Heroes Season 1, part 2

Yes, nice to understand more about Mr. Bennett.

Was surprised to Hiro as a kid but how does Hiro's dad tie into everything? I thought he was a typical business man. Actually, this brings up more questions. Hiro's dad must know about him having powers so I wonder why he allowed him to stay in America in the previous episode.
 
wow, freaking intense episode. probably my favorite so far. i like how even though it really only focused on claire, et al, it tied in a handful of other people.

so hiro's dad. still not sure who the person who is higher up in claire's life than bennett would be (as said by the haitian)... etc. lots of questions, but a ton of answers also. good stuff

I am also wondering why everyone doesn't have a really bad case of radiation poisoning.

I was wondering if someone was going to ask that.

If I remember my Fission correctly, a radioactive substance (we're all most familiar with Uranium 238), will send off radioactivity naturally, however, concentrate that, and you get a lot of heat - especially if you contain the radioactivity (alpha and beta particles) in an equally small space, because it is that which starts knocking neutrons about causing the "Chain Reaction" component of an accelerated reaction we've all heard about.

We all saw him generate little balls, who's center was very very bright. Well, I have to beleive that those were force fields o some kind, in which he was compressing the reaction to the point of fluorescence.

So, in the part where he was practically burning the house down, I feel he was keeping the containment field close to his skin, thus generating that innense heat, without a lot of radiation leakage (of course, there could be some).

The questions I have are:

Where does the radioactivity come from?
Wouldn't he have melted the syringe with the Tranquilizer?

He could be doing Fusion instead of Fission. Its all 'magic' so it doesn't really matter.

My point asking about the radiation poisoning is that his wife probably got cancer from it. Matt and lady FBI person both came out of the interrogation room with excessive doses of radiation and that was without his light show.

If all the radiation he is putting out is hard radiation they all should be dead with the possible exception of Clair and the neighbors would be worried about the radiation poisoning.

Well fusion doesn't create the hard radiation we've all been indoctrinated with. I thought he burned his wife up (as well as his apartment)?

And good eye on the contamination of Matt and FBI, I'd like to add the grass and flowers from two weeks ago. I feel that happened as he was releasing radiation without containing it.

Looks like our frind has been practicing.

Since when? Last I checked Gamma Rays are released through fusion. If you fuse the wrong things you kick out neutrons.

His wife died of cancer in bed and Matt told him his wife's final thoughts.

He was doing that when the woman with built in internet found him. Isn't she the one Bennett saw working at the paper plant?

Her (real) mother?

Wait, is it true that Hiro's dad doesnt know about his ability?

The interaction between Hiro and his dad would suggest that; i guess we'll find out eventually. I'm interested to know what role Hiro's dad plays in the company.
 
Great Episode! This is what LOST should be like, no constant unanswered questions.

I'm thinking Hiro's dad may have something less sinister (He owns her - or did he say she was the Company's)? It might be Hiro's dad who is creating all these folks looking for something specific (ie. fountain of youth). Claire doesn't die, but she does get older, not really sure how that works.

Matt really doesn't have a direction does he. Looks like they might hire him to replace the Haitian dude.

I would venture to guess that Claire and the Haitian are headed to NYC at this point. I guess we can expect Claire and her Dad to finally hook up.

This show is too much fun.
 
It's all relative

Maybe the invisble man was hiding Hiro and his dad doesn't know.

Simone's father owns the building that roof top is on. Maybe it's her or maybe it was her father. Everyone who has abilities seems to have relatives who have abilities. When Simons father died he described Peter's flying dream to her even though Peter never told her father about it.
The offspring of 2 heroes usually becomes a hero themself. Nathan and Peter's mom doesn't appear to have any powers. Did their suicidal dad? Does Nikki/Jessica's mother? Hiro's parents? His sister could. Will Eden turn out to have been related to one of the heroes? Issac doesn't appear to have any family. Mohinder's list only has 36 people on it. That doesn't seem like a lot if you have generations of people with abilities running around. The question is which characters are first generation heroes and which are 2nd gen. Could Claire and Nikki's son be 3rd gen?
Theory:
Nikki absorbs powers like Peter and Sylar, but she also absorbs their personality as well. Jessica just has super strength. Nikki hasn't figured out how to use her ability because Jessica is in control most of the time. Also Jessica being dead might mean Nikki can only absorb powers in a very certain way like Sylar. Peter is lucky he doesn't have to kill anyone to gain new abilities. The writers are to busy linking all the characters stories together and setting up for the showdown in New York. They probably won't explain Nikki/Jessica till next season.
 
What are the chances that two "special" folks get together and have children?

Nikki and her husband didn't know that the other has a talent until much later. Then the kid surprised them both with his ability to manipulate electronics. I wonder what the relationship is between him and the internet lady (that met with Matt in the graveyard).

It looks to me like they have classes of abilities. Will Simone have healing ability like Claire, Peter and Sylar have similar abilities to absorb others abilities. The kid can control ATM's like the internet lady can control the computers. Claire's Mom can control fire much like Ted can control the Nuke thing.

So far we know that a bunch of folks are connected at a single point. The guy in Vegas.

Should be a good season!

A lot of good questions there and i hope that most of tem get answered eventually.

As for this theory... I am not so sure that Nikki absorbs power, nor does sylar really. The way i think of Sylar is kinda like what he did with the clocks. He is able to analyze what makes them tick and then "fix" them. In the case of the people with powers he finds out what makes them tick (a certain DNA sequence i would guess) adn then modifies his DNA to make him do the same thing. I am also going to also assume that he really DOES NOT need to kill them, but he does so that no one else has the same ability now (except Peter who is frankly, a lot different in the way his power(s) work).


I love this show and it one of the few that I try to be home to watch.
 
Did anyone notice the overwhelming amount of commercials. Ugh did that piss me off.

Anyone catch the sneak preview of next weeks episode... Looks like simone has some powers or Peter did heal her.

Like somone had mentioned, Sylars ability is to see how things "tick." He doesn't eat brains!

I can't wait till monday.
 
I dont get it :confused: Why did the Haitian guy kill Mr. Bennett infront of Claire in the end of the episode??

Also, When Mr. Bennett took "the Invisible guy" to the bridge..it seemed like Bennett wasn't shooting @ him.. The bullets were being forced out of the gun OR like somebody else was in control of the gun :confused: :eek:

Lets go for movie quotes...

"Slumped is not dead."
"Shoot the hostage."

Bennett was shooting him. Bennett thought he killed him.

I don't beleive that's the case at all. I believe Mr. Bennett faked a kidnapping of his daughter. Ergo the removal of memories. If the company thought Mr. Bennett was dead, there would be no need to remove memories tying him to Clair as nobody would think to look for them in a dead man. Also, remember the Haitian said "There cannot be anything casting doubt" (or something like that) stating that Mr. Bennett is expected to return to work.

I believe that Mr. Bennett staged a kidnapping of Claire by the Haitian, so he could both protect his family, and himself.
