He's a "closet gay" on the show so it's not surprising. But they pretty much eliminated any need for him on the show last week, which was kinda sad I liked his characters relationship to clare.

Sounds like a very cool TV series! I'm so sick of constant CSI, Bones, cop/ lawyer shows!
It's all we get in Australia!
We got no Hero's, Battlestar or anything interesting!
Man I hope it's gona get here!

I don't think he's actually gay on heroes Jackie just said he was. I guess he could've been, but it would've been cool to see him and Claire start liking each other. Too bad his mind was wiped clean by the Haitian, who's one of my favorite characters after what he did with Claire.

This guy looks like a puss. Ed Furlong was hardcore as John Connor. I was excited about this series but I'm starting to have my doubts.

Yeah I guess I should have been a little more clear. But after Jackie said that then Zack had that little "I have to be true to myself" talk with Claire I wasn't sure if he was just saying that he was or if he was just saying he doesn't care if people just think that.

And to GreenBastard...all i'm going to say is you sould really google a thing called Bittorrent.

This is supposed to be about The Sarah Conner Chronicles and everyones talking about Heroes. lol. So fricken hilarious.

But back onto topic, I think that Peter and Claire gel better than Zack. He's a cool guy. But I think Peter is better.... Now they just gotta find someway to make it seem alright that a guy in his mid twenties is dating a high school student.

I can't wait for Hiro to get his sword either. I wonder how they're gonna do the T-Rex sequence. That looks really interesting.

This kid stunk up every scene he was in on Heroes. Pretty much this ends any possibility of this show being even decent.

Yeah I was thinking they might do something between Peter and Claire, they would have to somehow make it not creepy. It could work though. And how the heck did Sylar's power work all of the sudden!??!?

LOL- are you serious?? Eddie Furlong was certainly not "hardcore" in T2. He was a whiny, foul-mouthed little kid. Sure, that's exactly what the role required, but..."hardcore"???

That's a good question. I was talking about it with the guys the other day. How in the hell did Syler do that? The answer is, he didn't. It was a visit from one of the movie gods, know only as Lord of the Plot Holes.

Actually there could be a few reasons....he could have still been weak from his fight with peter, knowing he could bust out at any time he could have just been trying to get some info on who was hunting him. I think there was a reason he could do what he did, hell maybe he just wanted to get caught so he could be around more people like him and steal their powers....

most likely, it was because of the Hatian guy. It's pretty obvious that one of his abilities is blocking out others' powers. Maybe he fell asleep or something...

I don't think sylar's powers suddenly started working ,I think Sylar can only move solid objects,and since she was holding the gun he was able to pull her over.Good thing she shot herself,that way he won't be able to know how her mind ticks.

[b]Heroes Fans listen up[/b]
Although Heroes isn't really that good of a show, it is the best new show of the fall. If you like a ton of boring exposition and freakishly shocking moments I recommend LOST. If you endure season 1 of the show, then you will be extreamely surprised at how f'ing good and addictive the show actually is...LOST!!

no way Heroes is the best show ever! I rank it right up there with Twin Peaks.

All the mystery and intrigue is just memsmerizing! Its original because it explores really plain ordinary poeple trying to figure out their lives and their new powers.

Save the Cheerleader save the world!

I thought it was clear that Sylar couldn't use his powers before because of the Hatian. In one scene Clair's dad says, "You're powers don't work here." And in the previous episode Clair's dad talks to the mind controller woman about how, "Now there's someone who you can't control."

The Hatian was off doing something (telling Clair to fake forgetting for her dad) and no one was supposed to go near Sylar.

Of course none of this explains why even though the mind controller woman told Sylar to shoot himself he was inexplicably capable of ignoring her.

I was thinking about that, and what if he was able to see what was "broken" with him that allowed him to fall for her power and was able to fix it while he was recovering. Once he's exposed to the powers maybe he can make sure they arn't used against him.

Titus I've been a long time Lost watcher, ever since the beginning, and while that's a great show, Heroes answers more questions in one episode than Lost does on the season. I'll still watch next season, but they're still kind of losing me.

It's clear that the Haitian can erase memories, but ever think that maybe it's Claire's Dad who can nullify powers? Think about it...

And I think Sylar stayed in the "prison" on his own terms. It wasn't until what's-her-name tried to use her voice was it time for him to take action.

As for Peter and Claire hooking up, the character bios have Peter at 30 years old and Claire at like 16 or 17. So first she has to turn 18...and even then it's still kinda creepy. Plus Peter digs the painter's ex-girlfriend.

What a geek I am!

Um? Sarah Connor Chronicles? I could give a rat's....

The concept of a Terminator show is. . .interesting, but they should stop at 3 films.

Anyway, HEROES!! The show is so great, and I agree with mojodaddy because although I love Lost, Heroes does not ask 742387394 questions and answer one a season. YAY ALI LARTER!!!!
