I am not even sure that Claire is ‘the cheerleader’ in need of saving. Remember, it was her rival who claimed responsibility for saving the firefighter. It is possible that Sylar goes after the wrong girl and the heroes have to save the ‘normal’ girl, not Claire.

Damn! Good idea. I wouldn’t have thought of that, but that would make sence and throw a twist in the show.
Episode 7 was pretty cool and once again you see the Heroes being drawn together in this case Hiro and DL and it looks like we know what Micah’s power is now, it is something akin to Forge if I’m not mistaken? but then Micah knew the difference between Nikki and the darker personality? hm? Part of his power or just the bond between son and mother?
Matt the cop - sucks that his wife is cheating on him but good stuff for catching the radioactive guy.
“youtube is free you idiot!” ha!

Good call! I’ve missed about half the episodes, and didn’t even remember hearing about that until you mentioned it. That sounds like the most plausible scenario.
The bad guy uses radioactive guy to make the explosion. Kind of the same way that Magneto used Rogue in the movie. The cheerleader is some how the one that can stop the explosion (that’s a hole I can’t fill) and they must save here not from the explosion but beforehand so that she may stop it.
That or the guy that can abosrb and use powers is the key and with out the cheerleader he will die. He must have all of the “heros” so as to be able to defeat the “bad guy”. This is why they are all being drawn together.
Just ideas…

Good point. By their powers combined, he can become some sort of freakish captain planet, stopping nuclear men from destroying our ecosystem!
i something wrong with their website???
i have not been able to view the old episodes all week.

NCIS is cool heroes is boring (this drawn from the pilot episode)
Episode 8
Hiro - Go Hiro flirting with that waitress…I wonder what happens that causes him not to come back, perhaps being waylaid by Sylar along the way? Also that picture at the end with him and the waitress? Did that happen this episode or did that happen after he went back to the past? I remember them showing that bulletin board earlier.
Matt - So now they theorize that these powers were done to him and radioactive guy? You were manifesting before you were abducted so how does that theory hold any water? I want him to leave his whore of a wife! “You banged my best friend and now you want to know if I want to still be with you? How about…HELL NO!” heh
Issac - So he almost totally kicked the habit but Mr. Bennett just had to know and wham back into it.
Mr. Bennett - Ok so they know all about Sylar and people have been manifesting their powers longer than it looks like 15+years? since something happened to Claires parents? While not evil, I think he is ruthless in he will do what it takes to get the job done. Why not just remove Claire from the situation that will endager her life to begin with? Throw her on a plane and ship her off somewhere? Hm?
AGAIN i ask, is anybody else having problems watching the re-runs on the NBC rewind website?
I’m beginning to lose faith in the writing of the show. The idea was creative and they have some interesting quirks, but I’m pessimistic:
Does the “save the world” phrase, necessarily means from nuclear holocaust? The artist has predicted much with the painting, thus far, none has been prevented (right?). Further, in the future, Hiro actually saw the blast, if it was prevented, how did he see it? If they stop the bomb, they’re going to have to pull some impressive logic out of their asses (or just ignore it) and I’m pretty sure they won’t convince me. If they don’t stop the bomb, this is rapidly going to turn into a Scifi show that I don’t think I’ll continue to watch.
Addendum: Claire presumably has heroic immunity (and has possibly already been exposed). Were a plague to break out, a nuclear blast would be a sufficient way to annihilate it.

I was trying to watch 30 rock on the 2nd and couldn’t get rewind to work. I tried again on the 8th and it worked as usual. I tried Heroes as I was posting this and so far so good.
Have you tried a different browser?
yes, explorer and mozilla

The first time they showed the picture, she was by herself, so Hiro did go back and visited her. Whether or not he was able to change anything remains to be seen.
I thought that killing that waitress was messed up. Or Sylar is messed up, rather. Why would you kill someone like that? He’s a bastard!!
Well, I think that Mr. Bennet and co probably experiment or do something to the people they abduct to enable them to use their powers better or make them stronger. This seems to have some side effects though.
So Sylar isn’t the guy who was working with the cheerleader’s father, to help capture and release those with the powers.
Anyone with those scars on their neck would be those who have already been experimented on by the cheerleader’s father.
Sylar is looking for anyone with special powers to absorb their powers by sucking out their brains, or just wants to kill them all for some reason.
The cheerleader’s father is trying to catch anyone with special powers to experiment on them for an unknown reason, possibly to help his daughter, but possibly for an ulterior motive.
Does that sound about right so far?

I think that about sums it up. 
Did anyone ever watch the old Highlander show where there was a special group of people know as the “Watchers”? They just keep an eye on the immortals. It’s similar here except for the fact that they aren’t really sitting this one out.
So what about this: Hiro goes back in time and meets up with the waitress again. HE is the one who teaches her the word “sweet” which she later repeats in the diner. So he is successful at traveling back, but unsuccessful in preventing her death. Because as soon as he pops out and Ando counts “3, 4, 5” the whole timeline would have changed.
This could get really confusing.
What is Syler’s motivation? I, too, thought he was absorbing people’s power by stealing their brains. Else what’s the point of the brain removal? But we’ve only seen him do the telekinesis thing, with the coffee cup, the FBI chick’s pistol, and possibly the unseen implement that carved up our waitress’s skull.
I’m becoming concerned that this show will end up like Lost. If they prevent the big explosion, then what happens to the show? That seems like the obvious conclusion to its run. And even if it continues the writers will make it more and more nonsensical.

He went back far enough to apparently become friends w/ her and therefore be invited to her brithday. Remember she noted that she got the Japanese book as a gift at her brithday party 8 mos ago, but she’s just begun reading it the previous week.
Hiro is such a playa!
Once he finds out that chick is interested in him, he goes back in time, like the pimp that he is, to hook up with her.
He also just leaves his friend behind, which breaks the friendship rule #1: Bro’s before hoes.
