New episode tonight

One Giant Leap
Claire attempts to live a normal social life when her romance with the football quarterback takes a tragic turn. Hiro convinces his friend that it's their destiny to travel to America to save the world. Niki's scared but follows instructions from a mysterious, unknown source that sends her to the middle of the desert.

Meanwhile, Nathan uses Peter's accident for his own politcal gain. The FBI and Matt are on Sylar's trail, as is Suresh, whose father's journal contains potential clues.

I'm not sure if I buy the idea that Peter can absorb others powers and keep them yet, but I'm open-minded to the idea. Seems to me that Claire may have been in the vicinity enough to make it work. But it could make sense... As I mentioned before, I think that they are setting things up so that Peter is the Neo to Sylar's Agent Smith.

But I have to wonder what happens when Peter gets around Nicki. Does he gain another personality and super strength? And if so, is that personality evil as well? I haven't quite figured out where the whole Nicki (and company) story line is going yet. With the others, you at least see a direction towards New York.

Also, I don't think we've seen the last of the abilities by a long shot. That picture of Hiro and the Dragon was wicked. Makes me think that perhaps shape shifting becomes a power. Any thoughts on that?

Looked like a T-rex to me.

It kinda looked like it was breathing fire or something... Or perhaps you're right, and Hiro teleports back too far or something...

This show is a mystery.

**Anyong Bluth** · 12-07-2006, 10:56 PM

Or its a throw off and He's in a museum in NY.... and they have a T-Rex?

Yep. I just hope it doesnt get as twisted as Lost. As it is right now, it rocks. I'm a big fan.

**KcMizzou** · 12-07-2006, 11:41 PM

Also (random thoughts here) Future-Hiro seems like a badass.

I wanna see what these guys are like when they fully understand and can control these powers.

Just my thoughts.

He is sick because claire left and he was not fullly healed then had the new vision of the future (thats my take..)... Thats cool if he can keep powers he obsorbed but that would make him too powerful...

Sylar does not absorb powers he steals them.. That is why he chops open their head so he can see how they tick and then does it to himself to improve him... agian my take on it...

The power fades away from him, that is why he was getting sick from the rest of the internal bleeding..

Of course they(writers) may not know either because they were not sure if the show would be a hit..

Peter cannot fly..
Peter cannot stop time..
Peter can see the future now though..
And Peter got sick after the fall..

So it is confusing..

"I'm going to have to get that sword"

I think his ass just teleported to the past 5million years ago...

mylittlepony · 12-12-2006, 03:34 AM

Oh, just got through watching this one. What Powers can we attribute Sylar?

Tele-kenesis
Perfect Memory
Persuasion (most likely)
Freezing people (one of his victims was completly frozen)

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?

Taco John · 12-12-2006, 03:54 AM

I think you're right about the Haitan being there to block Sylar's powers. But then again, I find it hard to believe they'd leave him without protection... so who knows?

Things that I'm wondering about:

The little girl who's parents he killed. He apparently got what he needed from the father... Killed the mother, and then went back after the little girl. Why? What does she have? And where did that story line go?

What happens when Peter gets in contact with Nikki? Does he just get super strength? Does Nikki have Superstrength but doesn't know how to tap into it yet? Sort of like Isaac only being able to tap when he's high, Nikki can only tap when she's Jessica?

Horn Rimmed Glasses - What is up with this dude? Does he have anything they aren't revealing yet? How did he get into his position, and who is funding him (I'm guessing government).

Mohinder - His sister had abilities. Is he due to develop them?

This show rocks.

Can't wait for the January premiere.
