I'm glad Vic started a "Heroes" thread before I did, because I was afraid that I was the only one on the boards who watches this show.
This show has to be one of NBC's greatest! Finally, they're back on top with programs that'll have people tuning in every week, like they do with ABC &
Lost and The CW &
Smallville.
It's like one big comic book series being told in real-life format. I know the hero who has become everyone's favorite is Hiro, but I'm enjoying Hayden Panettiere's character (Claire the tissue-regenerating cheerleader) and Ali Larter's (Niki the woman with the wicked alter-ego). Those two remind me so much of Wolverine and the Hulk (Niki's more of Venom than Hulk, just from the way she said "
our son" when threatening that guy in Vegas).
Barry Lee said:
I think Sylar is the cheerleader's father. The bald black man I think is the husband of Niki.
I really like that theory about the dude that looks like Mos Def being Ali Larter's character's husband, because it could be one of the biggest plot twists for the series.
And I notice someone mentioned how Peter Petrelli's ability can enable him to absorb other powers. That could be possible (not because his eyes were glazed over like Issac's in next week's episode--Claire's were the same way, during the time she had that big stick in her head), considering how Peter was the only one that didn't freeze when the future version of Hiro arrived in that subway train.
I can't wait to see what happens next week.
