Hope there isn't already a thread about this... has anyone else been watching this show? Just watched the first 11 episodes and I think it's freaken awesome; plot, characters, super powers - all of it. I'm hearing Season 1 continues this Monday. Any takers?

R2D2:I've seen up to Lizards, as I can't find any later episodes.

The Janitor: I doubt that, as he'd have to be concentrating on blocking powers all the time as no ones powers work when he's near.

i thought that aswell, but i think he has to make a consciouse decision to block them. and as he had a gun pointed at him, he thought nathan wouldnt try anything maybe?

Finally decided to watch this show last weekend, watched the entire first Season, and the first 2 episodes from Season 2.

Have to say it's awesome, and I can't wait till the next episode.

One thing I didn't understand, and didn't find answered in this thread (which I read almost completely :O) is when Bennett and the Haitian run into Nathan and drive him against the fence (one of the first episodes from Season 1), Nathan is seen jumping up in the sky, and flying away. Shouldn't the Haitian have blocked Nathan's flying abilities?

Hahahahaha, so that's how Kensei survived during his life. lol


That was a neat surprise yeah :D I had thought they might just make Hiro take over, but I guess Hiro will just train him in heroics after this. I had a look at the 12 trials of Kensei or whatever they are, and the last one seemed quite a grisly death (cut out heart), because I had been presuming Hiro would take over the role of Kensei I didn't know how that would work, but now with the Claire scenes in that episode we know Kensei could possible survive such a fate...

Peter Petrelli IS Jason Bourne!

Mr Muggles is actually quite smart in his own way :P

Mohinder and HRG are pretty damn sneaky this time round!

Liked the Matt/Angela scene "GET OUTTA MY HEAD!!*

Wonder what it was that attacked her? Interesting that Peter's fathers company used the godsend kanji as well...

Oh and seems Alejandro has a power too, take pain into himself? Absorb it somehow? Interesting that they are twins.

All in all another excellent episode!

I watched it, it was awesome.

Spoilers:
























































I havn't been looking for spoilers if there are any, so I was really surprised when Nathan turned up. Thought he was dead :eek:

The montage at the start was curious, lots of old stuff but also a look ahead - Sylar looks like he'll get his hands on that mexican girl... but not eat her brain?

R.I.P Mr Nakamura. Was kinda hoping for a sword fight but oh well.

Hiro can be such an idiot :P Been wondering though... could he have changed history? Don't know if its even possible but could Hiro somehow have caused his father etc. to be marked for death by people with that sign? It WAS on Kensei's flag...

Kensei is awesome btw, totally unexpectedly awesome.

And I bet noone thought Matt and Mohinder would have a kid :P

I had a feeling Nathan would show up somehow. I found it rather interesting when he looked in the mirror at the bar and saw himself all burned up. Could have been a hallucination, or something more...

Claire's stalker dude is rather creepy and has a flying ability just like Nathan. Maybe that dude is related to Nathan, making him related to Claire?

I think Hiro may turn out to be the "real" Kensei. The current one isn't very heroic heh.

I'm guessing Molly could perhaps be getting nightmares via the Mexican girl or simply from the person who is "worse" than Sylar. Mohinder and Parkman cared about Molly, not too surprised they decided to take care of her.

Also, wonder what happened to Peter, perhaps previously kidnapped by the folks that took out Hiro's dad. :eek:

EDIT: I feel like an idiot. All this time I thought the new season started just last week, and it wasn't until now that I realized that today is Monday the 27, thus Monday the 25 can't happen this month, and the season doesn't start until September.

Either way, that is the release date of Halo 3, so I will be missing out no matter what.

I thought her name was Eden... and yeah she ruined her brain before Sylar could eat it or something like that. His super voice comes from something else I think.

eve, was mohinder's neighbour? If it was her didn't she shoot herself in the head, could Sylar still take her power then?
On the other hand I've heard Sylar use the voice she got when she was persuading someone many times, but I just took it as a sign of power, you know the big bad wolf.

As I said, I can forgive it somewhat. I of course would want to make sure he's dead too. Remember the last time he died though? There was only the doctor, and it was after absorbing eve's power, so for all bennet knew the doctor was just being influenced by sylar's power of mind control.

And he still could be dead.

That I can forgive somewhat. He did have a sword through him, and didn't steal Claire's healing ability, so I don't think anyone expected him to be alive. And the question also is did he crawl away or did someone take him away. And really everyone else had someone they were concerned with. Bennet with Claire, Mohindar and molly with parkman, nikki with her husband.


oh c'mon! u just KNEW he wasnt dead. cause unless it is blatantly obvious they are dead (eg in bits) then they are still alive. He has been medically dead before, shot and he is still alive. he has killed MANY people and the full extent of his powers were unknown, so call me a crazy psycho but I'd want to make DAMN sure he was dead before i even turned my back on him

You know Kring better watch that. I think the willingness of people to allow for the suspension of belief is wearing thin. They'll accept the fantasy of the story of people having superpowers of course but to just place something in to conveniently move the plot forward can have a negative reaction.

A great example of this would be the recent season of 24 where jack bauer takes out a bad guy and steals his automatic rifle. Later he shoots another bad guy with the same automatic rifle. Now he's outnumbered and outgunned and only has the ammo in his current rifle, what should he do? Obviously take the ammo clip out of the newly killed guy's gun. Why didn't he take the ammo? So he could later run out and be force to surrender.

So if Kring wants to again pull something like Peter being unable to fly himself when going nuclear, he will need to have that explanation, not just "we needed nathan to sacrifice himself," because saying we're not supposed to think that won't work.

"Never underestimate your audience. They're generally sensitive, intelligent people who respond positively to quality entertainment."


i can forgive alot of things jack does simply because when he needs to rock he does, example, he rocked fayad so badly when he finally killed him. The neck break on the way in was awesome aswell.

As for heroes they aren't delivering anymore, hiro is the only one i watch it for currently, the sylar peter fights could be so much more :(

He could have just said Peter can only use one power at a time, or that he was concentrating so much on NOT blowing up he couldn't use any other power.
