"the Haitian" knows for some reason that Claire ought to remember stuff. Perhaps now Claire will be a more interesting character (and she looked hotter for some reason I can't fathom).

I also worry about too many Heroes, but the show is doing well so far with Hero management, 2 heroes died before the break, and we are getting introduced to two more so far this time around.

Why shouldn't the Haitian know that Claire remembers stuff? He told her he wasn't going to erase her memory, then he said that she had to keep it a secret from her father. He also wants to use his powers to save the world, he knows they need Claire, and therefore wouldn't want her to forget everything that happened to her.

I loved that episode, I was hoping Hiro would go back in time to get the sword, I think stealing it from Linderman is kind of lame in comparison, but it might open an interesting plot sideline, because he isn't going to be too happy when he realizes his sword has been stolen, it's also fairly obvious he's going to have powers also, and that he's going to be the "Lex Luthor" of the series, rich, socially powerful, political, and powers... hmm maybe more the kingpin in that respect, although kingpin didn't exactly have powers, his strength was gained in the natural way whatever you get my point.

The Nikki storyline, while still fairly boring, got a little more interesting in that Nikki can use her powers without being Jessica.

Wifi girl as she's being called would be interesting when teamed up Nikki's son.

Anyway, the episode also opened up a lot of new questions, but I'm hoping for the best.

I liked Claire better with Curlier hair. I can't believe how many holes suddenly sprang up in this episode. It makes me think there was suppose to be an episode that went before this one but I know there isn't.

Since Peter is invisible he won't be able to leave town and then he'll absorb Radioactive Mans powers and Level New York. I'm glad I already kicked them out of the union. Those Fast Food Nazis.

Edit: The Nikki Storyline needs to die. In fact she could just die. Any storyline that gets to far away from Hiro or Claire's Dad needs to die.

Linderman is going to end up being a Lex Luthor / Kingpin style supervillian, right?

Ceric · « **Reply #79 on:** January 25, 2007, 11:01:02 AM »

I think he should be the villain you never see but people always talk about.

MaryJane · « **Reply #80 on:** January 26, 2007, 10:25:06 AM »

I've never liked that.

I hated never seeing "The Hand" in Inspector Gadget, but at least you saw his hand, and cat, and heard his voice.

Although this show has surprised me many times over in implementing things I didn't think I would like (like the entire show itself).

Shyguy: it would seem so, without actually appearing on the show he's been a hinderance to the heroes a twice already that we know of.

I just thought that it's very likely that Claire's dad works for him, whoever her dad works for has to be very rich, and secretive, so i think it's either the government or Linderman. If it is Linderman though that doesn't bode to well for the heroes since he knows a lot about them already, and knows how to negate their powers, and the Haitian (although I classify him as hero) works for him, the black guy version of shadowcat owes him a favor, and there would just be a lot of bad things for them.

I alway pictured Inspector Gadget's Dr. Claw wearing a mask that looked like the CLAW symbol.

Because NBC was kind enough to offer episodes for free online, I have now watched every episode of this program. It isn't bad. Reminds me of Broken Saints, in parts.

Nah. They just need to make sure that, when we finally do see him, he's awesome. In other words, he should be played by Sir Ian McKellen.

I now wish I never looked at that picture. I always thought Dr. Claw would look alot more evil and dangerous in my imagination. Sir Ian McKellen indeed. what a disappointment.

You guys remember the Daredevil Movie? Where they made the Kingpin black but the gentleman playing the role did such a good job you didn't care? I want a villain of that prowless acting and character wise.

MaryJane · « **Reply #85 on:** January 27, 2007, 07:17:35 AM »

yeah michael clark duncan did a really good job fulfilling the role. it really is the actor and his embodiment of the character than how he looks or doesn't.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #86 on:** January 29, 2007, 06:23:48 PM »

Not much seemed to happen this episode, although I did like the appearance of Sulu!

JonLeung · « **Reply #87 on:** January 30, 2007, 01:53:09 AM »

Do we really need spoiler tags? Maybe there should be one in the title of the topic.

For some reason George Takei (is that his name?) wandered into my memory a minute or so before he appeared. o_0

Lots of parenthood in this one. Hiro found by his dad, Claire finding her real mom, D.L. trying to raise Mica, and Matt finding that he and his wife have a baby. Now I'm surprised that Mohinder was in this episode but he didn't have any flashbacks of his dad. I guess if you count that Nathan is taking Peter seriously the episode could also be seen as a real family-themed one. Kinda neat that it was likely written that way, and good that we can follow multiple storylines.

Claire's pyro-mom is making me fear the whole thing about too many "Heroes". Though Mohinder did say there were 36 on the list...so if Dr. Suresh did find them all, there will only be about that many (some have died before). But that still seems like too many; we're likely halfway there already.

Caliban · « **Reply #88 on:** January 30, 2007, 02:49:39 AM »

I can't wait to see what powers does Takei have that make him that much of a powerful man. I'm thinking that Takei is that same Samurai that found the special katana, maybe his power gives him longevity.

JonLeung · « **Reply #89 on:** January 30, 2007, 03:44:36 AM »

Maybe he doesn't have a superpower. Maybe he just wants to stop Hiro's foolishness. Or maybe after Hiro disappeared from Charlie's life some time ago, she tried to track him down, and maybe got a hold of Hiro's dad, which might have led him to start searching for him. His aggressive lackeys do make him out to be a powerful man, even if he doesn't wield a superpower.

Of course, if powers are genetic and/or hereditary as has been implied, maybe he does have something. I guess we'll see, hopefully not too soon, just because of my hesitations about too many superpowered people being introduced. This shouldn't be too much like X-Men (in terms of quantity)! And this certainly isn't Mutant X (in terms of quality, or lack thereof)!

The previews of the coming episodes make it look like Mr. Bennett's head may be blown up by Sylar. It could happen as soon as the next episode. That's a real shame.

MaryJane · « **Reply #90 on:** January 30, 2007, 05:54:36 AM »

This was a very family oriented episode but it was very good.

The thing I'm starting to realize about the fear of too many heroes, is that one a lot are likely dead, and they're aren't going to find them all in one season. And it likely will be like X-Men, there are a lot of mutants, but the story revolves around a few main characters with a supporting cast floating in and out of the storyline. That's what I would hope for anyway. Also there are likely to be heroes whose powers are somewhat worthless in the scheme of things. If you've ever seen the movie Sky High you'll know what I mean.

The Nicki storyline just got worse if that's even possible with the introduction of the psychiatrist, the only good thing would be if she worked for Linderman.

Hiro's dad; it would be pretty bad ass if he was the samurai from the past. It's likely he does have powers as the do seem to be hereditary, but then why didn't Nicki's dad have powers? Besides it being suggested he was either a pedophile or "just" physically abusive, he was a normal person.

I mostly wondered about the others that Invisible man trained. Imagine if he's Claire's dad, he was training her mom, one thing led to another, and bam we have Claire.

The spoiler tag was there for dramatic effect!

I wish they stop giving so much away in the commercials. Also the trivia that comes up on the website as you watch the show is pretty cool.

I think Claire's father is Claire's father...

This may have already been said as this is the first time I've dived into this thread.

If that is the case, Claire is screwed.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #94 on:** January 30, 2007, 10:00:07 AM »

I don't think Claire's father is evil, just a misguided control freak.

MaryJane · « **Reply #95 on:** January 30, 2007, 11:06:32 AM »

I actually began to wonder while watching the episode today if HRG (horned rimmed glasses , (Claire's dad) I heard it on G4, and I kind of like it) told the Haitian to NOT erase Claire's memory. It's likely the order to erase her memory along with that of Zach's and her little brothers (who won't be making an appearance because he's going to do the Terminator T.V show) likely came from the people he works for. Also when he looked at the chimes, he looked at them in a significant manner, like he knew what they meant, yet he took no action against it, instead he went to make sure Sylar(the guy who tried to kill his daughter) was dead.

Pale; the point wasn't brought up, but it could be true, that would just bring her adopted mom into question, she seems to have no idea of what's going on with anything, so it's also possible that HRG has had her memory periodically altered as well. She seems so unconcerned about a daughter that went through such a horrible thing as watching her supposed best friend die.

Oh, Claire is super hot.

Ceric · « **Reply #96 on:** January 31, 2007, 04:54:55 AM »

Claire was better with the curlier hair. To tell you the truth I wouldn't be to surprised if her Dad was her Biological Dad. On her A.Mother part it was already stated that her memory has been altered many many times.

MaryJane · « **Reply #97 on:** January 31, 2007, 02:14:52 PM »

oh i mustv'e missed that. but it makes perfect sense.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #98 on:** January 31, 2007, 06:04:40 PM »

My question is why is the Hatian scared of HRG - Claire's Dad? Do you think he has a power too?
Cause if he does, I think he was just forced into a position to show us what it is.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #99 on:** January 31, 2007, 06:37:46 PM »

I thought he had a power to negate other people's powers, and showing the Haitian in the background was just a mislead.
