The show is gaining strength now. I wasn't sure it would establish its own identity, but its done so well I think.

Up up and away! Beep beep, vroom! I love Hiro.

Yeah, Hiro is my favorite character so far though figuring out what the deal is with Niki is the most interesting part so far.

Anyone know what powers Peter Petrelli has? Is he a leech that absorbs some of the abilities of those around him or can he do more than one thing?? Fly AND paint the future?

I suspect Peter is an analog to Rogue, but without the kill-you-if-you-touch me bonus. I'm guessing he doesn't drain other powers so much as mimic them when he's around the other mutants, a proximity-dependent effect.

the preview for next week suggests that the dual-personality woman has some super strength. it would be an interesting take on her if her super ability was something like that, and the dual personality was indeed just a mental disorder.

Seems to be.

Yeah, I thought the same thing but was hoping they'd try to stay away from ripping off X-Men in such an obvious fashion.

Well, one guy in the garage was torn in half so the rage or strength is there. Maybe it's a knockoff of the Incredible Hulk concept.

oh, there's no doubt they've nakedly copied the abilities themselves from other sources. What's interesting is that they've put them in characters and contexts that are utterly mundane. Other superhero stories always focus on the superness, whereas the focus here is much more predicated on a certain normality from which superness is a deviation or distraction.

Heh. You want superheroes minus focus on superness, check out the Ultra miniseries from the Luna Brothers. It's superhero as superstar (in the brad pitt sense); media frenzy, tabloids, money, money, money, and so on.

New episode tonight. How about last week with DL and the schitzo chic fighting? Good episode. Tonights supposedly has regular folk finding out about the people with powers.

I love DL too, a good actor and his powers are awesome.

The kid turns out to be a Forge type character being able to mess with electronics and things. The guy they captured who can cause massive radiation will be the one to blow up New York somehow. I dont think hes sylar, still, though.

Now they hinted that the guy in the glasses might actually not be as evil as we are led to believe. What do you guys think his actual agenda is? Seems to me he cares about his daughter, but does he care enough to save her or use her like Magneto would with the Scarlet Witch?

Some good discussions going on at the NBC.com website for Heroes.

Okay, is there ANYONE on that show who doesn't have a super power? I laughed at the TV when it turned out that both Nikki AND her hubby were mutants. Seriously, what are the odds of that happening?
