Any guesses on who Eric Roberts character was? We didn't get his name, did we? Could he be Linderman?

Do you think The Haitian is going to take Claire to New York now? That would be cool, she could meet Nathan and he would recognize her.

I would still like to know what HRG does to the heroes when he takes them, I know he implants an isotope of some kind. Is it just a tracking mechanism? So the OWI (Organization Without Initials - I've seen it called that on other sites. It's the company they all work for) knows where they are at all times? And if so, wouldn't they have put some in Sylar so they would know how to find him?

Eric Roberts' character is named Thompson. Yep, last name only, just like HRG. He's not Linderman, but he's one of HRG's associates.

Oh, and I find it interesting that Lyle (Claire's brother) is adopted too.

It's possible that Sylar took out the isotope or something.

How do we know that Lyle is adopted? And have we heard of this Thompson before?

Thompson is a higher-up in HRG's organization. It's explained in the series of the online novels that introduces Hana, I believe.
Lyle being adopted I have no clue about.

Wow, they really knocked this one out of the park. Before this episode, I still hadn't considered this a "must-see" show (just last week, I missed the beginning of it) but after that, I'm taping even if there's a chance I might miss it. Wow! Matt was actually interesting for once!



Just a thought, but maybe he could take it out of himself if he can do the whole "see how things work" thing.

In one of HRG's flashbacks, he said that he and his wife were never able to father children, and so he was given Claire. I think it's safe to assume that a few years later they adopted Lyle.

Of course, that brings us to the speculation that Lyle could have powers too (though unlikely).

And if we go solely by the show and don't take into account the comic books, etc, then this is the first time we've heard of Thompson.

Of course there are many people who try and try and try and fail to have kids but eventually one gets through. It's not confirmed the Lyle is adopted but it is a good assumption. And if he is adopted chances are he has a power, I believe HRG would only take in kids that Thompson gave him.

I definately liked the flash backs in this episode, they definately pulled off the whole black and white thing. I started sympathizing with Claire's Dad, they made him a lot more human in this episode.

*What was with his gun misfiring like four times on the invisible man?

Am I any less of a man because I cried during the end of this episode?

My discussion points..... V V V V V V



Okay, now lets start some talk about lyle. Bennett HAD no kids, until he got claire, then decided to be a dad. Is there a chance lyle wasnt adopted, just that Mr. Bennet and his wife had a kid AFTER they adopted claire? There could be speculation that he was also adopted, with powers, but i think theres the same chance that he's just a regular kid. Otherwise, he probably would have said something to Claire when she showed him hers.

I remember someone saying back in November that just because a character is dead means they're not gone for good. As we have already seen, this show relies heavily on flashbacks. Even then, I think there might be a possibility that he comes back, even with his memory wiped.

And I just realized that even without Sylar, this still was a great action-packed episode.

I also, have heard this rumor, but just to point a couple things out... this might not apply to THIS 'death'
-HRG did not die, but instead had his memory erased... its obvious that a wiped person could.. be around, i dont think they would have said "dead people can still show up" for somebody who didnt liton th 5erally die.
-Im pretty sure they mean.... flashbacks, memories, time transportation, or dream sequences can have a dead character return.. or perhaps even a power..... thats the interpretation of the quote.
-a character is supposed to die on the 5th. a major one.
-somebody also put another quote side by side with the first one, saying "Peter and Claire will NOT be getting back together.".... which could be something to throw us off, or saying that the death will have a major effect on claire and peters odd distant relationship in this show.

I'm assuming all of this applies to the next upcomming episode of Heroes.

Edit:
Some mini-spoilers for next episode.... discussing for upcoming episode here:

I believe the reason the Haitian wiped HRG memory was as follows:

HRG was supposed to bring Claire into Thompson so they could do whatever it is they do to the heroes. HRG didn't want that so he made it look like The Haitian kidnapped Claire and shot HRG in the process. HRG told the Haitian to shoot him in a certain spot, "any higer and i'm dead" They wiped his memory so Thompson couldn't find out that HRG let Claire go.

Here's some spoilers from Ask Ausiello:



And that sounds about right for why they wiped his memory.

That's what I'm thinking too. I know I don't post much here, but I do read and I do watch the show religiously.

PS
What's up with people posting in white? I can't see that at all...
