The latest graphics novel on the NBC site has a nice little spoiler for you guys.
:thumbsup:

Link?

nbc.com

click on heros, and then the graphic novel.

it's a good read and it portrays the HRG guy on the good side...which means the hatian guy is on the evil side! :shocked:

This is a reference to the Ray Bradbury story "A Sound of Thunder" in which time travelers hunt animals already about to die, at one point one of them steps off the safe path and kills a butterfly. When they return to the future the world is changed due to the change they made in the past. (It was also made into a ****** movie).

that makes sense, thanks

As for some speculation.

I agree that you guys are on the right track with HRG. Looks like he has some kind of power blocking ability. I believe that he configured Sylar's cell to block his powers but Eden turned it off in her attempt to kill him.

I think Nathan knows a heck of alot more than is being let on. I'm thinking he and HRG both "work" for this unseen Linderman guy.
At his first meeting with Eden, HRG said her powers wouldn't affect him as he pointed out the Haitian. Neither HRG or the Haitian stopped Nathan from flying off after they bed napped him. Presumably the Haitian is nearby whenever HRG is out and about or at least when he expects to encounter someone with some mental abilities like Sylar.

Nathan is in bed with Linderman but Nathan and HRG are not 'associates' or coworkers. Note that HRG abducted Nathan from his Vegas one night stand. Linderman might be HRG's employer.

Also Homer Simpson does the same with his time-traveling toaster.

Looks like there's going to be another couple of heroes dieing soon:

"Reliable sources close to Heroes tell me someone?a certain heroic someone?will indeed bite the dust in the next episode, which airs this very Monday. But, hmmm, wait a minute, come to think of it, I'm pretty dang sure two Heroes actually will die within the next few episodes. And producers are even planning a third"

http://tv.yahoo.com/news/article/urn:ne...ba8f7ad2500cd74e172ef98c2825c347__ER:1

Also, anyone ever see the movie "Brother From Another Planet", in it the guy could repair broken electronics with his touch and even heal himself / others. Looks very similar to how Micah's power is developing.

huh? not even close.

Micah can control electronics.... Sylar can figure out how stuff works and implement other heroes' powers into himself, hardly the same.

Wow, did you read the other 50 posts saying that or come up with that all by yourself. :p

Micah can fix electronics, Sylar can fix watches. How do you know that Micah won't be able to apply his power to humans, just like Sylar can?

WHEW! Finally got caught up on the season so I can read this thread again without worrying about spoilers. :laugh:

My wife and I busted out laughing when Claire's friend's mind was wiped and was thinking that she hadn't talked to him since the 6th grade. LMAO - talk about overdoing it!

We also got a huge laugh out of the painting of Hiro.

Didn't care for how the DL/Niki fight went down. Kind of weak.

Liked how they filled out Sylar. I'm wondering how it is exactly that he goes about figuring out how people's powers work. Does he eat their brains or something?

Watch the full episodes online at NBC.com

NBC rocks for letting people watch the full episodes. Do other stations do this?

Not that I know of....

just out of curiosity, but did you even bother to check out the websites for the other to major networks before posting this?

obviously the others don't offer Heros on their websites, but you have many shows that can be watched online from both CBS and ABC.

why would you post "Not that I know of . . ." if you actually have no clue? it's not like it would be difficult to check.
