I think that kid might be the first person the elder Dr. Mohinder met that had special powers which is why he was so focused on finding more people like him/her.

Wow...stop the presses because my DVR actually started AFTER Deal or No Deal was over and recorded ALL of next week's previews!

A few things about tonight's episode:

I'm starting to think that Sylar's after all these heroes because he wants to absorb all their powers in order to survive the destruction. He gets their powers by stealing their brains?

On the other hand, he's not as powerful as I initially thought. If enough people ganged up on him, he can be temporarily stopped. Also, he mistakenly went for Jackie first. He thought Jackie was "the one" and only knew he had the wrong one once he saw Claire mutating herself back to health.

Regarding Eden and Creepy Dad's silent sidekick...who do they really work for? Did Creepy Dad tell them to get Sylar or are they doing it on their own?

If Peter has the power to absorb, why didn't his wounds heal up when he was with Claire?

I'm glad Mohinder has the list of who's who. But I guess we'll have to wait for that until they give us the backstory.

Can't wait to find out what really happened to Jessica! I wonder if she really lived?

I've been hearing about the show, but yesterday was the first time I ever saw it becuase my bf has been muttering "Save the cheerleader. Save the world." in my ears I swear at least 30 times. :p It looks like a pretty cool show. I hope that have older episodes online :)

Good idea but how did he know about the destruction of the world in the first place? So far, only Isaac, Peter, & Hiro know about the end of the world.


I think he's under orders from them. He seems to be running the show (for now) though I wouldn't be surprised if the "mutants" overtake him & end up running things their way. Then again, Eden did once comment that he helped her learn to control & use her powers so perhaps that's what he's trying to do. He's the Professor X of the group. Teaching them to channel their powers though he knows how to do this is still a mystery.

I thought they did. All we saw were the remnants of dried blood on him. Poor Peter. He's going to probably be arrested for the cheerleaders death. I wonder if Mr. Horn-Rimmed will help him IF Claire tells him about her power & about how he has the same ability as her (or so she thinks).

I like him & his story so far. I really want to know what he's going to do with the list. I did happen to see the last name "Petrelli" on the list but I don't know if they were referring to Nathan or Peter.

I think she did b/c in the clip, we see her grave. Perhaps she was Nikki's twin sister that died but is somehow now able to communicate through Nikki when she takes over.

So we hear the bullet ring out when Jessica shot at D.L. Did she hit him or more likely, since he can absorb himself into things, the bullet just went through him & then out. I can't wait for next week but I do wish they'd show more Hiro. I want to see how his story develops with the cute waitress.

My thought on Jessica is that she was the one with the mutant powers, and however she was related to Niki (friends, family, same home town, etc) she took advantage of Niki by leaping over to her body upon death (possibly suicide)

I was kind of annonyed that they even attempted to make it climatic when Sylar and Peter were laying in a broken mess after the fall. We already knew that Sylar could survive being shot so there was no reason to believe he was dead. Peter absorbs powers and was momments before touching Claire so there was no reason to think he'd stay dead. :( I missed Hiro and Matt this episode.

Definitely. But it was even better to see that she'd been Sylar-ed.

But did Peter absorb any of Sylar's 'powers'?
If so, look for a jail break next week as I do not think Dad has any thought of helping anyone but his 'daughter' and himself.

I thought that all the "Heroes" would have to come together to save the cheerleader. I was somewhat disappointed with the episode.

Was anyone else surprised at the implication that Claire's friend is gay? I thought he was in luv with her.

That's what I thought too. I have many gay friends, but none would ever take a ladder up to my window and help me sneak out.

For a brief moment, when Peter looked at the photo of the painting, I thought that it was Claire's friend that lay dead in front of the HS, not Peter. They both have dark hair and are moody looking.

IMHO it is a bit too soon for that.

Of course it is. They need to drag it out at least until the Season Finale.

Just found this on MSNBC.com :
Save the cheerleader, save ‘Heroes’?

Sure, ‘Heroes’ is hot, but its much-hyped episode was a let-down


http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15818267/

Did Claire's friend really admit he was gay? I thought the other cheerleader said he was and then the friend said something like, "I don't care, it doesn't really matter what she thinks of me." I didn't think he was actually saying he was gay.

Hell yeah
Ok, I did feel really bad for her at this point.
I don't think Peter can "keep" his powers for that long. Question though, did he have a scar from his Sylar encounter? Future-Hiro made a comment about a scar.
The question is did they save the right cheerleader?
They've been playing close to the line on that for a while. I think the main point is that it doesn't matter because he's still there for her

He didn't say he wasn't gay though. He basically said "I'm happy with who I am and I want you to be too." I took that as admitting he's gay with out upsetting right wing bible thumpers...who I would guess wouldn't actually watch the show. So then why be ambiguous? :confused:

It left me wondering if the writers (and actor) knew about this twist very long. Like I mentioned I thought he luvs Claire. So now I'm trying to figure out if it was intentional or did this come from out of the blue.

It's been in there though. There was a comment about taking her out for a date and he said something like "not on your life." And the second episode had a comment from Jackie about "I heard you got an erection in the locker room" to Zach. Basically a punch worthy comment that made Claire's assault on her so much sweeter.

I don't think they're avoiding upsetting the conservative Christian crowd, to me it's a very normal progression. He's 17 or so and even if he's sure that he is gay, he's not necessarily ready to reveal it. To him, that's as big of a secret as Claire's superpowers.

I think they're leaving it open for the audience so it can go either way, but they've already decided.

Apparently the characters have Myspace pages (I don't have access at work) and he's listed as "questioning."

Thanks! You're totally right. I was so under the "Zach + Claire 4 Eva" spell that I let those hints slip past me. :)

Well, with the time-traveling that goes on in the show it's not at all unlikely that the school scene may get replayed with different consequences later in the season.

Very interesting thought.

Ooo, that's a interesting question.

Well and isn't there a painting of Hero and Ando standing under the fallen Homecoming banner? I think they're going to show up there after the Sylar/Peter fall but sometime that night.

I'm looking forward to this "6 Months Earlier" episode...

Thoughts on last night's "6 months ago" episode?
Still left me with a lot fo questions.

OH HOLY EYEBROWS, SYLAR!

I have lots of questions as well...

What exactly was Sylar's 1st power-was it just being able to see/hear what is wrong with something and it grew from there?

I am curious to see how exactly Sylar gains the power after killing them...does he get the power just by touching their brain? And does this mean that his ability and Peter's are similiar in some ways? Just that Peter does not need to kill to absorb a power?

I guess Eden was successful in getting at least Claire's pic off the Dr. Suresh's list since Sylar killed the wrong cheerleader. Eden has the power of getting whatever she wants?

What did Niki/Jessica's dad do to them that was so horrible?


I enjoyed the Hiro/Charlie storyline. How cute he fell in love! Aishiteru!

Which hero do you think they'll kill off before the hiatus?

I don't think he necessarily had a "power" like eveyone else. His wasn't as extraordinary as everyone else's. He basically could just hear/see stuff that's wrong.

I figured he touches them or he eats them. Ewww...
I don't think his & Peter's are the same b/c Peter's are temporary. Sylar seems to be able to keep them more long-term but it is too early to tell since we only just met him.

Yeah. She tells them to do something & they follow orders. Pretty cool power!

He beat Jessica to death. She told him that she took his beatings to protect Niki & one of those beatings killed her. The only reason she returned is b/c Niki needed her protection again.

I'm guessing Eden. If not, one of the minor Heroe's.

My hubby thinks it will be Isaac. I hope not, he's cute!
I'm hoping it will be Nathan, or maybe the black dude that follows Creepy Dad around.

I want it to be Nathen but it can't be because he wins the election, he is suck a jerk!

I think the mind reading cop is going to get killed off. His story line really hasn't been much of anything. I think he actually will kill himself.

I really like the 6 months ago episode. It really brought everything together but like OTW said I now have more questions.

I can't decide if Clair's Dad is good or evil. And what are they going to do with Sylar?

Is Nikki trying to shoot her husband and why?

No. It's Jessica (her evil twin that takes over her body & personality) that's trying to kill DL. She feels that she's protecting Niki by doing this.

Regarding the symbol that resembles the RNA molecule...

Someone on another message board I frequent posted this after seeing it on Wikipedia:

Tonight's episode is going to be good!

Well...I'm surprised Eden was the one they killed off.
All in all, a good episode, but it sucks the show won't be back 'til January 22nd.
I'm sick of this TV winter break bullshit where shows are off for a month! Grrr...

my favorite character is the Haitian guy. Somehow I hope that he becomes the ultimate villain and takes over the world.

He spoke!!! Love the accent. But uh, he told Claire that its important that she remembers when her father wants him to brainwash her like the rest...that suggests to me that he's one of the good guys. I can honestly say that was the best part of the show last nite (along with peter petrelli blowing himself in the future). Another thing, who exactly does Claire's father work for? Whoever "they" are, they wanted to keep Sylar alive...but why?

It's a good thing that show is going on a hiatus because I have no business watching it for the next two weeks.

Haitian guy makes me happy. :) I was surprised that Claire's dad works for someone. I honestly thought he was the head honcho.

So did Sylar bust out of that place or did he just bust out of his cage but is still locked in the room?

man I really don't know what is going on in this show. I have probably watched 3 episodes sparatically. A friend of mine told me that they show reruns on the sci-fi channel, so I am definately going to catch up

You think Haitian guy is good? Isn't the poppa a good guy, and so since he asked Claire if she cuold keep a secret, then wouldn't he be going against the poppa? Thus making him bad?

I really hope he's a bad guy. I'd be so disappointed if he was a good guy. Infact, if he were to be the ultimate good guy then he would move down in my rankings.

The Congressman would definately be my fav.

I think so but it's still too early to tell. The fact that he wants Claire to remember what's happening is a good sign.


Papa Horn-rims is still 50/50 IMO. There are signs that he's a good guy since he's adamant about protecting Claire BUT that could all be a ruse. He might just be using her for some ultimate bad plan.

I have to agree with you. For me, Sylar is way too obvious of a bad guy. I like my villains to be more subtle. Papa is definitely a subtle guy.

Nathan Petrelli is something else. He's what I call a reluctant good guy. I think perhaps the show might go in the direction of the good Heroe's facing off against Nathan & Mr. Horn-rims. Then again, Papa did kidnap Nathan & Nathan escaped his clutches & knows what he looks like so Nathan is the wild-card.

Okay, now I'm wondering who Claire's dad is working for.

I've only seen the episode once, so I don't quite get Peter's dream...but I did notice that Ted (radioactive guy) and Sylar are nowhere to be seen. All the known heroes were shown running away from him, but Ted and Sylar weren't there. Perhaps Ted and Sylar have something to do with Destructive Peter?

We also didn't see who got shot for sure -- we just saw the gun pointing in the opposite direction and BANG! Blood. It'd be a trip if Eden really killed Sylar...absorbed his abilities and became the bad guy. Has Sylar ever used a gun on any of his victims or did he kill em all the same way?

I admit, Eden getting revenge for her neighbor's murder was a nice twist. However...I'm led to wonder what kind of relationship she had with Mohinder's dad. He probably found her the way he found the others, right? So what if Eden really wanted to kill Sylar because she knew she could probably get all the powers he got from the people he's killed so far?

So many damn questions!
