and Peter were talking, Nathan should have told his brother to go fly to Nevada if he wanted the picture so much. Might have forced Peters hand in revealing that he can only mimic powers of those that he is around. But good stuff all around.

[Blizzard]

And do they ALL have tattoos, or just Matt and Jessica (Nikki)?

Isaac was missing in this one, and in the previews for next week the bad guys have him.

I thought this show was popular, but my son said it's not even in the top 20. Hmmm.

It always seems like the end of the episode comes waaaayy to fast... :lol:

I knew Micah had to have some type of power... Niki even mentioned to someone in a past episode, that he was good at 'fixing' things

They showed the girl that was hanging with Mohinder show up at Issac's door at the end of that episode

And Hiro sure took his sweet time (so to speak) during that car fire...

he's a techie, easiest power to hide and use all at the same time, lucky kid.

I missed that! Do you think she was trailing the Doc and Peter earlier? speaking of which does anyone know if she was in the subway car with them when future "Ninja Hiro" did his time warp dance thing? It'd be kinda cool don't you think.

And Hiro sure took his sweet time (so to speak) during that car fire...

Well if you freeze time then it doesn't matter how "long" you seem to take with whatever it is you're doing:lol: . Love Hiro's Blog on the site. He cracks me up. Has anyone been following the online comics?

Now about the tattoo and the funny "f" looking symbol... when are they going to give more clues into what thats all about?

[Horse_Head]

And do they ALL have tattoos, or just Matt and Jessica (Nikki)?

Now about the tattoo and the funny "f" looking symbol... when are they going to give more clues into what thats all about?
Well it seems as though the tatoo reveals itself the farther along they get with their powers... Just before Matt saw his appearing, they showed the Firey guy getting his mug shots and he had the begining of it too...

Just like my avatar :w00t: :eh:

Well if you freeze time then it doesn't matter how "long" you seem to take with whatever it is you're doing :lol:
I meant before he froze time... he was just lolly-gagging, taking his sweet time. I would have done it before he talked to Micah.

[jayce76]

Who in hell watches Two and a half men?

[James T. Skywalker]

I don't think the bad guys nabbed Isacc. Well not that I saw in past or current episodes at least.

The bad neighbor showed up at his door last week. Neither her nor Mr. Bennett (Horned-Rim Glasses) showed up this week. It's assumed that it happened off camera.

Good episode last week. Moved along stories that I was interested in (Matt the cop, Peter and Nathan, D.L. and Hiro), and got some progression in other stuff too. Claire's brother was funny ("I'll make a million bucks putting this on YouTube", "YouTube's free, dummy") and Niki/Jessica is just weirder and weirder.

Next week looks interesting; I really wanna know if Mr. Bennett's on the good or the bad side, but I'm guessing we won't see that anytime soon.

~JTS

[Darth Star]

Just like Anakin! ;)

I meant before he froze time... he was just lolly-gagging, taking his sweet time. I would have done it before he talked to Micah.
He sure seems to be gaining confidence in his abilities, almost cocky to wait untill the last minute.
I'm still a little confused because it seemed to me that he couldn't move them and time startred again. I must have missed something.

Claire's brother was funny ("I'll make a million bucks putting this on YouTube", "YouTube's free, dummy") and Niki/Jessica is just weirder and weirder.
That was funny. I also liked Peter's banter at the brunch. It was nice to see humour for characters other than Hiro.

Next week looks interesting; I really wanna know if Mr. Bennett's on the good or the bad side, but I'm guessing we won't see that anytime soon.

I've always thought that it was way too easy to assume that he's a bad guy.
He sure had an interesting reaction to the info he got from 'neighbor girl' the previous week; he didn't seem to care that 'the cheerleader' (his daughter) needed to be saved and was more interested that time travel was a cool power.

Did any one else think when 'Radio Active Man' told them not to upset him because he didn't know what might happen, that possibly he could be the cause of the future blast and that Claire could save the world because she wouldn't be in danger from his burning touch?

[Trilogist]

Love this show too! Haven't watched a single episode on live TV. I've been downloading and watching them on my iPod. A few thoughts ...

On the weird symbol: it looks like it's emphasizing certain parts of the genetic strand. Anyone else see that?

Claire's father, as disturbing as he might seem, doesn't strike me as a bad guy (so to speak an "evil" character). He might be preparing for their survival. Who knows. And his silent sidekick might be his best body guard against the real baddies. But I could be way off here.

Hiro coming from the future to get the ball rolling struck me as very Terminator. Save John Connor! I mean the cheerleader, and save the world! I love that. Why did he choose to appear to Peter for this task? Because only Claire can save herself. Therefore, Peter has to be the one.

[Master Cephus]

I have wondered about that, why Hiro chose Peter and not just go to the cheerleader and say "Hey you're going to save the world"

I think Mr. Bennett could be a potential good guy. Or maybe his job is a government job to study everyone with super powers so the goverment would be ready in case something happened. Maybe his job is to "wipe out" all the people with super powers. He doesn't want to kill Claire, so he is in a way protecting her...

A long shot I know.

Maybe his job is to "wipe out" all the people with super powers. He doesn't want to kill Claire, so he is in a way protecting her...

I actually like this vein of thought that Claire's "Dad" could be the guy trying to help the Heroes save the world and he knows what has to be done regardless of what people may think of his methods. Thus far he's had his hands on two Heroes that I've seen, and both of them have walked away from it, not dead. 'Course Nathan escaped, before anything could be "done" to him, so... Also anotherthing hit me, do you think that the people who have been captured by Bennett are also the people who are getting the mark on them, that maybe he put like a tracking sensor thingy in 'em that manifests itself as said tattoo? Hiro doesn't have one does he? what about Nikki's kid and DL? As far as Claire saving the world and Hiro's Ninja-self telling Peter about it, that might have something to do with the scar that Ninja-Hiro mentioned when first meeting P.P. "You look different without the scar" If Peter can help the Cheerleader save the world he might not get the scar, by mimicing Clair's powers while being in proximity he will heal.

[Darth Star]

I have wondered about that, why Hiro chose Peter and not just go to the cheerleader and say "Hey you're going to save the world"

I think that he chose to "visit" Peter, because of his mimicking abilities, which is why PP didn't freeze in time with everyone else (IMO). I also think that Claire won't be able to do it alone.

I forgot about that line.

[kopernikuz]

This is exactly right. Hiro could only go to visit Peter... because otherwise when he froze time, everyone else would be frozen too, including Claire. Peter is the only one he could visit, because Peter would be immune to it just as Hiro is... because of his proximity to Hiro.

[Trilogist]

True, but if he truly needed to visit someone else, he could just unfreeze time when they're in a private place and talk to them. He tried to do that with Isaac.

[Blizzard]

They showed the girl that was hanging with Mohinder show up at Issac's door at the end of that episode
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, that's right!

And Hiro sure took his sweet time (so to speak) during that car fire...
I think because he has the comic. He knows exactly what is going to happen, he doesn't have to hurry. But.... then why didn't he see the punch to the face coming, and the whole thing with Jessica killing the gamblers?

Just like Anakin! ;)
LOL!

Save John Connor!
LOL again! Yes, it was just like that!

"You look different without the scar"
I forgot about that, too! Great observation!

I really need to find a way to read the webcomics! I need more Heroes!!!

Is that not the meaning of the symbol?

[Javen]

This symbol has been seen everywhere in the show.

It's actually in the pool at that house where the cop found the little girl.

[Javen]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh, that's right!
I think because he has the comic. He knows exactly what is going to happen, he doesn't have to hurry. But.... then why didn't he see the punch to the face coming, and the whole thing with Jessica killing the gamblers?

He probably doesn't remember every detail. PLus gotta have suspense for teh show.

[Darth Star]

I believe that the comic stopped shortly after they arrived in Vegas, which is why he didn't see the punch coming. At first I couldn't figure out why his future self didn't do something about the punch but I think that he believes that he deserved it and he is afraid to screw up the time space continuum by being in two places at once.

[Zedekk]

:w00t: OMFG! this show keeps getting better. How do they do it? Almost thought they were going to introduce a new catch phrase: "Find the Haitian, bring down the bad guys." Anyways; yay, Hiro has a girlfriend, boo, she doesn't have a brain. Okay that's mean, but so was introducting a brand new character, having her be so awesomely kewl, and then killin' her off all in the same episode. So claire's Dad is tracking the special ones for the sake of saving the world (if you can believe him) and Syfer is just taking their brains. Now I know that this week will drag on forever, because I can't wait until next Monday.

[Blizzard]

For a second I thought the guy in the shadows was Hiro from the future until he used the Force.

I agree, Charlie was an awesome new hero, hopefully Hiro can save her and not get lost. He did show up in her B-Day picture.

[nefertiti]

Another great show! Kept me on the edged of my seat! Is Hiro in trouble? He didn't come back after "5".... I missed who the kid with the soccer ball was? Probably blinked :bigsmile: ..the show goes so fast!

Good show!

[Blizzard]

I didn't grasp who the kid was, either. Just that he was another hero, who could enter Mohinders dreams. And Mohinder's father knew the kid was a hero.

You'd think with Hiro changing the space time continuim by changing the past he'd come back to a different future. Things that make you go hmmmm.

[Zedekk]

^ Ah yes but this is what builds character in a hero and gives him a better understanding of himself and how he should use his powers so it'll be a very interesting development for Hiro-san

[TAGLINE]

The Kid was intially the first guy Mohinder's father studied on having special abilities.

[Horse_Head]

^ Yeah... the file Mohinder found in the locked drawer was on the kid...

[Darth Star]

^Yeah. At first I thought that the boy was young Mohinder.
My questions from this episode:
How was Peter able to use the dream power last week when he hasn't had contact with the boy? Or did I miss something? (alright that was about last week, kinda).

As Hiro changes history by going to the past will Ando (and everyone else) suddenly forget the parts that changed? (I love time travel philosophy.)
EDIT: Blizz basically asked the same question above.

[nefertiti]

And that time-travel stuff is interesting...so how are the writers going to make that plausable?

[TAGLINE]

um...how do you make anything involving Time Travel plausible? Or mutant powers?

[Blizzard]

um...how do you make anything involving Time Travel plausible? Or mutant powers?
Or the Force. :nahnah:

[TAGLINE]

Or the Force. :nahnah:

I dunno what you are talking about, I use the Force all the time.

[Blizzard]

Ha, so do I.

So tonight we find out what Hiro meant when he said, "Save the cheerleader, save the world!"

[James T. Skywalker]

Last episode before they go to reruns following sweeps? Darn. It was just getting great. :)

~JTS

[P-Ray]

Guess who Hiro's dad wil be?

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/tvnews.php?id=17637

[nefertiti]

Cool P-Ray....

Did the announcer last night say 16 weeks until the next episode? 16 week?! Excellent show! Once Peter "touched" Claire - figured he'd "assume" some of her power. Great show!

[Blizzard]

Yep, we knew Peter would be fine once he met Claire before everything went down.

Didn't know Eden would be able to get to Sylar with her whispering.

I didn't hear 16 weeks here, I heard, "Next week on an all new Heroes!" so I am slightly confused.

Sulu! LOL, that will be awesome!

[Blizzard]

Next week's show is brand new:
MONDAY 9/8c
"6 Months Ago"
Delve six months into the past when their abilities were only just beginning...

[Blizzard]

And Wooo, we have our very own Hero in Albert Lea, Minnesota! How obsure!

[nefertiti]

Whew!....my bad! Must be the old age demon again...

[P-Ray]

minor scoop!

http://www.superherohype.com/news.php?id=4933

[Darth Star]

Save the Cheerleader, save the world.
Get arrested.

Hiro didn't tell Peter everything.

[nefertiti]

Another good show! Poor Hiro... But now we know he has limitations. At some point I expect he'll have to make a choice. Talk about drama!!! Good background!

[P-Ray]

Crap! my power went out and it didn't tape.

[James T. Skywalker]

This was a very, very good episode. It answered a few of our questions, especially regarding Sylar and Mr. Bennett, but opened up a few more--especially in regards to the manifestation of powers (is it times of emotional or psychological distress, much like mutants in the Marvel Universe, or something else) and the limitations of certain characters, like Hiro.

Please don't kill off D.L. like I think they're gonna do... every show needs their Buffyverse castaways!

~JTS

[Master Cephus]

My question is why couldn't Hiro have went back again when he ended up in Japan again. Why were his powers suddenly removed. I understand in the storyline he had to learn that he wasn't going to be able to save her, but in his reality, what limited him?

I thought this was a good episode. Nathan first (I guess we are to assume) saw his powers when he was under distress. We see how Sylar came to be. Are we to assume that he is some type of leech where he can consume other powers (I think that was the assumption before the episode, I am just trying to understand)?

I have a question about Niki. Is her power super strength and her power is just manifested by her split personality? I hope this is the case and not that her sister actually is inside her. I think it would be a good storyline if she had to understand her powers and learn to keep Jessica dormant.

It seems the most powerful "hero" is the guy Mr. Bennett keeps around. He has the ability to make any power dormant.

[Darth Darthy]

He couldn't stop Peter's brother from flying away a few episodes ago even though he tried to supress it.

I am curious as to why Hiro suddenly teleported when he was about to kiss her. Would that kiss have changed everything in the timeline that had already happend and therefore couldn't happen?

"Gleat Scot!"

[Master Cephus]

I am thinking that powers, if not trained, seem to happen under emotional times. He kissing the girl would have caused some type of big emotion (we are assuming) that caused him to use his powers. Similar to when Nathan was driving and just floated up.

[nefertiti]

I have a real dilemma tonight…premier of The Closer (I love Brenda!) and a Heroes not to be missed….at the same time. Yes, I also have a VCR…but that’s not the point. I’ll have to view one show on tape…. TV Guides take on the show tonight and some hints of future events….

[Javen]

Are you On That List?

[Blizzard]

Maybe. Are you on the list?

[Zedekk]

Yay, they have another catch phrase! I was wondering what they were going to do after they "Saved the cheerleader, saved the world." How cool is that Haitian guy? I think he's the one thats gonna save them all somehow... maybe neutralize the bomb guy. I'm very glad Isacc figured out how to "clean up" his gift. Still bummed about Hiro losing his girlfriend though. The Nikki/Jessica thing is getting old and boring. But being sent to prision will only empower the Jesica persona more, so that might not be a "good" thing. I'm glad Hiro is the guy who gets to meet all of the other heroes.

[Horse_Head]

OK... So does Peter "blow up" because of all the Hero overload? i.e. having "all" the heroes around him at once...

Just my 2 cents...

[Zedekk]

Well my theory is that Peter is in range of the "radiation" guy, and doesn't know how to control the power and.... bom!

my 2 cents

[P-Ray]

Well my theory is that Peter is in range of the "radiation" guy, and doesn't know how to control the power and.... bom!

That's what I was thinking.

[TAGLINE]

Jack Coleman is the show's MVP right now. He's the most captivating and mysterious character I can recall on network TV.

[Blizzard]

And who is Jack Coleman? I haven't gone all fangirl yet and looked up their real names.

I, too, believe it will have something to do with the radiation guy. Unless they throw yet another hero at us.

And remember, Hiro doesn't meet Peter until after he gets a scar. Peter completely healed after the roof jump.

[Darth Star]

Maybe Peter doesn't get the scar because history changed by saving the cheerlearder.
...just a theory.

[Zedekk]

Time-traveling Hiro needs to fight the "dragon!" I'm psyched!!!

[Blizzard]

I think it was a T-Rex. Remember in the diner when he said if he made a wrong jump he'd be eaten by a T-Rex? :lol:

All I can do is echo the praise for this episode. Best one yet!

And 24 has gotta win Best Drama, of course. Heroes isn't quite on 24's level yet.

Question: Now that your frienemy has reported that Jessalyn Gilsig is joining Heroes (http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/heroes/281246) as Claire's real mom, do we have to wait long to find out what her powers are?— R.W.
Ausiello: Not if you can figure out this clue: Think Drew Barrymore — pre-comeback.

What's that supposed to mean? That her super power is to handle copious amounts of drugs and alcohol and still live?

[nefertiti]

How about Firestarter?

[Horse_Head]

^ Nah... probably her interactions with Extra Terrestrials... :nahnah:

"Heroes" star and special effects artist-turned-actor Masi Oka is in talks to play a supporting role in casino-set thriller 21, says The Hollywood Reporter (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=18212#).

Claire "the cheerleader" Bennett has an album coming out this year. I didn't know she sang.

Ausiello's report Some SPOILERS

[TAGLINE]

They showed a HILARIOUS clip on the Tonight Show when Masi Oka was on. It was between Hiro and Nathan...and they have AWESOME chemistry. Look for it on youtube sometime.

[Blizzard]

LOL! I saw that!

It was also hilarious when Masi Oka came out on stage with his dick in a box and gave the box to the previous guest, Justin Timberlake. (SNL fans will get that.)

Hiro interview!

[Blizzard]

Wooo!! One more week!

[Darth Darthy]

I forgot how good this show is. It's even better without all those damn commericals. Thank the maker for t'internet.

BTW Bliz, that's a cool avatar. I always liked pixel art, seems to be a dying thing these days.

[Blizzard]

Thanks, I got the images from Netmarble and edited the heck out of them.

Last night it said we had 2 more weeks... damn, I thought it was returning on the 15th. But the Golden Globes or something is on next week. Damn, again.

[Blizzard]

Wow, had to save this thread from page three!

Wow again! Niki is quite screwed, isn't she. How is she going to get out to be there to save everyone from this bomb?

Linderman... betcha he ends up being another hero. EVERYTHING is revolving around him.

Are you on the list? Mr. Glasses get to use the line, I love it!

Simone needs to make up her mind or just get the hell off the show.

I love that Claire is taking back what they took from her. Zack is going to be her best friend whether he likes it or not. "As far as you know, this was attempt number one." :love:

And Hiro and Ando! Best duo since Batman and Robin!

Best line, "FLYING MAN!!!"

[Zedekk]

^ LOL bestline indeed
Hiro: "FLYING MAN! *makes motion with hand* WHOOOOOOSH!"
Petrelli: "Can you keep that quite?"
Hiro: *makes a smaller motion with hand* "...whooosh."

[Darth Darthy]

Would they just kill Nikki or the cop bloke please?!? These plots aren't going anywhere and aren't interesting. Nikki's loonacy and her kid (possibly the worst child actor since Jake Lloyd farted his lines out) are just damn annoying. And the cop comes from the acting school of dull. Some of these characters have to get wacked at some point, I just hope it isn't someone like Ando.

[P-Ray]

This isn't 24!:grin:

[Master Cephus]

This episode was very slow to me all the way until about 10 minutes left. They basically did a regurgitation of what we all knew up until then. I can't remember if it was like this before.

I liked what they did with Claire. Tired of Nikki and the Cop. Something needs to happen with their characters.

I don't think Linderman has powers (he could though), but I think he is paying HRG to do the dirty work.

[P-Ray]

Who will die on NBC's hereos!

[Aayla Secura]

I just wanted to say that here in Australia, Heroes is premiering this Wednesday (31st January) and I'm really excited to see it! I haven't read much of this thread because I don't want to spoil the story but I've seen ads for the show and it sounds really good.

[Sam Kenobi]

I've noticed a trend with TV Dramas. The ones that I think look stupid I end up loving. I LOVE THIS SHOW.

Hopefully, NBC will keep the reruns up for a while, as the first one I saw is the one where Sylus kills the wrong cheerleader.

Anyone read about Masi Oka on TOS? How he used to work at ILM and all that jazz? Very interesting.

[nefertiti]

SPOILER....it's title is "
A Hero Will Die!

Brace yourself for shocking revelations and unexpected plot twists"

[James T. Skywalker]

Hopefully, NBC will keep the reruns up for a while, as the first one I saw is the one where Sylus kills the wrong cheerleader.

That was the third-to-last episode prior to the mid-season December break. And his name is Sylar.

~JTS

[Master Cephus]

'Gulp'!

[Blizzard]

And no one died. Yet. YAY!

Father? LMAO!!!! I absolutely love this show. I don't want it to end, but I can't imagine it being any good past one season.

[kopernikuz]

I don't want it to end, but I can't imagine it being any good past one season.
Why? It's a big list... and not all of them are gonna be "heroes" ;) There's plenty of fodder to go forward with.

[Master Cephus]

I wonder how next season will go...

When this big event is thwarted, what happens? Is there a Justice League created that fights the bad guys with powers? If done properly, I think it could work, but if they bring out elastic, I am going to stop watching :)

[Sam Kenobi]

That was the third-to-last episode prior to the mid-season December break. And his name is Sylar.

~JTS

I was close :nahnah:

[Master Cephus]

So let's start the speculation...

Who is Claire's father going to be?

[kopernikuz]

Linderman :)

[Blizzard]

My first thought was Nathan! And he will think that will hinder his political career.

If her father turns out to be her real father I am just going to cry!!!

[kopernikuz]

Yeah, I get the feeling Nathan has been around ;) I could see this totally, though I hope it isn't.

I hope it's someone new and surprising that we've not seen yet, like Linderman or someone.

[Master Cephus]

Her 'fazer' was wearing a pink button up shirt. I think HRG only wears white shirts right?

[Blizzard]

I don't know, I am not into fashion.

[nefertiti]

Pretty good write up on last nights episode - possible SPOILERS.....

http://community.tvguide.com/forum.jspa?forumID=700007978

Who's "Broken Nose?" After seeing the link to imdb.com on the SW TV, I tried it for Heroes... only guy I didn't remember seeing was "Broken Nose" -....

[Zedekk]

Wasn't "broken Nose" the guard that got smacked up by nikki/Jessica?

Man you beat me to it! :)

[Blizzard]

Hehehehehehehehehehe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :happydance:

[Zedekk]

NO! :censored: WAY!

*can't decide if I'm happy or dissapointed about the development here. Nice to know the family is saving each other.

[Sam Kenobi]

I wish I had a day where I coujld just sit at home and watch the first ten episodes. Too bad.

[Master Cephus]

So we are seeing that it's a family genetic thing. I wonder if they tie Claire's mom to the police officer or something.

Overall a pretty good episode last night. I thought that Hiro's father was a little light and not very good.

[kopernikuz]

I thought it was kind of cool that it was Nate, but is it just me... or is this HUGE list becoming smaller by the minute? We're led to believe this is happening all over, but people are way too connected. Either that's significant... or it's kind of a poor writing effort to grab "convenient" twists. I'm a little nervous about where it's headed there, but the show has delivered so far, so I am anxious to see how they explain all these "cooincidences"... "destinies" ;)

[Blizzard]

Oh I am so going to tease all the people who have been writing fan fic about Peter and Claire getting together... because Peter is Claire's UNCLE!!

Uwk! That is almost as bad as Luke and Leia turning out to be twins. ;)

[kopernikuz]

ROTFL!!! Too funny... :lol:

[Zedekk]

"Save your niece, save the world."

[TAGLINE]

Thing is...he said "I have to remember how she made me feel" when he used the power to heal himself...

What EXACTLY was he "feeling"?

Classic Lucas screenplay foot in mouth disease... symptoms include minor inconsistencies and is usually derived from a tendency to make it up as you go along.

Then this "feeling" and the powers will probably be given a scientific explanation about creatures that live in our cells...and communicate with the heroes...

Lucas was making it up? No...you are joking...but he had it all planned out...
:rofl:

[P-Ray]

Great ep. ,IMO!

Didn't guess Claire's father at all!

[Sam Kenobi]

So we are seeing that it's a family genetic thing. I wonder if they tie Claire's mom to the police officer or something.

Overall a pretty good episode last night. I thought that Hiro's father was a little light and not very good.

That's George Takai. Sulu from Star Trek and official announcer on The Howard Stern Show.

[Blizzard]

Everyone is still in shock from this last show, aren't you?
