Heroes Season 1(#8)---11/13/06-'Seven Minutes to Midnight'

[Fast Learner]

The file from Mohinder's dad's drawer says "SANJOG, Iyer", which doesn't evoke Sylar/Silar to me, but it's also not the name of Mohinder's little sister, whose last name is presumably Suresh (like papa and son) and whose first name is Shanti. I assumed the dream kid must have been the sister, too, but it looks like it's someone else.

Lots of revelations here, very nice!

Someone above asked what we learned of Claire's backstory: my recollection was of Mr. Bennett saying that when they deal with these cases (heroes), some go smoothly and some not-so-well. In dealing with a case years ago that didn't go well, Claire's parents were killed and the Bennetts adopted Claire.

It just occurred to me that the waitress indicated that she'd only gained her powers a few days earlier... I wonder if it was on her birthday.

S.IYER does not envoke SYLAR, mmmmmm.

I’m not totally convinced that Sylar is going to go after Claire. I think he is going to go for the other blonde cheerleader who took the credit for saving the guy from the fire. Sylar went after the waitress who had no qualms about revealing her power (although she didn’t realize it was a power). I think he heard about her abilities so went after her.

Now, Claire didn’t take credit for rescuing the guy from the fire…the other cheerleader did and it probably has become fairly well known now so I think Sylar is going after the other cheerleader.

We learned:


- Evil Dad knows that Sylar will kill Claire-bear tomorrow, at homecoming (how does he know that?)

The homecoming sign was in the painting.

Loved it!!! Thankfully it looks like it won't take all season to get to the save the cheerleader part.

THat might be at start. I can see Sylar killing the fake and Claire just being there and try to help her. Then Sylar learns of her powers that way and then Claire gets in trouble.

I get the impression that NBC did not figure this was going to be such a hit. A lot f new shows only do 9 shows these days and hope to get picked up for the remained of the season, filming 13 if the show is picked up, to be shown after the holidays (Jan 2007). Very few do 22 shows anymore. As this is number 8, looks like it was done this way.

Man, eatting the brain of a blonde cheerleader that does not have super powers, there is a dumb blonde joke here somewhere. Guess that could explain the bad guy making stupid mistakes that allow the heroes to take him out!

Agreed. I think that saving Claire-bear is the 'halfway point' (roughly speaking), and the end of the season will be saving NYC (the world)

Actually, the more accurate tagline would be: Save the Cheerleader, Save the Network
