my bad, i didn't consider the graphic novels as spoilers

Peter doesn't permanently absorb powers. Some people are talking like he does.

12/7/2006 1:20:03 PM

i don't really consider them spoilers either since they are made to go along with the shows (they supplement the content on the show and are made by the show's creators)

i think it is still courteous to give a tag when discussing content from the most recent novel (old novels are fair game)

seemingly.... she did tell him to kill himself, maybe that's what happened and the whole scene was from his perspective where he did shoot himself thinking it was her.... ?

12/7/2006 2:43:47 PM

They cant kill off Sylar, he's pretty much the only bad guy that we know of so far

12/7/2006 2:45:01 PM

jessica is bad

12/7/2006 2:45:56 PM

yeah but she was in peter's dream, so probably she turns good
also the reputable website that informed me that mohinder can dream of the past maybe mistaken

12/7/2006 2:57:06 PM

Nikki is good, Jessica her alter-ego or whatever is bad.

Mohinders visions of the past are induced by an indian boy who has the power to visit peoples dreams to help them make decisions or something like that. So I would say that website of yours is certainly mistaken and definitely not reputable, and why keep referring to it like a secret....just post the link to refrenced websites.

12/7/2006 4:29:17 PM

and you may want to alter "dreams of the past" to sound a little better, because i'm pretty sure anyone on this board can dream of the past. hell i dreamed of a t-ball game from 16 years ago, does that make me a hero?

Eden is dead because the commercial said "one hero is going to die this episode" and that was Eden.

Of all the mysteries, I'd like to know what the fuck is Niki's power. It's been bugging me since the show began. I'm guessing super strength? But it only comes out in Jessica and there's probably more to it.

Damn, why'd they have to kill Eden? Issac is pretty useless; he should have taken a bullet to the head.

12/7/2006 8:38:53 PM

Eden had a real life contract conflict and was going to die eventually.

I think there was a contract dispute between all the characters and the execs decided to kill someone off to nip it in the bud.

this is all from eonline

12/7/2006 8:55:52 PM

ok to prove mr. bennet has a power, look when he first goes to see syler
eden was outside about to go in with him and he say "no, i got it" and goes in by himself

12/7/2006 9:09:27 PM

well, what we're saying is maybe the haitian has a range that his power can block powers out. and he was sitting outside the door or something. i'm still not convinced bennett has a power, but i'm open to the possibility.

12/7/2006 9:12:05 PM

I think Bennetts power is that he has $$$ and thats about it.

12/7/2006 9:24:12 PM

^^^ Bennett says that because he wanted to go in to talk to Sylar himself. He wanted to talk to him personally about his daughter, not have Eden there.

12/7/2006 9:48:24 PM

how did they keep sylar from using his power any other time while he was locked up? obviously the haitian wasnt there the whole time.

12/7/2006 9:53:38 PM

now im thinking that syler can only move metal with his mind and the cell had no metals
but when eden took the gun there he used that to break the glass

12/7/2006 9:59:14 PM

My suspicion is that bennett had somehow rigged the room to where it could also block powers (perhaps with help from the haitian?) and Sylar used his natural power of figuring out how it worked, and disabled it... then bided his time for the opportunity to get Eden.

EDIT: ^ I like your theory better, now that I think of it the only objects I can remember him moving were of the metallic persuasion.

Didn't he take his telekinesis from the guy moving the cup around on the table though? The cup wasn't metal.

i'm hoping that niki's power may be the ability to summon dead heroes (maybe jessica was a hero with super strength, but being so young she couldn't fight back when her father killed her in his drunken state [or whatever happened])

maybe it's just super strength...but summoning the dead would be sweet.

and why i say that is b/c of the tattoo. weren't her and her sister twins? if not...brothers and sisters still have more similarities in DNA (like nathan and peter)...therefore with her sister being the closest to her she is having this "split personality" complex

and if that's true--it's possible that mohinder DOES have a power since his sister had one at such a young age

all personal theories...bash at will.

12/7/2006 11:31:00 PM

I'm still curious as to how Sylar steals abilities. We know that his initial ability is that he has an empathic ability to intimately understand how things work - but that doesn't take us to incorporating those changes into his dna/brain. I would buy that he could use telekinesis to alter his DNA on the molecular level, once he's seen how it operates - but this wouldn't have been an option until after he stole telekinesis. So, he had to have some means of initially changing his DNA/altering his brain when he killed the telekinetic guy in his shop. I think in the first or second episode we see an open book about brain anatomy, but not much else.

Of course, one doesn't need a brain to sample DNA, so I think the writers have their work cut out to make this brain stealing thing plausible.

It's also interesting how similar Sylar's initial ability is to Micah's. Micah can also understand complicated, technical things. Not only that, but he can "heal" things that are broken. Maybe him and Sylar have the same ability, only Sylar pursues it to an evil end and Micah to the good. Sylar did say something to the effect of "you're broken, but I can fix it" to the telekinetic right before Sylar knocked him the fuck out.

What was Monhinder's sister special ability? I thought she had cancer.

12/8/2006 7:36:14 AM

^that's her ability. to generate massive tumors

12/8/2006 7:37:23 AM

^^^Him "fixing it" was a hard object to the dome piece.

[Edited on December 8, 2006 at 7:42 AM. Reason : ]

12/8/2006 7:41:55 AM

she did have cancer...the cancer came from her ability. she was "special" but whatever it was it didn't adapt right so she started developing a tumor in her brain.

much like charlie's ability--she had a aneurysm that would kill her anyday.

it's part of the evolution--some of the heroes can adapt to their powers, while others don't work with their body well so they die of natural causes to weed out the poorly designed genetics

12/8/2006 8:11:32 AM

I think there is a possiblity of a twist that Mr Bennett may have a device or a power to block other heroes powers and they just have the Haitain guy nearby to confuse you. The only real abilty we have seen him do is wipe people's memory.

A possible counter to this theory is when the cop tries to read the Haitain's mind in the bar he can't but there is a chance that Bennett was in the room or using a similiar device.

Who do you think Bennet is talking to on the phone when he discuses about Sylar?

12/8/2006 8:59:03 AM

i'm telling you it's linderman

12/8/2006 9:44:32 AM

Sylar: "Sorry about that"
Chandra: "It's just a glass."

^ I think elkaybie is right on this one. I think Linderman is the guy Mr. Bennet works for.

12/8/2006 10:05:34 AM

Quote :

"much like charlie's ability--she had a aneurysm that would kill her anyday."

Here's something I was thinking about.

The aneurysm thing came up when Hiro went back in time to try to save her. After which, he realized that he can't change the past. Presumably, in the 'alternate past' she died of an aneurysm rather than at the hands of Sylar, so presumably in the past where she did get killed, she may not have had the aneurysm. It's probably a detail that will never be addressed, but interesting nonetheless.

If that's true, then Hiro did some good by not allowing Sylar to gain Charlie's powers. But then again that does change the past, which contradicts Hiro's epiphany.

12/8/2006 10:22:11 AM

i was under the impression that she still died the usual way since hiro wasn't there (when he teleported back to japan)

wasn't the memorial still set up and he said something to ando about failing?

12/8/2006 12:01:47 PM

^i agree, nothing changed in the "real" world, he just realized that no matter what,he can't just go back and "fix" something that already happened.

12/9/2006 9:19:48 AM

HA! although i do watch DoND on occasion, i got into b/c a friend requested we DVR the 2nd episode and i got hooked when he came over to watch it

but i gotta watch the NFL MNF pre show so i can see JACKED UP before heroes comes on

12/9/2006 10:46:34 AM

I don't understand why Charlie did not recognize Hiro in the bar, if they had already met in the past...and why didn't he see himself, like in "back to the future"....hmmm

also, i could give a shit about nikki/jessica, that plot-line is boring... i cringe when i see her on the screen, she is annoying

Whenever you bring time travel into a show, there will be a million questions that get raised. There's no way to ever correctly do time travel without some problems.

12/9/2006 5:17:06 PM

^yeah i understand that. but i am trying to figure out the way they are portraying it in this show. are they portraying the 2 timeline theory, or the single timeline where you can't spot yourself, or what? I can't figure out which "time travel rulebook" they are going with
