All,

Are you as excited as I am about the super surprise twist cliffhanger that is going to blow us away, even in a show known for cliffhangers!?!!?!

I don't know if you're serious, but when I saw that preview I turned to my wife and said, "I can't think of single cliffhanger that this show has had so far."

5. I hope and pray that there will be some sort of clear, powerful villian. That is the classic superhero set up. What I hope and pray for even more is a scene with all the heroes gathered together about to fight the powerful villian. Imagine Peter Petrelli with ALL THE FREAKING POWERS!

Well, have you watched all the episodes? Sylar seems to fit perfectly to your villain description. I mean, that guy is a badass. He is one of the more interesting villain I have seen in a long time.

As for the superhero gathering, I agree, we can only hope.

Yes, I've seen them all. Sylar has glaring weaknesses. As he gathers more powers, though, he could evolve into what I hope for.

"Great Scott" is a double reference.

Heroes is a show about super-heroes. Hiro is a super-hero. A time travelling super-hero. Hiro is a comic fan, he was using it as a Superman reference. The show is also using it as a Back To The Future reference. It's actually pretty clever.

It's FAR more likely Hiro read Superman comics in the original English than watched Back To The Future in the original English. However, it's certainly possible he's aware of both usages.

In the online comic adaptation of Heroes, Hiro owns a copy of Action Comics #1.

I'd argue that Sylar WAS a badass ... until Eden's power of suggestion owned him with seemingly little effort (although I may be underestimating the importance of the Haitian's presence). Sylar is still formidable but, for me, Sylar lost a lot of his luster after that encounter.

The "hero" that will be lost is going to be Radioactive Man.





Oooooooooooor Isaac.

I really need to quit thinking about the time travel aspect of this show. I guess my ideas about space/time are different than a fictional writer's.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's a good idea to let it go. Any show or movie that involves time travel can become a hardcore mind-f**k if you think about it too much.

Semantic time-travel explanation:
Hiro can't change the past, but he can change the future. He initially went forward in time and saw the blast. Relative to his original location in time, the blast hasn't happened, so he can still change it. Had he travelled to the future and saw diner hottie die, he could have gone back and changed it.

Except he did change the past.

There's a photo of Hiro with the waitress, taken six months ago, that would not exist without Hiro's time travel powers.

That's not changing the past in a big way, but it is changing the past.

In addition, if Hiro can't change the past, why did future-Hiro travel into the past to talk to Peter on the subway?

Hiro's wrong, he's just frustrated by a coincidence - That the waitress also had a brain annurism as well as his lack of mastery over his powers (the accidental time jump).
