What about the frozen guy? I can see Sylar having just TK, but the frozen guy makes me think that he has multiple powers.

Apprently the guy who plays Hiro is a big time Special Effects programmer for ILM and would love to bring all his co-workers in for an episode (read lots of special effects).

If you can use TK on individual atoms, you could stop them moving, causing a temperature drop, and then ice would form from condensation from the surrounding atmosphere.

But that would be dang powerful TK.

[EDIT: Cool Wired article. He really does steal every scene he's in.]

Dangit, I always forget about the ice. Well, um, I'm with Ookla on this one--it's molecular TK.

And yes, I think that Sylar is different from Claire's dad and the psychic bald guy.

I was thinking that Sylar could be Nikki's husband, but this last episode placed a lot of doubts on that front.

I'm not sure I liked this episode, possibly because it focused so heavily on Niki and I don't really like her. Her powers still don't seem like powers, just being crazy, and nothing happened with anybody else. At least we finally confirmed that Mohinder's neighbor is a double agent--several people have suspected it for a while, but I never saw any credence to it until they came right out and said it.

On the other hand, I'm liking Claire's father more and more. He's a very cool, very complex character.

We did see Nikki's alternate self toss DL across the room. So the theory that Nikki's alternate has super-strength is starting to gain some substance.

I actually like Nikki's character. She's not my favorite character by far, but I like her more than either of the Petrelis. I used to find the character of Isaac to be interesting, but he's turning out to be sort of a whiny jerk.

Nikki's husband intrigues me, but doesn't engage me yet.

I'm was miffed that they never showed what happened to the Cop when he passed out in the convenience store. I hate it when cliff-hangers keep hanging around.

Karen brought up this question--how come Other-Niki doesn't just take over all the time?

42 · « **Reply #53 on:** October 31, 2006, 07:43:32 PM »

If Nikki has multiple personality disorder (now officially known as disassociative identity disorder), neither one of her persona's gets to take over. The personalities just come and go. A therapist could actually control the change in personalies momentarily, but he/she is likely to create other personalities in the process. Which would be cool if Nikki developed other personalities that each had their own unique super-power.

I had a sort-of epiphany last night, and I'm curious to see if I end up being right.

I don't think Claire's dad is the real "bad guy" in this season. He may be later, but this season is all about saving Claire and stopping the nuke in NY. Last night made me believe that he really does care about Claire, and is NOT the one the heroes need to stop from hurting her.

So who, besides Sylar, is going to end up being one of the villians? How about a homicidal maniac whose motivations, just this last episode, were definitely shown to be less than rational? That's right, Nikki. I think Nikki is going to start giving in more and more to her psychotic (and supernaturally strong) alter-ego.

I'm convinced Nikki isn't Sylar, so that still leaves one thread hanging. But I wouldn't be surprised if they came together and joined up sometime this season.

I was thinking the same thing the other night. It could make for a great twist if it turns out to be Nikki's super-powered, sociopathic side that is really the main villain.

I really want Matt and Nikki to meet up. I little mind scan could uncover some stuff.

(Paul) Sylar is being played by Sean Bean. So that answers that question. And apparently the trend of 'British actor = villain' continues.

Tage · « **Reply #57 on:** November 01, 2006, 08:42:08 PM »

Well, because of that I *finally* looked up Heroes on IMDB. I could've sworn when we got a shadowed look at Sylar it was a black guy. Oh well. I'd feel sorry for Sean Bean playing yet another bad guy, but he's just so good at it.

Also, I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but Claire's dad hasn't officially been given a name. At least now I know why I could never remember his name and kept having to call him Claire's dad.

Fellfrosch · « **Reply #58 on:** November 02, 2006, 04:37:46 PM »

I tried to convince Ent that Niki was going to be a major villain, and he shut me down with that same imdb entry. That kind of thing is hard to argue with.

Between the two of us we came up with the following theory, however: this is apparently the Claire season, in which we try to save her, and watch her gain some maturity, and (we assume) ultimately find out who her real parents are. If that is the case, and if Sylar is really the bad guy of the season, then it follows with irrefutable narrative logic that Sylar must be her father.
