Heroes Episode 13, "The Fix", which airs on January 29th, is a big one for Hiro fans and sci-fi geeks alike. The episode is heavily Hiro-centric as the peppy time jumper gets kidnapped by his dad, Mr. Kaito, played by Star Trek legend George Takai. Hiro finds himself staring down a tough as nails cult deprogrammer bent on eradicating those silly ideas Hiro has about being a super hero. Can Ando find him in time before Hiro resolves himself to an average-Joe existence?

Yeah I'd love to see some more flying. That was probably the greatest moment so far when Nathan flew.

I wanna see what that little boy's power is specifically

 

[Demigod00]

Hopefully he finds the sword, though im a bit confused as to what he will actually do with it once he has it.

 

[Triadkd]

^It's like spider man 2. Hiro is having trouble using his powers because he is doubting himself. It's all in his head. Once he get's the sword, in his mind he will be a true hiro again, and he will regain the use of his powers. The sword is like a placebo.

 

[Kebab gud]

lol

sound like an episode that will make ando shine..

 

[Lurk]

I wanna see what that little boy's power is specifically

In an interview it's explained that he is like R2D2, he can communicate with any machine. I don't remember which interview.

 

[Avalanche]

But he was able to 'fix' the phone too, so he can do more than just communicate.

Yes. ("He's like R2D2," Fuller said)[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]

Communicate as in interface. R2 doesn't climb into the guts of a ship like Chewy, he communicates/interfaces with it from the outside (unless of course it's something he can use his swiss army tools on).

he has a knack for machinery/technology. he made a broken payphone work. disassembled a laptop.

6 new clips from the next ep

...spoilers be warned

Cool clips!!!

Cool revelation about Peter's power, Claire's mom, HRG's intention with Sylar, and Claude.

But no clip with Hiro's dad.

 

[AssMan]

So basically if Peter comes into contact with to many people with abilities at one time & he can not handle it then boom

 

[-Æ-]

I hope not, hoping its a little bit more complex than that.

 

[-Æ-]

Peters condition is exactly what ive been saying from the beginning and that clip with Nathan and Suresh just proves it even more.

When he came in contact with Sylar that worsen his condition, since Sylars powers are stolen, the abilities he contains are not stable enough, thus causing the coma we saw peter in.
