Hey, if you look at www.nbc.com/Heroes there is a Conan O'Brien clip.

It looks like Zack got the manatee idea from Conan O'Brien. I guess he's not gay, he just has a sexually fetish about manatees. He really is a freak!!

I'm actually very well-adjusted. Hey woman, just because I'm not in love with every episode doesn't mean I don't like the show. I just stated my opinion. It's still a fun show and I enjoy speculating about it.

Fixed

Thanks, Spoons And I'm just messin' with ya Phoney, no hard feelings.

I finally saw this episode last night.

WOW!!! This show just gets better and better!

And I was shocked to find out who kidnapped Hiro and his buddy!! Dang, I thought it would be linderman for sure!

Maybe Hiro's dad IS Linderman. Remember, Linderman had an oriental henchwoman called Nakamura.

But then again, maybe not. But George Takei was spooky and imposing even without saying a single line.

And now all we know how to say "gulp" in japanese!

What was with Mohinder this episode? The pink shirt? The girly scarf?

 

[Mysterio]

Iv got it. Linderman runs the company HRG works for.

of course he does. how do you think HRG just waltzed into a secure suite in Linderman's casino and kidnapped the one guy that Linderman is very interested in?

Did anybody notice that Claude called Peter an empath? Most science fiction stories use that term to mean somebody who can "read" and/or influence other people's emotions. So does "Heroes" have its own definition, or does Peter have another ability?

empath as in empathy.

em·pa·thy /ˈɛm

pə

θi/ [em-puh-thee] –noun 1.the intellectual identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another.
In this case, their abilities.

Is there any information that's been provided in the comics and not in the show that is crucial to understanding the story?

yes.

....sometimes...?

 

[3 Dev Adam]

Not really, it just adds more backstory.

I haven't read a single one of the online comics yet, and I'm understanding things just fine.

I did. They add more nuances, but the entire story is told on the episodes.
