Love the podcast – best heroes one out there.

Second some random thoughts, theories, etc after seeing this episode.

1. If you see the latest comic you can zoom in on the diagram of the gun and it very specifically shows it is for delivering serum. So the marks seem tied to some sort of serum injection. One of the primary uses of a serum is to transfer an immunity from one person to another. I tend to agree with others posting here that somehow it activates people’s powers, and perhaps also grows the mark in accordance to the level of power maturity.

2. In the preview for the next week we see that Claire may talk to her mom. Who her Dad is going to be seems to be a big mystery – I’ve heard it will be a huge plot twist and surprise. That leads me to believe it is someone we’ve met on show.

OK – my theory – after really thinking about this – I think her father is HRG himself – Mr. Bennett. He said something went really wrong with her mother when bringing her in. What if what went wrong is HRG fell in love, had an affair, and boom Claire…

3. Finally, do we know for sure HRG has no power? I forget, but is it possible that the erase memory power is the Haitians, and the nullify power ability is HRGs? We see Eden having to tell Sylar to not use his power when they catch him, but the Haitian is right there – why bother? Anyway, I’m probably totally forgetting some scene that shows this to not be the case and am blowing smoke… Maybe HRG has some control over his ability to turn off others powers… We certainly have seen him around others when they use their ability.

JLSK

Why? Well Eden’s body was found in Ontario, quite a distance from Texas where Primatech is located. For a second I was thinking, ‘do we really know that Primatech is in Texas?’ And the answer to that is YES, cause we know Claire visited there. Unless there’s some portal from Primatech to the ‘lab’ section of it that goes somewhere else. Which is actually possible and would have made it very hard for the FBI to find when they showed up.

And Doug, yes, I did see that! I also noticed that Sylar wasn’t listed with an ability. He was the only ’special’ that wasn’t.

I broached this question with the podcasters, “Do you think that D.L. is going to learn to better control his cells, to not only shift them and phase through solids but also to morph his cells and keep them that way?”

I’m super-hyped!!!

This could also be applied to Matt in that the Haitian immediately erases any thoughts that Matt might glean from HRG’s mind.

As interesting as the theory is, I don’t really buy it because it assumes the Haitian knows when a special is there and is using his/her powers(line of sight does not seem to be needed, think of Matt, HRG and Claire in the police station, or when Matt is only able to get the word “Sylar” from HRG outside Primatech). I think that Mr. Haitian’s eliminating powers only work on powers of a psychic nature. Eden’s power and Matt’s can be blocked because they’re coming from the mind, where Nathan’s power is a strictly physical power, and only affects himself.

I realize that theory is kinda lame, too, but it’s the best I’ve got right now. We’ll just have to see what Tim and company have in store for us. But here’s a thought: what would happen if the Haitian and Peter got together? Would the Haitian nullify Peter? Or would Peter nullify the Haitian? Or would it not matter because the world would simply implode in on itself?

Furthermore, how can he wipe memories as well as nullify powers? The writers have always stated that each special will only _originally_ have one power (which offers the loop-hole for Sylar.) Does that mean that ‘the Haitian’ was modified to have another power, or does his abilities stem from a single power? Similar to Hiro’s ability to bend time _and_ space?

Regarding the incisions being some outward sign of a tracking device, I’d have to say “no” to that. My reasoning would be that if they were implanting devices into people, wouldn’t Wireless know immediately and be able to reverse it’s use to track exactly where Mr. Bennet is? Since she’s obviously still hunting for her, I’d have to say that the incisions are the result of the injection of the serum, and only that.

Now, heres a question building off of the serum and the research. How does HRG’s team track specials in the first place? At no time, before his abduction, did we see Matt telling people about his abilities (have we, I honestly don’t remember.) And yet, within what a day or two of his abilities developing, ‘the Haitian’ shows up at a bar he visits. So, does that mean that HRG has a special on his team with the ability to track other specials?

Next, I’ve been thinking about this for a _long_ time, and I think that the only explanation would be that HRG must have other specials working at Primatech. We’ve already met with ‘the Haitian’ (I hope he has a good name), we know that there is a very likely chance that some type of illusionist special or hypnotism special works there, otherwise how could the FBI miss the ‘holding pen’ at the very least? Finally, as of Godsend, we observe HRG traveling (not literally) from his house to the ‘holding cell.’ And, then from FBI semi-custody in TX to NY to chat with Mohinder. I think that there is good reason to believe that HRG also employees a transportation special… which isn’t too hard to swallow because on Mohinder’s map, there are at least three specials listed with some type of transportation based ability… not to mention our witnessing of Nathan’s ability to fly incredibly fast, and Hiro’s ability to fold space!

I cannot wait to see when Hiro gets the ability to transport someone else along with himself… or better yet, since he is getting better and better at controlling time, wouldn’t it be neat to see him turn a locked wooden door into dust by touching it and hyper extending a time bubble across its surface? Talk about Yataa!

My favorite scene was Ted training in the Nevada desert … Too cool! Based on the spoiler for next week’s episode (Hana & Ted), I hope they have an action scene and show Ted battling using his powers … That would be so awesome to see.

Nikki has super-strength … AHHHH! (lightbulb turns on) So she actually is crazy (ala Fight Club)!

Simone … I think she does have a power, and so did her father. I am in total agreement with Rich on this. I think Mr. Deveraux had precog powers and thats the source of Peter’s precog dreams. Also, Peter’s dream appears to only include “specials” (No Mom, No HRG, etc.), and Mohinder and Simone are in the dream. This doesn’t prove that Mo & Simone are special, but just one more hint that they are … After all, you need to keep something for S2.

Abu Aswan … I am thinking he can multiply himself, which is why he shows up multiple times on the list in different locations.

WILD PREDICTION … If/when Hana confronts HRG, look for them to use something like a white noise generator to block her abilities. It should have a similar effect as when the Haitian blocks Matt mind-reading powers.

Anyway, great podcast last week … I almost died laughing when the kid you guys were interviewing said he didn’t know who George Takei was … MAN! How old am I?

My theory is really out there…but since family ties are seeming to get more important… what if Claire’s biological father is/was Nathan and Peter’s father?? Its just a thought because I was thinking about family ties between the heroes we know already…

For example, the first question:
1. If you work at a store and see a woman steal a can of soup to feed her family, would you:
A. Ignore it
B. Inform the store manager
C. Pay for it yourself

Answer A gives you 3 “points”, B gives you 1 “point”, and C gives you 2 “points”. I’m not a psychologist, but from first guess, if you answer questions with 1 point, you’re unempathetic… 2 points, you’re a “hero” and 3 points you’re a coward. Or, something like that. I honestly have no idea, but that’s my guess.

At any rate, the point values for each question are as follows:

1 point answers (in order from #1 to #7): B A C C B B C
2 point answers (in order from #1 to #7): C B B B A C A
3 point answers (in order from #1 to #7): A C A A C A B

The computation of the answers is fairly straightforward but hard to explain clearly, but it goes like this: if you total 4 “1 point” answers you receive a “1″ for the final score, if you total 4 “2 point” answers, you receive a “2″ for the final score, and if you total 4 “3 point” answers, you receive a “3″ for the final score. Basically speaking, whatever your answer is the most number of times, that becomes your final score…

The weird thing is: ***IF YOU TIE TWO VALUES (1112223, 1222333, etc.) YOUR FINAL SCORE WILL BE “3″*** no matter what your actual answer combination was.

Kicker: I have no idea what the final score actually does. That’s handled on the server end, and I really don’t have the time to try and brute force the NBC web server for THAT answer.

As for Mohinder having a special ability, I’d have to agree that it’s possible. Especially since his sister was special…

that besides the point, i did notice something about HRG. when he walked into mohinder’s apartment hoping to form some kind of alliance with him, he was holding a gun. the thing that i found striking about the gun was the fact that it had an odd yellow/green color at the back (Please correct me if i’m wrong)… with this in mind my theory is that it was not a normal gun… but (if you saw the preview of hana with ted during deal or no deal), it was similar to the blueprints that were shown on ted’s computer. my guess is the gun was actually a gun that holds the serum instead of conventional ammo. also, though HRG did leave mohinder at the end of the discussion, it was never made clear that he actually left the building, we only hear the door close as mohinder stares at the primatech business card (i know this is a stretch).

my theory is that HRG is obviously aware of the fact that mohinder has the list, which if i remember correctly, HRG had removed claire’s name from when mohinder’s dad was still alive. i also believe that mohinder has some sort of undiscovered ability… back when he found out that shanti had some sort of power, i can’t help but think that mohinder has one too since they share the same bloodline; just like peter and nathan have abilities.

i also think that the gun or “syringe” with the 2 needles is very significant to “unleashing” or the “discovery” of the heroes to find their powers.

we’ll just have to wait till next week!

Did I miss something with Sylar though? Why was he still captured, I thought when Eden shot herself he’d escaped. Can someone comment to that please?

Thanks!

Peter has been around him a lot so he would have absorbed it by now.

And think about it how interesting a combination of clairvoyance, empathy, and precognition (from Isaac of course) would be in dream form. Just an theory.

I love this show!!!

This doesn’t prove that Simone has a power, but it definately hints at a genetic link…

How did they hide everything from the feds? Something tells me that there are more specials than just ‘the Haitian’ working at Primatech. I would imagine that it wouldn’t be too hard for someone to mask the building in some type of illusion that blocks all investigations to certain areas. Neat-o!!!

Now, regarding Peter’s newer dream. I think that there may be some importance to that first shot, that shows him getting up off the ground. Why would Peter be splayed out like that? Perhaps he’s mastered flight, that would explain why he would by lying down in the middle of a once busy street. But… I dunno, it seems to obvious for Heroes. Also, why does he keep looking down into that tunnel?

I totally loved that Jessica finally got a chance to use her strength. When I had read that she was going to get her own power, I thought that meant a different ability for her, other than strength. Now though, at least she can play more of an active role. I just hope they continue this arc with her dead sister inhabiting her body. Was that her ability? Does that mean their father can do something too?

This is a little off topic, but has anyone gone to the NBC.com site in the past day or two and seen Muhinder’s interactive map? It’s surprisingly sparse, but I did notice an odd mistake. (I’m sure it’s an error on NBC’s part, it’s too glaring to have been done on purpose.)

As you scroll about that map, you’ll find one man with a full address listed twice. “Abu Aswan, 1428 Sabah, N Ave., Cairo, Egypt” But the problem is he’s listed once in South America, and then in Northern Russia. Neither of which are terribly close to Egypt. Plus, why does that name sound so familiar to me? I’m not being sarcastic, I really do think I’ve heard his name in the show or in the real world news or something lately. Am I loosing it, or can someone vouch to the familiarity of his name?

Why is Simone so important!!!! This is killing me, and please don’t consider that question a character assassination of her role. I really need to know what the writers are planning. She is obviously an important part of this show as she appears again and again in advertising, and promos. And it can’t possibly be because she completes the love-triangle between Isaac and Peter. Could she have an ability? I know the writers say “no,” but what is it? She is the second (possibly third) mundane character that seems truthfully significant to this show the other(s) being, Mohinder and Mr. Bennet. Arghh!!!

I haven’t seen the upcoming preview, but I’m waiting for it to surface on YouTube, and I cannot wait to hear the new PodCast!

Nathan (and possibly Simone) are heading out to Sin City to try and persuade Linderman to give up the Kensai sword. While there, Nathan is going to run into the newly liberated Nikki/Jessica (Nissica???) and have an awkward at best reunion.

Hiro will get kidnapped by his dad and brought back to Japan, and Ando will head off to help his buddy.

Claire will begin the process of finding her bio parents, but will only have contact over the phone as seen in the trailer. Still too early to actually meet them.

Peter and Claude have a lot to talk about, and Peter will not be off to Nevada. He needs to stay in NYC so’s he can go boom. Also, Claude has a lot to teach him that will keep Peter occupied for the next few episodes.

Just my thoughts. What do you guys think?

Her name was Angela Bromstad, which happens to be the same name of the NBC Universal Studio President

It was cool to see D.L. hold Nikki’s hand but I was surprised to see that there was a guard in the room. Why didn’t the guard say anything?

I wonder if Hiro really does need the sword to restore his power or if it’s a mental thing.

I’m glad that Nathan was a little less evil this week.

The Hana preview is on the NBC website, I had missed it last nite as well. I was wondering how Peter could see Claude in his dream and things to come. It’s not like he’s met Sanjog and has that ability. I’m thinking maybe because he’s so empathetic he can put himself in the position of someone else and see what they can see.

AFAIK, it should show the “Wireless” video as something you can view ….

I suppose it could be that Nikki was using the power, but I was thinking it would be really cool if she had the ability to replicate herself (Like the guy on the X-Men movie who was arrested for “robbing 7 banks simultaneously”). That would give Jessica a body of her own, potentially, and didn’t we already see this occur in the scene where Nikki was talking to Jessica? They each were sitting with their back to the mirror, and each had their own mirror image. She wasn’t looking into the mirror talking to her image, she was looking at another person… anyway, just a thought.

I Think one spoiler I read said that a female was being written out of the story. That must me Matt’s wife, ’cause wasn’t she ready to leave when he walked in the door? That would be too bad, but it’s the only one I could think of, — unless Nikki/Jessica is the one, but I think there’s probably more of them to be seen.

I missed the preview with Hana, is it anywhere on the web that I could see it?

I agree with what Claire said about Nikki. In fact a spoiler said that Nikki would learn about a power she didn’t know she had. I’m pretty sure you guys discussed that in the spoiler section in the last podcast.

Also, it’s been demonstrated and discussed that it’s usually strong emotions that bring these powers forward. And she was very emotional about not being able to hug her son.

Now, about Peter’s dream… We’ve already been told that his dream would evolve over time, for example the Claude character now being a part of it and Nathan telling him that he’ll help him. I think it will continue to evolve further and it’s in the dream that Peter needs to figure out how to fix this thing so it doesn’t happen in “real life”.

Gabriel “Sylar” Gray

His original power was that he could see how things worked. So what he did is he stole or somehow acquired Chandra Suresh’s list and started off by contacting that guy who had the telekinesis, I forget his name, it’s the scene where he goes to Gabriel’s watch shop and Gabriel first comes up with the name Sylar. Anyway he kills this guy, I think his name is Tom, the old fashioned way and takes out his brain, probably with a saw. Since he can see how things work he studied this guy’s brain and found out how to use his power.
Mohinder in the first episode talked about the limit of human brain power and how we only use 10% of our brains. These heroes have their abilities because they are using more than 10% of their brains. So Sylar takes the brains and studies them because he knows how things work and therefore he learns how to use that part of his brain therefore allowing him to use that power.
So he goes around taking all these peoples brains and studying them like textbooks and basically learns how to use these powers. I guess he has killed a person that can freeze things in order to freeze people as well and he must have learned some sort of healing ability or maybe indestructible.
Anyway I really like this aspect of the show because it kind of says that any person is capable of being able to have these powers if they can unlock that part of their brain. Remember what Chandra Suresh says, “If the soul exists, it exists in the mind.” Do a little soul searching and you may find that you too can unlock an ability. Do a LOT of soul searching and you may unlock a lot of abilities and as Mohinder says, maybe be worthy of God’s presence.

What’s this guy’s deal?

Will we find answers in Las Vegas?

Wow. I read too many spoilers for my health and was still very much blown away. The Petrelli scenes were very touching.

Peter was on the phone with the travel agent and was planning to go to Las Vegas before running into Claude. Will Nathan suspect something is up when Peter isn’t in Las Vegas? Or does he still go, but with Claude too?

Three weeks before the explosion. Ted appearing to have powers very much like the dream sequence, the corrilation with the Hana preview.

I’m scared! LOL

How is Niki gonna get out??
I missed the DL power holding hands. Rewind!
Awesome stuff…bedtime for me!
Good Night all!

1. Hiro’s face when he finds out it’s a replica sword.

2. Hiro making a flying noise to Nathan, Nathan saying “Quiet, everyone will hear you.” Hiro makes the noise more softly.

Man, the rest of this season is going to be awesome.

BTW, there’s Greg Beeman posted a great article tonight on Godsend: http://gregbeeman.blogspot.com/

What about the Syringe diagram that was shown in the preview??? It was some sort of Serum delivery system. I’m going to try and get a good pic of it by the morning. I’ve got to burn the episode onto a DVD so I can get some good screen captures of it in the AM…

I loved the scene between the Haitian and Claire. The Haitian is quickly becoming one of my favorite “billans” in the show, if you can even call him that.

I’m with Claire in the comments here… I was blown away when I saw Niki snap the police baton in half. Character-wise, I’ve liked her the least in the show… but this added an interesting dynamic to her… like maybe she’s got more control over Jessica than she’s letting on, or Jessica’s slowly losing her grip over Niki.

Overall I thought it was a great episode. It definitely came back strong… and didn’t give away too much too soon.

Corey – I have the code, but I’d have to kill you if you heard it. JK… call the 800 number… you can find it on the Primatech Paper website… once you call, choose Option 3 (Personnel) and listen for the code…
