I hear you. I "record" the show on an HTPC and have to wait 20 minutes into the show before I start watching to buffer in enough time to blow past the commercials. It's a tough 20 minutes.

Good idea.....

My wife and I DVR everything that we watch regularly, including, of course, Heroes. Also, we typically watch the shows 1-4 days later. Not Heroes though... We do the 20-minute wait to avoid commercials.

Sometimes my DVR kick's off too soon and I may I have missed the end or previews of next weeks show. I hate Cablevision.

If I could wait, I bet this series would be an absolute blast to watch on DVD marathon-style.

But, it's so good, I just can't wait that long!

I tried to not watch Dr. Who intending to wait for the DVDs. That failed pretty miserably so the DVDs are the second time around. Even though I get up at 4:00AM I have been unable to even wait until the next night for Heroes. If Star Trek fans werew trekkies, what are Heroes fans?

Sometimes my DVR kick's off too soon and I may I have missed the end or previews of next weeks show. I hate Cablevision. Don't blame Cablevision, blame NBC. They tag the show as 9pm to 10pm but it often runs over 3-4 minutes. Add a few minutes to the end for Heroes' timer....

Veterans of time shifting with VCR's and DVR's have long practiced the strategy of padding their recordings.

YMMV

Okay, when are the episodes available at NBC ?? My wife accidentally stopped the recording... No, she didn't do it on purpose as she likes the show too.

License plate on George Takei's car NCC-1701...how cool is that!

Right as he and Hiro's sister gets into the car at the end.

Even HRG's ID had no first name on it.

wow... this episode rocked.....this is the first series that has me anticipating each week

I didn't expect that at all....

Best surprise ending ever. Nathan is Claire's father. I did not see that happening.

So....Peter doesn't have to be near the others. He and Sylar are the same: they keep the powers. Now, there's a weird connection.

Weakest ep in a while......but I'm still on board.

damnit...it should have been Linderman...I thought they telegraphed it way too much for it to be Nathan...well thats it, no more previews for me....that was a terrible spoiler in the last week previews...

heh, still in love with the show and can't wait to see the rest...Its pretty easy to understand why I watch this live and DVR 24

Maybe once Uncle Peter finishes his Jedi training, he'll have an epic showdown with Sylar, saving Claire (again) in the process.

Oh Dear God this show is so good!!!! It leaves me drooling for Monday Nights! Thankfully NBC secured it for another season.

Maybe once Uncle Peter finishes his Jedi training, he'll have an epic showdown with Sylar, saving Claire (again) in the process.
It wasn't until I read your post that it 'clicked' that Peter is now technically Claire's uncle. Makes sense why they never had him say she was wicked hot.

Best surprise ending ever. Nathan is Claire's father. I did not see that happening.

It's been the prevailing theory on the Internet for the past week.

The previews showed his watch, ring, and hand, and everyone ID'd it as Nathan's hand.

So....Peter doesn't have to be near the others. He and Sylar are the same: they keep the powers. Now, there's a weird connection.

This would imply that Peter has Sylar's powers now. Would that include all the powers that Sylar has acquired as well?

I'm a little surprised - has Peter encountered nuclear guy before or is it that his powers are "colliding" as described?

I would have thought it would have been the former.

I like when Claire's mom was talking to Sylar about calling HRG 'Mr. Bennett.' She then goes on to say 'why don't you just call him.....' and then interrupts herself because of the dog. Clever.

This would imply that Peter has Sylar's powers now. Would that include all the powers that Sylar has acquired as well?

If the Invisible Man is right, then Peter is like a sponge, absorbing the abilities of the others. He just needs to figure out, as he apparently is doing, how to squeeze those out at will when needed.

If it is merely being around someone with abilities, he certainly was around Sylar. Presumably, then, Peter has telekenesis. That, and the ability to steal brains. :eek:

Not sure if the weird color tint for NYC scenes is new this season on not. Noticed they were weaker color and either deliberately color shifted a bit toward purple or that's what my color settings result in. (Doubt it, since that's the only program segment, or program, with those tints.) If it's not just something in my setup, guess it's an editing decision to mark the location jump. If so, prefer the truest color and best resolution possible myself (plus location subtitles) to wondering whether your display is misadjusted. To boost resolution to the max, wish they'd test some telecine scanning at 4k X 2k, with downconversion to 1920X1080, or try one of the new digital-cinema TV cameras such as the Panavision Genesis that performs a similar oversampling/downconversion internally. -- John

Grrrrrrrrrrr! I've moved to Gainesville and they have no NBCHD here at the moment due to ongoing failed contract negotiations. I like Heroes enough to be watching it anyway even in analog but can't comment on the above :(.

Awesome! Didn't even catch that one! Just wanted to add (and perhaps state the obvious) that having George Takei on was brilliant. (Remember when Sulu was having an hallucination and seeing daggers on the sides of the Enterprise? He was told to change direction..."NO, captain!" <-- my fave Sulu moment

I am so pissed at my local NBC affiliate. They ran local school closings from the weather all night. Instead of doing it in a thin line that scrolls ala CNN or something, they put up a huge banner on the bottom of the screen that took up 1/4 of the entire screen (I measured, I was so mad). This squashed the picture, caused bars on the side, so I had to watch the show in a small box instead of the full HD screen. It also ruined the stereo sound for some reason, instead of dolby it was just stereo. Ruined the night for me. They ran that all night long, over and over again. Dang that pissed me off.

LOL...let's hope they sneak in a Luke and Leia kiss before they find out, so we can all scream "NO PETER, SHE'S YOUR SISTER!"

I don't really mind the sneak peak at next week's episode at the end of the show but what are they doing now? Before last night's show they showed us "What you'll see tonight". I mean what's up with that? Why not just go with "Previously on" and leave it at that?

Yeah, they really need not continue that, its a waste of two good minutes. Also, now that we know who Claire's father is, those marketing gurus need to lay off on the previews. As most posters keep saying, they are definitely giving away too much. It was easy to figure it out from what was shown. Other shows, use their previews to entice while sending you off in a completely different direction from what you thought you saw in the previews. Let's hope they take heed soon and cut it out or they'll ruin a good thing.

Ahhh.... cutting out the garbage at the beginning, the commercials, and the preview for next week is a beautiful thing. Just pure content is the way to go...

damnit...it should have been Linderman...I thought they telegraphed it way too much for it to be Nathan...well thats it, no more previews for me....that was a terrible spoiler in the last week previews...


I avoid the previews, but I managed to stumble upon mentions of it reading this forum (which reminds me, why am I still here?). Even if didn't come here, I would have caught the "she'll find out who her daddy is" bit right before the show started. It's almost like they want to spoil it, I fast forwarded through it but it rewound a bit so I'd see the entire beginning, and caught that. Don't they realize people watching at that point are watching to see the damn show?!?! Do they think someone is watching who might decide "ah to hell with it, I won't watch... but wait... we'll find out who Claire's daddy is! Scratch that, I'm in!"

This is kind of similar to Battlestar Galactica, in a way--the show starts with "Previously on Battlestar Galactica" and shows some highlights to help you out for the episode, then there is a bit of story and a mini-surprise of some sort, setting up the story, then the opening credits, then a montage of scenes you will actually see later in the episode. In many ways it is very spoilerish, and we just fast forward through. Guess I'll have to do that with Heroes now, too.

Here's hoping that George Takei and Hiro's sister aren't just throw away one shot characters. Since the special abilities run in families, Sulu and the sister probably have abilities, too. The sister might be super-intelligent, for example, since they showed us how smart she is.

Oh my!!!

This would imply that Peter has Sylar's powers now. Would that include all the powers that Sylar has acquired as well?

I think Sylar's real power is to figuring what's wrong with something and how to fix it. If Peter absorbed anything, it could be that, but I doubt Peter wants to think about Sylar to bring up his power.

I'm a little surprised - has Peter encountered nuclear guy before or is it that his powers are "colliding" as described?

I don't remember Peter encountering Ted. I think only Matt and Hana were the ones who contacted Ted on the episodes so far. Peter went into shock because he started thinking about all the "Heroes" he has met before all at once.

Here's hoping that George Takei and Hiro's sister aren't just throw away one shot characters. Since the special abilities run in families, Sulu and the sister probably have abilities, too. The sister might be super-intelligent, for example, since they showed us how smart she is.

If these powers are inherited, it is most likely that Father Nakamura and Sister Nakamura both could have powers as well. On the other hand, a thought came across to me that Hiro might be adopted. The nerdy Hiro and the rest of the Nakamura family don't seem to fit well, at least, to me.

Maybe this has been already discussed, but did invisible man given any explanation as to why his clothes are invisible as well as purses he grabs, but not a clothing rack he's stopping by holding it?

Yeah, that could just be an error, or maybe they need to completely hold it from other contacts.

Another question is, do people hear what they are saying while invisible? People around them seem not to react to their conversation. Well, this could be just because they are in a busy city street. Also, Claude did cover Peter's mouth when he was chased by Mohinder and Nathan...

Hong.

So far Peter met these known "Heroes": Nathan, Hiro, Isaac, Claire, Sylar, Matt, Claude. Those are quite a bit of powers.

That story that Simone's father told before he died (that Peter came by or something)... Maybe Peter can even remotely link with someone (unless he was sleep-flying). Probably his subconscious while sleeping is able to do more.

Hong.

What would the offspring of a flying man and a woman the controls fire logically be?

A dragon?

I suspect they all can have multiple powers. They just develop some power at a point of crises. They all get a power that saves them at that moment and then they keep it. They could get other powers but the one they have keeps them from realizing it too easily.

Dang that pissed me off.Sounds like you were watching WTHR13-HD. If I'm not mistaken, many affiliates don't (yet) have the ability to overlay those weather/school delay banners onto HD. So the solution is to butcher the picture....and I really wanted to record last night's ep. But the 'delay' banner was for the greater good...

Can we assume at this point that Sylar is injured? Given that he was shot by Bennet with a normal gun with normal bullets, he doesn't have the ability to self-heal does he? He would have had to kill Claire to obtain that ability. It would have taken a considerably large caliber gun to throw him against that refrigerator...

He was shot several times by mind-reading cop...and he's still walking. I would assume that it takes him longer to heal than Claire, but he's got SOME kind of healing mojo going on...

It was brought up in another forum, I think.

They are thinking it isn't really the power of invisibility, but the mental power to make those around you not see you.

This would work for your person, clothing, and anything you happen to be holding.

They also threw "light bending" out there, which could also explain it.


jerry

Come on - when you saw Sylar wake up in the previous episode, this possibility never even crossed your mind?

yeah but I didn't need to see the outcome of a critical scene two minutes before it happened in the actual show...

I fully agree. Nearly every new series is getting the pilot ran more than once.

Also, I am a bit upset that I now know there will be a twist. :(

I can't agree more!

For some reason the little things bother me. First we see Sylar shot and he crashed into the refrigerator then ran off, and Claire's mom is hurt. When we return to the scene Clair's mom is pretty much back to normal, and the kitchen is fine (except for the glass Claire found). Did HRG rush out and buy a new frige? Does someone else have healing powers?

What would the offspring of a flying man and a woman the controls fire logically be?
Claire...duh! :D

Um...there are smart women out there, without having to have superpowers... ;)

But, I agree: I hope we see more of George and Hiro's sister. And I further agree with Ando--she's pretty cute!

They are thinking it isn't really the power of invisibility, but the mental power to make those around you not see you.

Peter saw his own hands start to turn invisible when he lost control.

Probably all about control. I'll bet he can choose what things in his immediate area disappear or remain visible.

Ok so what about the comment by the black chick (sorry don't remember her name) to the painter (sic) "You don't just see the future, you create it"

Anyone else think that maybe this foretells the artist trying to change the future through painting it the way he wants it?

When I first heard this it struck me as weird. I think what she meant by this was that by both of them seeing the painting of the two of them meeting on the roof top it promted both of them to go to the rooftop and share a "moment". Thereby, createing the future. For example, if I painted a picture of the future that showed me wining the lotto I would run to the nearest store and buy a ticket.

I think the Invisible man's power allows him to also turn anything invisible that he touches or posses, thus his clothes and the things he takes (i.e. the purse in the last episode) turn invisible. Wikipedia also says that it extends to his voice so that he is truly invisible.

Weird thing is, I think he has always been invisible, at least in all the shots of him. I wonder if he can turn it off? :confused:

Wouldn't you think that there would be several news reports written about all the people who have been "bumped" into by an invisible something and had there things vanish in mid air? I for one would totally freak if I was pushed by seemingly nothing or had my belonging vanish before my eye's while walking down the middle of the sideway.

HRG had a small army of guys taking care of putting everything back in order before Mom's memory was erased. They missed the piece of glass that Claire found. OK, not bothered any more? ;)

I wonder if the mom-actress (she also played sex-addict Gina on Nip/Tuck) is preggers? Seems to be going around (Amanda Peet on 'Studio 60', Jaime Pressly on 'Earl' for starters). That certainly was an unattractive outfit they had her in, almost looked like maternity clothes. Don't know how you'd find her hot in that outfit, but to each his own. ;)

I say put me in suspended animation for 10 years and let's narrow the gap. 10 years is just pathetic, not creepy :-)Well, I've never been the kind of person that age difference was a big deal to. When I was 20 I started a three year relationship with a girl who was 25, and then when I was 30 I went out (and ended up living with for a couple years) a girl who was 18 at the time... But last Sunday when I went to a superbowl party with a bunch of long time friends, I couldn't help but notice how some of their young daughters are really "blossoming" now and looking good :eek:. Since I don't have any kids I guess I don't have the "father" perspective that counteracts that. But even so I have to say, I definitely felt a bit guilty/creepy for thinking about it though :D.

Anyone on here not afraid to admit that Claire is hot? B/c she sure is! :)I could probably admit she was hot if I were 18. I recognized her in Remember The Titans, that TNT showed recently (she was the assistant coach's little girl). To myself, she's still a mere child.

Linderman not daddy and it WAS a joke.

How do you think it's going to play out next week with Nathan and Claire? From the previews, it looks like she wants to see him and he is going to visit.

Will they both make the connection with Peter, i.e. Nathan realizing Peter saved the life of his daugther and/or Claire relaizing that Peter is actually her uncle? Or will HRG and/or events with Sylar intervene to prevent that reunion?

Honestly, I hope they don't make this too tangled. I really hate twists like that as they are contrived and annoying.

I thought she looked pregnant as well.
Jessalyn Gilsig and her husband had their first child (Penelope) on September 26th, 2006.

Ah, that explains the outfit then. She still doesn't have her "pre-preggers" figure back and they're hiding it.

and they're hiding it Not very well!

Oops, missed this post somehow. Didn't mean to offend, although statments like that invariably do. And I was referencing myself, not others :-).

No offense taken...... :)

What would the offspring of a flying man and a woman [who] controls fire logically be? The Human Torch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Torch) (aka Johnny Storm), obviously!

making Nathan Claire's father was a terrible idea,
I thought it was going to be Eric Roberts,who is joining the cast

I loved it! I started laughing when I saw it. Grabbing a frame now.

If you ever watched any of the series or movies...you ALWAYS saw these numbers/letters when they showed the ship moving across the screen.

I must be totally lost....what do the letters and numbers on the license plate represent?
The registry number for just about any Starship named Enterprise in the Star Trek movies/TV shows. George Takei was a Lt Sulu in the original Star Trek series plus several movies:

NCC-1701

its the Da Vinci Code..... you guys solved the mystery... LMAOOOO

I don't believe Peter ever told Claire his last name. So she may not connect Nathan to Peter.

Nathan did not actually meet the cheerleader, although if introduced to a cheerleader from Odessa, TX, he might make the connection. But the way the series has been going, probably not. Characters meet all the time on this series and never realize what their connection is.

Thanks guys. I thought I missed something crucial about the show. That is cool. I've never been a Star Trek fan. Something about Darth Vador gives me the creeps :D

I'm pretty sure at some point she asked to speak to "Peter Petrelli", I think it was after the Homecoming when Peter was under arrest for suspicion of killing the other cheerleader.

you better be kidding with that Tony! I am not a star trek or star wars fanatic but I know you don't put them together. BAD TONY!! the backlash will be fast and abusive unless you apologize. Tell them it was an honest mistake, duck TONY they already started to throw their pocket protectors, good thing they cant throw!!!

She asked for him right after Daddy saved her. She learned his full name when she was in the police station. Now she is not suppose to remember the name. Once she see Pertrelli she can do the math.

LOL!!!!! 100% joke. The part about me not knowing what the license plate meant was true, as I've never been a Star Trek fan. As far as the last line about Vador....100% joke since I'm a huge Spaceballs fan. I added the :D to try and show I was being funny. I guess I didn't do a good job..hehehe. I've been using that line for years with my Trek head friends when they start discussing those shows/movies.

I tell you I have been watching Star wars / Star trek for years but I would never be able to pick up something like these guys have. I just don't watch these shows that closely. Give me Spaceballs any day, dare I say it, to any of the trek/wars films. There is nothing better then a good "Lieutenant *******" to make a smile come on anyones face.

One can hope this will happen next week. They can't drag these out too long, especially considering what the audience knows. It will become extremely frustrating if they prolong characters learning things we know.

One can hope this will happen next week. They can't drag these out too long ...A reasonably safe bet. One thing this show does NOT do is "drag things out too long" -- its beauty is the speed at which it moves! :)

question.. is it true that Heroes now broadcasts in both 720P and 1080i?

question.. is it true that Heroes now broadcasts in both 720P and 1080i?Where would it run in 720P? NBC is 1080i.

Where would it run in 720P? NBC is 1080i.

If there are any local NBC affiliates in the USA running 720p, it would be in 720p.

It may also be in 720p on 1 or more channels outside of the USA.

I have know direct knowledge of either, but that is where you could possibly find Heroes in 720p.

Is anyone getting the show in 5.1? I've only been getting it in 2 channel stereo since the beginning. I imagine it's a local problem since I don't see anyone mentioning it.

Maybe this has been already discussed, but did invisible man given any explanation as to why his clothes are invisible as well as purses he grabs, but not a clothing rack he's stopping by holding it?


Mitch

I keep getting the feeling that he is not really invisible per se. But rather, he is just completely not noticed.

I don't see how, unless he's an hypnotist(?)

Well c'mon guys! This is a TV show modelled after comic books. If you want to pick holes in it, you could go on forever!

How does Micah's dad (I can't remember his name off-hand) walk through walls with his clothes on?
Why does Claire's blood often just disappear as her cuts heal?
Etc...

I suggest you sit back and enjoy the ride!

I agree. Maybe it is his subconscious or its him controlling his power.

"I want my clothes, the money I take out of this purse, etc. to be invisible. I don't really want an entire rack to disappear as that would be too weird and people would notice."

Same with Micah's dad. "I would like my clothes to come through with me"

We really don't know the extent of their powers yet or if eventually Micah's dad could pull other people through solid objects if he wanted to or if the invisible man could make someone else invisible if he wanted to.

But really, just watch and enjoy.

Don't know If this was already mentioned/posted...

I was watching the Grammy's tonite....and Nathan (in real life) is married to that Short Lead Singer of the Dixie Chicks...

Then why did Peter's hand turn invisible?

Then why did Peter's hand turn invisible?

Don't know if this question was rhetorical, but it's because when he thinks of several heroes (and thus, their powers) at once, he sort of "overwhelms" his ability to control it and starts to lose control.

Marcus, you got me there. It just seems that in the scenes he is "there & not invisible' but nobody "sees" him. I guess a better explanation from the show is needed.

Then we have the answer that Nathan is not one of the good guys. ;)

Just a light-hearted jab at the Dixie Chicks (by way of the husband of one of Chicks). I like their music, but don't like the way they expressed their political opinions in the past.

Thus, if the Chicks are/were evil (as many felt they were), then Nathan must be equally evil. Like I wrote, it was meant to be light-hearted.

Well, that was a deceptive little Heroes teaser during Deal or No Deal :eek:.

Another great episode of Heroes.

I am having a hard time describing the new ability/power that Sylar got after he killed Zane.
It's like he can melt objects.

Poor Claire has double daddy issues!

Anyone notice the name of the Casino/Hotel that Ando and Hiro were at?

:D :D

We must have a writer that loves some Star Trek...notice the other ST puns?

So, does HRG know who Claire's daddy really is? I suspect no.

"Someone Flies, Someone Dies" Did they give it all away in the previews?

Somewhat of a slow episode...but still good stuff...

I can't wait for next week

STUPID 6412 DVR almost didn't record it...ugh I hate this piece of trash

My question is why didn't Sylar just kill that doctor?

Would you kill your source to more "food"?

I still don't understand why Sylar wasn't hurt by the bullets.

I still don't understand why Sylar wasn't hurt by the bullets.

He used his telekinesis to slow down the bullets only enough so they wouldn't kill him.
So it was as if he was wearing armor.

Wouldn't Slyar's powers have been blocked by the Haitian dude?

Would you kill your source to more "food"?Exactly. The doc doesn't have powers, anyway. At least not yet.

The teaser during Deal or No Deal said we'd meet a new hero last night. Instead we met two. Hearing-Aid lady and Dissolve-Dude.

I still don't understand why Sylar wasn't hurt by the bullets.

...another possibility would be that Sylar was in contact with Peter when they fell and may have picked up invulnerability from his contact with him. We are assuming that Sylar has to kill the person to get the power, but maybe the killing part is just a bonus :eek:

Would you kill your source to more "food"?

For sure. Sylar looked like a food junkie at an all you can eat buffet.

I just now realized the guy playing Peter was on American Dreams...doh!

Sylar was on 24.. :rolleyes:

good episode..not great

i know who dies... and it isnt a hero.........

Wouldn't Slyar's powers have been blocked by the Haitian dude?

It happened so fast, he probably didn't have time to focus. I don't think the Haitian dude can just cast out and block everything. He has to focus like everyone else. He didn't even know where in the house Sylar was. Just a thought.

Okay episode. Kind of like a filler episode. The Hiro stuff was, as usual, hilarous. The rest was just so so. Not much happened, not much to advance the stories.

I thought tonight's episode was one of the better ones. The drama with Nikki and the Super-hearing Policeman was a lot of fun. Mr Toaster Melter was a new twist. Hiro and Ando trying to find the bag in the gangster's room was suspenseful. At least we didn't have to put up with any more of Peter's angst ridden moments.

Hmmmm....the lead singer made one statement to the effect of "We're ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas". It was made offhand during a concert, not at a press conference. The press picked it up and ran with it.

The real tragedy is that people aren't allowed to voice their opinions without being ostracized for it.

Considering how his terms have played out, and being from Texas myself, I can't say I disagree with her statement.

Exactly. The doc doesn't have powers, anyway. At least not yet.

The teaser during Deal or No Deal said we'd meet a new hero last night. Instead we met two. Hearing-Aid lady and Dissolve-Dude.

Didn't see the teaser... no commercials for me. Nor did I see the lady in the episode.

Another great episode of Heroes.

I am having a hard time describing the new ability/power that Sylar got after he killed Zane.
It's like he can melt objects.

It looks like he can break down molecular bonds rather then melt (implies heat). Interesting power...more so now that Sylar has it.

So, does HRG know who Claire's daddy really is? I suspect no.

"Someone Flies, Someone Dies" Did they give it all away in the previews?


Ok, I HATE THE WHISPERING VOICES on the previews, starting with "save the cheerleader, save the world" in a childs voice. Crazy. Hiro said those the first time, and he wasn't whispering. Marketing departments are idiots :-|

My question is why didn't Sylar just kill that doctor?

He can use him to find more victims (much like he used his Mohinder's father, until he caught on).

The real tragedy is that people aren't allowed to voice their opinions without being ostracized for it.

Considering how his terms have played out, and being from Texas myself, I can't say I disagree with her statement.

It works both ways.


Now who here thinks Claire got a raw deal so far for dads?

Nathan is in shock, im sure he wants to go to her just can't.
Her current father really loves her and wants to protect her, just messing up.

Road to hell is paved....

The real tragedy is that people aren't allowed to voice their opinions without being ostracized for it. No one said she wasn't allowed to say the things she said.... On the other hand, no one is obligated to still "like" her or the band or their music.

She also said it in England, not the US. I'm not so sure how well her comments would have went over anywhere in the US.

The real tragedy is that people aren't allowed to voice their opinions without being ostracized for it.People have the right to free speech... there's no right to "free speech without consequence."

In addition to her infamous Bush quote, she also said that the Dixie Chicks don't want country music fans anymore, so I've been more than happy to oblige.

FWIW, "Someone flies, someone dies" has been the new tag line for two or three weeks now, along with the "no one is safe" character montage at the end of the promo featuring a single frame each of most major characters on the show.

Consequences are one thing, but death/rape threats and the name calling that went on afterward were uncalled for. I'd ditched my fan base too if they were that fickle.

We've hijacked the thread enough as it is, I'll drop it.

Man, it looks as though HRG's wife has reached the limit of Voodoo-Man's neuralizations; one more and she'll turn into a zombie......or develop a cool new power.

if HRG takes her mind again... she will then not even know how to spell THE

Man, it looks as though HRG's wife has reached the limit of Voodoo-Man's neuralizations; one more and she'll turn into a zombie......or develop a cool new power.

Yeah, I feel sorry for her....she doesn't even remember her beloved pooch Mr Whatever (I call him Mr Bigglesworth, although I know that's not right).

Exactly. The doc doesn't have powers, anyway. At least not yet.

The teaser during Deal or No Deal said we'd meet a new hero last night. Instead we met two. Hearing-Aid lady and Dissolve-Dude.

hearing-aid lady? WTF?


Any ideas on who is going to die?

I have no inside information but my bet would either be A) Nikki or B) HRG's Wife

Wouldn't Slyar's powers have been blocked by the Haitian dude?
That is a good point, How would he be able to use his powers with the haitian guy there? Plus he was shot before maybe he has some kind of deflective power to protect him in just these situations. But then this gets us too deep into conversation about. What are the Haitian's true powers? Other then mind cleansing. How strong is Sylar? He could stop bullets, you can't go wrong with that. Unless he can use physical powers but nothing mental when the Haitian is around. Maybe HRG missed and so did Matt? I don't think so, they both caught him by surprise when he was ready to use a mental power.

We can ask questions for the days however, there will always be things that will remain unaswered. The bottom line is the show remians at this brisk pace and gets closer and closer to the show downs we want to see and have been waiting for, Hiro with Linderman, Everyone with Peter, Sylar against Peter, Jessica with Nathan Pt 2, this one will be more of an internal battle because Nikki won't let this one happen because she knows Nathan and any others that seem to be leading up to this season.

Exactly. The doc doesn't have powers, anyway. At least not yet.

The teaser during Deal or No Deal said we'd meet a new hero last night. Instead we met two. Hearing-Aid lady and Dissolve-Dude.
I thought we weren't suppose to be posting new characters until they appeared on the show? That should have been given a spoiler alert. Just letting you know there are a lot of people sensitive to things like that. So let them decide if they want to read about the new character or not.

I saw it so I know who they revealed. I know they are searching for all the Gen People but The show might get to confusing if the keep all these newbies on too long. Charlie was a good addition, short and sweet, kept us talking for weeks but she was only on screen for a total of maybe 20 min in 2 episodes.

Yeah, I feel sorry for her....she doesn't even remember her beloved poochShe doesn't even remember Claire. Oh well, hopefully she remembers how to put food on her family.

someone flies and someone dies.... and someone will be by themselve soon....

its going to be sadI know it can be hard to keep a secret and you just seem itching to spill the beans. But I think this post and the previous one telling everyone that the person who will die is not a Hero are a little more info than some people might really want to know...



ron

She doesn't even remember Claire. Oh well, hopefully she remembers how to put food on her family.

Put food on her family? ;)

Does anyone have all the Comics uploaded? I can't open them at work, it says the file is corrupted. I want to print them at work which has the "free" & fast color printer and I like to save each issue. At home it takes to long to print out. I had up to episode 9. If anyone is able to share feel free to PM. Thanks guys.

Anyone notice the name of the Casino/Hotel that Ando and Hiro were at?

:D :D

We must have a writer that loves some Star Trek...notice the other ST puns? They were at The Montecito last time, too. (It's the hotel in NBC's "Vegas" for those who don't know.) I'm still waiting for a Hiro guest spot on Vegas... he's been showing up on just about every other NBC show it seems. :p

And the "Sulu" line was great!

Put food on her family? ;)It's a world of madmen and uncertainty and potential mental losses. I think we all agree, the past is over.

not really it can be alot of people....

Holy buckets, NBC's site reveals a ton of answers to questions floating around about Sylar, gotta put it in spoiler if you don't want to know. It also tells us about if Sylar got the lady from the diner or not.

In the latest graphic novel, Sylar is shown as actually getting shot by Mr. Bennet (some where wondering how he escaped it) when he was in their house. They said he got hit in the stomach and Sylar spent some time cleaning and dressing his own wounds and sewing himself up. He says that if he could of gotten Claire's power he wouldn't have to worry but he didn't. So he has to interact with their brain somehow, not just be around them. They also finally answered the question about the diner. He definitely got her powers to remember anything he sees or hears. He uses it to learn to drive a semi in a few minutes. So Hiro didn't save her in the end. The novel showed him using his powers, pretty cool. He also was concerned on how he would find more people with powers and when Suresh shows up he says problem solved. All in all, a darn good graphic novel episode.

Holy buckets, when you say it like that I am thinking this is a huge spoiler that even I have to stay away from!!!! But thank you for understanding that the comics are spoilers too. I didn't get to the last comic as you see by my post above which is another reason why I shouldn't highlight.

After the first seven I didn't read/see any clues on the comics, is there anybody that got something out of them before it was revealed in the show?

OT alert:
BSG fans you will be happy to know thatSciFi renewed it for a fourth season, which is tentatively set to premiere in January 2008. I know there is a lot of you guys here.

hearing-aid lady? WTF? During a Deal or No Deal intermission last night, they deceptively showed what appeared to be a preview of last night's Heroes. But what was shown in the preview did not appear in the episode; I assume it will be part of next week's ep instead (I won't spoil it any further, but it was an interesting snippet).




Any ideas on who is going to die?

I have no inside information but my bet would either be A) Nikki or B) HRG's WifePerhaps Jessica will die, getting everyone off the hook.

I don't know...remember in one of the earlier shows when Isaac was found dead courtesy of a then unknown Syler?

If Hiro couldn't save Charlie, he might not be able to save Isaac either and now with Mohinder having Syler in tow...

They may have thier work cut out for them just trying to save NYC...Isaac may be just the urgent warning that the end is near.

Does Peter actually dream the future (which he is able to then change)? At the end of Godsend Peter dreams about himself exploding and sees Simone who is grabbed by Isaac. If Isaac is alive when Peter explodes then Sylar didn't/won't get to him.

look out for the upcoming episode entitled "Zoom, Zoom"

lol funny stuff man. it does sound like the same damn kid...

No killing blondes!!!!!!

EDIT - one exception - Missi Pyle can go - in fact I'll start a write in campaign......

No killing blondes!!!!!!

EDIT - one exception - Missi Pyle can go - in fact I'll start a write in campaign......I think rezzy meant evil Jessica would die but good Nikki would still be around. So no regulars actually lose their job on the show. Which wouldn't be so bad if darlin' Nikki went back to doing her old "job" instead of being a hitman.

This may have been mentioned, but I was watching the LOST recap show from last week and noticed the Pilot of the plane is the actor that plays Matt (the Cop) on Heroes. At least I'm pretty sure it was him.

Yep, he also was in Alias.

Yep, he also was in Alias.

He was also in MI:III

I'd like to see Sylar try and get next to Claire's real mom; that could be quite interesting (I predict she'll save Claire at some point). BTW, why the heck hasn't HRG moved his family elsewhere? It's only a matter of time before they get attacked again in that location.

I don't know...remember in one of the earlier shows when Isaac was found dead courtesy of a then unknown Syler?

If Hiro couldn't save Charlie, he might not be able to save Isaac either".

You need to be carefully this statement can lead to pages of conversations about the timelime. Original timeline)Hiro saw Isaac dead but that was during his drug days then NYC blows up. timeline 2)He has since cleaned up which probably wasn't a factor in the first meeting. 3)Hiro now knows Isaac and they both know he can paint the future. Plus he knows that NYC and himself was suppose to be gone buy Nov 8. Why would he stay now? other then to stop people from becoming the big boom(which I think still won't be Peter) 4) and final time line, Infinity, since everything has changed their futures can not be destined to happen unless Isaac draws it NOW! This is why he continues to paint like crazy. He is trying to find Peter (if the cause of the NYC bye bye)and has found him in at leats 3 of the drawings we saw on MON, but since he is invisible he doesn't appear on the painting.

Check back a few pages and there was big conversation about time travel and changing the future

Do we even know what day it is anymore, the easiest assumption is that the election has not happened.

I think in this week's episode, Nathan's mother made mention of the fact that the election was only 2 weeks away and he needed to focus on that instead of the news of his daughter. So it hasn't happened yet.

He was also in MI:III

The director of the Feb.12 episode "Run" is Roxann Dawson.
Is she the one who played Torres in "Star Trek - Voyager"?

Trekkies have affirmed.

Funny how those shows cranked out so many TV directors. Unemployment insurance indeed!

It looks like he can break down molecular bonds rather then melt (implies heat). Interesting power...more so now that Sylar has it.

Exactly. I am looking forward to seeing when Sylar finds others on the list, breaks down the molecular bonds of the lower half of a new hero (killing them), and then examining the brain to figure out the power and get it.

Now he won't need any weapons to kill, he'll just break down the molecules...bwahahahahahahan :D

My guess is that it doesn't work on biological tissue. Probably only metal and plastics.

Without reading the other 80+ pages, I am sure there have been other cynics about the show, even though I love it and think it is great.

Here goes IMO.

I saw the interview with the cheerleader, Hayden Panettiere on the Today show with Matt Lauer. She mentioned the show has already signed on for next year being one of the first to be so early to sign.

We know they are going to milk this for as long as they can. Again, it is a great show and we are going to see things happen and hopefully dramatic changes, but this means the guy that is supposed to explode certainly isn't going to do so in the near future. The show is about Heroes saving the world or so they keep reminding us, but no one is saving the world from ending anytime soon for obvious reasons.

Ok, this is TV, broadcast tv. Sometimes I wish we would get shows that have very talented and or well known actors that star in movies or tv involved in a show that has a one or maybe two season guarantee run at most. Give us a definitive beginning and end. The main charachters can die! Take a risk and change things up a bit networks! Make it more intense. Get on and get off. Give us something powerful and shorter lived and be more creative. Don't drag it out so long that a good show becomes monotonous and boring after several years of repetitive drama.

Keep this show going, but take this opportunity to make it or another show great and don't make it as it can never end just to suck in viewers and money, because even without knowing what is going to happen next week, it becomes predictable.

That's it. That is my take. Networks have resorted to reality tv and lame after a while other shows. Why now try what I mentioned. It can't be any worse than some of the crap they have foisted on us.

While I generally agree with your sentiments, Heroes is one of those shows that could continue as long as the writers stay creative. There are unlimited crises, superheroes, villains in the Heroes universe to exploit and keep it fresh.

Yeah, let's face it, many of the comics that have inspired the show have lasted between 40 to 70 years, so I'm sure Jeph Loeb and the other writers can stretch Heroes out a few seasons. That said, I also would hate to see it continue if the quality drops.

I think that I read somewhere that the plan is to have one story by season. So this NY explosion problem is going to be "solved" by the season finale. So it will be kinda like 24, every season is a new bad guy to confront.

I would tend to agree, although I wouldn't bet against a cliffhanger to be wrapped up in the Season2 premiere.

That would be great, especially for us Lost fans that are still awaiting closure from plot points from 2 seasons ago.

You meen two weeks ago don't ya?

Nope, 2 seasons. Lost is notoriously slow about answering questions that it poses.

Lucky for us the writers of Heroes are not following the logic of the writers of lost or there would be a mass exodus of viewers by now. While both shows have the potential to have very large casts (right now lost has a very large main and supporting cast), Heroes moves along at a very good pace so nothing gets left behind and untouched...as yet. Lets hope they keep this pace up. Plus as mentioned, this can go on for a long time without getting boring if the writers stay on the ball, introducing and eliminating characters with new abilities. The possiblities are endless, especially since we don't know all the persons on 'the list'.

The creators are, luckily, constructing a season of "Heroes" as a book of graphic novel. That is, a season will have its main story lines and conclusions, just like most of the graphic novel "books". Thus, each episode becomes a "chapter". Maybe like what "24" does, they could call each season "Book 1", "Book 2", etc. ("24" calls them "Day 1", "Day 2", etc.).

So, each "book" may contain a different set of characters. I am sure they would have some recurring characters, but not all have to come back. At least for this "book", I don't remember Hiro not being shown, so he must be the key for this "book".

------

Anyway, I thought "Run!" was one of the better episodes. The writers can only carry 3 or 4 story lines per "chapter". Otherwise, it would be too superficial. I am glad that they were able to add more interesting stories to Nikki/Jessica and Matt.

The Hiro/Ando story line has been a bit subdued ever since Hiro "lost" his power. I think that "Hope" was working for Linderman (or someone from Linderman's casino) and was trying to steal something from the Nevada Gaming Commission officer (if he is indeed one). Maybe "Hope" is taking Ando to Linderman.

And my guess for who dies is Sandra. Her brain is too damaged it seems. I am beginning to think that her detached behaviors must have been from all the previous memory purging.

Hong.

Maybe "Hope" is taking Ando to Linderman.I got the impression it was a bribe from Linderman to the NGC representative. Why else would there be a bag of money(?) under the bed of a luxury suite given to a government official in Linderman's hotel? The "Hope" character found out about it through her boyfriend, and solicited the help of an easy mark to help her steal it.

Now that Hiro was "caught," he may be taken to Linderman to answer for the theft.

"Charlie" has resurfaced on Ugly Betty. Don't know actress's name but on Betty she is still Charlie. Her head seems to be intact again.

Yeah, she's Henry's girlfriend...sad that I know that, but my fiance loves that show. It's actually pretty good for a chick soap...

I got the impression it was a bribe from Linderman to the NGC representative. Why else would there be a bag of money(?) under the bed of a luxury suite given to a government official in Linderman's hotel? I agree. I might be wrong, but I'm guessing that the NGC is based out of Las Vegas even though LV isn't the capital. Can't see any legitimate reason why he'd be staying in an in-town hotel.

Why would the money be in a pink bag under the bed? If Hope gave it to the official on Linderman's behalf you'd think she'd be smarter than to try to steal it. Seems people who steal from Linderman wind up dead or owing him their souls. But I guess that isn't enough to stop people from trying.

But I guess that isn't enough to stop people from trying.I don't think she had anything to do with the transaction -- i.e. she found out about it from the same friend she was going to meet once she got out of town, as per her conversation on the phone (which Hiro overheard). She knew the danger involved so she wasn't going to do it herself, which is where Hiro and friends come in.

I thought Hiro and sidekick fell too easily into her trap. I wonder if this will actually lead to Linderman or just back to his dad.

Most of the strip nor the hotels are in the city of Las Vegas. Most have never probably never been to what is now in comparison the small, actual city of Las Vegas.

I noticed the most recent episode of Knights Of Prosperity was directed by Robert Duncan McNeill(Lt.Paris on Voyager).

I love Heroes, but I'd be willing to bet it starts dropping viewers next season regardless of how well written it is. There's a certain percentage of people watching it right now that are simply not capable remaining interested in something this serial for more than a season or two, and it's very tough to pick up new viewers to replace 'lost sheep' after the first season or so.
Best thing for the producers of the show is to aim to wrap it up in four seasons, go out on a high note.

I agree. This show might lose viewers faster than Lost in season-2. Right now, the fun in the story is to see how the disjoint band of 'Heroes' discover their powers, and the discovery of various heroes themselves. Once we see all the heroes, it will become just another superhero CSI. Heroes discovering their powers would get monotonous after a while, and certainly wouldn't be enough to maintain viewership over multiple seasons.

For me, the last few weeks have been dragging.. the only good part was "the invisible man" helping Peter to better control his powers. Last week's episode was pur filler. They introduced a new hero, just to have Sylar suck up his powers.

Get on with it !! And don't drag your feet.

I hardly ever check in on this thread, but I would agree with having a set end. I was thinking while watching this weeks episode that it would be neat if they ended the show this season. NBC would never let that happen, though. A set end was one of the things I was looking forward to with Daybreak.

Wow....Peter's turning out to be one bad mofo. Too bad he doesn't have the ability to heal others. WiFi-girl is kinda neat, also.

Pretty good episode tonight. I never thought Simone would be the one to die. Talk about "Unexpected" This show just keeps getting better and better.

Wow....Peter's turning out to be one bad mofo. Too bad he doesn't have the ability to heal others. WiFi-girl is kinda neat, also.

I wonder if taking on some of Sylar's powers also caused him to take on some of his personality traits...now that would be a cool twist.

--SNIP-- They introduced a new hero, just to have Sylar suck up his powers.

Get on with it !! And don't drag your feet.


They did it again tonight. I wonder if Sylar has some kind of limit. What if he "overfills" with powers. Would he become unstable too?


Also, Stan Lee was a nice touch.

Great episode tonight. It was cool to see Stan Lee tonight.

Next week's episode should answer a lot of questions about HRG.

Stan Lee was a very nice touch.

I think this could be good for multiple seasons. Think X-Men movies....lots of ways they could take this.

Anyway, I like the future showdown of Peter and Sylar......Should be interesting. Any powers that Sylar has at the time, Peter will pick up.

Anyone have problems with the NBC HD during the last few minutes of Heroes, during the battle between Peter, and the guy who paints the future?


Started having strange interference, and it looked the picture temporarily went into SD. Don't know if it was a local, WNBC Time Warner thing, or if it was a national thing.

No HD problems here in Little Rock, must be a local thing.

No problem with the HD feed in Chicago.

Anyway, my three favorite shows right now are BSG, Lost and Heroes. BSG and Lost have the benefit of not only being excellently written (for the most part), they are also excellently acted. Heroes is a very well-written and compelling show, but geez, they got some pretty bad actors for it. They guy who plays Mohindar makes me want to shove a hot poker in my eye.

Great episode. May watch it again later in the week.

Great episode. I have to hand it the writers of Heroes, it's rare (maybe one out of eight episodes) where I feel like not enough happened in the episode. They really manage to pack a lot into each show, the pacing is just terrific.

This is my first visit to this thread. Good episode tonight and next weeks looks killer. Peter really became the man tonight.

I think i see the season finale...Sylar goes head to head with all of his acquired skills against Peter and his friends. Good versus Evil.

I love this show

Didn't see that coming!

Amazing episode tonight....Stan Lee cameo = greatness

Peter is really starting to control his powers....

Foreshadowing: PETER VS. SYLAR SHOWDOWN

If Peter can do everything Sylar can do, what will happen? oh jez, this show is amazing

If Peter can do everything Sylar can do, what will happen?He can rip the top of Issac's head off.

A showdown may be too obvious. It would be nice, to have the hero and anti-hero do battle, but Sylar doesn't have Claire's power of healing (and let's hope he doesn't get it, for more than one reason). He may not be able to adapt as Peter has.
