definatly, i cant recall if it was episode 1 or 2, but they show him dead and when hiro first gets to NY and within a few seconds NYC blows up.

anyone recall this scene?

Yeah, I'd put money on Isaac getting offed, but I don't understand what Sylar would want with him. Would that power really help him? Or maybe it's just that he's addicted to the powers, he feels like he has to have everything he can get. That's probably closer to the truth.

That last episode was pretty cool, though. It was neat watching the characters 6 months ago, when you knew things they didn't. I was yelling at the cop, "She's cheating on you!!".

Yeah, Hiro saw Isaac dead, and then the cops showed up, arrested Hiro, and then when he was in the cop's office NY blew up.

As for Sylar blowing up NYC, I don't see why he'd do it. He doesn't seem to be evil that way, just that he wants powers from all the heroes. Maybe he steals the radiation guy's powers and doesn't understand them, and triggers the explosion accidentally? I'm not sure.

I really liked the back story on Nicki last episode. Really cool how they explain her multiple personality disorder being linked with her power.

I guess I was wrong about Suresh, it seems like he really is a good guy. I'm trying to look ahead and see where the big blowout moment is going to be. Can Sylar really be working alone? He seems like a bad guy but he also seems like more of a henchman based on the comic book formula.

As per who gets off'ed? Good question. It will definetely be some minor guy Isaac is the most likely candidate as his power isn't exactly captivating and is theoretically redundant with Hiro's power.

holy smokes, i love this show. just saw the last episode and i cant wait for the next one...

so many twists tonight!

[Antithesis]

Tonight's episode was just awesome - full of so many twists and turns, revelations, actions ... it just keeps getting better and better and has quickly earned a place in my "must watch" list.

[Regulator75]

I don't want to wait till Jan 22... Damn what a great series.

[philip1985]

I absolutely love Heroes. It has definetely been a must see show on Monday nights for myself. I just can't get enough of this show. I'm looking forward to buying it on DVD when it does come out.

My girlfriend was watching Ellen earlier this evening and they had some of the cast on the show. They all seem so down to earth, looking forward to seeing what happens in the coming episodes of this show.

Great episode tonight and the look ahead to January is fantastic.

I will miss the hero that dies though.

So Hiro get his katana sword at the royal tyrell museum? :P


I'm really not sure which show i like better Heroes or Lost. It sucks all the shows are now on hiatus until January/Febuary. Curious to know what is wrong with Peter?

My guess is it's from all the powers that he has absorbed. I have a feeling that when all of them get together he won't be able to control anything and that is what causes him to go BOOM!

[JerzeeGirl]

I thought it was really curious that he collapsed outside the jail and fell into a vision - maybe Peter does have an actual power, in that he's a conduit, rather than being a flyer like Nathan, indestructible like Clare or a human A-bomb like Ted(?), he can absorb the talents of those close to him and use them but also has the latent ability of being used by talents (his mind is a sponge to all that is around him) so they hit him as they are picked up by his subconscious......or maybe that's just me.

Another option for Peter is that he becomes a human A-Bomb because he wasn't supposed to have powers and that in absorbing them he is making himself unstable and his body is breaking down under the pressure.

I cannot wait to see what Sylar does to Clare's family, if he catches her, if the Haitian helps her and what he has to say.....also Eden! WTF!!!

Cannot believe they are going on hiatus now - totally unfair!!!!!

[Philly06Cup]

Does anyone get the impression that Nathan Petrelli is evil? He's such an ass to Peter; cheats on his wife; destroys paintings of the future; has ties with the Linderman mob; is a politician. The guy just oozes of shady-ness. The vision of him turning into Sylar also adumbrates something suspicious there.

Also: Has the cheerleader already been saved? Or does she require more saving?

[kermitology]

Yeah I definitely get that feeling about Nathan. He just has too much evil surrounding him. Interesting twist at the end there with Sylar and Eden. I didn't actually expect Eden's trick to work on him so that part wasn't so surprising, but the other part.. wow.

How is NBC getting away with being so graphic on TV? So much blood and gore on that show.

I really want to see more of Ando and Hiro though. I love the dynamic between them. That line of "Destiny would lose our phone number" and "I really have to find that sword" I lol'd.

[BlackEleven]

I thought the most interesting part was where the un-named Hatian guy told Claire he had been sent there to wipe her memory but it was very important that he did not and had a secret to tell her. Added a very interesting twist to the story, imo. Can't wait to find out where that goes.

In regards to Peter, I'm not sure what was going on with that vision. I thought that perhaps Sylar -- or perhaps someone else that has the power to see the future -- was in the vicinity and he was absorbing one of his powers or something. On the other hand, maybe its related to him getting so sick. I was wondering what was going on there and why his face was becoming so pale...

[Flame On]

Such a great show and I know what you mean about it seemingly getting away with stuff it's just so on the edge from what we normally see.
I think Peter absorbs the power of the Nuke man and doesn't know how to control it and thus it goes off.

[I-Hate-Hulse]

Interesting how Mr Bennett is actually part of a larger organization.... which begs the question: who's pulling the strings?

As for Eden - are we sure it's her and not Sylar? The did seem to leave that open, perhaps for dramatic effect....

Hiro's showdown with the dinosaurs... I'm guessing the American Museum of Natural History in NY?

Oh I think it's her.. Sylar's comment and then hers?

*SPOLIER HIGHLIGHT*
Sylar says "You know that won't do anything to me" after he pulls her through the glass and then she basically says that it'll do something to her and *BAM* blood on the window.. besides if she shot Sylar then the blood probably wouldn't have gone all over the window there..

I was wondering if he gets thrown back in time to the actual dinosaur period.
Maybe Sylar even kills one era's version of Hiro so gets his powers or something.

Also don't forget that Eden said to Clare's dad that she wondered what the Haitian thought about keeping Sylar alive, or what he thought about anything at all seeing as he apparently was mute (to her at least). I think that Clare's dad doesn't really know as much about the Haitian, or control him, as much as he thinks he does.

Also, I'm pretty sure that that was Eden at the end....to prevent Sylar from absorbing her powers and becoming practically unstoppable - imagine him with the power of compulsion? The only reason they got him the first time was that he was injured and didn't realize what was happening.

Nathan isn't good either but I don't know that he's evil. I think he's fighting against admitting he has these powers that he knows obligate him in a way he doesn't want to be obligated, a la Peter & the other heroes. I think he blames his powers for his wife's injuries too, as they are what caused him to lose control of the car he was driving when the accident happened. It looks like he's getting in bed with Linderman et al, destroying the painting and getting Peter out of jail along with all the rest in an effort to protect his family from further harm.

Also, "adumbrate"?
Kudos to Philly06Cup for trotting out the dictionary word du jour!!!
