Ah flashbacks, any excuse to not follow on from the plot lines of the last episode.

Ah well, at least we get to see what Hiro's been up to.

But Hiro going back in time is a plot line from last episode.

Hopefully, we'll gain some insight as to how people became 'special', and maybe we can understand what's up with Niki/Jessica.

I like non-linear stories. They force you to remember events and pay attention to details. We did kind of start this whole thing in the middle of the beginning, so to speak -- I'm looking forward to seeing the beginning of the beginning. Plus it makes sense that this kind of thing will happen in a show that allows time travel.

I am most interested in seeing more of the teaser, Jessica/Nikki holding the guy by the neck as it looks like the house where the cop found the kid, which really is a turn of events.

I'll support the original poster by pedantically noting that it's really more from episode-before-last.

Yatta!!!!!

*cough*

Okay, I totally called Sylar being able to detect heroes. Even if was a loony theory, I was right!

On the other hand, poor Hiro!!!

 

[Kaodi]

I don't think it can be simplified down to that.

I think Sylar's power is to understand. What he can understand, he can control or reproduce, in himself. I don't think Sylar detects heroes so much as he understands the connections that cause them to be where they are. Sylar takes brains to study them, I'm guessing, to take them apart and see how they work.

If it comes down to Sylar versus Peter, it will be one hell of a fight. I think it will come down to who can use the others power against them first would win. If Sylar understands how Peter works first, Sylar wins, and if Peter copies and achieves Sylar's understanding first, Peter wins. They almost seem evenly matched. Maybe the winner will be decided by their humanity rather than their power, if their powers cancel each other out.

You're probably right.

Good stuff tonight. I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't an origins episode, but I got that notion from someone posting here, not from the promotional stuff, so I can't blame NBC.

I thought it was pretty well spelled out that Sylar can detect heroes. Of course, I could be self-fulfilling the whole thing, but:

Sylar mentions how he's a clockmaker - he knows broken things. It's his destiny - like Matt is a cop, Peter is a nurse... okay, that's all I've got so far as powers matching destiny. Sylar can clearly see the "genetic abnormality" (Chandra's words exactly) as being broken in the hero with TK - which he plainly steals.
