Ok, Claire's friend is probably Sylar, who killed Candace and took her power. Now he's just messing with Claire and her family because he wants revenge.

Not sure he's Sylar, but I don't like Claire's friend. He is a bad guy.

The plot twists for the first ep seem kind of... sophomoric. So I'm betting my money on Sylar.

Hmmm, interesting.
The only thing I didn't like about his flying was that I thought, "awww, flying. We've seen that one already."
I was hoping to see some crazy new powers.

So what's Maya's power?
When I saw all the dead people I had this thought of, "Oh God, I hope she isn't another split personality girl". In my opinion, that split personality lady in season 1 was the least interesting part of the story.

Agreed. Unfortunately, it seems a possibility, insofar as she was weeping and asking, "What have I done?"

What are the powers of Angela Petrelli and Kaito Nakamura?

Sylar isn't that conniving. If he found out where Claire was and had that kind of easy access to her, it would be off with her scalp in an instant. And besides, the previews show that Sylar has gone into some sort of alternate reality, or at the very least, is being taken on some sort of journey of discovery.

Because she did many things to prevent the saving of the world, including some rather lousy things to her own kids? I was surprised to see Nathan around her this season.

Yeah, it could have something to do with that. But most of that was when I thought she was just a controlling mother who knew nothing of her kids' powers and stuff.

But she knows about it all, and obviously has a very deep connection to that whole word (which hopefully we'll learn more about soon) but she's still just a bitch and I'm not sure what her end-game is (is she looking out for herself? for her kids? for the fate of the world? for the company?) It's 99% not for her kids or the world's sake, so I'm not sure what is going on there.

It's not the same as a movie thread, where you go to find people's opinions and stuff or whether or not to see the movie (if someone gives a detailed plot outline in that thread, it should be spoiler tagged). But for a thread/show like this, discussion of details is a neccessity. I do not think spoiler tags apply here.

No. He means that there are posts that have been made as conjecture up thread that are actually spoilers.

The funny thing was that I only clicked your spoiler because I figured all of the good stuff was given away in the previous posts.

How can a guess or a prediction be a spoiler? It's not like any of us work on the show and know what's going to happen.

I don't think scenes in the trailer for the next episode deserve spoiler tags.

Well, I refuse to watch trailers for upcoming shows that I like. I reeeeeeeeeeeeally hate having any idea what's going to happen. A lot.

There are websites devoted to TV show spoilers--just like Think Secret and AI. And they're just as fervent.
