Yeah, I assumed when it showed her she was te crazy, jealous ex-girlfriend, and that she would do something that resulted in everyone at the party finding out about her powers (like pushing her into the fire, or something.)
Oh, and I forgot to say that she looked like she was trying to talk to QB, so I immediately thought that they weren’t going out. I think that’s my super power: the ability to tell whether or not a girl is single.
Thank you! I posited that on the last episode thread, and nobody said anything about it. Glad it seems to be a popular theory. Hehehe…
I loved this episode, and while I hope like hell they don’t whack Hiro, I wouldn’t be surprised.
Has anyone else thought of the importance of the fact of Hiro’s Comic Book? It shows he can bring things back from the future.
Well, yeah, but we already knew he could move objects through time, otherwise he would’ve appeared in Times Square nekkid.
Except he can go back in time months to prevent something from happening. Occupy him, stun him, knock him unconcious, block his powers, it makes no difference. He literally has all the time in the world to fix things. The only way to stop his powers from being the deus ex machina that makes you wonder why anything bad happens is to kill him so he’s dead.
“That’s bizarre.”
“What is?”
“That naked man screaming in Japanese.”
“Not for Time square it ain’t.”
Re Hiro’s Death
What if his powers are permanently neutralized? What if a villain has the same powers? Remember that scene in Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey? “I too can play the time game. If you do that, then after I have defeated you I will just arrange for a key and another gun.” What if Hiro discovers a reason he can’t use his powers anymore (damage to the fabric of time and space etc)? Or (and this most easily follows from what we’ve seen) what if Hiro never learns fine control of his powers? Instead of just going to NYC, he ends up in NYC five weeks in the future. Trying to get away from the explosion, he ends up five weeks ago. He stopped time to save the girl under extreme stress and may not be able to just repeat that at will.
Ah, those were the days. Goddamn Giuliani!
And I really wish y’all would stop planning poor Hiro’s death already.
Wasn’t he guy that the cop was staring at the gangbanger missing husband?
Well, that’s a theory. No one knows for certain yet.
That’s the obvious answer. I’m still not sure what level the writer’s are going for. Is it too obvious an answer and thus wrong?
Er, I mean… :mad: You are so on my list.
Okay, I said I like him. I didn’t say he isn’t ditzy. Between him and Hiro, I don’t which one watches too much TV. “I can fly, I can fly!” “I can bend time & space!”
Yeah, if there’s anything at all suspicious about the death, they probably don’t need familial consent. But it seems they wouldn’t conduct the autopsy so soon without having identified her and notified her parents, and Evil Dad would never allow an autopsy. Not that he could legally stop them, just that he’s probably got connections with whatever evil government agency he works for.
Did anybody else think that the accident wouldn’t have happened if Hiro hadn’t told his buddy to stop the truck? His buddy ran out, the truck swerved to avoid him, and that’s what put it on track to hit the girl with the red bow.
Or am I totally mistaken??
Dad would probably insist on an autopsy, performed by government spook coroners in a facility they can control.
This gets back to what I said before- did they remove the stick last because of sloppy writing? Or did dad purposely have it done last as part of a test of her regenerative abilities? He may even have seen this as an opportunity to harvest organs and tissue for transplant to see if her ability is granted to the recipients.
No, I think you’re right. I actually was thinking the same thing at the time I was watching it - one of those prophecies that comes true because it has been made. Then it slipped my mind afterwards. I need to start taking notes or something.
I had exactly the same impression. Hiro’s attempt to save the girl created the accident in the first place.
So Hiro caused what he set out to prevent. :eek:
Whoa. But now my head hurts.
Just some random thoughts.
And what’s with Simone?? (Artist’s girlfriend) Of all the guys in NYC she just happens to end up romantically involved with two super dudes. I don’t get the farewell scene with Murse in her father’s building and then them being together that night at his brother’s fund raiser.
I have the whereabouts of Niki (Las Vegas) and the NYC characters, but where are Cheerleader and Telepa Cop?
What is needed is an “old timer” with wisdom and advice for all the young newbies.
Who exactly are they to protect the world from? Obviously not Sylar.
It has certain similarities to the 4400 series with all the different powers spread out all over the country.
Thinking about time travel is always going to make your head hurt.
Here’s a couple possible limits to Hiro’s abilities:
The distance he teleports correlates to how far in the future he ends up. A Tokyo-New York jump lands you five weeks in the future. A barstool-ladies’ room jump doesn’t send you too far into the future. Just long enough for your buddy to have bought the next round.
Hiro can always jump back to his starting point in time & space, but that’s it.
Has hasn’t shown much ability to go backwards, except for making a clock tick back one second.
We’re assuming he could infinitely jump back in time and fix things, but can he? In Ground Hog Day Bill Murray could replay a single day an infinite number of times 'til he got everything right. But maybe Hiro can only fix things within certain distances as well, if he wants to play with time.
The cheerleader is in Odessa, Texas. Isn’t that where Friday Night Lights is set as well? I smell a crossover!
I believe Telepacop is in Los Angeles. Weren’t they in the FBI’s L.A. field branch?
It’s an interesting chain of thought. The event only happened because Hiro had the comic drawn by Isaac. Isaac drew that comic in a different timeline, one where the world is destroyed, but since the comic has Hiro witnessing and escaping said destruction, the world was not meant to end at that point anyway. (So is Hiro actually changing the future, or simply following it the way it was meant to be anyway?)
The realization of the Comic Book prophecy really depended on two things: 1) That Isaac actually drew it, and 2) That Hiro would pick it up and read it. So if it only came true because Isaac drew it in the first place, does that mean he’s predicting the future or creating it? What if Hiro hadn’t picked it up? Would events have unfolded on their own?
