Heroes 1: We Could Be Heroes  

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. Chuffa, Chuffa!

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Unlike what I saw of last season (I gave up about half way through), I didn't hate every minute. I was even happy giving up two hours to it. So that's an improvement.

I thought the focus on Claire and Hiro was a very good idea. It took us back to the tone of the beginning of season one, somewhat. Still a lot of problems with the show, but I'll watch next week.

Question - the only thing I couldn't figure out from the helpful-but-obvious expository dialogue. Who is this woman that Parkman is with, and is that his son? And wheat happened to Molly?

All is well that ends in pizza.

His estranged/divorced wife.

Heh.

In my defense, this former English teacher got no sleep!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

D found it on demand last night and I think I will stay with it for a little while.

...that could open up a whole nother world of possible avenues to Petrelli nekkidness.

yeah, halfway through the kukri fight I burst out, "cut his shirt off!" alas, they didn't hear me.

I'm glad it was a suicide.

I'm not sure. I think that since they emphasized "jump, fall, push" was forensic science gleaned from TV perhaps Claire has drawn a wrong conclusion.

I miss Mohinder.

Did anyone notice whether the compass was pointing at Peter when HRG held it?

I've been driving by an old-fashioned carnival on my way to Universal Studios every day. I figured it was a set for something but I assumed I'd never know what as they film so many things in and around there. And yet, there it was on TV last night! I can't tell if they're still using it for filming.

I don't think that it pointed anywhere, it just spun. If one person has powers and there's another person with powers nearby, it might point at said person.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't pointing at Peter.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

right, sorry that sentence made sense in my head. The compass wouldn't point at peter because he was the one holding it and there were no other heroes to point at. If Peter (or any hero) were holding it and another hero were to come near it, it would point at the hero not holding the compass.

I thought the question was whether it pointed at Peter when HRG held it, and I thought not.

All I know if it only works for people with powers, they better not pull powers out of their tuchas for HRG in the future.

Of course they always have Mohinder's syringe of destiny...
