As I and a couple of other people have touched on before, I believe she may be one of the “bad guys”. My stance on the matter has changed slightly, however. While at first I thought she might become one of the “bad guys”, I’m now starting to believe she already is and has been one of the bad guys for quite some time and her “good side” just doesn’t know it. If 'twere the case, they (Cheerleader’s father and Co.) probably already know everything they need to know about her…
I’m 99% sold on this, I’m willing to bet that her estranged husband definitely has some things to tell her about her ‘reflection’.

I agree, I think that she is pretty much at this point not really a “villian”, at least not yet, just that when someone crosses her they’re in deep doo doo. And perhaps it is her alter ego (no shit) what I mean is her dark side, like when she went back with the politician which her good side didn’t, she didn’t want to mess with a married man.
So far Hiro is the most interesting character, he chose the nurse as the messenger for something that will be coming… why not tell himself? Or prevent it himself? Shit I’d go back and tell myself to make better choices, then again it may cause other problems…

Looks like in the future assuming the nuke goes off the heroes become fighters of some sort. Think every post-apocalyptic comic/anime ever.

I had already assumed from the very first episode, even before we knew about the nuke fallout, that they were all going to be grouped into a team of some sort eventually. I kind of figured Suresh would be a Professor X of sorts.
Guess my mind has just been trained to think that way after reading comic books, X-Men especially, for years.

I’m starting to think lil’ Petrelli might be the leader of the future or something along those lines. I started to get a very “Terminator-esque, Kyle-Reese-coming-back-to-save-John-Connor” kind of feel when Samurai Hiro came back to “give him a message”…

I’m thinking along those lines myself. A lot of people seem to think Peter’s power is to mimic the powers of whomever he’s near. If that’s the case, that would make him pretty powerful and probably immune to Sylar or the only ‘mutant’ that can actually stop him.
There have been alot of comments about Nikki’s tattoo and the black guy’s necklace. But nobody seems to remember where else that pattern was found. If you watch the episode where Mohinder is looking at his father’s DNA program, that same curved pattern appears within the DNA sequence. I think that the cheerleader’s dad is using that pattern as a marker for his people. Just a thought.
Lets not forget that her tattoo of that symbol only appeared when she was her alter-ego. When the man with the horn rimmed glasses, and the black dude, showed up in the hotel room to take one of them, the tattoo was gone from her back. Supposedly it is also on Hiro’s Katana when he appears in the subway. I’ve heard this symbol is close to the genetic representation of RNA.
I know that the nurse repeatedly mentions having drawn the future after being in contact with Isaac, but was this ever actually shown? Just curious if I missed that bit or something.
If you haven’t been reading the comics, you really should. They are pretty short and add quite a bit to the storyline. For instance, after the issue on Nathan, I no longer believe he’s set to be a villain. In fact, I’m quite sure he is being set up as an unwilling good-guy.
that episode was cool. it seems Hiro learned a little better english too! i immediatly thought when everything froze for the gay Pitrelli that he was able to use other peoples powers. He mentioned the drawing thing, he did the flying, and i thought he had frozen time. either way… its a very awesome show

He drew the picture while he was in the hospital of himself walking on air to his brother.
Hiro in Subway, “You look different without your scar” That was cool, they met in the future so either what happened did not work or they need to “tweak” things. Very Terminatoresque I agree. I don’t think the nurse character is gay unless I missed something because he did have a thing for the artist’s gal. I watched the episode again last night with my son, he thought he heard something about a meteriorite hitting NY? Back to Hiro, I think he went back in time, learned the Samurai ways and went into the future to learn English in an efficiant manner and maybe by chance bumped into the nurse character then and the nurse character gave him the messeage to deliver in the past, like “Hermes” in greek mythology.
“-the ancient Greek herald and messenger of the gods and the god of roads, commerce, invention, cunning, and theft. Compare Mercury”
OK, maybe a little over the top.
I also think that his name will be mixed up with the term “hero” lost in translation kind of thing. I’ll stop now.

My dubiousness of this is based solely on this photo.

It’s a very common artistic interpretation of RNA or ssDNA, yes.

If you don’t read TV Guide or Wikipedia, you really should, they give away little bits of the story.

I use wikipedia pretty often. Utterly fascinatiting some of the entries people have made. But anyways. It has mentioned what the younger brothers power is for quite a while. It also has episode guides up for the next couple, which give you a lot of hints about what the current situation is. I.E. where D.L. is, and what his power is, whether Matt’s dead, or lost his power, etc…

Eh, I could be way off base, but I don’t think it has anything to do with a promo photo. Those can be shot any number of ways for seemingly no reason whatsoever.
The picture does raise two more questions for me, however…who is the girl on the far right? And who is the guy to the left of young Petrelli? It doesn’t look like the dad’s henchman from that picture…
BTW, I think I’m going to start another non-spoiler thread on this show, only for discussing episodes that have actually aired up to the moment. I don’t have a problem with anything anyone has said in this thread, I just don’t feel like it’s really my right to take it over and say “No spoilers”, considering I didn’t start the thread.
I’m just afraid some of this stuff that’s going up early on Wiki is going to leak out here and ruin something for me. No fun in that
Okay, I know I started this thread, but I haven’t been reading it because I was unable to catch episodes 2-4 until last night, and I also watched tonight’s episode, so I’m all caught up now.
I see now that I should have mentioned in the title that there are spoilers in this thread, so I’ll edit the thread’s name now.
I’ll catch up with the thread here in a little while, I just wanted to show up in here again and say that I think this is the best show I’ve ever seen so far, and it’s only had 5 episodes so far.

just curious
yeah, looks like it is proximity based. Not sure if its a “closer = stronger” thing or has a set radius for him to be able to copy another’s powers though.
And I am curious to see if by duping someone’s powers he becomes immune of sorts, kinda like how the future Hiro’s time freeze never affected him. Could mean he is a big deal in defeating Sylar and co.
[/quote]
I didn’t read every post after this, so I apologize if it’s already been said, but…
I think his power is a great set-up to really be able to take on Sylar. If they ever meet, the male nurse guy will have the same power(s) as Sylar. That would be a great confrontation.
Another thought that just popped into my head…the cheerleader’s father is most likely the one who killed that frozen guy with his head half cut off, and that other guy with the same head injury.
It’s like he’s looking for the powers of the hero’s through their brains, which would make sense out of the part when the cheerleader couldn’t heal herself until the stick was removed from her brain. Maybe they all carry their powers within their brains, and that’s the villains’ whole motivation for going after them.
I don’t know why the cop was let go, though, still having his powers, but he doesn’t remember than one day.

I think the father is not as bad as he may be shown to be. I’m pretty sure Sylar is the one cutting out the brains and somehow absorbing their powers into himself.
Future Hiro: “I’m risking a rift just by coming here” by this I was assuming some sort of paradox?
DL: Didn’t really see him at all till the end and he has the whole phasing power I wonder what next episode will be like it looks like “crazy” Nikki throws him into a wall or soemthing.
Peter: First real flight! Pretty funny when he lands and burns up his feet a bit.
Nathan: Uses the artists power better than the artist can, however he does lack a lot of the artistic talent, though his drawings get the point across.
Cop: Abducted, tested on? and then let go? This leads me to believe that the father is not as bad as I believed him to be originally and IMO this debunks him or the black guy as Sylar.

You have the brothers confused. Nathan is the flying congressman, Peter is the nurse mimic.
