Is it me, or does this series have unlimited potential? I love the premise, it plays on our own personal archetypes - just brilliant! ---

Heroes is what makes Mondays bearable. I truly don’t even have a guess as to who Claire’s “Bio-Dad” is, as I keep arguing it with myself. I’ll be glued to the TV tonight. My current front-runner though is Nathan, as it was my first instinct. As long as they don’t pull the South Park-esque twist on us… . . “Claire’s dad is. . . .CLAIRE’S MOM!” 😛 ---

Claude’s quite the Buddhist master, isn’t he, all that talk of ‘attachments’. And _how_ long has be had powers? 15 years? Why is that time frame significant??? ---

No one was watching Niki? I don’t buy that at all - unless much time passed than it seemed. ---

Looks like Peter is like Sylar but he doesn’t have to kill the other person for it ---

I just turned from 24. I caught the most important part. Too bad the SDMB figured it out ahead of time. Claires Real Dad That is. ---

[QUOTE=Annie] Well, so much for the Peter/Claire 'ship. [/QUOTE] I’ll believe it when I see blood tests. This is classic misdirection, setting up the revelation of the identity of Claire’s _real_ father in season 3. Interesting development in Niki’s story (I can’t believe I just typed that). Niki’s pounding on the mirror and the mirror is moving. Although, considering Takei’s presence, Jessica should’ve been sporting a goatee. ---
