Heroes thread (may contain spoilers)

[xmas74]

Sylar's name: Gabriel Gray.

And Niki's an alcoholic.

[xmas74]

1. Nathan was supposed

to prosecute Linderman.

[xmas74]

2. Mr Bennett (HRG)

is the only person not affected by Eden's vocal powers. That means he must be a SG.

[texas1928]

3. I think the Black guy is a damper for her powers.

He was in the room, with them.

[xmas74]

4. Tim Kring said that only one person would be

completely immune to her powers and that it was the person we'd least expect.

The Haitian wasn't the damper. It's HRG. He's and SG, just like Claire.

[Rob H.]

10. What does SG mean?

I know HRG means horn-rimmed glasses, but the other? :shrug:

[xmas74]

14. Super Genome.

It's what most of the boards are calling them instead of Heroes. They're calling them that instead because we're not quite sure if all of them will be good.

[Rob H.]

20. Ah, got it--and that's a great idea

It also covers people like Nathan, who has powers but seems reluctant to have them revealed to anyone. (I wonder if he'd be so reluctant if he weren't a politician, though.)



SPOILER: We may have gotten another insight last night into why he doesn't want them revealed, too. If his wife remembers anything about the accident that left her paralyzed she'd know that he floated up out of the car right before it ran into that freeway barrier. Can't imagine she'd be too happy to find out that she didn't hallucinate the whole thing, despite the fact that it was the first time (that the viewer knows of) he flew and seemed to do it involuntarily.

Too bad next week's episode is the last until the new year. :(

[xmas74]

21. It's ok-

in January they will be introducing a new hero. I'm really excited about it-they've already announced who it is and what the power will be.


It's the power I'd want.

[xmas74]

5. Nathan was run off the road 6 months ago.

First time we know of that he flew. It's the accident he was in w/ his wife. She saw him floating out of the car.

And Peter woke up before the phone rang. He saw Nathan fly out of the car in his dream.

[xmas74]

6. Charlie had a blood clot.

I wonder how many of them have something similar.

[Haole Girl]

7. I never thought of that.

Thanks for this post, btw. Next week will be the last one of this season, I believe. It's sure to be a cliff hanger! :hi:

[xmas74]

13. They're supposed to kill someone off.

I'd wondered if maybe something odd would show up on a CT scan or something for each of them. Sylar goes for their brains-maybe it's really that clot that he's attacking. Maybe the clot isn't a clot.

[nytemare]

8. I wonder what is up with Hiro's power.

Poor guy!

[xmas74]

11. Probably doesn't have control of it yet.

[texas1928]

9. Sylar is eating their brains...

To gain their power.

[xmas74]

12. Kinda gross, isn't it.

[FVZA_Colonel]

22. It certainly is, but at the same time,

it just makes him all the more villanous, doesn't it?

[xmas74]

23. Actually, I wonder about his backstory.

He's really got some father issues. What did his dad do that was so awful? What would make him even consider doing what he's doing?

The son of a watchmaker becomes one-sounds like he's not too happy w/ his father.Refers to his family as being nothing special-nobodies. He sounds desperate to be someone.

[FVZA_Colonel]

25. I am as well

It should be interesting to see what made him into the man that Chandra Suresh met when he first walked in to that watch shop.

[xmas74]

28. Exactly.

And is he really working on his own or has someone given him a push?

[BreweryYardRat]

24. Better theory (not mine).

I thought so too until I saw this:

He sees how other peoples' brains work. After seeing that, he rewires his own brain to work that way, kinda like fixing a clock.

[xmas74]

30. I've heard that one too.

Last night did explain quite a bit about that. He seems to be the ultimate Mr. Fix-It.

[FVZA_Colonel]

40. I hope so.

That would be a much more creative idea than him simply eating people's brains and then absorbing their powers.

[philosophie_en_rose]

15. Poor Hiro!

That is all. :(

[xmas74]

16. Poor Hiro is right!

He's having a rough time of it.

(He's my favorite)

[philosophie_en_rose]

17. But Charlie's death was a smart move for the series.

I liked Charlie a lot, but at least we now know that Hiro won't just be able to go back in time and change whatever nuclear disaster might happen. More urgency in the series, then.

So we know Hiro couldn't go back to 2000 and change any elections or anything. :)

[xmas74]

18. Though the actor in real life would probably get a kick out of

that.

I read an interview w/ him-seems he's interested in the environment.

[xmas74]

19. Oh, if you're interested-

an interview w/ one of the writers. There are some interesting hints thrown out.

26. I have to wonder about Nikki though.

Is it that "Jessica" is simply an alternate personality Nikki's mind created to deal with having an abusive alcoholic for a father? Or could it be that this actually is Jessica, that somehow Jessica's... soul actually moved into Nikki's body after her "death?"

[xmas74]

29. That's been the question.

Is it another personality, does Nikki have any powers of her own, did they both have different powers and were combined when Jessica died, etc?

Lots of questions still there.

[Yavin4]

27. Ali Larter Has Real Superpowers

Every time she's on the screen, my penis gets larger.

[xmas74]

31. My brother likes Eden better. nt

[Yavin4]

32. She Too Has That Effect On Me

Wow, do you think they all have special powers?

[xmas74]

33. I don't know-

my brother likes her power. Not only does she have that effect on him but she can also order a cop to eat donuts in his patrol car instead of arresting her.

[Haole Girl]

34. Wouldn't we all love that?

:-)

[xmas74]

35. That would be my dream power

but the power they're introducing in January would be awesome too!

[Haole Girl]

36. What's that...?

I must have missed it.

That's what I get for trying to watch it and DU at the same time. :-(

[xmas74]

37. It's a spoiler (kinda

since the producer announced it but it hasn't happened yet).

If you want the info I can send you a pm. Just let me know.

[Haole Girl]

38. Sure...

..if it's not too much trouble. Thanks. :hi:

[xmas74]

39. Sorry it took so long!
