I don't know if he has any other powers, but the regeneration power he has seems to make him immortal. Sort of like Highlander. I also noted him telling Hiro to cut off his head and kill him. Next thing you know, he'll be saying, "there can be only one!"

They should hire my husband to be a writer on this show! Last week he said that Kensei was going to show up in present day as the guy directing Parkman's dad. I wish you could have seen the look of triumph on his face last night at the end of the episode.

I was right there with him.. because WHY else did they have go and establish this past timeline? I knew it wasn't an isolated story..

Next episode seems to be one that is a must see...


The amazing thing is that if Hiro is alive he could change it all at any point.. if he had complete control over his power. He could jump back to before the kiss and never do it. This guy gives a whole new meaning of 20/20 hindsight etc. But Hiro either is limited to specific time streams or not bright enough to figure it out.

Essentially he could spend eternity on a perfect sunny day. Reverse, play, Reverse, play, etc.

I kept waiting for that to happen last week. Maybe it was the Opium smoke that filled his brain and he didnt think about it.

The few times that he has tried to correct history haven't worked out too well. He tried to save the waitress, Charlie, but she ended up dieing anyway. Maybe he just figures that it's all fate, and he can't really alter the time stream in any real positive way.

Here's a link to an interesting interview with Tim Kring, the creator of Heroes.

Yes, I liked it, although it didn't quite live up to its claim to "answer all the questions." I liked the Kristen Bell character a lot less - she seems really immature. More on the evil wonder twins? Did we really need/care about that backstory? Was that a burning question in our hearts?

Here's my suggestion: I think some of the discontent from this season is the fact that the whole first season we felt these heroes were getting together and would actually be heroes in the more traditional sense of the word, which only a few have been. I'd actually like to see more of them doing things together for people that don't personally affect them. Like DL, run into burning buildings - stop a mugging - throw around some criminals.

Here's my prediction: Kanzei/Adam is the ancestor/granddaddy of most or all of the heroes.

Here's my fear: These last three episodes of "Heroes" will be the last in this style/incarnation for a while. We know it will be the last until at least the spring if not fall. I can't imagine these actors/actresses waiting around, putting their lives on hold, hoping this writer's strike will pass.

Yeah, it was great. I will probably rewatch it today. I too was hoping for them to give us more. It is gong to be interesting to see where all this is going.

I think Bob has made Ell into what she is by keeping her in all the time. The same thing that HRG is doing to Claire. HRG is pushing her away more and more by these actions than helping. A lesson for all of us parents I think. LOL...... An extreme is not going to help...

Yeah, they're setting her up to be a villian.

Word. Just let Sylar stink their brains out already.

Yeah, I liked the DL scene. Made me sad about the random way he was killed.

Hence the name Adam? You're probably right.

Yeah, but what else are the actors gonna do? There aren't any other shows being produced either, and movies are gonna shut down after awhile too, due to the writers strike. Can't go to broadway, now that they are on strike too. What's left? "Circus of the Stars" and "Celebrity Fit Club"?

Is their storyline even crucial to the show? no my favorite

Me too. Do some good for individuals rather than each other or the planet as a whole.

As for DL, we know he can walk thru wall or solid matter. The dude dancing with his at the club throws a punch and his hand goes right thru DL's head. How then can a bullet kill him, was it made of silver? :roll:

DL has to consciously activate his phasing power. It looked to me like the guy came up behind him and shot him before he knew that there was a gun in play, so he couldn't phase.

I liked last nights better than the previous... again.. wonder twins deactivate.

We thought Adam was bad.. but now it appears he might be reformed or have the better ideal? I like that twist... and always wondered why Peter's brother always saw that burned man in the mirror. Bravo on that storyline.

DL survives.. then dies again. How lame, lame, lame. Phase or not to phase.. that gun shot thing got REALLY old... twice.

Finally.. Peter, Peter.. with his memories back (cool that he can apparently HEAL that back, eh) .. should REALLY have flexed his muscles against the memory man and especially the shock chick... do you think Sylar would have run? Nope he would have taken immediate control of the situation.

Looking forward to the next ones..
