[phoenixflight]

Change of Date:

First episode for the 2nd half of the first season will air on:

January 22, 2007 (USA)

 

[Fanticon]

So...now that NBC has its hit show...the ratings are strong...does anyone think that when it returns on January 22nd, after a show of re-runs...the episode will have its highest ratings on that night? I think so.

and whats that new tagline? "Are you one of us" or something?

I agree. And the tagline for the second half of Season 1 is:

Are You On The List?
​

I guess the search for more Heroes begins. Christopher Eccleston (the "Ninth Doctor Who") joins the cast as Claude, a man with the power of invisibility. WICKED!!

Peter was told by Hiro from the future to, ahem, "Save the cheerleader, save the world."

Who is this bald balck guy that keeps showing up everywhere?

He is the assistant of Mr. Bennet, who has the ability to block/cancel other peoples' powers.

What the hell does those two asians guiys have to do with any of this?

The chubbier one, Hiro, has the ability to bend time and space. His friend, Ando, is just along for the ride.

And how the hell did they get their powers?

Apparently, through a genetic mutation that evolved them, so to speak. I think...

 

[Halcohol]

He is the assistant of Mr. Bennet, who has the ability to block/cancel other peoples' powers.

He can also erase people's memories.

ya, if you haven’t followed it from the beginning, I can see where it would all be very confusing, I myself having watched every episode,and still barely know what’s going on yet lol

Why the hell is everybody looking for this cheerleader chick?

her name is Claire , she is the adopted daughter of Mr. Bennett (the mysterious man in the glasses) (who works for some type of agency thats been dealing with the "heroes" for years, tracking down those with powers to study them or something)
she has the power to regenerate, and heal her self from (so far) almost any injury, Sylar, was after her to take her powers, peter tried to save her, based on a message that he got from the future, to "Save the Cheerleader. Save the World.", he was lead to her by a painting of the future (done by Isaac) we still don't know the importance of saving her.

Who is this bald black guy that keeps showing up everywhere?

he's the Haitian, who works with Mr. Bennett, he seem to have the power to surprises, other powers and ability’s, as well as,he has the ability to erase peoples memory, not much else is known about him, though, he is supposedly a mute, [BLACKOUT] yet he talk to Claire at the end of the last episode[/BLACKOUT]

What the hell does those two asians guys have to do with any of this?

the two Asian guys , Hiro and Ando, came to Americana, to find Isaac (who can see into the future, and paint it (until recently only when high on drugs), Isaac draw a comic, that was about Hiro. Hiro, has the power to bend time and space in a way, he can travel through time 9(but hasn't learn how to fully control it yet)(he is also the one who came from the future to give peter the message about the cheerleader) he can also stop time, (which he has better control of) he found the comic after teleporting to New York (form Japan) not knowing he also went in to the future, that is where he found Isaac dead, and saw New York blowing up (he was able to travel back to where he was, just before being caught in the explosion), his friend Ando, just came with him to Americana, basically do to the fact that he speaks better English, and can drive, he has no powers. But, was in the comic that Hiro got from the future which is also why he came along

And how the hell did they get their powers?

it was supposedly, an evolutional thing, that they develop in to, there are people like them all over the world, who have different powers, professor Suresh from Indian, was studying this, and wrote a book about it, until he died, at which point his son Mohinder took up where he left off (after some soul searching, on what he should), he discovered that his father cracked the geneo code to track down all of those with powers

....I' ve tried to read up, and I’m still lost. Someone give me a quick run down..please!

I don't know if any of that helped

edit: looks like others beat me to answering, ohh, well

 

[Mysterio]

maybe we should put together a Heroes FAQ and/or quick character guide and/or story synopsis and make it a sticky for the top of the board.

I suggest you download the episode called Six Months Ago as well as the first episode, Genesis. they're available through iTunes. that should answer most of your questions and give you an idea what's going on.

 

[Exploding Boy]

or just go here and watch the episodes http://www.nbc.com/Video/rewind/full_episodes/heroes.shtml

 

[Golgo-13]

Thanks guys, appreciate it!

Probably wouldn't be a bad idea. Lots of people are coming onboard late, and even if they're catching up currently, a lot of quickie questions could be answered there. What would it include besides which hero has which power? FAQs, like 'Who is that Haitian dude?!?' and similar? Character's locations might be helpful, since they're converging from all over the country (world if you include Hiro and Ando), but are all somehow connected by the bomb in NY and probably Linderman.

 

[Joe Rockhead]

Is there a reason for a next episode thread over a month before the next episode is scheduled to air?

 

[PLAS]

no, there isn't, somebody change the name to "oooh, I can't wait for the "Godsend" episode"

 

[Eddie Brock]

not a bad idea, any mods approve of this?

 

[CAH]

I think this is the first time I've posted on this shows forum, but DAMN do I lvoe this show!

Peter Petrelli is probably my favorite character, because he can use other peoples powers when he is near them.

Sylar is my 2nd fav., only because he is a kick@$$ villain.

But I am really hoping that "Godsend" is a great episode...I just can't wait for the season finale! I wonder what twists and turns they'll throw at us then?!

But that's probably not until March at least, so we'll talk more on that later!

December eleven?

Heroes Winter Preview - Peter's Kung Fu Moment
December 18, 2006
http://www.buddytv.com/articles/heroes/more/heroes-winter-preview-peters-k-2673.aspx

January 22nd is the big day for Heroes AND Dr. Who fans alike as Christopher Eccleston joins the cast as Claude, a new hero with the power of invisibility. What separates Claude from the rest of the heroes is his powers are nothing new so he has grown into them and learned to cope with his difference. Claude will bump into an emotionally and physically awry Peter whose power is undergoing a strange metamorphosis after rubbing up against mega-baddie Sylar. At first, Claude won't want anything to do with Peter, ultimately he will become Peter's super-power sensei - taking the lad under his wing and teaching him to both control, and live with his new found power.

nothing new...nonetheless, the suspense is killing me

 

[Mysterio]

"Peter whose power is undergoing a strange metamorphosis after rubbing up against mega-baddie Sylar."

i'd say that's pretty new.

true
but the actual story about Claude has been around since before Fallout, i think

 

[PowersOfMind]

I wonder what kind of metamorphosis they mean. Hopefully a good or. Can Peter asorb parts of a person's personality? Or has he made himself a target for Sylar?

i think he is becoming more psychically connected with the people
thus why he was sick..he was still linked with Sylar
