FRYING THREAD!

Hmmm... I've wondered where Peter got the prophetic dreams from that first got him thinkingobsessing about flying. Do you think that it could be that he was in contact with someone who had prophecy dream powers, like, say, Simone's dying father?

Lovely thread. I especially love the Bowie lyric as the title.

Maybe he ran into Buffy now that she's left Sunnydale.

Regarding Petrelli Sr.'s death, all we know is that it was called a heart attack for a while, until Mother Petrelli said that it was really suicide. No mention of the method used, although I get the impression it was an overdose of something.(or poison)

I think that\'s exactly right, Theo.

I think it would be bizarre if they didn't bring Simone's father into it, given that he lived in that building, and that building is definitely Significant (even if it's ultimately for budget reasons). And he did seem like a dreamer. Seems like a kind of...underwhelming power, unless I'm misunderstanding.

eta: but with both of them dead, it would be hard to do, outside of flashback, but that is now an established convention of the show.

given that he lived in that building

Not just lived in it -- He owned it, didn\'t he?

Yay, Heroes thread! Thanks, Theo, for suggesting it!

Not all powers are necessarily very useful, like being able to glow in the dark, or turn into a purple guinea pig. We're just spending more time with the interesting powers, presumably.
