I was referring to the_hoodies post. Sylar is still alive, he was in the collaberation of upcoming scenes after the end of the episode during the credit saying "Show me whats really going on here" to some woman.

Btw: Thanks Mat 

Aw shit I didn't watch the credits.

Hiro and his story is a little boring to me, what with Kensai being gaijin and all. I knew something like this would happen, but it's a little cheesy. Ando looks weirder and him being friends with Heroes dad suspended my disbelief for a second there. (Irony.)

Have you been keeping up with the webcomics? In one of them Ando was trying to get with Hiro's sister and he ended up inadvertantly beating off a bunch of motorcycle punks and sort of earned the respect of George Takei.

I am sort of hoping that we don't have TOO MANY new characters and shit. ie. I'm hoping that the kid Claire met is Sylar or someone (did he kill Betty I forget but he may have gotten some sort of power) and not just some random new kid. I mean yeah really likely it's NOT SYLAR or anybody important but I really dislike LOL RANDOM KID NEW CAST MEMBER WITH NO PURPOSE.

Mr. Bennete is totally kicking ass. That scene where he kicked his bosses ass. It seemed a bit out of character at first but when you think of all the SHIT this dude has been through it's understandable and totally fucking awesome. He's actually probably my favorite character now despite not having any powers or anything.

Nathan's vision in the mirror was interesting too. He might have been seeing the way he was HORRIBLY SCARRED in the Peter explosion but somehow Peter used his healing power's to help Nathan?

Maya and Alejandro have potential but hopefully they don't become another Nikki/DL/Micah storyline. Like I said I hope they stop with all the NEW CHARACTERS and just spend more time with the ones people actually care about (The Benettes, Matt Parkman, Hiro, etc).

I also am not a fan of the Takezo Kensei storyline arc but then again I never really liked the samurai/feudal japan bullshit.

EDIT: According to Wikipedia Maya and Alejandro: a Honduran who is on the run from the police. Under stress, she can create a virus which is immediately fatal to those around her. Her brother, Alejandro, is the antidote to the virus. Might this have to do with the virus Mohinder is researching and perhaps the key to the antidote?

EDIT AGAIN: I just read the most recent comic- about this West kid. As annoying as I found him in the show I actually liked that comic about him. hopefully they can recapture that in later episodes because from what I've seen of him so far in the first episode here made me hate him.

...Yep. He gained the respect, exactly. He threw some things off the motorcycle and the rest were scared off by Hiro's dad with a katana. They weren't BEST BUDS at that point. I guess they were both in that situation because they are both strongly connected to Hiro, but...

Yeah, Claire's new 'friend' looks cool. He seems like a real interesting character, almost with a Hiro-esque thankfulness for his powers. Both him and Nathan flying, though... He seems more of a flier than Nathan.

The face Nathan saw in the mirror was Peters (but with burned skin), I guess he was trying to remember him or something. What do you guys think about the electric guy that was near the end?

What electric guy?

That was kind of weird that Peter used a lightning bolt to repel one of those guys looking for the iPods.  Where did he get the power of lightning from?

wait who did ando beat off?

i mean things might be strange in japan but....

- I believe that Nathan is alive because He picked Peter up, started flying, and then when they reached a high enough altitude, let go.

 - The face that Nathan saw in the mirror was his own, BUT he saw himself horribly disfigured because that is how he last remembers Peter, and wishes he were the one who would have "died."  Nathan, Mrs. Petrelli, etc. have no idea Peter is alive. Shadowtext is 169% wrong.

 - That kid in Claire's school is just some new kid, new power.  He WAS hovering outside her window.  It is not Sylar, just a new character.  I did read somewhere that apparently Sylar gains Candice's power somehow (She was the one who projects an illusion) though, but this is not him.

I'm fairly sure that wasn't Peter. The only time I've seen Peter in the episode was when Nathan looked into the mirror, even though it wasn't really Peter, it was just Nathan remembering him.

No, I think it was Peter. The company probably got to him and COMMENCE BRAINWASHING, hence his necklace. I didn't see lightning, but... I'll check again. Interesting. I thought it was just telekineses.

It is peter, it was completely obvious, get your eyes checked Aztec

all I really want to see is how the hell Nathan is alive and cooler stuff about drunken englishman

Alright, I rewatched that part, I guess his hair (or lack thereof) threw me off. I do need to get my eyes checked.

My favorite line: "Oh, no. I broke history."

Although the reason he'll end up doing it has changed, I still stand by the prediction that Hiro is going to end up being the one that all the stories of Kensei are about.

That was my theory after Season 1 ended as well..

But damn yo, Nathan went emo (how'd he survive the blast anyway.. he's got no regeneration).. And who are these 9? Linderman, Mrs.Petrelli and Sulu were all in that group? And that guy who killed Sulu.. I wonder if he's the same one that came into Molly's dreams (maybe not)?

Kensei is.. a white English guy? Aw hell no.. and Sylar's bound to show up again soon but this guy Molly was dreaming about is gonna be the strongest villain..

So far so good.. can't wait for Episode 2

I think they were some of the first people to be infected with the gene, and kind of formed a group and stuck together, I do want to know who is assassinating them though.

But damn yo, Nathan went emo

Emos don't have badass beards and go to bars. Nathan took more of the hopeless-drunkard route.

^Yup, just rewatched that part. I don't think the person who killed Sulu has been introduced yet, unless there was a white guy who could survive falling off buildings in the last season (besides Peter).
