Quick update for you (from what I can remember)

Warning, spoilers!

I know there's more, go to NBC.com and the official site to read a better recap, or rewatch it. Getting VERY interesting.

Re Heroes

Okay, from last night....I figured out at some point that the "nine" are the parents, and are they all employees of The Company??? Is that the tie? I couldn't figure out why Claire's dad is not in the photo, but then realized, a) she's adopted, and b) Nathan is the wrong generation. And Matt's dad is the bogeyman? Eek.

Where did Nikki go? I didn't realize she dropped off Mikah at her MIL's house and then split.

Anyone want to weigh in on the good/bad of Claire's dad? Beginning of last season I thought he was bad. Then when he realized that The Company was trying to kill Claire, he seemed to be good. Now he seems to be swinging back to being a bad guy again.

I hate it when 9:00 rolls around on Monday nights and it's over for the week!!!!

I think Claire's dad is good, but out for revenge. And when did Claire's mom get clued into everything?

So....Is the guy who hired Siresh (sp) Claire's dad?

Re Heroes

Clair's adopted Dad is usually referred to by fansites as "HRG" or "Horn-Rimmed Glasses." Now that name is also being used on the show, by the boyfriend.

Her real dad, of course, is Nathan.

I think that "HRG" is a good guy, but was misguided and did some very bad things (no malice intended). I think new flying boyfriend will have reason to hate HRG, but that HRG is now a good guy fighting against the evil folk.

So - what's his name.... the dead white haired guy.... the one Hiru stole the sword from - who's father is he?

Lindstrom...he was the one who was trying to kill everyone at the end of last season and got waxed by Nikki's husband (why can't I remember the names of everyone on this show, I sound like a moron and I watch it religiously!). I don't think it's come out if he has any kids or not. Maybe he's Sylar's dad?

If all the parents were members of The Company, then maybe they did an experiment on the babies or the fetuses that caused them to have powers.

The theory of course gets thrown right out by the fact that the original ninja had healing powers.

Clarification, poorly worded. I think her real dad is HRG. Nathan is just the sperm donor.

Whatever his faults, he clearly loves his daughter.

Linderman.

And the guy from the past is a samurai (a ronin, I think: a masterless member of the samurai class) not a ninja.

When you're a hopeless geek like me, these things matter.

Re Heroes

Okay, last night was just FREAKY.

If Matt's dad (who really has GOT to be the Boogeyman....I had my doubts when they first got to the apartment building, but that quickly faded) goes to the complex to find Bob, he'll also find Nikki, Molly, Mohinder and everyone else who is there. That doesn't make a lot of sense with the story line.

That whole dream/false vision sequence was really scarey. I had figured out that Nathan and Matt were punching each other and was yelling at the TV. Dan laughs at me.

And how did Mohinder know about Monica?

Looks like they can spin this out until the end of the season, no problem, keeping us on the edges of our seats the whole time.

Re Heroes

The fight scene sucked. The writers need to quit reading their comics and move on to more creative pursuits. That was a Justice League contrivance where Wonder Woman and Superman fought each other, each believing the other was a monster.

*yawn*

They know how many comic nerds watch the show and I'm not even a nerd and I knew that happened.

Yes, but there is a bigger group who watch the show and DON'T read comics. They are going for "us".

Re Heroes

I hate to say it, but I am losing interest in Hiro and 1671. End it already!!!

Sylar is truly evil. How he fits in with Matt's dad, I don't know, but there must be a connection.

Maybe a wee less intense this week.

Last scene...EVERYTHING makes sense now. Well, not everything, but enough.

Is it next Monday yet???? (And how will the stinking writer's strike affect the show????)

Re Heroes

G and I have been sort of half-heartedly watching it... Yawn, Hiro and his hero and the princess... yawn... Peter doesn't know who he is.

WHAM. We looked at each other and the TV like a tennis match with this did that just HAPPEN expression. I didn't even BREATHE during the "next week" bit.

And most shows can probably run through Christmas or so. They may stretch them out a bit by inserting some re-runs after sweeps if it doesn't look like the strike will end.

PAY THE WRITERS!!!!!

Re Heroes

That's exactly how I felt last night, Pippa. I've been getting bored with the Hiro story line, Claire is "ho hum" (although the trick on the bitchy cheerleader was rather amusing) and the stuff going on at the compound is interesting, but not compelling.

WHAM is a good description. Dan wasn't home to laugh at us, but Jeremy and I both dropped our jaws down around the floor.

I can't believe I actually look forward to Mondays....
