Can't make a geek show without attracting geeks now, can you? :P

I let the biology stuff slide since I don't know it. I let the brain mutation stuff slide since the brain is openly acknowledged as being unknown. I accept a lot of the mutations as easily being mind over matter since that is what many real shamans and the like use to accomplish similar feats, mostly in the realm of physical endurance (Sylar, I think), telepathy (Matt), farsight (Issac), enhanced strength (Nik/Jes), and rapid healing (Claire). All of that is fair game since it involves unknowns. But when they start messing with knowns like nuclear blasts or extinction level events, then some science has to be brought in to make it realistic. The simplest answer to wash all the science away is Hiro because he is the most broken, overly-powered character. He can bend space-time any way he wants to make anything happen. When the producers want to mess with known science, they don't just technobabble it away like a normal sci-fi show, they just use their broken character to upend reality.

Don't watch a lot of TV, do you?

I watch too much actually. Mostly Sci-Fi, Discovery, and History Channels to be honest.

I have no problem with the idea of Hiro teleporting whoever explodes to another place or time. I just have a problem with the 'wipe out the dinosaurs' part. I don't think the producers wouldn't go with that exact outcome since it would be a little contrived. The exact scenario is where I have a problem, not the general idea around the scenario. A similar outcome, but without as catastophic an outcome, would be understandable. I would still prefer to see an outcome where no one gets hurt... unless it is Sylar that gets hurt...

Perhaps for a more recent location, those two nuclear 'meteor' explosions over Siberia. Though then there would have to be two bombs.

people with powers

Image Claire Bennet

Image Hiro Nakamura
Power: Time Bender
Special Notes: Always with Ando. Apparently becomes a super cool hero guy in the future.

Image Niki Sanders / Jessica Sanders
Power: Can you think of a good word for "Has evil twin who does things without her knowing it?"
Special Notes: DL's husband, Micah Sanders Mother, Was originally niki before she devloped her powers, but the DEFINETELY BAD form, jessica, appears without niki's knowledge. Niki is otheriwise DEFINETELY GOOD.

ImageD.L. Hawkins
Power: Walks Through Walls
Special Notes: Niki Sanders husband (But with a dif. last name), Micah Sanders father. Was some what framed by niki to have apparently committed a crime, and is on the run from the law. Hes trying to save micah, not from niki, but from jessica, but doesnt necessarily realise that there is a diffrence between the two.

Image Micah Sanders
Power: Healing Powers
Special Notes: Son of Niki and D.L.... he knows about both of his parent's powers, and has his own, but keeps it secret from his parents..... i guess he can touch broken/injured things or people and heal them?

Image Issac Mendez
Powers: Can Paint The Future
Special Notes: Drug Addict. X boyfriend to Simone Deveaux. Apparently might be killed in the future? Or was this prevented because of Hiro travelign around through time interfering with things?

ImageNathan Petrelli
Powers: Flight
Special Notes: Brother to Peter Petrelli .... had a uh.... moment with Niki. Managed to escape from the bad guys.

Image Peter Petrelli
Powers: Rouge
Special Notes: Only can fly because hes constantly in around his brother, Nathan. Yeah.

Image Matt Parkman
Powers: Mind Reader
Special Notes: WAS captured by the badguys, then released.

Others with powers (in order of most known about them):

Image Haitian / Mysterious Man
Powers: Can steal peoples memories? Without removing the brain? or sometimes removies the brain?
Special Notes: Henchman of Mr. Bennett... not much known about him either. I guess he has a name now? Haitian?

{insert picture here} Name: I dunno. That crazy guy who watched his wife die.
Powers: can give this radioactive burns with his hands.
Special Notes: I dont know much about this dude yet.

{insert picture here} Sylar
Powers: Umm... a lot of them? Acquires them from people that the bad guys capture or something?
Special Notes: They been tracking his clues, but have found that he manages to flee the scene before they get there. HE has a a lot of powers for some reason, but his identity is still unknown. He probably has ties with Mr. Bennet (Claires dad)
------------------------------------------------------

am i correct in saying that Mohinder Suresh (
Image) does not have any super powers, but just looks around for information his dad might have left about this evolution stuff, with his "friend" ImageEden McCain) but she is apparently in cahoots with Mr. Bennet doing who KNOWS what....








allright. now can anybody correct any of this?


I don't think it's stealing.. more like make people forget ( Haitin)
And Peter can use other people powers
and i think that the cheerleader's father isn't that all evil.. well he did inject them with powers...... Sylar stole the powers by well.. eeeeewwwwwww... and you forgot DL Hawkins son... the one who's super smart... also the waitress who's remembers everything... :D :D

Tue Jan 02, 2007 6:04 am

Whoo!
Heroes won at Peoples Choice last night! :D Of course, they had a rather impossible feat of trying to fit all of the cast and crew on one very tiny podium/stage area.

Can't help it...*knows* not *noes.*

Anyway, yeah! I was excited when all those connections were finally made. I love having all sorts of different stories, but it's so cool when they all connect to each other. When does it come back on again?

Wed Jan 10, 2007 4:45 pm

Congrats Heroes!!!!
I believe it returns monday the 22nd.

Wed Jan 17, 2007 11:47 pm
