I mostly just want to know when and what channel it's on so I can watch it. I've heard so many good things about it (especially from you & Scott) that I figured I might as well expand my tv repertoire ;)

[andythesaint]

It's an NBC show. Since you live in Calgary, I can tell you that it's on channel 16.

it is on Monday Nights. I catch it early on the time shift shaw channel.
(mostly cause i can't wait to watch it)

C'mon, these TV Talk posts are supposed to be about conversation! You're helping the cause! Maybe someone will even support your time travel bias.

Skooch says:
I'm so far outside the box it's ridiculous

Andy says:
Unless it involves any kind of thinking that challenges linear thought or accepted invented practices

Skooch says:
I'm fucking tired okay

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... oh Skoochie, he was really trying though!

wildlyoscillate got me onto these shows and i love them. Sure the concept is a bit dated but the characters (especially Hiro) are awesome.

The show is awesome.

First few episodes I was all like "Pfft, people discovering they have superpowers? Been there, done that", but now I'm all like "WTF IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT EPISODE?!". It's sucked me in big time

*I think you're correct to link Niki and Issac in regard to their powers and possible "Mental Blocks

[wildlyoscillate]

I like your ideas on Mika, that would be very cool. I love it when kids have really strong powers.
Yeah, I thought Silar might be Claire's dad at first too. That's obviously not the case though.
I think that waifish girl has some kind of powers of pursuasion, as she's always saying things that are very Jedi-mind-trickesque. And Claire's dad sent her in to convince Issac to shoot up to paint again. And she seemed to stop Silar with just words.
I mean the actor playing Mohinder. He's the worst of the bunch.
I think there's more to come to prevent the bomb. Hiro hasn't played his part in that, and I think the memory waitress has somthing to do too.

I think Sylar can siphon off powers of the supers he kills by taking their brains or something. That's why he seems to have multiple powers (he also levitated that one time it looked like). Thus, saving Claire may have been about keeping Sylar from acquiring her regenerative powers, thus keeping him from destroying the world (possibly by acquiring radioactive man's powers. Maybe not having Claire's healing powers makes him more vulnerable to the radioactive dude's powers).

I was thinking about that too, but couldn't he just push with his telekinetic powers, so he can then make extreme jumps or even float to a certain extent. Reading a recap on TWOP, I forgot he also froze people. So he might have picked that up. Or he telekinetically reproduced a heat pump. Like refrigarator. I'm definitely stretching here though. However I still like my psychopath idea, but eating there brains for their powers is perfectly valid.

[oyaguy]

I almost forgot. I was looking at the Heroes website and their comic book companions. Eden, waifish brunette, power is that if she tells someone to do something, they do it. Like say, drop dead. Though everything shown on television has been rather more ambiguous in that regard. Like when Mohinder left and Claire's father told her she could have done more, I thought he was telling her to put out.

[andythesaint]

Yeah, the freezing thing. That seems less telekinetic. (I forgot too).
