Thought I would get this started… My DVR has been recording like a pixellated defendant at a televised trial. I hope it works right tonight… if I forget to watch live of course. ---

Hiro (the actor) was at the Rangers-Sabres hockey game yesterday. It was quite a coincidence that: a) The game was on NBC; 2) Heroes is on NBC; and 3) they decided to show him watching the game, while in a very offhand, beside the point manner mentioning that he plays Hiro on the NBC series “Heroes” airing on Monday nights. Lucky break for NBC there. ---

Truly the stars must be aligned properly for that to happen. :rolleyes: ---

Just a thought before the show starts. I think we may find out that the future has already been changed since Syler wasn’t able to scar Peter. ---

GAAH!! Why did I not see that coming? Especially after the painting Sylar was doing at the end of last episode, after he killed Isaac. :smack: :smack: :smack: ---

Whoa! _brain asplode_ I didn’t see that coming in the ep, but I guessed something of the sort after last week’s painting. ---

Quick prediction at 8:54 CDT: Mohimbo is gonna kill the Haitian so Hiro can escape. ---

Who will Kill Sylar? Is it possible that Sylar will kill hims self? Not A Suicide, A Murder, given the Chameleon (I don’t know her name) and a cocktail of other powers. But overall, what exactly do we ‘do’ with tonight’s episode? I hate trying to follow faces that look slightly different! UGH Seriously, I couldn’t Follow Mystic River, or The Departed, cause Im bad at telling faces apart. (I’m still confused as to who did what tonight.) ---

Among other things I don’t understand about tonight’s episode, why does Jessica/Nikki **not** want Peter to help Hiro? Micah died in New York and she’s not jumping at the chance to change that? ---

Whoa…what a mind-fuck. So if Peter causes the explosion, how does Hiro killing Sylar solve anything? ---

Wow, it was like the very worst issue of the X-Men ever. Total, complete, absolute disaster. It’s like the issue in which they “revealed” the Flash got his powers because a magic elf caused the lightning bolt. (mid-60s, sometime) Ever after, everybody tacitly agreed to forget that it ever happened. Which is the fate of this turkey. ---

I’m guessing that the girl in the next ep (Candice?) will have some sort of blocking or immobilizing power. Also, Sylar gains his powers from killing the others, but how exactly does Peter gain his? If he has been close enough to Linderman he may have healing powers as well. I sort of saw the thing with Sylar being Nathan coming. Mostly because I have been suspecting _everyone_ of being a shapeshifter ever since the episodes with Nikki and Claire’s mom being impersonated. Will the Haitian stay dead? Why does Peter have a scar if he can self heal? I could have done without all the 9/11 references, but this ep still kicked ass.
