Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Heroes is back! And thankfully we are now in the second season, which means no more tedious character introductions and explanations of the world's workings. Except for all the tedious introductions of new characters, that is.
The new season begins four months after the conclusion of last season, with an episode aptly titled "Four Months Later". Some new characters introduced:
Apparently there was not enough teen angst last season, so the show introduces us to West, a boy that Claire meets at her new school.
West is creepy and likes to judge people.
Mirroring current events, the show has also started taking on illegal immigrants.
Maya and Alejandro, a brother and sister pair, are making their way to America. I wonder what a pair of deadly mutants would do for the immigration debate?
Next we have a new face for "The Company", which is apparently still around despite last season's setbacks.
I didn't catch this guy's name, but I'm going to nickname him Midas.
Finally, my personal favorite, new cast member Takezo Kensei, who is... a gaijin?!?
Japanese pride hits a new low.
So, I have to confess that after letting things stew for a few months, I wasn't sure I was going to be excited about Heroes again, but this season opener really pulled me back in. Anyone else feel the same way?
So presumably there's nothing more to Peter's return, than him healing back from the blast? Why the hell would their mother be saying that Nathan killed Peter?
Spoiler:
Because they think he's dead.
And I'm sure there's more to Peter's return, considering he woke up shirtless, an amnesiac, tied up inside a shipping box. Unless he just got really, really drunk after healing from the blast.
Don't Peter's powers work on him having to think specifically about the person who's power he's trying to mimic?
Spoiler:
I don't see how he could do that at the end of the episode if he's amnesiac. Therefore I speculate that another, so-far-unknown group found him after the explosion, before he regenerated and did the Six-Million-Man thing and turned him into a CYBORG.
Soo....Peter picked up Nikki/Jessica's power and is now living inside Nathan as a scarred ghost? But is at the same time handcuffed in a shipping crate in Ireland?
Random guess: he died in the explosion, and his personality got imprinted onto his brother as a copy of Jessica's power. However, his body healed thanks to Claire's power, but is currently without any memories because they're all in Nathan. No idea who's shipping him around as iPods though.

Where do you get that Peter is living inside Nathan aka Nikki's power?

He totally used his super strength to...force himself. Into Nathan's mind.

Well presumeably Nikki's power is to incorperate people's Psyche into herself, and then her sister's super power was Super Strength. Kinda makes sense that she only has super strength when she is her sister's personality.

In the last season Nikki learned to use the strength by herself. My interpretation is that the split personality ghosting was Jessica's power.
Spoiler:
Nathan looked into the mirror and saw a scarred version of himself, or Peter, not 100% sure but it doesn't really matter which. It's either related to Nikki/Jessica (which I can only imagine happening through Peter), or he's just fucking crazy.
I seem to remember there being hints that Mom had a similar power to someone else, but less complicated, which was mostly taken as being future-vision without needing to paint.
The scarred up Peter in the mirror was just Nathan torturing himself, because he thinks peter is dead. The fact that he blames himself is dumb, and the fact that ma petrelli thinks it's Nathan's fault that Peter is dead is also dumb, since they had a foregone conclusion that he would be able to survive with Claire's power. I mean, dude still blew up, no matter where he was when it happened.
I heard a theory that Nathan is the one offing the Originals. I like that theory.
I like it, other than it not jiving with Hiro's dad saying it was one of the old 12.
Spoiler:
But Linderman wasn't killed by one of the old 12, and didn't Hiro's dad say that the same guy was doing it to all of them?
Spoiler:
No, he was just sort of lamenting how many had died. And we know it was one of the old 12 because of the whole "Of all of them I never thought it would be you" line.
Do we have any idea what powers Nathan's Mom and Papa Hiro have/had?
Spoiler:
Somthing involving a sword prehaps? He did have Ando go find one so he could fight.
Spoiler:
If that were the case you would think he would at least keep a knife on him at all times. Hell, being a CEO he could probably get away with walking around with a sword.
Anyone notice that Nathan's appearance strongly resembled Peter? I know that Peter's never had a beard, but when you were looking at Nathan, I could have picked them as brothers if I saw them down the street.

Spoiler:
I was under the impression that they had pretty much stopped using their powers some time ago.
I think he sent Ando for the sword so that he wouldn't interfere, giving him a chance to take the killer with him.
Yeah.
Spoiler:
It did seem suspicious after the whole "Ando, you've been a great guy, get the fuck outta here, what? You won't leave?" He then basically just said "Fine. Get me a sword which should take you just long enough to not get killed."
edit:
Dharma, Linderman used his that one episode and I think it would be silly to not use a power unless there was a significant drawback.
Yes. Was surprised no one had mentioned it, but I figured everyone had noticed and just not bothered to post.
I noticed it, and was immediately reminded of Anchorman. Really, though, Nathan's entire character this episode reminded me of Anchorman- the beard, the drinking, the bumping into people- clearly going into space was a bad choice.

Oh jesus.
Their team is called the News. As in "New Race".
That way, Nathan can yell "NEWS-TEAM. ASSEMBLE!"
And blow a conch shell. Only to find out that they were all right there the entire time.

For some reason the guy who plays Kensei reminds me of Malcolm McDowell.
And I'm sure there's more to Peter's return, considering he woke up shirtless, an amnesiac, tied up inside a shipping box. Unless he just got really, really drunk after healing from the blast.
I am sated~
Anally.
Probably not, actually.
Was he...

Really?
C'mon
It was her dad, Nathan.
It only works within 5 feet of a tree.

Everyone is really Candice! All kinds of craziness possible when you've got a shape shifter on the loose.

I'm pretty sure it's the exact same speech the jumpsuit-guy gave him when he was briefing him on his cover.

I'm going to leave this without any context.
