:D

Spoilers don't bother me. Due to a long series of questionable lifestyle choices, I can read a spoiler today and still be plenty surprised tomorrow.

So I guess reruns don't bother you either? :eek:

So is this a spoiler or what? NOT what I would have expected from the ending of last night's episode. I doubt they would make the comic and the show take different paths.
the comic book can give current continuous information or back story info into each edition and character that it is about. So take it for what it is worth extra info into the show, It has been discussed here numerous times. If it is not part of the broadcast show, any information contained in them or any other web site would be and are considered a spoiler. The moderator of this site will probably say this soon after me so I thought I will let you guys know now so he can take a break.

"Anything not presented within the show or the previews immediately following the show are considered spoilers. Please use spoiler tags."

I'm so confused. The comics are on the NBC site. How can someone NOT read them and hope to understand the show? For example, there has already been a pointless discussion over whether Eden killed herself or not. Also, don't people want to know about Isaac's first painting or what happened after Claire's crash or how Mohinder got his father's cab? These things is are all cleared up in the 7-"page" comics!
the comics are suggested readdings, We all don't go to abc's LOST sites to get the extra info they have on that show.(abc has at least 5 sites connected to the series) This is just part of an ultimate experience within a show that is OPTIONAL, not a necessity. You can watch the show and not be lost. The comics are truly not for everyone and to post something there would just be wrong and rude to the people that wait week to week to enjoy each coming episode.

So I guess reruns don't bother you either? :eek:
Nope. And Daybreak isn't confusing at all.

Will Hero's be shown again (the episodes already aired) before the new ones start back up? If so... when and where and will they be shown in order?

Just wondering

Thanks

I think she hates DL with such a passion that she went for the body shot, to keep him down, went for the head but he moved then got him in the head the second time but that is when he activated his power and crawled away which is way she headed down to try to finish him off.

It seemed pretty clear that PixieChick killed herself by destroying her brain, so that Sylar couldn't use it. Why would Sylar destroy what he needs to gain the power?Why the heck didn't Voodoo-Man wipe Sylar's memory? That would have saved HRG a lot of grief; he's still coming after Claire.

I read somewhere that there is suppose to be a two day marathon 5 hrs each but I will have to look for that.

Why the heck didn't Voodoo-Man wipe Sylar's memory? That would have saved HRG a lot of grief; he's still coming after Claire.

because they have their orders from someone higher than HRG Or it would have been done already. Remember this guy threatened his daugther, he wants him, dead dead dead!!! You know our government(which I think is what they work with) They have to do test of people with abilities or aliens. They want to see if they can control him and use him as a weapon.

True. But neuralizing him shouldn't deplete his abilities, should it? Just one's memory (of an event, or perhaps a whole day).

True. But neuralizing him shouldn't deplete his abilities, should it? Just one's memory (of an event, or perhaps a whole day).
we don't know yet because we don't know what he did to absorb the powers in the first place. His power will be the way he absorbs the power but they never have shown us how he does it yet. If you take away the days would he remember how or if he had powers? Porbably not! If he can't use them How could they use them? He didn't know he had any powers until he killed his first victim. Take away his memory from the past six months and he would just be a loser clocktician(new word in the Chris dictionary)thinking he as something special to look forward to. You would have to go that far because the doctor knew about claire 6 months ago also.

Spoilers don't bother me. Due to a long series of questionable lifestyle choices, I can read a spoiler today and still be plenty surprised tomorrow.


I hear that!

So is that what the kids are calling it these days "questionable lifestyle choices"? It always changes.

If you take away the days would he remember how or if he had powers? Porbably not! If he can't use them How could they use them?Taking away his memory would be an excellent way to control him. Make him a case-study of individuals-with-extraordinary-abilities. Though, he could possibly return to his killing ways later. Claire's memory needs to stay intact, so she'll know to steer clear of strangers and dark places.

Sylar did survive a pretty steep fall (or did he land on Peter?), so I'm not sure if he really needs her power.

I checked this out in slo-mo. It was her head that hit the glass. He just smashed her into it. I'm not sure why everyone wants to make him into Magneto. (who btw can control any metal, not just magnetic) In Sylar's cell there appear to be lights with metal parts, concrete walls that likely have metal inside, air ducts, hinges or the entire doors, the faucet on the sink. All sorts of stuff made of metal. I think the material has nothing to do with his telekinesis.Take yourself back to the first scene of Sylar in his cell.

There is a brief discussion where Sylar says he sees how "things work" or "what makes things tick." Shortly after Sylar is told that his "powers won't work here," he puts his hands on the glass. When he does this, you hear the clanking of clock gears all around you (very prominent in a Prologic IIx system), which is the same sound used in earlier scenes to illustrate that Sylar has or is figuring something out. It also gave me the distinct impression that the room itself was a device of some sort -- one that interfered in some way with brain function -- that would prevent the use of 'hero' powers.

My impression of that scene was that Sylar couldn't use his powers then, but would soon figure out how the room worked, disable it, and have full use of his abilities. In fact, during the second meeting, I thought Sylar had already figured it out, and was just waiting for the right moment to strike. He certainly sounded confident when he told HRG that he would kill his daughter.

Peter definately broke Sylars fall, but Sylar did lose a lot of blood. But we still don't know the extent of Sylars true powers. he can be able to make himself into some kind of rubber material for all we know I don't like that at all,
my theroy: since they were both out cold for a min or two. The same way he got into Eden's head when she came to kill him She used her power to get hi to kill himself but right there the connection was made that made his powers work and next min EDEN is dead hero #2. Sylar did it with peter. Claire's powers were transferred from her to peter to sylar. This is why Peter never completely heeled and sylar was able to walk away. Even though not completely heeled. That is why he was so easy to take down.
I really think Sylar can take the porwer before taking the brain, he takes the brain so no one can use those powers but him. He knows there will be other people looking for suresh's gen map of people, and try to use those powers from the brains against him. He is just an every day original pyscho with super powers!

This is new ground. It used to be just previews that some people wanted to avoid to increase the "surprise" effect when an episode aired.

Now there is this online enhancement that Lost started and others are copying. That makes things more complicated for those who prefer to just watch the show and nothing else. The best compromise are the spoiler tags. Those who want to be surprised know to avoid them, those who don't....appreciate them.

If this is true, AWESOME catch and explains a lot. THANKS!!!!

I apologize if this has been stated before. I'm trying to get my wife into this show and we recorded the episodes on SciFi for her to watch.

Watching it again, I noticed on Episode 2 or 3, when Eden found the portable Hard drive in the lizard tank, and Mohinder plugged it into the laptop that produced some running code, that crazy symbol we see everywhere was formed in the blank portions of the data on the Laptop screen. All the other times, they zoom in on that symbol so you see it easily, but for some reason, I missed it on the data streem the first time I watched it.

Also, whatever happened to the Exterminator that tried to bug Mohinder's apartment? Did he work for HRG? Did Eden clear out Sylar's apartment before Mohinder brought the cops to show him what he found because she was trying to protect him from Sylar?

basically follow the rule I go by, if you have any doubt in your mind. Then it probably is a spoiler. It is better to put a small little tag then say something that can get a bunch of people upset. We are only here to discuss and have fun. Not upset each other.

I think everyone is overlooking something major (and I dunno, maybe someone mentioned it but I haven't read the past few pages) but Claire's dad is not at the top of the ladder of this....he's got a boss which is apparent by him not being able to kill Sylar...he was talking to someone on the phone who was telling him about "Options"...this is BIG...that means a lot more people know about these people than we are lead to believe...possibly government?

Just a thought about the missed shot on DL. Would you think maybe Nikki kind of influenced the shot taken by Jessica? I mean, they are in the same body. I understand who is stronger, but I believe a slight nudge by her is possible from the inside. Thoughts...

Or a mobster such as, Oh, I dunno... taking a wild guess here, Lindermann?

And I had also thought that maybe Niki nudged Jessica as well internally.

Yes he did work for HGR. The whole thing was just a setup to gain Mohinder's confidence with Eden. I saw that right off the bat. It was too convenient that she was right there.

I'm sure she tipped someone off that works for HGR about it & they cleaned it out. I dought "she" did it.

Not to protect him. Remember they were trying to find Sylar. All that info would help them a great deal in doing so.

"basically follow the rule I go by, if you have any doubt in your mind. Then it probably is a spoiler. It is better to put a small little tag then say something that can get a bunch of people upset. We are only here to discuss and have fun. Not upset each other."

According to someone at the HTF, NBC is releasing more online comics during the hiatus. I hope people check them out if it's true.

Looks like his answer was to use a body as a weapon, something he probably had never done before. I'm guessing the bolted down sink and commode were too heavy for him to telekinetically throw, so he used Eden from the outside, instead.

Or a mobster such as, Oh, I dunno... taking a wild guess here, Lindermann?

And I had also thought that maybe Niki nudged Jessica as well internally.

possibly...

I checked this out in slo-mo. It was her head that hit the glass. He just smashed her into it.Just rewatched the replay on SciFi. It's not obvious, but she goes through the glass gun-first. She definitely showed her hand before making her suggestion, and he was likely keyed in on the firearm. She also didn't begin her suggestion with the phrase "I suggest..."(like she did when she put him to sleep). Not sure if that made a difference or not.....the window may have possibly interferred with her voice.

I don't know if it was ever resolved or not, but Sylar did kill Charlie( I assume it was Sylar). When Mohinder was on the phone ranting at whoever it was he was talking to about tracking down these people, he said she was murdered, Charlene Andrews 2 days ago, Midland Texas.

You are claiming that SciFi is the best way to see fine detail? I was foolishly using the HD version on my 90". :rolleyes: Her arms are at her side when she hits the glass, then they (or maybe just one) flop in front of her. (if it's even her, it could be CGI) Then the scene changes to only Sylar for a few frames.

Here's an interesting little thing I noticed. The blood after she shoots herself is dripping from the far side of the glass. Soaked through? I think we're looking too close at the effects. Nothing is perfect.

You are right about that. I think the whole point was just that Eden realized she had to take desperate measures to make sure Sylar didn't get her power.

She did, but the OP's point was that she should have taken the headshot first.
He was moving. Paper targets don't move.

And yes the bullet clearly went through his head. He was hit by the first bullet because he wasn't ready for it.

Watched the reruns last night on NBC. Heard that clanking noise when Hiro and Aldo were sitting in the diner with the artist so maybe it was just soundtrack effects.

so has Sylar figured out the Haitian as well? maybe the Haitian won't be able to neutralize him anymore...

Which episode was that in?
I erased it already, but...

episode 6, 10/30/06 teaser portion. (before the opening splash.) Big but defocused. on table. flying text overlay it a bit. Micah and Niki scene.

Just started to catch up to the DVR, one thing I notice... bastard Bryan Fuller plugged his old cancelled show on Fox.. Wonderfalls by having the wax lion muse on the Sanders nightstand!:D

I loved that show (Wonderfalls)! In fact, when I got married, my wife and I took that set on our honeymoon and watched it during, uh, breaks and such. A little laughter is always a helpful thing, releasing those happy-endorphins and all, and we figured that set would be just the right "side dish". It was. :D

That was one of those shows, along with 'Firefly', 'EZ Streets', 'The Tick', ;Karen Sisco' and a few others, that I felt could have been standout hits if they'd been given more of a shot to find an audience. Quality eventually rises to the top, but sometimes it takes an act of faith. Fuller's a talented guy. When he left 'Dead Like Me' at Showtime to do 'Wonderfalls', the quality of DLM plummeted through the floor, IMO. Showtime yanked it quickly after a disappointing sophomore season; not unjustifiably, I felt.

Anybody that needs to see the episodes again to clarify, to disagree or just for the people that signed up late in the season can watch the first half of the season on NBC.com but remember they will only be on for a limited time. A high speed connection is necssary. Saturday they showed the last 2 episodes in HD on NBC which was cool to see.

He was moving. Paper targets don't move.

And yes the bullet clearly went through his head. He was hit by the first bullet because he wasn't ready for it.

He was barely moving, he was getting read to get into the vehicle, stand beside it, he wasn't even walking.

Also, when he was down, the second shot missed and hit the vehicle. THEN the third shot hits him in the head and it phases through. Three shots, first two don't kill then the third attempts the kill.

Nikki must of influenced Jessica or something as this doesn't seem likely with how they were showing Jessica able to center mass a target from so far away. She wouldn't of completely missed her second shot like that unless something was going on.

I don't know if it was ever resolved or not, but Sylar did kill Charlie( I assume it was Sylar). When Mohinder was on the phone ranting at whoever it was he was talking to about tracking down these people, he said she was murdered, Charlene Andrews 2 days ago, Midland Texas.

Ando also mentions it (watched the rerun on Saturday, and paid attention).

Speaking of reruns ...

I've recorded the last six episodes in HD OTA on my Media Center PC.

I've read that there's going to be a Heroes "marathon" on Jan. 1. Does anyone know which episodes will be broadcast then?

I'd really love to complete my set. Thanks.

That was one of those shows, along with 'Firefly', 'EZ Streets', 'The Tick', ;Karen Sisco' and a few others, that I felt could have been standout hits if they'd been given more of a shot to find an audience.Man, I loved the live-action Tick. FOX really knows how to screw up the good shows. Ironically, their worst show ever (A. I.), dominates TV.

but the Tick was given a chance to find an audiance it was just on thursdays when NBC still ruled that night. It lasted 2 seasons.(technically) If I remember correctly it was a mid-season replacement and got a nod to start the next year, but was crushed by NBC. ABC was so far behind in third place back then so you can only imagine how bad the ratings were for the Tick in 4th.

Why is everyone so reluctant to consider the possibility that her first shot simply... missed and merely wounded him?

Why is everyone so reluctant to consider the possibility that her first shot simply... missed and merely wounded him?HERESY!!!! Every meaningless detail MUST be debated ad nauseam, ad infinitum until someone gives up or brings up a new meaningless item. :D

Why is everyone so reluctant to consider the possibility that her first shot simply... missed and merely wounded him?
Because she was perfect when she bought the gun. He wasn't moving that much that should would miss a kill shot twice.

I am on the side of somewhere here(I don't remember who said it) The first shot was to wound him. To get him down enough then she could plant a stedy second shot, but the kill shot missed he moved to much after the first hit.(he did go in front of the truck first) she didn't want to take the chance of hitting Micah. But once he came out from hidding she hit that kill shot right on. But as we all know, he said "Invisibilty ON" and it went right through his head.

But I am unsure that she did miss. I have only seen it once. Has anyone really look, did the shot bounce up aand hit the car? Maybe both shots went through him? I am just asking about this. It did happen fast so I didn't notice. The second shot was obvious because they played that in slow mo.

There is nothing else to discuss right now, wait until a new show airs, we'll be on to something else. :D

We are reluctant because they set it up like she was this incredible marksman when she was practcing, then when it came to be, she missed twice before going for the head shot, and then finally it phased through. Three shots to get a head shot? Just didn't seem plausible with how they built it up.

She wouldn't want to down him first. She knows his power, she saw and felt it first hand, she had to know the bullet would pass through, she had one chance.

Maybe OT here, but I don't know where else to ask.

I'm looking for the first five episodes in HD, either .mpg, .dvr-ms, .ts, .tp or .m2t. I have recorded episodes 6-11 myself OTA on a Media Center PC and am looking to complete my collection.

NBC offers SD on its Web site and I've found some seriously overcompressed HD at p2p sites, but I'm trying to find the raw uncompressed files for archiving. They're about 5 gb each, but I'd be willing to send dual-layer discs to anyone who could burn them for me.

In return, I could author DVD or HD DVD copies. I'm not a pirate, just a fan. Please PM if you can help.

He should of zig'd when he zag'd. :D

Well the other reason is that if Jessica didn't miss he'd be dead now, and apparently the writers didn't want that to happen. :D

Yes, deprived addicts are not a pretty site.

They keep adding people to the show, and the map is full of possible Gen freaks. Killing off another character isn't really a problem. We have another EKo(LOST ref)here. His story is wrapped now that he knows who set him up and he has his money. What else could they do other then make him a helper of the less fortunate? The cops are looking for him so he really can't stay out in the open.

Well I guess it really depends on exactly what the wife confesses to. If she confesses to everything I guess he could theoretically become a free man right?

Welcome to the "club". I haven't been this impressed with a new show in a long time. The last one was BSG.

i just have to say though...... after this season, where can they go from here.... i mean do they become a justice league or what.... i just dont want them to cheese this show .... its going great where they are now

I agree, yet it does seem to be pointing in the direction of them needed to work together. Peter especially needs to be around someone "super" (well, except for his prophetic dreams).

I, for one, can't wait to see what their superhero costumes are going to end up looking like!

What about Syler's superVILLAIN costume!

Based on what Future Hiro was wearing, I don't think their outfits will be too outlandish, if they even have special costumes.

As long as Claire is wearing her cheerleader uniform.

i hope nikki goes back to her Las Vegas outfit...(drooling)

Personally, if she's going to wear a cheerleader outfit, I'd rather see her dressed more like professional football cheerleaders, say Tampa Bay or Dallas. (Aw, c'mon; she won't be 17 forever. ;))

Yep, lots of room for character development over time there. I'm looking forward to her inevitable "wild" phase. :cool:

Careful, guys; Hayden Panettiere's only 17. :D


That's what we call the Age of Consent in my state :p

she is in the wild phase already, she jumps off buildings, runs through fire, plays bumper cars, Goes through wood chippers. Each person has a defferent version of their wild years.

That's what we call the Age of Consent in my state :p

You realize that even in Louisiana that means she has to consent, not just you. :D

She's gonna be 18 in just 8 months... :)

That's true.

Actually, I'm playing along with the posts and all, but I really like Claire and I think she's extremely cute, but not in that way. More in a daughter/niece sort of way. I guess the show is effective in that it's getting me to see her from HRG's POV. ;)

By the way, to all that it matters to. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!! I hope you all got what you wanted. Remember it is better to give but it sure is fun opening your own presents. Enjoy the day and watch the Yule log on InHD. The fire crackling is amazing on my 2.1 so I could only imagine what it sounds like on a 5.1 set.

I, for one, can't wait to see what their superhero costumes are going to end up looking like!

Maybe we'll even see Stan Lee talking to them from a billboard. Excelsior!!!!

Hmmm, I'm surprised they're not running 'Heroes' starting with episode 1 tonite. It seems like it would make sense to play catch up starting from the beginning, maybe catch some new viewers from word of mouth. Oh well, I suppose they have their reasons.

If anyone is curious, a new Heroes fansite launched today...

http://www.herosite.net/

my experiences with a few of its related sites (kryptonsite.com for example) have been good so this might be worth checking out...

just an fyi...

Some new news released:

Claire's real mother will have a recurring role in the show. The actress cast to play the part held an interview. They asked if her character has a power and she said yes, she wouldn't say exactly what it was but when asked she said think pre-coming out Drew Barrymore.

The only thing I can think of is firestarter, so maybe her mother has that ability, or something similiar.

All of the characters with powers on the show came from parents with some type of genetic change or marker (that is how Chandra was able to trace them). However, the show has revealed some second generation Heroes; children of a parent or parents with special abilities. I am wondering whether they will be the most powerful of the Heroes eventually. They include:

Micah: Both of his parents have powers. Dad can pass through solid objects. Nikki's alter ego Jessica has shown signs of super strength. She has thrown at least two men through the air, across a room with one hand and we were told that one of her victims was torn in half. [as an aside: I wonder id Nikki's power is to absorb the personality of someone who dies in her presence and her sister Jessica's power was strength. It is likely that each of a pair of siblings would have power, such as Nathan and Peter. Jessica was killed by their father, who may have had some power of his own. All of the victims of Nikki/Jessica died when Jessica was in control, so possibly only Jessica died in front of Nikki]

Micah may have much more power than we have seen. We know he is super smart and can fix a broken pay phone by waiving his hand across it.

Claire: We know her biological mother had some type of power because she was killed in an incident involving HRG 14 years earlier. Her biological father has not been mentioned (to my memory). Besides spontaneous regeneration, we know that her existence is crucial to "save the world."

The little girl that Matt finds in the house: Both of her parents were killed by Syler. Does anyone remember whether their brains were taken? She definitely has some power which we don't know about yet because Syler goes after her while she is in protective custody. Is she going to play a major role later?

Nathan and Peter?: Brothers with powers hints that they could be second generation. Mom does not appear to have power but we don't really know about the deceased dad. We do know that dad worked for Linderman. Linderman is almost certainly hooked into more than the mob. His interest in dad Patrelli may have been because of some power, just as his interest in Nathan may be connected to his power. I actually think Linderman may be the financier of HRG's operation.

Following Chandra's theory of evolution, it would seem that each generation of Heroes would be more powerful than the first. Just some idle thoughts before the season premier.

A picture regarding Hiro and his sword, don't click on it if you don't want to see.

I apologize if this has been stated before. I'm trying to get my wife into this show and we recorded the episodes on SciFi for her to watch.

Watching it again, I noticed on Episode 2 or 3, when Eden found the portable Hard drive in the lizard tank, and Mohinder plugged it into the laptop that produced some running code, that crazy symbol we see everywhere was formed in the blank portions of the data on the Laptop screen. All the other times, they zoom in on that symbol so you see it easily, but for some reason, I missed it on the data streem the first time I watched it.



There have been pictures of it in this forum already. I didn't notice it watching the show. That's why these forums are fun. My turn to apologize if it has been said, but the "symbol" is one half of the double helix of a DNA molecule. The letters of the computer run, A,T.C,G are the components of DNA (Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine)

Are You on The List?

Are You on The List?

Only if picking the wrong people to date can be considered a super power.

Man, gotta get you some kryptonite....

Are You on The List?Given we've seen clearly visible names and cities of residence several times already, I wonder if there are any poor souls actually living in those cities with those names whose phones will start ringing off the hook…

Only if picking the wrong people to date can be considered a super power.

I am convinced everyone has a superpower, even if they don't know it, or if it is helpful to them or society in any way. Mine is, and I kid you not, I am able to find four leaf clovers. Give me a field covered with 3-leaf clovers, and I can spot the 4-leaf ones a mile away. When I have played sports, I have, on many occasions, been running down a field, glanced down and seen one. It's weird. Alas, my superpower has no true effect on me or on society in general, unless I am also getting the luck inherent in finding a four leaf clover. But it doesn't appear I am any luckier than anyone else on this planet.

My middle child will never get a cold, because his superpower is sneezing every bit of matter out of his sinuses. It's quite gross, actually, but effective for him. At least his is practical.

Steve:
OT, but, have you posted that thing about the 4 leaf clovers on this board or some other board in the not too distant past? I know I read someone saying something exactly like this somewhere else. If you haven't I need to find the other guy who posted this. If we get the two of you together, maybe you can combine your powers to have some effect on the world.

Now that I think about it, I may have posted something similar--maybe even in this thread, a while ago. It'd be cool to meet someone with similar powers as me, but alas, I think I'm alone in the world...

You're not alone, fear not. My sister Polly has the same strange ability. My other sister and I could search for hours and never find one, but Polly can just look down and pick one out, anywhere, anytime. It's an odd superpower to have for sure, but one day you and my sis just might save the world! (She was even a cheerleader once!) :D

Yeah, I thought I was having deja vu when I was reading his post too. It's almost word-for-word the same if I'm remembering correctly. Would be fun to find that post and compare.

I remember writing that other one, but I thought I wrote in on a different message board. I'll try to find it--it would be funny to see how they compare.

Found it. Here is the original, posted in October on this thread:
Love it... We have a joke in my family about our respective "super powers". My wife's is her organizational ability--she is known by friends and family as the "Organization Queen". I have a weird, uncanny knack for finding four leaf clovers. Put me in a field, and I can just look down and see them--they kind of jump out at me. (Maybe it's a symmetry thing... Maybe I'm like Rain Man...) I have literally found hundreds of four leaf clovers in my life--most of the time, without even looking for them. (They're much easier to find if you don't look for them...)

My son has the best superpower of all. When he sneezes, he literally blows every glob of mucous out of his head. Most of the time, he will sneeze, and mucous will be hanging from his face to the floor until someone rushes over to wipe it off. But he will never get a sinus infection. In the winter months, when colds are going around, within the first hour of waking up, he will have his cleansing sneeze. But we have to be prepared for it. It is, after all, quite disgusting, but pretty useful for a 2 year old.

My friend's mom has the finding four leaf clover super power also, so you are not alone.

Sylar (the Lucky Charms elf) is gonna' round up all those people and......:eek:

I guess they can always re-name the episode, or have a new title for a new episode...

Full-Season Pickups Slated for NBC

Sweet! Heroes and My Name is Earl are two of my four can't miss shows (along with Lost and BSG).

~Dan

Excellent!

Steve,

I think I found someone like me. It' not 4-leaf clovers, and its not exactly good. But, I stopped buy screws from bulk bins. Over the course of my life I have purchased screws from the bulk bins like a dozen times. Either for making a fort, tree house, putting up drywall, etc. The thing that is weird is that a least 1 in 10 has a major defect, like no threads, no heads, no point to start the screw.

I started not to make sense to save money by buying in bulk when I buy 10 lbs. of screws and 1 lb has defects.

My last home project, I paid a little more to buy pre-packaged drywall screws and none were defective.

Weird huh.

That is an early pick up. That is good NEWS for those shows. That means 22 at a minimum episodes already agreed to air of each show next year. Life is good. All four of those shows are great. Earl & Office is a good move by NBC. They aren't blowing people away but they are steady in the ratings.

Can't wait for tonight!!!!

The guy that plays Syler was on a radio interview in my area and he spilled a couple soilers.

He said that Eden definitely killed herself. He did not do it. She did it so he could not figure out how her power worked. He also said tonight you will see that he was captured again before he could escape and HRG has him imprisoned again.

Wow! Sylar is still captive...

Well, I was gonna put that in a spoiler.....so how is he still captive anyway? I thought that was his break to get out and kill Isaac

Gee, and Dr. Who shows up and he is invisible!

In the middle of Deal or No Deal they had a Heroes clip of Mr. Thermonuclear in his Nevada shack talking to some chick that can integrate her thoughts with the Internet and telling him that she can hunt down HRG with that gift and kill them all. What was that all about??? Was that bonus footage or something??? I didn't see it in the actual episode.

I don't know if it was created by NBC, but I notice there is a Primatech Paper site (www.primatechpaper.com). If you click on the Jobs page you get prompted for a code. No idea what it is, I looked at the source and it's MD5 encrypted.

she's Hana Gitelman,an Israeli Hero played by 24's Stana Katic.Also Boston Public's Jessalyn Gilsig is joining the cast,there's speculation she'll be playing Claire's mother.

Damn! I deleted the ep already. I think the code was on the business card he gave Suresh.

we knew that from the comic book...

Great episode tonight...really setting up the rest of the season...I love the originality and freshness of this show (as opposed to Prison Break and 24)...

Also, Hiro is going to be on Studio 60 next week! AMAZING!

Her beginning is detailed in the graphic novels from the Heroes website. 4-part story titled "wireless".

Interesting

Go read the online comics on nbc.com's heroes site. There is one dealing with the aftermath of Sylar's attempted escape. Beware, the comics are obviously spoilerific.

All we need now is an water-breathing hero to make the superfriends complete...

:D :D

Wow! Sylar is still captive...

I take it you dont read the online comics? They cover the time inbetween shows.

It's covered Eve's death, Sylar recapture, etc.

awesome episode last night..... it was great to see nathan and hiro .... funny stuff

deja vu all over again
looked like a repeat of last season!

My DVR was scheduled to record both HEROES on HD and another show on SD at 9pm last night (EST). Well guess what, it recorded the SD thing but completely skipped Heroes!!!!!!!

So now I have some stupid (never thought that was stupid before) thing from the History Channel on Atlantis but not my supplement of Heroes. Very disappointed. IT's a dual tuner and is supposed to do simulaneous recordings!!

Now I'll have to resort to watching a repeat of last nights episode on SCIFI in SD in a few days.

This is particularly bad since this is my first HDTV and just got it last Friday and was really looking forward to Heroes on HD!!!

Man I'm upset.

I've toyed with the idea of using Windows MCE 2005 and getting rid of my Motorola set-top box, but don't know if that's a good idea or bad.

were you recording something at 10 also? Heroes runs to 10:01 (STUPID STUPID STUPID NBC) and causes conflicts WITH EVERYTHING

so what happened at 8:30??? what was the special sneak peak?

Who was HRG referring to when he was talking to Suresh and said "they" (will be looking for Suresh or want his list or something...) ??

This is on NBC.com...I just watched it...AWESOME

I love Heroes

I laughed really loud with Hiro last night. He's the best part of the show.

You can get the code by calling. The code is "MT36" in case anyone's interested. All it does is display an online job application though.... Not sure what happens if you actually fill it out and submit it.

Fast National Ratings For Monday January 22nd

"….Since we are all wondering how the battle of NBC’s Heroes vs. Fox’s 24 played out, let’s begin with the 9 p.m. hour. The first original episode of NBC’s Heroes in six weeks took the 9 p.m. hour, with 14.84 million viewers and a 6.5 rating/15 share among adults 18-49. Fox’s 24 was competitive with 14.44 million viewers (#3) and a second-place 5.4/12 among adults 18-49. Comparatively, the year-ago telecast of 24 (on Monday, Jan. 23, 2006, and without Heroes in the mix) scored an almost identical 14.22 million viewers with a 5.8/13 in the demo, based on the final nationals.

Monday 9-10 p.m.
Heroes (NBC)
Viewers: 14.84 million (#1)
A18-49: 6.5/15 (#1)

Two and a Half Men and Old Christine (CBS)
Viewers: 14.54 million (#2)
A18-49: 4.5/10 (#3)

24 (Fox)
Viewers: 14.44 million (#3)
A18-49: 5.4/12 (#2)…"

Good to see those numbers for Heroes. NBC finally has a hit!

That is a pretty amazing split, nearly equal for all three. Now if only ABC could come up with a really good show they could move it to Monday night at this time slot too. No point in spreading the few good shows on TV around during the week so people can actually watch them. Maybe what is needed is a DVR which can record three or four programs at the same time.
Personally I will watch Heroes. IMO it is definitely the best of the three.

The code is "MT36" in case anyone's interested. All it does is display an online job application though.... Not sure what happens if you actually fill it out and submit it.

You get put on a list of people with extraordinary ability and when Sylar eventually escapes, he will track you down and steal your brain. :eek:

What does HRG stand for?

Horn-Rimed Glasses...aka Claire's Dad aka the guy holding Sylar aka the main good/bad-guy :)

Yep, goes back to before we knew his name...HRG makes for easier typing. Heck, even now that we know his name I can't remember it, I just call him HRG or Claire's dad. :-)

Good ep overall, although a bit 'slow' by their standards. Even so, I still found myself not believing an hour had passed and being pissed that I had to wait another week. Same for 24

Actually, HRG's first name has still not been revealed, but obviously his last name is Bennet.

I take it you dont read the online comics? They cover the time inbetween shows.

It's covered Eve's death, Sylar recapture, etc.

http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/

I feel like I'm missing something. I just read all 17 novels and didn't find anything that talked about Eve's death and Sylar recapture.

EDIT: Nevermind I found it. It was number 11.

you mean Eden? ;)

Yeah sorry about that. I had the where mixed with the who. :)

Agreed...a pdf file would have been more effective.

Who was HRG referring to when he was talking to Suresh and said "they" (will be looking for Suresh or want his list or something...) ??

He might be referring to the group he works for and his boss (referring to the call he had regarding Sylar and they wouldn't let him do what they want).

Good episode. Man, the scenes with Hiro and Nathan had me cracking up, Hiro is such a great character.

Anyone catch the spelling of that figure from his past where he told the story about that guy found the sword, etc.?

You all remember we talked about Linderman being behind the HRG organization. When the girl with the eyes (or was it Nathan) mentioned Linderman she said "he likes to collect things".

Agreed...a pdf file would have been more effective.

The pdf files are there to download. IMO they are much easier to read.

'I'd rather not read that on-line stuff. Reminds me of having to read comic books to find out what happened in parts of the plot The Matrix left out cinematically :mad:. BTW, Hiro doesn't have to worry about stepping on a bug anymore :).

Here's the deal with the Primatech website:

"On January 19, 2007, NBC announced the Heroes 360 Experience, an alternate reality game which explores the Heroes universe. The Heroes 360 Experience began on January 22.[16] Viewers can investigate clues from the show on the official website. The Heroes 360 Experience uses several aspects of the alternate reality game:

Participants may call the phone system (1-800-PRIMA-16) for the fictional company Primatech Paper, the company where Mr. Bennett works in the show.
The phone number was revealed in episode 12, "Godsend" when HRG gives his business card to Mohinder Suresh, though Mr. Bennet's "access code" (written on the back of the card) was not.

Additional information about the characters and storylines will be hidden on the website.

Commentary from the cast will be added to the webisodes.

Participants can test message the word "APPLY" to cell number 46622 to receive text messages from Primatech and, assumedly, Mr. Bennet/HRG.

This code was also revealed in episode 12, "Godsend", as a chyron on-screen.
Directions are given via text message to log onto the Primatech website and use the code "MT36" on the site (on the "Jobs" link). This leads the user to an application for employment at Primatech. At the bottom of the application are a series of questions that matched the questions asked for the original "Are you on the list?" test on the Heroes website.

A wireless application protocol (WAP) website will also be launched to access special Heroes-related content by mobile phone. In addition, a special "two screen" application will be provided to simulate a real-time event. [16] The Heroes 360 Experience is sponsored by Nissan, who previously sponsored NBC's online-only reality talent competition Star Tomorrow and a free iTunes download of the pilot episode of Heroes."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroes_%28NBC%29#Characters


I think I'll just stick to watching the show.

Actually, HRG's first name has still not been revealed, but obviously his last name is Bennet. Even the Heroes entry at IMDB refers to him as "Mr Bennet".

He might be referring to the group he works for and his boss Yes, I know... It's the first time he's referred to another "party" that's involved though.

The interactive comics are fine for me. Just wait for the full pages to load and move down to the bottom to scroll and click on the arrow to turn the page.

cool I thought we might have a Heroes ARG...the Lost ARG was awesome this summer

so what happened at 8:30??? what was the special sneak peak?

nope there's a sneak peak of what happens prior to the episode of Heroes...its in the comic actually...Wireless and Nuclear man are in his cabin in Nevada...it shows her for the first time...its on NBC.com website

though 300 does look pretty freaking sweet...the HD trailer is badasss

I think I'll just stick to watching the show.I just hope the producers make sure to use the web site only for additional material; if you have to go to the website and get the text messages to understand future episodes, a lot of people will get upset rather quickly.

It is already happening.

You'll notice from previous posts comments from people who read the online comments getting "annoyed" at those who haven't, because backgound or "spoiler" information has been revealed in them.

Those who haven't read the comics are left to speculate on things just from what was revealed on the actual telecast (imagine that).

NBC gives "Heroes" 360 interactivity Sponsored by Nissan
NBC unveiled its extensive "TV 360" interactive extension for "Heroes." The digital extensions, which launched with the return of original episodes of the show on Monday, include exclusive and original content made available on several alternative platforms, sponsored in part by Nissan. Beginning on 1/22, viewers were invited to experience "Heroes" in a whole new way. As they investigate on-air clues and learn new truths about the characters, their involvement will lead them to new platforms, including interaction with unique mobile content; a WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) site that one of the characters gives them access to; a special "two screen" application which provides a real-time experience; access to the fictional Primatech Paper company's phone system; and significantly increased original content on NBC.com including secret files, hidden sites and original commentary from cast members added to each streaming episode. "This opportunity is the next step in continuing Nissan's successful partnership with Heroes," said Melissa Adams, Senior Manager of Media, Nissan NA. "'Heroes has been key to helping Nissan establish its new entry compact car, Versa. Heroes 360 will only further enhance the awareness of Nissan's innovative products." As the season of "Heroes" continues, the "Heroes 360" extensions will evolve with new areas of exploration each week. OMD is handling buying and implementation for Nissan.

It is already happening.

You'll notice from previous posts comments from people who read the online comments getting "annoyed" at those who haven't, because backgound or "spoiler" information has been revealed in them.

Those who haven't read the comics are left to speculate on things just from what was revealed on the actual telecast (imagine that).

I haven't had to speculate about anything or been confused by just watching the show.

I don't have time to read the comics AND the forum AND watch the shows....LOL. I'll stick with the Forums and show and skip the comics.

I haven't had to speculate about anything or been confused by just watching the show.But you've got to admit that having Sylar in a semi-comatose state after having previously seen him ready to escape could be a little confusing.

though 300 does look pretty freaking sweet...the HD trailer is badasss


Agreed...I don't care if it's historically accurate or not, it looks frakking great (visually). "this is MADNESS!" "THIS IS SPARTA!!"

But you've got to admit that having Sylar in a semi-comatose state after having previously seen him ready to escape could be a little confusing.

They never showed him making an attempt to escape. They only showed him stopping Eden from trying to make him kill himself.

That's technically true, but the last we saw Sylar, he'd broken the glass and had a firearm. We we supposed to think he was just going to put the gun down and wait for the Haitian to put the smack down on him?

This is one case where the online comic robbed us of a payoff. I would like to have seen that on screen, as opposed to being forced to go online to see a drawing of it.

All the other comics have been complementary. Not required reading, just fun and some extra info for those that wanted it. The Sylar re-capture shouldn't have been treated as an extraneous episode. My 2 cents.

I agree. As Gakon pointed out above, that's quite a leap "between the lines". The TV audience was being led to believe Sylar was going to escape; then, suddenly and without explanation, he's back in custody and heavily sedated. I hope this "synergy" between the TV show and other web-related content is not a harbinger of things to come. At least with the LOST Experience, you didn't need to follow it over the summer to know what was going on with the TV show. They weren't explicitly connected.

I don't think it was a deliberate attempt to get people to read the comics. Probably just a plot hole.

Or it's possible that scene needed to be cut from the episode purely for time constraints.

It did kind of seem like that. Probably would have been one of the first scenes.

Is there a scheduled repeat marathon anytime soon? I recorded 6 episodes from the one in Jan. but it was select episodes. I haven't seen any shows from the series yet and want to start with #1 (marathon started with #4 or 5 I think).

Perhaps a legal download of the episodes anywhere (not counting iTunes as I don't want to pay $2/episode)? I know they are free to stream from NBC website, but I wanted to download if possible.

Thanks.

same here. I was a bit confused by that. I hope Heroes doesn't fall into the same hole that Lost has where they reveal more off screen than they do in the show. We've already seen the numbers explained in the online Lost game but it's a largely forgotten mystery on the show.

Hopefully Tim Kring is paying attention and won't let that happen again. There's one break coming up where that could happen.

I don't think it will happen, the two shows have some similarities, but I think Heroes will turn into more of an action/adventure series. Lost is more about the big mystery, which has had way too many clues and not enough answers. Heroes is very interesting each week(to me anyway), whereas Lost just seems to ramble on for weeks at at time, way too much background and flashbacks for my taste, it's all well and good, but it's really lost a lot of appeal to me, mainly because of the lack of direction it seems to wander off to, I've gotten to the point that I just don't care.

deja vu all over again
looked like a repeat of last season!

What last season? Do you have Hiro's ability? :p

Hong.

We've already seen the numbers explained in the online Lost game but it's a largely forgotten mystery on the show.Are you serious? Is this really true about the numbers? That's kinda hard to believe. If it is true, that's BS.... Unless of course they're planning on clueing in the TV audience to it at a later time. Then it's OK ;)

I noticed in Peter P's dream/vision, the other 'heroes' (except Nathan) are all running away from him....or at least seem to be. In the latest version of his dream, Nathan told him "I'm not leaving you." Now I'm wondering who or what's causing Pete to have these premonitional-dreams.

Also, for him to go nuclear and explode, Radiation-man needs to be nearby, but he hasn't yet been shown. So I'm guessing the fearless-looking Nate is gonna grab Pete and fly outta there like Neo, leaving Radiation-dude alone to nuke the city. Then perhaps Hiro can turn back the clock for damage control.

The real question is: will this event take place at season's end, or will they stretch it into season 2?

I think it was in one of the Hanso Foundation video clips that were on that website. Don't quite remember. I didn't play the game, but I saw the clip somewhere (YouTube?) where some Hanso guy explains the numbers. But anyway, the "explanation" was so nebulous and full of techno-jargon that it didn't make any sense, as I recall. There's a thread on the summer interactive game that's been dormant for awhile. Maybe somebody over there can shed some light on exactly where that vid clip can be found, for anyone who's interested.

Perhaps a legal download of the episodes anywhere (not counting iTunes as I don't want to pay $2/episode)? I know they are free to stream from NBC website, but I wanted to download if possible.
You just answered your own question - stream from NBC or download for $1.99 from iTunes.

Or wait for SciFi to rerun them, which I assume they will someday.

The numbers (4,8,15,16,23,42) are all factors in determining when the world is going to end...or something along those lines...

It has been revealed in the Lost Experience that these six numbers are the core values of the Valenzetti Equation, a mathematical formula designed to predict the end of humanity. The purpose of the DHARMA Initiative is to change the factors leading to humanity's demise, which will be indicated by an alteration in at least one of these numbers.

For more info, click here (http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/The_Numbers#4_8_15_16_23_42)

I spent all Summer with the Lost ARG and it was pretty fun...hopefully Heroes can do something similar over the long summer break...

Can we please discuss Heroes here, and Lost on the Lost forums?

And, please watch the spoilers (which the ARG's are)...

Thanks,

Next week going to be one good episode.

and Claire's dad is..................









































wait till next episode! :D I've got my theories though

Sylar's back with a vengeance.....and whatever Claire's dad is, he gonna get smacked around a bit. But I can't believe he'd walk into that cell unprepared; prolly got a trick up his sleeve...

Well, the last word he got was that Sylar was dead, so he may not be totally prepared, but the Haitian dude is usually close by and he seems to have some strong power, and it seems to be a bit more than just memory wipes.

You knew that was was coming with Sylar when they cranked up the volume on the clock chimes, which they do whenever he is using his ability to figure something out.

Even so, great episode, great ending. Can't wait til next week.

cant wait til next week... this might be the only series that has me edgy just for waiting....

but i already know who claries dad is.... but not telling...

Either Sylar is claire's dad...or in fact...HRG really is her dad as well...those are my guesses at the moment...

Or it could be linderman as well..

Hrg

Nathan Petrelli :-)

Nathan Petrelli :-)

I concur. Although I'm a little confused about the relationship between HRG and Nathan. If in fact Nathan is Claire's father how would he not know HRG?

You really think Nathan was in Texas 16 years ago sowing his wild oats? You know Claire's real mom has never left Texas ;).

Nathan is 40ish, maybe older. He'd have been early to mid twenties. He's not exactly the pillar of celibacy or faithfulness. No reason WHY he couldn't have been there, is there?

I may be wrong, but when they showed a male (wearing a suit ?) sitting down in a chair and showed his watch, they implied that that's Claire's dad.... Remember, they manipulate the teasers all the time and even though it looked like it could have been HRG or Nathan (we've never seen Linderman), that scene may be 100% unrelated.

By the way, what's the point of Hiro's dad showing up ?? I quit reading the online comics a long time ago..... Do I need to check there ??

To be continued ... :)

How about Ted the Nuclear Man... :)
The heat/fire connection would make sense between the powers of the characters and their apparently feigned demise in the fire...

Or maybe Peter Petrelli got it on with an older woman in his teen years. That would explain the unusual chemistry between Peter and Claire. Possibly even another explanation for the cause of the fire...

...or Claude...maybe...

Also remember that Nathan was in the millitary. I can't remember which branch but I think Navy. It is possible that has visited Texas or was stationed somewhere near Odessa before he was deployed to Bosnia. I know there Naval bases in Ingleside and Corpus Christi. I don't know it's just a theory.

i think Ando is claires dad...

Five bucks says Claire's real daddy is Linderman. He had a fling with trailer-trash-Mom 17 years ago and then went on to a life of crime.

Okay, what's with all of the 'extra' online novels at NBC's site ?? 1-12 are obvious, but then they start with "wireless" parts 1-4 and "how do you stop...". I know the 2nd half of the season has something to do with 'wireless', but there's not been (4) episodes, have there ?? And who's "Hana" ??

hall, the Hana graphic novels were put on the site over the hiatus, introducing a new character who will show up in a couple of weeks on the show. I believe she was also in a preview NBC played during DoND, just before last weeks episode.

BTW, did anyone happen to notice? The invisible guy is played by the same actor who was Dr. Who last season, Christopher Eccleston

Maybe that's why the dead scientist's son (crap can't remember his name) had that Dr. Who scarf thing going on when he and Nathan visited Peter's apartment. :)

I don't see how Nathan could be her father. HRG would on known Nathan and vice versa, but when HRG captured Nathan and they talked, it was as if they never met.

How would Nathan have known HRG? It's possible they never met. We still don't know how Claire truly came to be in his custody, so anythings possible at this point.

And the creepy Brit Army Officer in 28 Days Later:

"I promised them women"Ah, that's why he always looked familiar. His Wiki entry shows he's beein in quite a few other things as well.
Christopher Eccleston (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Eccleston)

I know who the father is...



of course it has to be: The Thing!

I don't know how many pages I have to read to catch up, but I will and get into to the conversation. But this show has me still in must see mode. It does lose out to 24(sorry everyone)but 10:02 I start Heroes. I am assuming that second character reveal is still off limits. But the invisable one is pretty good. I Just flashed back to 1990 when he came into the picture. It reminded me of Ghost. When mr. Swayze was trained.
Now that they all know each other are they going to buy suits? Except for the cop, he has one already.

Claire's father is the Haitian. Would explain why baby got back.

Seriously though, why not Peter? Remember with contact from the right Hiro or Hiro's father(I'm betting), Peter could bend space and time. Perhaps he and young Claire's mother had a relationship, or just a one night stand.

Could be another Peter. I'm guessing it truly isn't Peter, but its possible. She could call Peter. He's invisible, not dead.

i bet its Peter.... Peter Parker

After reading some spoilers, I think anything is possible for the writers at this point, and I like their ideas.

Didn't that guy that was on the screen when Meredith called Claire's Dad, wear a pinkish purple shirt that seems to be associated with a sleazy gambler-type of a person? I remeber seeing some big jewelries...

I think it will be a new character that we have not seen before.

Hiro's father must have a power although it hasn't been shown yet. Hiro, the dorky salaryman having a boss as a father seemed a bit ironic. I thought the very perfect translation of "GULP" was a nice touch.

Don't ATM machines have cameras? I think Micah will run into the law.

HRG cannot die, well, not this early anyway. Will he reveal that he is one of the "Heroes"? But then, Sylar has to kill him to get his power. So, no, I don't think HRG is a "Hero".

Hong.

Hong.

I think if he is able to turn on broken phones and make ATM spit out money without a card it is probably safe to assume that the cameras are somehow shut off or disconnected by him at the time of his power usage.
Plus his ATM and phone tricks are related because they both work off of phone lines so his power is related circuitry in phone lines. Maybe he will be able to transfer himself through the lines in future episodes.

Based on the spoilers I've read(they were spot on for the last two episodes) I wouldn't assume anything about this show in a LOST kind of way.

Vader - "Who says I am the one.............the kid is not my son"That's just wrong :p. And HRG is Claire's real dad (IMO). Mr Sulu; he comes from the future to stop Hiro from stopping Blowup Guy. Is he Linderman?

edit: I somehow missed the "..you're not going to believe who her father is", part.

I screwed up and watched the preview this week - so I guess I can revisit the thread. The usually spoilery previews showed the wrist of her father and it looked a lot like Nathan Petrelli's. Cuff open and nice watch. If that's the case the marketing folks are idiots for showing that. In fact, the whole "You're not going to believe who her father is" is idiotic in and of itself. Why let us know that we have seen her father already?

Marketing folks are just dumb. The show has a great following...they don't have to fluff up the previews to get us to watch, the just need to deliver great eps.

Hiro's line; "That's how we roll"

priceless
:D

Its not Nathan...its definitely Linderman...I think


On an un-related note, did anyone watch Studio 60?

The dialog between Sarah Paulson and Masi Oka was PRICELESS...he's got pretty much no accent! He's amazing

and yeah "Thats how we roll" Best Line of the Show!

Yeah, the studio 60 appearance was great.

For those that claim it can't be Nathan because Nathan didn't know HRG when they met......... maybe he was captured years prior and the Haitian already wiped his memories, and he didn't know he could fly again until everything started happening with Peter. So, there is an explanation of how HRG knew Nathan and who he was, and what they needed to do, but why Nathan didn't know him. Or better yet, maybe HRG wiped Nathan's memory when Claire was born, and he didn't know Nathan had powers until recently, which is why he captured him before Nathan flew away. Either way, HRG could have known Nathan, but not the other way around.

Plus his ATM and phone tricks are related because they both work off of phone lines so his power is related circuitry in phone lines. Maybe he will be able to transfer himself through the lines in future episodes.

His power is technology in general, not related to phone lines. The phone in the phone booth was broke and he fixed it. He also takes apart everything (i.e. the laptops in earlier episodes) and figures out how it all works. Its more general in fixing/manipulating technology to do what he wants.

i'd compare Micah's power with Silar's. He sees how things 'tick' and makes them work. But, obviously, Micha's works with eletronics and not people's brains...

tonybradley - That really makes no sense though...why would they then try to capture Nathan AGAIN when he was in Vegas??

Congratulations to the writers for having a rare believable computer scene:

Claire says - you're a computer whiz, check out my dad's computer. And the kid says - hey I edit movies on my laptop, doesn't mean I can hack into a system. Besides, if your dad is who you say he is, he's not going to keep stuff on the family computer.

Usually there would be a monochrome green 72 pt login screen, the kid would make two password guesses, and he'd be in. Then it's just a simple matter to go to the "Secret stuff" folder and it's all there for the taking. :rolleyes:

OT: did anyone see Jon Stewart trying to get Bill Gates' password on The Daily Show?

I guess you didn't read my entire post. I said OR they wiped his memory when HRG took Claire and at that time they didn't know he had powers. So, they wouldn't have taken him AGAIN as the first time they just wiped his memory of Claire. I'm not saying it's Nathan, as I have no clue, I'm just stating that for those saying it couldn't have been Nathan since they would have already met before.......not if his memory was wiped when HRG took Claire.

OT: did anyone see Jon Stewart trying to get Bill Gates' password on The Daily Show?

Stewart seemed to really catch Gates off-guard at first with his question: do you have any pets?
Hilarious
