Heroes Season 1(#7)---11/06/06-'Nothing to Hide'

[DonTadow]

I'm still watching the show, but I'm getting impatient. The characters feel too disconnected from each other. They only meet here and there, only to separate a few minutes later. Like with Hiro and Niki's husband and kid last night. I felt like cheering for a half-second, then realized they'd probably go their own way quickly, and that's just what happened. IMO the characters really need to start forming long-term (as in, lasting several episodes at the least) associations.

Oh, and will Claire's rescue (or at least, the events that will lead to her needing rescue) get on the road anytime soon? At this pace, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the frickin' season finale.

This is starting to feel like Lost; lots of hints and teases, an occasional crumb to keep viewers watching, but never a really satisfying payoff. I dumped Lost at the end of the first season because of that - now I'm starting to wonder if I should do the same with Heroes.

Perhaps movies are more your fit? seriously. I don't get the complaining against Lost and Heroes. We didnt know if Sam would get back home until the last episode of Quantum Leap, though he kept getting close here and there. WE didnt know if The emisarry would truly be the savoir of the galaxy until Sisko sacraficed himself in the last episode of ds9. We didnt know if Aerun and Crichton would get together until... well heck the movie after the season finale. all these were great series and kept us hanging for a long time. It's the journey that is fun not hte payoff. What's left after the last page of a book? nothing. I hope they don't really get together until next season or the season after that. Because after they get together what is there to look forward too.

I'd really expect that as the season finale, along with preventing Sylar from nuking New York.

After all, they are using "Save the Cheerleader, save the world" as a tagline for a show, the episode where that pays off better be a finale or cliffhanger or something other than just another episode early in the first season.

Well saw the kid's power come to light, saw that from 1st show. Did not really get my question answered if Nikki is a Dorrin Grey but think so.

Mostly filler.

Dorian Gray.

I don't think this episode was filler at all. Isn't it pretty clear than radioactive man may BE the nuclear explosion? And suddenly, there is an angle for why Claire's power may be so important. She may be the -only one- who can get close enough to radioactive man without dying en route to keep him from going up. Or, rather, Hiro might be able to get close, but he wouldn't survive long enough in real time to effect the changes that were needed to save everything.

I think it is combo, they have to work together, Claire is just part of the puzzle, mostly likely to get horn rimmed glasses to unite them. I don't think Claire could make it by herself, her brain has to be working and don't see how it could if hit with that much radation. I see Peter, using all the powers as the key.

Truth Seeker, I'm curious where you get this info. Specifically, I thought I had heard that Sean Bean wasn't going to be involved in Heroes...

And whether or not Mr. Bean is involved, the text description seems inaccurate on a number of points. Certainly, my TiVo didn't record anything about Claire's dad getting surprising news, and Hiro began his questioning last episode....

I found the following on the TV.com Heroes Episode Guide - note that the page containst spoilers for future episodes:

"Niki opens up to a friend when her son becomes the subject of a crisis. Hiro overcomes his doubts about his heroism. Nathan and his wife come up with a strategy to win the election and Peter provides some unexpected assistance. Claire finds out what happened to her missing video tape. Matt and Audrey continue their investigation of the serial killer Sylar."

Duh to me. that's an good hypothesis. But, wasn't this radioactive guy a serial killer. I left this episode thinking that the guy arrested wasn't the same serial killer. This guy killed that doctor , what sounds like by mistake.

He wasn't. He killed the doctor because he lost control of his powers when he found out the doctor couldn't save his wife from, the cancer he had most likley given her.

I wonder what happens to make him nuke New York and how it is connected to Claire?

I wonder what happens to make him nuke New York

What if he is not the one that Nuke's NYC. We know that Peter can borrow others powers when he is near them. What if he takes Mr. Nuke's powers and is unable to control them.

Wait isnt there a serial killer still out there (Siris) whom has the same power as the Nuke guy?
