Well that's how the mix up took place with him and "Nuke" right? They thought he was Silar. Plus didn't he leave a lot of burn marks in a house?

maybe, I don't know, i just didn't remeber anything about him burning things

HRG. When are we going to learn his name? Dude has an alternate motive.......trust me! Did you hear the music when he comes in the room?! Its bad guy music!
Seriously, how did he found out about the paintings and what does the black guy with him do? Why doesn't dude talk? And I'm starting to wonder does HRG have any powers as well.

 

[Darren Daring]

That wasn't his sister.

Most of that has been revealed already... Watch the show.

HRG was played up so heavily to be a bad guy that there is no chance he is that simple. He may not be the Heroes' greatest ally - but he is not the face of evil.

 

[Docker2.0]

I have! But it comes on at the same time as Monday night Raw so I've got to flip back and forth and miss somethings occassionally. Monday nights are tough for me.

 

[SouLeSS]

So the little indian kid is Syler. Good to know.

Time out, HRG?

I think Bennett might either be one of them, or he has a sort of "Lex Luthor" mentality...he is trying to save the world, either from the "mutants" so he seeks to understand them so as to beat them, or with thier help (hence hsi little helper(s) (since I'm convinced Eden has powers too) to do good...But I am really thinking he's not evil so much as a ruthless, stop-at-nothing, regardless of the costs, good guy.

 

[AnimeJune]

Okay, I'm one of those folks who's pretty sure that Mohinder's sister has dream powers - I think that's her in the dreams.

Um, I like Isaac all clean-shaven and all, but the short-haired girl seems to have some sort of mind-control, persuation powers, so that's pretty cool.

And, even though I've only seen 50 minutes of this episode so far, allow me to nominate:

Mr Bennett

For Father of the Year!​

Sorry - that's the best picture of him I could find. This episode was AWESOME. Can't wait for the next one!​

 

[Exploding Boy]

Next weeks episode isint the last one is it?

 

[sc12een17am3]

interesting episode, not a lot of action but still kept my interesting. things seem to start to unfold at the same time opening up new ones...

Hiro gets it and finally stops telling EVERYONE that he has powers... lol if he did, Sylar would prob know that he has powers and would of tried to kill him b4 he killed the diner girl

new character, super computer like Sage, gets her brain sucked out. ::Frown:: but with Hiro trying to fix things right, i wonder how much this is going to change the time rift. hopefuly Hiro would be able to get some by saving her haha according to that picture at the end, i bet he did lol

Mr. Bennet seems to be more of a "good" guy in each episode, but then he does something and makes him seem like a "bad" guy again... ::sheesh: he needs to pick a side LOL im getting some sort of Hanso Foundation type feel from Mr. Bennet. i wonder who he or what organization he really works for or started...

so Mr. Bennet's girl assistant has the power to influence? if so that's a great team Mr. Bennet has... able to erase memories and influence people...

and i was really hoping Iaasac would finally going to learn how to use his powers without drugs he should do some sort of D.A.R.E. type commercial lol

and the folder of the boy in Mohinder's dream says "Iyer" not Syler? either he changed one letter of his name to something else, or this is some new character in the Heroes twist

 

[Exploding Boy]

I bet computer brain girl is what helps Hiro learn english so well in the future

 

[Fanticon]

Should we still trust H.R.G?....his methods are unorthadox...but I like him now.
My prediction is that both he and Mohinder will lead separate teams of heroes once all is said and done and this season comes to a conclusion. Not rivalries...because they'll need like...a red team and blue team...like Avengers and West Coast Avengers...X-men and Uncanny X-men for example.
This was a great episode...suspenseful, informative...and one hell of an ending. Its crafty, moody...and very stylish. Best show on TV hands down!

 

[Superman79]

EDIT: In regards to Brainy and Hiro

^ could be...

question...Peter P's power is "taking on the powers of those around him" right? or am I the only one seeing this/missing something?

As for Bennett...I still say he's a good guy...just a ruthless one...think Dubya

thats kinda what i was thinking. mayone one team of those who have that RNA logo and the other with the 2 lines

Looks like Hiro went back a bit too far. The chick said her birthday was 6 months ago, and that was him at her party. Oops.....I hope he gets a handle on his teleporting power soon.

 

[Fenryr]

HEY WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO HIRO'S COMiC BOOK!?!

Did he run out of pages?

Hiro's comic ended with him and Ando driving to Las Vegas. Everything after that's been up for grabs. Although, I'd like to know why he hasn't sought after any more issues. Even if they're not from the future, they could potentially be about other Powers.

And thank GOD this was a Niki-free episode. I know it's not a very popular opinion, but her storyline bores the crap outta me. She's shaping up to be a villain, despite acting scared and innocent about "Jessica".

Since my DVR crapped out 5 F***ING minutes from the end, I missed a couple key points, as well as the preview. Guess I'll have to wait until Friday and watch the rerun on Sci-Fi.

I've got a few more theories, but I'll reserve judgement for a while.

 

[symbioticspaz]

Where did all the Nikki hate come from. I'm not saying she's the best character, but damn. I guess people do hate attractive women.

 

[Fenryr]

Out of all the characters in the show, she and Claire are the worst by far.

Claire videotapes trying to kill herself, and then tries to pretend that she's normal. If you're trying to be a "normal" teenager, recording evidence that you're anything but normal, and then skulking about it, are two strides in the opposite direction. It almost renders everything Bennet is doing null and void, besides the fact that he's having her killed, because you know she'd just mope around and be ungrateful anyways.

I really don't see why everyone is so hot for Ali Larter. Seriously. The scrappy blonde look just doesn't do it for me. Add to that, she's obviously not conflicted about screwing other people over, whether she's in control or "Jessica" is, and is as self-absorbed and self-destructive as Claire. It makes her nigh impossible to root for, and I strongly believe that unless there's some unforseen turnaround at the fifteenth episode (or so), she's going to be a villain. DL on the other hand, who she is quick to demonize, has been nothing but a sympathetic character.

What with more Powers showing up, Micah being a technopath, the waitress being a cipher/walking Rosetta Stone, and Eden, who, regardless of being good or evil, is gorgeous, being an empath (of sorts), Claire and Niki are becoming less and less likeable, as we're meeting more and more people who are.

 

[symbioticspaz]

Ok, so what you're saying is that people being real sucks? Ok, gotcha. I hate it when a tv show tries to make the characters believable. You know, cuz teenagers are always the happiest people on the face of the planet. If they find something awkward about them, they tell everyone. Yeah, I totally see your point.

Nikki did what she did to get by. Jessica is the one that took over for the affair. Nikki's conscience kicked in and said that she couldn't do it. Her husband was in jail, but she was still going to be loyal. Jessica is the free spirit that only cares about what she wants.

But nevermind, I hate it when a good solid show tries to bring the viewer into it by association.
