8. From what I've heard from him in his interviews-
no. He talks about being six scripts ahead.

Did you know he's married to a Dixie Chick?

37. I knew who he was married to
but when I've mentioned it to people in RL (just her name) they had no idea who she was. Wasn't until I said she was a DC that they immediately ID'd her.

9. 6 weeks,
give or take.

next one is January 22-when they are supposed to introduce the invisible man. (I don't call that a spoiler since the producer has stated this in interviews.)

I'll duck out of the thread now, to be on the safe side. I've also got it set up on the DVR in case the kids' bedtime routines run long (they are masters at stalling!).

36. And it's definitely not a show for the younger ones!
Callie's been screaming to watch it-someone in her class does.

I've told her that there is no way she can watch it right now.

I love Hiro. He is too cute, especially when he scrunches up his nose to time travel.

You just can't predict where the show is going.

19. Wait... wait...
Peter must still turn out to be good because when Hiro comes from the future to meet Peter on the subway he says
"I didn't recognize you without your scar". So clearly Hiro knows him quite well. And did you notice that Claire looked at
Peter and said "I'm sorry" in this vision from tonight?

I am guessing Peter lives- with a scar.

Don't know anything else but F*ck me this episode was good

30. Peter is not dead
He is officially the problem. I suspect its something along the lines of he doesn't control the powers he absorbs when he first comes into contact with them. They just start happening to him until he gets a handle on it. Mr Nuke's power being picked up by Peter would be a bad thing for a few seconds. But then thats all it really needs to be.

Mr Nuke and Peter cannot meet. It would be .... far too exciting.

Interviews w/ Tim Kring have all said that he's getting a mentor to learn how to control his powers.

Those eyes, that smile-I even love his ears!

Don't even get me started on CE! He's one of my biggest crushes. (Well, him and Trent Reznor but that's another thread.)

There's just one thing: I just paid a visit to the IMDB boards, and they're saying his super-power will be invisibility!

Where's the fun in that? (for us, I mean)

48. they spoiled that nearly a month ago
on 9th Wonder and the NBC boards.

His character's name is Claude-after Claude Rains, the original Invisible Man.

And think about this-he will be Peter's mentor so I'm sure that we'll see quite a bit of him. Remember, Peter will be able to take on his powers.

56. But
if there are many scenes w/ CE and MV then there won't be that many invisible scenes.

They will be able to see each other, since Peter can mimic powers. This is the way that the writers can allow us to see CE most of the time.

Peter was in Texas and Ted (radiation) was in LA.

Peter must meet him soon.

My only question is, how was Peter able to dream about the future? I wonder if there was someone in a holding cell nearby who had that power. Otherwise :shrug:

32. So the Haitian apparently has an agenda of his own.
Things have certainly taken an interesting turn. My only question right now is this: I'm wondering what the costumes for some of the other heroes will be (we already know what Hiro's will be).

43. If they have costumes.
If they even make it that long. According to interviews we will be losing more Heroes as time goes on.

I really wonder if his agenda is bad or not. He has powers-I think he truely believes that Claire should remember everything going on for her own good.

35. I am SO pissed we have to wait till Jan 22 for the next episode.
If I fall asleep into one of my olde crotchety naps, I set the alarm for 8:55. I catch KO at Midnight. No sir, no missy Heroes.

And I am not sure who is a good guy now with the Jamaican erasing minds.

44. I'm wondering exactly what the agenda is
w/ the Haitian. He finally spoke so I would guess that he's going to step forward next episode or two (I hate waiting) to explain what's up.

55. I don't think it's against his will.
If I had powers I'd work for him. He seems to have the most knowledge of what's going on.

A little bit of knowledge seems to go a long way on the show.

50. Peter's sickness and dream
It's been pretty much confirmed via interviews that his illness was caused by overloading on powers--in rapid succession he gained Sylar's, Claire's, Matt's, possibly the Haitian's, and Nathan's.

Also, the explosion at the end supposedly foreshadows his mega overload that causes him to nova (it wasn't a radiation Ted style explosion). Claude is the guy who's going to try and teach Peter how to control everything before it happens.

51. Okay, *that* makes sense
In his dream he was around most of the other heroes (of the ones we've met so far, anyway) when the "overload" happened. Can't wait for the show to return in January!

Turns out I'm not the only person on this board eagerly anticipating the arrival of Eccleston. And Claude is the one who will teach him control, per various interviews.

He keeps the powers for a temporary amount of time after the person he sucked him from leavesthey're not permanent, but we haven't been told how long he keeps them for yet.
