Spoilers ahoy!!!!.......................I saw it. A few things have me perplexed though. Number one, Mr. Bennett told Sylar that his powers were useless inside his little prison, but that didn't stop him from yanking Eden and the gun through the window by telekinesis. Was Mr. Bennett just bluffing and hoping that Sylar wouldn't try it? Or was there actually something about the room that made it special in some way but clearly didn't work properly. Seems like a REALLY big risk to hold the most dangerous man in the world in a room without adequate built in security measures to counteract his abilities. Number two, how come all of a sudden Isaac was able to paint without being high. Was he faking before for Mr Bennett, or did he just conveniently pull that out of his (removed) in the hotel in typical Hollywood fashion. And what is up with the dragon Hiro slays, is that just a metaphor or is there actually going to be a real dragon.

I think Bennet thought the room would hold him. I don't think he knew just how powerful sylar was. sylar was just playing along.Quote, originally posted by redlava » Number two, how come all of a sudden Isaac was able to paint without being high.

I can't wait.

Apparently No, he's not going to erase her memory. He wants her to pretend she doesn't remember so her dad will think she forgot about it.The "hatian" clearly has his own motives or answers to someone else OR whoever Claire's dad was argueing with over the phone (about keeping Sylar alive) is telling the Hatian what to do.The Hatian had to be close by when Bennet was interogating Sylar the first two times but it doesn't make sense why Eden would go into that room without him knowing that Sylar could use his powers. Unless she took it for granted that Sylar wouldn't do anything while she was talking.Strange that Sylar didn't listen to Eden either...About Peter's dream at the end... It has to be heavily symbolic in nature b/c (in an earlier episode) when Hiro sees the blast he is at Issac's home (in the future) where Issac is dead (I wonder why Sylar would want his ability although clearly it's not on his list of priorities) & in Peters vision Issac is there with everone else.

Issac figures out that he can draw the future when he notices that he drew those sketches of Hiro and the waitress....while not on heroin.i think that proved to him that he could draw without being high.so we know that Peter gets close to the 'atomic man' at some point and mimics his powers to the point of also becoming radioactive (you have noticed that Peter mimics the powers of whomever he is near right?)...except he has no idea how to control it and is the cause of the nuclear explosion.There are 2 things going on here...the explosion could just be a case of Peter accidently mimicing the atomic guy...but there is definitely somebody out there trying to coral all these superpowers (arguing with claire's dad on the phone).I don't know. I just LOVE the creativity of the show and thank the network for not putting out yet another detective/crime scene/kidnapping/murder/court lawyer show!It truly brings me back to my childhood comic book days with the style of plot....my wife is hooked too and is actually starting to browse that box of old dusty comics in our basement!

lol! yeah it is a great show. My wife actually likes it, too. I'm surprised we haven't seen more elemental type powers but we're just know getting to the good part where all the story is set up. I really hope it's something a little more dramatic than Peter getting close to the Radioactive Man (I think his name's Ted) & not being able to control his power. I think I'm gonna have Hero withdrawls next Monday...

see here: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=26198for a quick list of what i've got...probably about 200 or so total...but i 'purged' a bunch when i was younger...stories i didn't like, etc. and only collected because at the age of 14 thought they were 'good investments'. Everything I have now are due to great stories.

We've never watched it. As dumb as it may sound, seeing just the preview that showed the guy jumping into the air like Superman totally turned me off toward the show. For some reason I couldn't get over how stupid that looked, so have never watched a single second.

It's really alot better after the first couple episodes. Those were just setting everyting up and introducing the fairly large cast. I missed the first few but managed to catch that marathon of the first 4-5 chapters and got myself up to speed.I think Nathan (flying guy) has only flown once or twice throughout the whole series. It's more about the people than the powers.

It really is a good show. I look forward to Heroes now more than Battlestar Galactica. My friend's wife asked him once..."Why do you watch Heroes? Isn't that a geeky show like Ron (me) would watch?" Now she is addicted to it just like the rest of my friends!

"i'm gonna find em, and your gonna nuke em" well that was different. 4 new people have powers. Hiro and his buddy, what a pair. and I guess his powers do still work.

4? sorry my daughter was kinda distracting me during the later parts of the show. Kinda silly that they only included internet woman in the preview during DonD... The only other new character I noticed was the Invisible guy...and yes... Hiro rocks! Nerdy Japanese guys make the best heroes

Bit of a change up from Doctor Who.It'll be interesting to see George Takei interact with Hiro.

oh I thought you were countng completely new characters. The guy in the shed is... Ted He's the radioactive guy. I think he was only in one episode midways thru the first part. After he escapes noone knows where he is.

Not very cool But, I love the show

This is a crazy thought (but this is Heroes we're talking here) what about Nathan Petrelli being Claire's Dad? He's old enough, he's married, has been known to cheat on his wife (so another kid is very possible), and wears suits like they showed at the end....The supossed death of everyone in a fire was obviously a cover-up to protect his family/image.
