To any of you guys who like this show, and have Showtime... check out Dexter. If you have Time Warner on demand... I think you can watch from the beginning.

It's not really anything like Heroes, but I think you'd dig it. It's a lot darker.

Big Dexter Fan here the only complaint really is that the show moves at a slow awkward pace.

I have been wondering that myself. I know that I will end up taping Heroes to watch 24 the rest of the year.

They are putting Heroes on at the same time as 24? Fuking asswipe network execs. Theres so little worth watching on TV and then they put the shows on at the same time? Oh well the DVR is a mighty handy appliance.

It is obvious that 24 won out considering this thread did not get bumped. Well, until now.

That, and the fact that it's completely and utterly predictable.

I don't think I've watched a single show in it's actual time slot since I got a DVR...

And also it seems that Isaac can only paint the future of the other "Heros", so who was in the suicide bombing. The rest of them had some connection to some "hero" didnt they?

Also only reason Sylar could kill the Persuader and not Claires dad was because the Haitan wasnt there to block out his powers right?

1. Sylar's main power is described as 'intuitive aptitude'. He knows how everything works. That one power has led to him being able to mutate his own DNA to take on more powers.

2. Sylar doesn't have Eden's power of persuasion. She shot herself in the head so he couldn't use her brain. He does have Charlie's super memory though, which might prevent the Haitian's memory-erasing from working.

3. Last night's ep seemed to suggest that Peter's the bomber, as a result of not being able to control new powers he had just come in contact with. It's possible that those are Ted Sprague's powers. Also, Peter is an empath, so there's a chance it's not even him in the vision he's having.

1) yep

2) yep

3) They've been suggesting Peter was the bomber all along, and they've also been suggesting that it occurs because he absorbed Ted Sprague's power. About the only thing that was really "new" was the whole "I can't control it" thing...

His sickness seems to stem from him being exposed to too many powers in a short period of time. He's been the most active Hero, in terms of interacting with all the other Heroes. He's met basically everybody, with the exception of Nikki/DL/Micah.
