Pretty lame episode. They even killed one of the small details that I liked, the way that the episode title was always part of the background. This time, they just plastered it on the screen. This show started off so good and its starting to get disappointing.

I thought it was pretty good.

We don't know who he works for or his purpose, but he is a key guy that apparently has no powers. I'm assuming he is tied to the gov't somehow.

He seems more like a Vegas mobster with political clout (Nathan went to him to get money for his campaign, he buys Issac's paintings, and he had something on Nicki).

if you haven't been following there are three new graphic novels about Hana/Wireless.

January 22nd episodes restart.

I read those today. Hana/Wireless is a dumb power. Put her in 24, then she's useful, but in Heroes, not so much. Unless the actress is really hot.... But it hasn't helped with the Nicki/Jessica character. :(

What can she do?

Read data stream from the air (satelite and wi-fi packets), send text messages with her thoughts... stuff like that. Her hero name is Wireless.

I just can't see how she's going to fit in. Maybe gather data from Linderman to blackmail him. :confused:

Sorry guys, but the acting is horrible, the plot has no real coherence, and the dialog is lousy. The whole Niki portion is stupid. I'm sure they'll figure out some way to tie that family in with everyone else later on, but will the payoff be worth the suffering? What did we start out with? XMen in real life combined with some mysteries. A very cool idea and something that worked at the beginning as we all wondered what would happen next. We oooed and ahhed at the powers and watched as some of the mysteries unfolded while others were introduced. Now, the powers thing is already getting a little tired. And we've lost that sense of mystery. Sure, who's Linderman and is he tied in with Mr Bennet's organization, but are we really on the edge of our seats anymore?

I'll stick with it to the end of the season and hope it gets better. But its going to need a real turnaround to keep me beyond that.

I thought Mohinder would be more involved. He's barely doing anything now.

The new hero seems really lame. The sneak peek at the new hero was only shown on deal or no deal. I didn't recall it being in the actual show. The other new 'hero' seems interesting. The guy who Nathan sees.

The show is still on my harddrive. It's probably taking up at least 6GB on my drive. I love my ATI HDTV Wonder and it's PVR software. :)

the new hero "wireless" is played by Stana Kotic (apparently she was on 24). anyway, *definitely* hotter than claire.

Perhaps, or faked it up until the point where she broke the nightstick.

All the heros are getting better with their powers.

The problem many are not realizing is this show has a past, present, future timeline going on at once. This past episode stepped back into the past (with the Petrallis, Issac, Hiro), the future/present with Claire/Eraser (does he have a name yet) and Nikki/Micah/DL and Sylar, as well as Mohinder and Mr. Bennett negotiating.

Also there seems to be a way Mr. Linderman knew of future events in the past. Hiro eventually gets his sword though, like he discovered there is nothing you can do to change the future....or is there?

Is this a show I could start watching tonight and not miss much or would it be better to add it to the Netflix queue and watch it all at once from the beginning?

how does it have all those multiple time lines when each of the "heroes" has interacted with one another throughout different points? and linderman is connected to everyone as well.
