It seems possible now that this could be Sylar who "took" Ted's powers.
Also, in that painting… Are the two dark images in front of "energy man" people?

I am in the camp of thinking Sylar may have just been healing himself to wait to make a move to get out. Bennet said he had lost a lot of blood and maybe that is why Eden’s powers worked in the first place. He was weakened. They could not have relied on Mr. Bennet’s supposed dampening powers or the Haitian’s because they would have to be at the facility 24/7. …AND both were at the police station (among other places, basically Bennet would have not instructed the Haitian to leave and “wipe out” his family if he need to control Sylar.)

Still not clear on Peter's visions. He did, in fact, see through the eyes of his brother during the car accident (or was he just a floating bystander?). But he was himself when he flew out of the window before Simone's father died. I agree with BC1 that this is part of his power. He has another vision as himself when his brother mysteriously becomes Sylar. …and, of course, the last vision. But he tells Nathan in his vision in jail that all of the "heroes" are the same. (may be reading too much into this) But Niki’s tattoo, The Hatian’s necklace, and the same symbol appears in Suresh’s gene program. Is this the connection Peter will discover to unravel this mystery. My guess is that symbol represents what Peter is tapping into. He is inherently connected to the all players minds. So in turn he gets not only their powers but visions about them. Ok I’m stretchin’ it here. We know he doesn’t have to meet the people to have visions about them because Nikki, Micah, and DL were in his final vision.

Kinda sad Eden took the hit, but being you never saw her picture in most of the promo media, I figured she was toast. (any I've seen anyway)

...and Steg you beat me to the point about Nathan flying away while Mr. Bennet is there. I am not convinced he has Dampening powers.

It's also visible on the handle of Future-Hiro's katana, and it was formed (seemingly coincidentally) by a bunch of pool-toys at the murder scene where Matt's powers activated.

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.


In regards to Peter's condition after his encounter with Sylar. He does cough a bit just as Claire comes up to him the first time. He does not cough at all when he is being questioned by Matt and Audrey. He begins coughing again when Claire visits him in the holding cell. It can be conjectured that she wasn't around long enough the first time for him to have healed completely, but you would think he would improve when he was near her again.

However, I spotted something yesterday when I was rewatching all the episodes again. The time when Claire met the people claiming to be her biological parents, afterwards her mother was telling her about how worried they had been when Claire was a baby, thinking that she had some major problems. When Claire asked what kind of problems, her mother said that she had a cough. That seems such an insignificant thing for her to have mentioned unless it was meant as a subtle clue to be revealed later.

Perhaps Claire has a disease which does not affect her directly anymore, but one which could affect Peter when he came into contact with her. Recall that Chandra Suresh had said that the mutations are somewhat like cancers.

Ooh, yeah. Heck, Claire might have some serious disease or something that her healing factor's been holding at bay.

Yep, noticed it first thing. And for the person that didn't think MBG's accent was haitian, the actor himself is haitian, so I don't see why the accent wouldn't be.

Mr. Bennett told Sylar that he had altered his own DNA so much that it was making him psychotic. Perhaps it's an overload for Peter too.
Might be what's jamming his "visions". Could also be that he's taken on too many from Sylar, Claire and Matt in a short time.
I was more intrigued by the demeanor of all the other Heroes as they watched Peter start to "light up" in his vision. But Nathan kept walking straight towards him. Anybody's thoughts on that?




Interesting thoughts. Could be you are right. I do not think it a coincidence that he did not start becoming ill until his physical contact w/ Sylar.

Nice piece of analysis. I was also thinking some of Peter's illness may be attributed to his contact with Sylar. It is unlikely he could deal with the alterations Sylar has visited upon himself. As to your question perhaps Nathan feels that Peter is his responsiblity and will attempt to fly the both of them away before he goes critical.




My thoughts on the heroes reactions to Peter's going critical is that they didn't recognize him, which leads me to believe my earlier thought that Peter is seeing things from someone else's perspective is likely correct.

I agree w/ Singate that I think the determined look on Nathan's face is that he is going to grab the "exploding man" and fly them away from the city before he goes critical. I don't think it is because the man going critical is Peter, but because Nathan feels some sort of need for redemption because of his action and their consequences so far this season.

Hey!

It looks like the online comics will be continuing over the hiatus. Good chance for some off-camera character development.

http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/novel_012.shtml

Peter has a superhero dream. Hopefully this is the closest we'll get to actual costumes.

The Easter Egg is just another "making of" pic.

Cool. Thanks for the heads up. I didn't even think to check the graphic novels. Good to see they are keeping them coming.

I wonder if they will ever release them in actual comic form.....

They took last week off, but I just spotted the new comic: http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/novel_013.shtml

Part one (of two?), introducing a new Hero before her screen debut, with guest art provided by no less then Phil Jimenez (whose name won't mean much to non comic readers, but he's fairly well-known in the business)! Meet Hana, a Mossad desk jockey.

The easter egg shows "Claire" and "Peter" clowning around on set:

Nice...

U see the (what was supposed to be a) Sneak Peek last night on NBC? I am hoping someone did. I caught a glimpse of it but I cannot remember all that was shown. Must of been too much 'nog.

From what I remember it really didn't reveal much. Just flashes of the characters and the question "Are you on the list?" and glasses sayin' "Who is on that list is of grave importance" Well, duh!

I did see what I thought was a new face and Peter asking him a question... that is what I am fuzzy on. anyone see it?

The new face is apparently Eccleston's character (didn't catch it on TV, but I saw it on the official site).

Since I've been spoiled by hun-dans on another site, I'll pass it along. Politely:

Monday nights on NBC. It's even better if you have a newer TV because they broadcast in HD which is ever so cool. Since the "season" ended NBC has been showing mini marathons on Sunday and Monday nights on a semi regular basis. Keep a look out and you should be all caught before the new episodes start airing on January 22nd.

New issue's up.

http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/novel_015.shtml

No real big revelations, a couple of egregious grammatical errors, and no Easter Egg.

OTOH, Claire makes a cameo, helping to establish just when this is (before the series).

I can't shake the feeling that this "DNA alteration formula" is gonna be important.

Yep, just go here: http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/

That's the root page, and it has all of them in both formats (printable and interactive).

And yes, Hana will be joining the show in S1.2 (January or later). Two other new characters will be another mutant, played by Christopher (Doctor Who) Eccleston, and Hiro's father (likely a recurring non-major character), played by George (Sulu) Takei.

And here's a roundup of Heroes news before the return tomorrow:

http://www.superherohype.com/news/heroesnews.php?id=5110

Quote:

Beginning on January 22nd, viewers will be invited to experience Heroes in a whole new way. As they investigate on-air clues and learn new truths about the characters, their involvement will lead them to new platforms, including interaction with unique mobile content; a WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) site that one of the characters gives them access to; a special "two screen" application which provides a real-time experience; access to the fictional Primatech Paper company's phone system; and significantly increased original content on NBC.com including secret files, hidden sites and original commentary from cast members added to each streaming episode.


And DVD news:

http://www.heroestheseries.com/tim-kring-talks-season-2-extras-on-the-
first-season-dvd-and-episode-20
/

Quote:

“Heroes” showrunner/creator/God Tim Kring sat down with iFMagazine.com to talk about “Heroes”. Among the subject discussed was NBC’s renewing of “Heroes” for the entire second season, as well as an episode that Kring promises will be “the most talked about” of the year — which, in this case, is the still-untitled Episode 20. Says Kring about Episode 20: “This one deals specifically with the idea of time travel and it blows the doors off of a lot of what were doing with the show.”

Other topics of interest include the forthcoming Season 1 DVD box set, which Kring promises extras aplenty, including the 72-minute version of the pilot that was re-shot.
