What's up with that Syler dude? Why is the Cheerleader so important?

Post your Heroes thoughts and arguments here!

I think Syler can some how take someones powers, but only after their dead, thats why he is following that guy around so he can find them

Yeah... that is the case with Syler. I can say this freely because they introduce it in the first episodes, but he takes their powers by cutting open their heads.

I really love the way he plays that character. The actor kind of reminds me of a more cleaned up Jason Schwartsman. He plays the uneasiness of being a person who once felt that he was small, insignificant, and powerless, but now his powers have created this sub personality that shows through, one that seem to be literally "drunk with power".

Ripper have you figured out what Hero (the japanese guy) can do with his power because I remember a couple of episodes ago when he somehow reversed the bullet the girl was going to shoot at him, did you get that or what?

Hero has the power to control time.....however it seems he has lost confidence in his power and as his cinfidence waiver so do his powers.

As far as Sylar goes I too love the way the actor is playing him. I think he and Peter petrelli are the final good and bad because the way sylar uses his powers gives him the same ability peter has only sylar has to disect people to see how their brain works in order to recreate their power within him.
Sylar original power fyi was the ability to see how things work which made him an excellent clock maker which is where he got his name from Sylar Clock brand name.

Isac the painter, does anyone understand if he's bad or good, he did try to kill Peter. so it could go either way

He's good. At least he has good intentions, but then again so does Claire's (the cheerleader) dad, the horn rimmed glasses guy. Intentions arent always the best things.

Madden-All-Star · #8 (**permalink**) 03-03-2007

Yea do you think Claires dad will still appear throughout the series or do you think he's done with, the guy earsed his memory so some how I just can't see seeing him again, but what do you guys think????

Great observation Esi! I knew he was the watch repair person, but I didn't put the two together that he doesn't take their power so much as recreate it from what he sees in thier heads. You are on the ball!

And HIRO (not hero) has the ability to stop time or take himself into a different time.

Isaac wanted to kill Peter cause he was bangin his Girlfriend.

Im wondering if the crazy split personality blonde chick is really going to get too and kill Peters brother. (you know the senator guy that can fly) She did make the deal to be a hitman for that guy in Vegas.

Oh did they ever show what the cop did with the diamonds>?

Madden-All-Star · #11 (**permalink**) 03-04-2007

No the cop was getting ready to call the police and tell them that he had them but the nuclear guy called so he went to meet up with him

Thats how I remember it

So what'd you guys think of the latest episode? Can't believe I have to wait a month and a half for the next one.

And I think Esimorp's analysis of Sylar is dead on. He can see how things work...so he takes the "heroes" brains and analyzes them, somehow making the necessary changes in his own mind.

I can't wait that long...

Well I guess I'll have to...

Love this show, also love the fact the Peter Petrelli is like the anti-Sylar. Should make for an intersting showdown once Pete gets a handle on his powers.

ripperjd · #14 (**permalink**) 03-07-2007

I thought this last episode was great, but I was really upset to find out we have to wait for the next ones. Next season they should do it like 24, where there is no break.

So... I wonder... If Syler cut open the Clair's head, wouldn't it just heal? What if the reason Clair is the key is because if Syler figured out how to heal and be nuclear, he would become the ultimate weapon?

And... when Hiro visited Peter from the future, he said something about Peter not having the scar. If he can regenerate like Clair though, why would he have a scar?

I like how Peter is the anti-Sylar, but has a bit of a darkside in him.

As far as the whole Peter and the scar thing, I have heard lots of discussion about this....this discussion includes:

a) Peter meets up with Hiro and mentions his run in with Sylar...and the fact that he doesn't have a scar to show from it gives Hiro hope that the future can be changed.

b) Something happens (gets knocked out perhaps) to Peter such that while he is able to escape Sylar, he is not able to heal the cut before it heals over to become a scar.

There are probably other theories, but I can't remember them at the moment.

I'm loving how all the characters are interconnected and "battle lines" are beginning to be drawn (as well as a glimpse at who is at the head of each)
