[BLACKOUT]You can also see HRG is wounded on the head.[/BLACKOUT]

 

[PLAS]

maybe HRG beats Sylar into working for him, you know through the persuassive powers of his knuckles

wouldn't that be awesome?

Itd be pretty interesting for Zach's charecter if he lived in a trailer park, imo.

 

[IAmHe9]

After the revelation that HRG is face to face with a recovered Sylar last episode, I'm really interested about those knuckle and head wounds.

 

[SoulManX]

Unless HRG has some powers himself?

 

[gambitfire]

Or maybe The Haitian saves his A$$.

 

[The Apocalypse]

Who is the women in the first pic..I can't tell clearly.

 

[Abaddon]

Sylar's going to kill HRG's wife.

 

[Demon Within]

Notice the watch, silver on his left hand. Same watch as claires father for the preview.

 

[Maniacbob]

I dont recall reading anywhere that Hiro has a sister that oughta be interesting

Oh man that first picture must be Hana
Thats so awesome we finally get to see her on screen

 

[squeekness]

Still sounds like Issac is going to be dissed again, though they showed a shot of him in the preview. I guess we don't that silly painter anymore... Why do I always like the most neglected characters?

For the big pay off at the end.

Sylar would stop him if he shows this time. He seems more evil than ever. HRG couldn't beat Sylar unless he has others work for him.

Hana Gitelman

 

[GL1]

My prediction: Sylar will come for Claire, already run away, and get mom and Claire's brother instead... I'm not exactly sure how HRG will survive Sylar... perhaps Sylar won't even try to kill him, so that he can live through the loss of his family.

Does anyone else thing something called "Distractions" can't help but be a filler episode?

 

[Felix Fangor]

There was a reason why Sylar wanted to STAY in custody...maybe that's somehow related to him sparing HRG's life?

We'll know next week.

 

[squeekness]

What is that metal thing in the back of Sylar's head? It looks painful.....

 

[bulok]

Did the Haitian guy turn Zack straight or something?

 

[Abaddon]

He was supposed to come out in "Homecoming" but the actors reps squashed it.

So he's absent from a few episodes. It has to happen with a cast this large; they only have one hour a week to fit everything in. I figure he'll be around a lot towards the end of the season. There's the whole Isaac/Simone/Peter thing to deal with, not to mention his awesome paintings and their ramipercussions.

 

[Maniacbob]

I think Issac will become important again soon
The writers have been pretty good I dont think they'll just forget about him
Im thinking maybe the Haitian will run in and save Bennett but he gets taken out physically by Sylar but Sylar cant remove his brain because his power has been shut off so he runs off and decides to pick off Bennett's family in painful retribution
