Maybe he can't use his powers around other "special" people??!?
I don't think there was any special reason. I just think it happened too fast and his buddy distracted him by talking to him and pulling on his arm when he was trying. Apparently he needs to concentrate for a few seconds before he can time-stop.Any ideas on why Hiro wasn't able to stop time while he and Ando were in hiding in the bathroom?
Agreed. I think he just got distracted before he could do it.I don't think there was any special reason.

He's used his powers around Peter.My guess is he was too freaked out to concentrate sufficiently.Any ideas on why Hiro wasn't able to stop time while he and Ando were in hiding in the bathroom?
My guess is the scar will be the half helix we've seen everywhere else.EYLive said:
From the wikipedia website on Heroes - LinkAs Mr. Bennet sets up a meeting for his daughter Claire with her biological parents, she hopes that questions about her newfound abilities can be answered. When Claire meets with her "bio-parents", they reveal that her biological mother did not want to keep the baby and that there is a medical history of diabetes and cancer in her biological parents families, but nothing that gives her any additional information regarding Claire's special healing abilities. During the meeting, Mr. Bennet receives a call from Eden who relays all the information she learned from Mohinder. Mr. Bennet tells her to bring in Isaac. As Claire's parents leave, Mr. Bennet walks them to their car and thanks them, stating that he doesn't think their services will be required anymore. But while cleaning up, Sandra Bennet reveals to Claire how surprised she was that Mr. Bennet had found her biological parents, since when she was first adopted, the Bennets had frantically tried to find Claire's biological parents to no avail due to an unspecified genetic defect.Tecumseh said:
Just an FYI, but Claire's mom knows nothing. I think Claire's dad just fed her some chromosome potential issue as his excuse to find her birth parents. Her mom mentioned that in passing to Claire because she doesn't know anything about Claire's power either. Claire put 2 and 2 together and just realized that her dad does know that she is special and that he setup the meeting to get her to stop looking for her parents.shadyridr said:
I don't think so...Claire is still in the dark about her dad's involvement.
Why? Did you see the look she gave her dad when she hugged him at the end? Her reaction to her mom's info and then her non-happy hug definitely said to me that she knew he knew she was special. Not sure if she realizes everything he is doing.Also, don't forget that she said her dad was a simple man to her geeky friend early on, which foreshadowed her realizing that she was wrong about him.
They'll save New York in the season finale, but the übervillain (Sylar?) will escape to wreak havoc in Season Two.
Yeah, I think Claire's reaction to the "sick as a kid" thing was that she was gaining further evidence that there's "something" different about her, that's she's got "something" and maybe trying to research whatever it was that affected her as a baby is a new clue to her. I don't think she put the dad and the fake parents thing together....yet.
Do we know yet if he's adopted as well? Or is he the spawn of Daddy Horn Rims?
DL sticks his arm through Nikki and she goes down. He grabs Micah who is reaching for her and leaves. Then neighbor chick goes to Isaac's apartment (Peter is not there) and tells Isaac she is a big fan. You probably saw the conversation with Claire's dad that talked about going to see Isaac. Next they show Nikki on the floor and the announcer is talking about evolution and surviving or perishing. That and the fact that Nikki is not in next week's preview gave me the feeling that maybe she is dead.The preview is kind of all over the place. They show Mohinder holding a Schlage key (sorry but I know the brand of the key), then they show a couple splices, someone holding a photo, the image of the symbol that Isaac rubbed off the top layer of paint, Micah sitting there, a severely burned body getting examined, Peter talking to someone and then a big reveal that the secret is out. They show Nathan saying "what if people knew what we could do" and then show Claire's brother seeing her heal and her telling him not to say anything. After that, they show Hiro and buddy meeting DL and Micah and all of them attempting to save someone from a bad accident on the highway.Hope that helps!anyone?
While I don't think she knows everything yet, and how could she know everything her dad is up to. Heck, I don't think she has any clue about other people with powers. What I think she does know is that her dad does know what she is capable of and that he setup that meeting to sooth her. She knows that he was checking into her birth parents because he knew about her special qualities.Not sure about the genetic thing as the chromosome line might have just been to throw some big words at her pretty much clueless mom to make her not think twice about dad looking into the birth parents.

My recording did the same thing. It seems quite a few shows do it too. I wish they would change the programming so those things record 2-3 minutes after the show is "scheduled" to end.Thanks.

If you do not tivo anything at 10:00 then you can program the recording to tivo how ever many minutes after the show ends. If you tivo something at 10, then you are screwed unless you want to clip the first 2-5 minutes of the 10:00 show. I tivo Studio 60 and Friday night Lights (last night) so I am always able to see the end of HeroesI love this show and to answer a lot of the questions that have been asked, believe that each of these people are only starting to understand what they can do. Like Hiro's buddy said, its a learning process and it is a journey. I cant wait to see how they band together. Does anyone else think that Nikki may be swayed to the Villian side. We have only just caught glimpses of the bad dudes (Claires Dad and partner in crime) and I can defnitely see Nikki being evil and DL being the good guy which is opposite of how they are being portrayed in the first few episodesMy recording did the same thing.

This has nothing to do with furthering the plot/character discussion, but Hiro and his friend are hilarious."I have a sword?"And when they are going into the bathroom-Poker player "You guys go to the bathroom together?"Hiro's friend "That's how we roll."
I agree. I also like how they keep the Japanese language throughout their dialogue with subtitles.

Nitpick.Why go into the bathroom for privacy to tell Hiro something in a language no one else at the table understood anyway?I agree.

It seemed that she was thinking something significant, but there's really nothing that adds up to a conclusion as far as we know. Anyone care to speculate on what she was thinking, beyond what's above? I think she's just suspicious now, not that she knows anything.
So they wouldn't get killed by Nikki?Nitpick.Why go into the bathroom for privacy to tell Hiro something in a language no one else at the table understood anyway?I agree.

To get away from the guy with a gun, first. Secondly, I was thinking that they'd go into the bathroom, hiro would use his powers and take the gun, empty the bullets, or something, and they'd go back in, get money, and leave. I dunno, but it was a reaction on the friends part to get away from the guy with the gun under the table...totally understandable to me.So they wouldn't get killed by Nikki?Nitpick.Why go into the bathroom for privacy to tell Hiro something in a language no one else at the table understood anyway?I agree.

Shrug, he's a perceptive kid and might have a perception gift, whether it's super-hearing, mind-reading, or a sixth-sense about things. He's also a genius, so my guess is that it's a combo of super-perception (reading situations) and genius.He knew his father was innocent beyond the typical kid believing in parents deal. He knew, but the mom didn't, and he continued to believe it in spite of what his mother told him. It'd be a shame if nikki was dead...I doubt they'd kill her off that easily, and that uneventfully.
He was associated with the heist somehow, but i doubt he was a crewmember as nikki killed all of them. I think he just helped set it up. The husband said that one of the guys that was part of the original heist knew who this girl was, which associated the gambler guy with nikki. Husband was going to go there the next day to clear his name and find info on this mystery girl, but nikki got up in the middle of the night as her alter ego and went back to their traditional hangout, which she would've known about as she was part of the heist, and killed him before he could talk.The card guys probably just wanted to figure out how hiro and friend cheated, and take their money and then kill them.
Seems like they've put a lot of work into her character so far so I doubt they'd kill her off so soon.
MY thought is that she'll come back 90% bad girl, instead of the other way around like it has been. Probably will team up with horn-rimmed-glasses guy and the baddies to get those with powers and get her son back.
I think he was the "fence"
No kidding, I would prefer Sofer over Nikki any day. Brunette with blue eyes. Doesn't get much better than that.

The cowboy just wanted to make some money with Hiro and his buddy. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.Also, I don't think Nikki knew anything about the guys playing poker otherwise she would have killed them before. DL told her that there was one guy involved with the heist who knew that he had bailed and wasn't part of it. Once he told her that, she went out at night and killed the guy and the other two at the table.
That wasn't Linderman's gang. The guy with the gun laundered the money "evil" Niki stole from Linderman. No one there was involved with the heist itself. Cowboy Hat was forcing Hiro and Ando to cheat the guy out of some money.
She definately comes back almost full time as bad Nikki, with good Nikki showing up as often as bad Nikki has in the past. Isaac's rubbing the paint off the painting to reveal her tatoo tells me that. After Calire's mom's mention of chromosome testing, I think that symbol is a 3rd DNA strand that the "super" people have.
If you were a waek little computer Japanes geek and you saw a gun was pointed at you from under a table, you would probably crap your pants and run from it too. He also didn't want Hiro to freak out and give away that he knew about the gun by over-reacting.Nitpick.Why go into the bathroom for privacy to tell Hiro something in a language no one else at the table understood anyway?I agree.

Probably so. I bet the guy with the glasses, cheerleaders dad, is part of an agency that did experimental testing on kids + adults, genetic testing, and they marked the kids with a tattoo to be able to track them. That's his job, and it's part of tracking them and finding out what they've been up to. I'm guessing they adopted this girl as something bad happened to the parents, and she was a good subject for experiments, so the dad adopted one of the experimentees just to keep a closer watch on her, not knowing exactly what'd happen. Or maybe baby was sick so the only hope she had for living was to be a subject in an experiment by the dad on her genes...?3rd DNA strand makes sense though, or at the very least some sort of DNA structure different and superior to standard DNA.
