Just a couple things to add

* I knew the escalator scene looked familiar but I couldn't place it, I thought twins at first (devito/scharzenegger)

* The tattoo on Nikki's back could be like how Lana (smallville) gets the tattoo on her back, it is there and she doesn't even know it, like it appeared, wouldn't be surprised if all heroes have this tattoo and possibly do not know it

* Looks like Peter does get everyone's abilities, there is a short clip in future episodes where his eyes turn grey just like the artists.

* Should be interesting to see what happens to cheerleader from carwreck, it looks like an accident like that will require the jaws of life to get her out, even if she does manage to fully heal - so she may get caught in a pickle trying to explain how she survived unscathed and why she was driving it into a wall.

* It only makes sense that whenever the heroes use their powers for evil they get some sort of karmic payback, maybe Hiro and his buddy got theirs with the ### whooping they receive. Hiro should be knocked out from that punch so it will be interesting what the writers do to save them, maybe Nikki makes an appearance somehow(?)

Very good ep - looking forward to next week.

Or the computer program that displays that symbol is Micah's father.Or the painting of that symbol is Micah's father.I still doubt that is his father. Strongly.

I agree hulk. And I also think that this whole story is taking place around 10 years in the future. Did you see the calendars in the background!? ;)
 
Love the show. It seems to be getting better every week. Someone mentioned that Nathan could be swayed by Claire's dad, but it was pretty evident from the preview that he flew away from Claire's dad and the black guy.

Also, Claire's dad told Matt that he wouldn't remember anything and told the black guy to go in pretty deep, so I think it is pretty clear that he has a power similar to Matt's but that he is way more advanced and was able to overpower Matt and wipe out his memories of the meeting.

I still don't quite get Claire's dad, but he doesn't strike me as 100% evil yet. He is not on Sylar's level of killing people and he seemed to confirm to Matt that he was government, but not one of the departments with initials. He would almost have to be in order to have the amount of funding he seems to have. He seems only to want to identify and investigate the Heroes, not get rid of them. Makes me wonder if he had anything to do with Mohinder's dad's death or if that was Sylar as well. His dad wasn't cut open, but Sylar would have known that he was not special, so no need to suck out the brains.

By the way, to whoever mentioned it before, I was thinking about the scene in Rain Man when Hiro and his buddy came down the elevator in the suits.

No need to kick a man while he is down, no need at all.Funny though. :lmao:
 
Hey, what does everyone think Micah's power will be? This whole thing is based on genetics and we have already seen Peter/Nathan the brothers and the fact that their mom mentioned that their dad had the same tortured feeling like he was special when I think she said he killed himself.

It would seem from the Peter/Nathan storyline that Micah would have some special ability. I don't think everyone's parents were special, but it seems like once special, the offspring will be as well. Also, with Peter/Nathan, it is clearly not a specific ability that is passed down.

With as much air time as Micah gets, you would think that he will definitely develop something.

 
One of the biggest things I got out of last night's show is that the cheerleader (Claire?) has the cabability within herself to kill.

That gives us two "good guys"...Claire and Nikki who are capable of killing.

I am thoroughly convinced that the older brother is not evil, and definitely not Sylar. The overall arc of the show is that these are ordinary people with ordinary problems. His particular issue is self-centeredness and his desire to be successful. As his character grows, he will look past all that as he begins to embrace his role as a hero.

I think they will bring one of the characters down the road to becoming a villan.

If only to set up the point where they get to redeem themselves? Hmm...

Did anyone notice when the cop was on the table and Horn Rimmed Glasses was walking away he was able to catch a piece of information from one of their minds. Then HRG said something like "they're coming along more quickly than expected". This would imply that all of their powers could be as result of some government experiment. HRG is just in charge of the project to monitor them.

Thoughts?

Now that you mention it, when Hiro said he looks different without his scar, can we reasonably assume that Hiro had never met Peter until after he had the scar?So if they are meeting anytime soon, then maybe Peter will get his scar soon?

Definitely crossed my mind that if Claire's dad is government (seems to be based on his funding, his not killing, his investigating, his knowledge of who has powers, and his comment to Matt that he wasn't part of something with initials, i.e. CIA, FBI...), that the genetic changes could have been "forced," hence the branding with that symbol.Also, did everyone notice that it seemed like Claire's dad knew that Nikki had a power too. He said to the black guy something like "just take that one." He wanted to investigate Nathan, but not Nikki yet.
 
I like the show a lot. But I've got a bit of a problem with last night's episode.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if I were to rape and kill a cheerleader, dump her body in a creek, and then see her at school the next day, my friggin' head would explode.

And you can bet Hayden Penattiere's sweet ### I would most definitely NOT be giving her a ride home EVER. In fact, coming withing 25 feet of her would take an extraordinary amount of courage.

That being said, it was pretty awesome when she whacked him. Good work, ya little monkey. :wub:

 
I had a thought about the explosion. There were some references to Uluru, which was depicted as a rock monster on the comic cover.

Does anyone think that the explosion was not nuclear, rather was an asteroid collision?

Just thinking out loud.

 
While I have nothing interesting to add to this thread, posting in it makes it easier to follow.

Hiro is definitely the best character on the show. They are really going to need and explain how there is only one guy from Japan with powers and everyone else is an American.

Did you notice that he was willing to sell the painting of Uluru, because he painted it sober.Plus, the nurse boy was not on heroin when he mimiced the power.Methinks he does not need the heroin to paint the future.

This was my favorite bit. That and the fact that they appeared to be playing at the Montecino (sp?), which is the fictional casino in Las Vegas.And while Hiro's ninja get-up could have been stolen from any number of sources, I couldn't help thinking of Hiro Protagonist, the samurai wielding pizza delivery specialist from Snow Crash.It's a fun show. I'm not as in love with it as some are, but it's nice to see a big network embrace pure genre television in the Xena/Buffy tradition. These are shows that can be purely entertaining while still being every bit as "serious" as the 8th time some baby dies on ER.

Don't forget what Claire's dad said about Matt, that he was getting better with his powers more quickly. I would bet he doesn't need the heroin either down the road, but with the heroin now he is able to paint the future. Without the heroin, he is not yet able to see the future.By the way, I don't remember him saying he wanted to sell that painting. He probably did, but I missed what he said he was selling. I just remember him asking her to get back some of his earlier paintings that he already sold.I would assume the rock monster is important just because it was in that comic strip online. Also, don't you think that it was the rock monster/or something that size converging on Claire in his vision? It sure didn't look like the shadow of a normal sized person. She was on the steps and her own shadow was just around her and the chasing shadow dwarfed her by a good amount.

There was a pile of paintings by the door that he wanted her to sell. Uluru was on top. He didn't want her to sell anything he painted while high, and she wanted to sell the ones he painted when he was high.
 
Is it posible that Claire's dad is trying to track down the heroes not only to study them, but to save them from Sylar?

Can we all agree that Mohinder's father is dead? Mohinder ID'd the body and sent it to be cremated. It'd be kinda lame for his father to come back later and be like, "Sike!!! :points fingers: *snick*" :mellow:

He's probably dead, but he is played by a recognizable actor. In a show where a major character can travel through time, I don't think it's inconsistent to say that a character's death doesn't really mean we won't be seeing them again.
 
NBC has released an official write-up for the sixth episode of Heroes. The write-up for episode 5 (next week) is earlier in this thread.

Be warned of spoilers!



TWO HEROES TOGETHER ARE STRONGER THAN TWO HEROES APART; LEONARD ROBERTS ("BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER") JOINS THE CAST AS D.L. HAWKINS, A FUGITIVE THAT POLICE CAN'T HOLD -- Hiro (Masi Oka) and his buddy embark on their heroic journey to New York, when they are stopped by a Vegas high-roller who offers them a deal they can't refuse. As H.R.G (guest star Jack Coleman) sets up a meeting for his daughter Claire (Hayden Panettiere) with her biological parents, she hopes that questions about her newfound indestructibility can be answered. Meanwhile, Isaac (Santiago Cabrera) receives another confusing call from Hiro, but Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) is there this time to pick up the phone and relay a life-saving message. Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy) bids farewell to Eden (guest star Nora Zehetner) as he heads back to India to bury his father. An unexpected visitor shows up at Niki's (Ali Larter) home. Greg Grunberg, Adrian Pasdar, Noah Grey-Cabey and Tawny Cypress also star.

Well he can't right now, I'm sure that is something he will develop in the future. But yeah, future Hiro is awesome.

I just assumed that was part of Peters powers. He was able to be in time warp with Hito because he was near him. Future Hito would have already known Peters powers from his future dealings with him.

That or he is too used to Peter with the scar to remember what he looked like.

I still think it's Hiro's power that stopped time and he choose to let Peter see him. Hiro wasn't anywhere near him whem the train stopped. Hiro's powers now will be more developed in the future, like all superhero's. I also think that Peter absorbing powers will be much like Rougue, where he has to touch the person. He touched Issac while saving his life and his brother while his brother was being rescued.
 
Apparently Hiro is named for Hiroshima, in remembrance of his grandfather who died in the atomic bombing.

So, perhaps he has even more interest in saving NYC than he would normally.

Why do you limit Peter's potential to grow his powers but not Hiro's? Under you logic Peter could develop his powers in a manner that would allow him to use Hiro's power without touching him just as easily as Hiro develops his, in your theory.

Because it was real-time Peter who hasn't had a chance to develop his powers yet, contrasted with Hiro from teh future who has had time to develop.
 
Just finished watching last nights episode. Absolutely awesome. :thumbup:

DoubleG>Hi! Would you please make this the *****Official Heroes thread*****? I seached three pages just looking for the "Official threads" and finally figured out that you must not have named the thread correctly Thx for the fix!

 
Guess I have to ask a stupid question - never caught Sylar sucking brains to gain powers. Is that just a theory, or was that represented in an episode?

Thanks,

MO

 
I'm sure its really minor, but what if Peter SENT Hiro back to deliver a message to himself. In current time, that'd just be creepy to try to comprehend.
