Electricity, it was indeed a new power, unlike Ted's abilities last season.

I know nothing, spoiler-wise about Peter, so I only have speculation: Someone used him. Mind control, hypnosis, illusions, or something, somehow, he was discovered by a evolved human, and that person used him for his or her benefit. Odds are, because of the necklace, it's one of the eight or nine people that Kaito Nakamura mentioned (Hiro's Dad). Of course, it wouldn't be Peter's mother, either, and I don't think it'll end up being volume 2's major villain, or else he wouldn't have been "let go." That's my guess.

Yeah the people who found him were hired to. I like the fact that leader is a "nice guy" he didn't want the cop to die, or even get sick, told the other guy to make sure he stays dry.

I'm also against the theory that Hiro is actually the hero he read about, rather he's going to help that guy, and along the way further develop his own skills. My main reason for thinking this is that the guy is supposed to marry the swordsmith's daughter, if Hiro did that he'd have to stay in that time period, which obviously isn't going to happen.

I think he's going to do some of the stuff that Kensei supposedly did, but then he's going to realize that that's a mistake. I figure he's so adamant that specific things happen, he's going to jump straight into them.

Interestingly enough, Hiro is the only character who isn't four months older when we last saw him. I just realized that. There's an episode coming up called "Four Months Ago." Might he travel back to from the past to four months ago?

The whole hiro stuff is just boring.

The rest is interesting, However I know they will leave a lot of questions, do a mediocre finale like last season in which they will solve them in stupid ways or will leave them open, but the show is full of beautiful people so I'll keep watching.

And I finally get the people who complain about the spoken japanese, because that spanish was so weird! at least they are making the effort, which is nice.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #29 on:** September 26, 2007, 04:09:00 PM »

Lol, I don't speak any other languages, and their English sounds fine to me.

I do agree, Hiro needs to actually do something. For once, his journey seems to the one that's pretty stagnant.

Keep in mind that this season will be two volumes. Essentially, they plan to cover two big stories this time. So, I suppose that means we get two finales. Maybe that'll boost what people think.

Kind of a meh opener. Mohinder's new friend with the Midas touch was interesting, Claire is angsty (BTW, is it just me or did the new flying boy look like Infernal Monkey?) HRG is still a bad mofo, Parkman and the freaky little girl were likeable, Nathan is stuck in drunken cliche, Glad to see that the supporting characters like Ando and Mr. Muggles are back, Sad to see Sulu die, and Peter is stuck in an amnesia cliche.The South Americans are the new Wonder Twins?

The only thing I noticed wrong with the spoken Japanese was that Hiro and the english dude understood each other perfectly although the english should have been using archaic Japanese. Although they did use different words for "my" or "I" when they were claiming the sword as their own, but still.

What else was wrong? Or has been wrong? And what was weird about the Spanish, I didn't notice anything there either.

I already erased the episode so I can't point out the specifics, but it is obvious the translation into spanish isn't 100% correct. Gramatically is fine but some things are literally translated and while the make sense in english in spanish they sound odd. The accent is also not very "hondureño", but I've certainly heard worst in other shows. Spanish is more accesible and mainstream, so I assume the japanese sounds even more innacurate, with my very basic japanese knowledge I can still recognize they are not native speakers or close to it. But as I said, they get points just by making the effort, few series do that at all.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #33 on:** October 02, 2007, 07:14:49 AM »

What, no new episode discussion? This doesn't bode well for season 2.

Hiro's story remains boring, and I hope the South American Wonder Twins die soon.

Ma Petreli was decent, Claire's story gets more interesting and it was nice to see the Haitian again as they're "getting the band back together."

that Baby guy · « **Reply #34 on:** October 02, 2007, 12:41:38 PM »

I like everything about the new season except for West. I love the mystery behind the virus, the fact that Claire really is looking to use her abilities for good, the possibility that Kensei is immortal, and perhaps even around in the present, the Mohinder stuff, the quick and quiet attacks on the older "heroes."

Fun fact: Bob is an alchemist-type hero, he's not limited to the Midas Touch type thing. I could say more about him, but those are spoilers, and I don't want to ruin anything.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #35 on:** October 02, 2007, 07:31:10 PM »

I knew that Hiro was gonna be the Hero that his father had told stories of, but now I wonder if he will continue to be the Hero or will they share the role depending on the task at hand.

The Angel of Death and Sins Forgiven twinz needs to go somewhere quickly or just get lost.

The Ma Patrelli attack scene had to be on of the lamest low budget scenes I would have never expected to see from such a ratings dominant special effects heavy show.

Its really good to see the Haitian back and its also relieving that we aren't gonna have a whole season of Peter trying to figure out who he is and living an alternate life till he does in the meantime storyline(or are we?).

My recording cut off right when Claire found the book in the drive way, so I have no idea what happened at the end of the episode, but I assume that where you see the peeping tom fly away like in the previews from last week. So if anyone cares to fill me in on what happened that would be appreciated.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #36 on:** October 02, 2007, 07:54:45 PM »

Nothing, she just stares around and mr. muggles barks at the sky as the camera pulls back.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #37 on:** October 02, 2007, 08:12:09 PM »

So you don't even see him fly away? thats weird. Now I have to go watch next weeks preview/spoiler.

edit: where is the link to the previews for next weeks episodes on nbc.com?

mantidor · « **Reply #38 on:** October 03, 2007, 02:57:23 PM »

I think hope the twins are related to the virus in a big way.

MaryJane · « **Reply #39 on:** October 03, 2007, 06:35:59 PM »

This episode opened up so much I was kind of pissed when it ended, especially with how it ended. Claire should have seen him fly away, but I bet next episode he tells her anyway so i suppose it doesn't matter much, but I wouldn't be surprised if he workied for the company.

Yeah the tewins better be related to the virus or they're pretty much useless. Although the guy twins powers could prove extremely useful if he can absorb death, or nullify any power.

I want to see the freaking boogie man already.

Edit: Weird as hell but I had 3 dreams last night, and in one of them that part in Heroes where the healer told the girl twin that what she carried inside of her was "enough to kill the devil". I didn't think of it during the dream, but afterwards it occured to me that she'll probably be the only one who can kill this boogie man we are still yet to see.

mantidor · « **Reply #40 on:** October 05, 2007, 04:55:37 AM »

I had a dream with mohinder and sylar abut I don't want to go into details.

Chuck... The Best thing on Monday. Hero has been a let down. Well except where Hiro is involved and the Peter portion has potential. Also this season has been a let down because last season they said we were starting with totally fresh set of heroes but they did the opposite and gave us the lame X-File Wonder Twins and last seasons cast. Unless the Rogue is a hero? First non-biological hero.

Shecky · « **Reply #42 on:** October 08, 2007, 03:19:57 PM »

Hiro's ark is proof that time manipulation is hard to work with sensibly, so they write it out of the present time

Even in fiction, time travel in the forward only direction is the only thing that seems workable to me.... slow it to a crawl, jump forward in leaps, but never backwards. That would make for a cool premise, IMO.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #43 on:** October 08, 2007, 03:24:56 PM »

Shecky! Long time no see.

I think after tonights episode, we have to wonder if Hiro has yet to be able to control the time aspect of his abilities. Did he choose to stay, or was he unable to leave, or could it be both?

As far as the picture of Mr. Bennet goes, I have a guess, but it could wind up being a huge spoiler: Claire is able to save him through her abilities. Maybe she donates a heart, a lung, a liver, an arm, or an eye is hard to say, but it could be what they're getting at.

Thanks...

I pretty sure he stayed because he likes the girl (after what she said, her reaction to the pink tree incident, and the follow up at the end there). If I were in his position, I'd be jumping back and forth in time to see exactly what I've screwed up or changed, cause he's really messing with it now.

That sword symbol is part of all of this though, so maybe he is the great antagonist... and Hiro's actions will actually work to try and turn him to good early??

As for the 8/8 picture... nice thought... kissing the boy goodbye b/c she's going to sacrifice... However, considering where he was shot, she'd have to be donating a brain, and not even she could pull that off

So who are the original 8?

And Sylar must of lost more than his power, that was a pretty stupid move to try that before healing completely and before getting a bit more intel about what was going on, etc.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #45 on:** October 08, 2007, 03:53:12 PM »

He's got the virus. He's lost his ability to use abilities, at least until he gets cured. And that's the moral dilemma: He killed the father of the only man that can save him.

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #46 on:** October 09, 2007, 02:38:36 AM »

Maybe he didn't steal Candice's power. I mean she could have created the whole thing. But then again.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #47 on:** October 09, 2007, 05:06:04 AM »

Sylar is an idiot, he kjnew he couldn't use his powers, and she told him that he would eventually get them back after he healed, so he should've waited until that moment before his big betrayal.

Does the virus only disable powers or does it kill the Heroes?

Yeah, but it almost seems like they wrote her off the show.... It's a different actress right (the whole "going for a new look" thing). I figured they may have hired her for a single episode.

mantidor · « **Reply #49 on:** October 09, 2007, 05:30:54 PM »

urgh it has to be all an illusion, it makes no sense she was concious and yet let sylar open her up that easily, she can show anything she wants and we know she has messed up people before, I hate mutants getting dumb in front of sylar for no good reason.
