I think Nikki dies soon. Look at who she just went to visit...

I liked that when Candice died she was fat. In the first season they hinted towards the fact that she wasn't pretty, and that she was using her powers to make everyone see her as pretty.

The comics give her whole origin story. She was quite the fat and ugly angry teen. I'm glad to see they brought that up in the show. Though I still think its all an illusion. The company wouldn't leave an idiot with sylar. Its so damned obvious that he would kill her the moment he found out she had powers.

Eh, I find them interesting so far. I liked in the last episode that she intentionally killed the two cops — it's a nice bit of moral ambiguity on a show where good and evil and normally represented by Peter (pure as the driven snow) and Sylar (eeevil).

Then again, I thought Nikki seemed interesting at first too, and boy was I wrong.

I hope Nissan realizes that I will never buy a Rogue because I'm sick of seeing those freaking commercials during Heroes. It's over the top.

adamfishercox · Oct 15, 2007 , 09:33 PM

haha yeah... how about the ending to today's show... that would be horrible my freakin nightmare... stuck inside my body unable to get out with some scary dude trying to get me.

wallinbl · Oct 15, 2007 , 09:43 PM

Much better episode.

adamfishercox · Oct 15, 2007 , 09:46 PM

Definitely. I actually have to see the next episode. First time that's happened so far.

Cold Warrior · Oct 15, 2007 , 09:52 PM

I was satisfied with the episode. First one I'm fine with this season.

Nodnarb · Oct 15, 2007 , 10:49 PM

Wow!

this just keeps getting better and better...so much new stuff in this one, they didn't even have time for hiro or peter

analogue SPRINKLES · Oct 16, 2007 , 12:21 AM

The show is so much better without Hero.

Chuckit · Oct 16, 2007 , 02:03 AM

I think this episode proves two hypotheses I've had for a while now:

1. The more content is related to Nikki, the more it will suck.

2. The more an episode features Sylar, the more it will be awesome. (I loved that part where the guy tells him that Maya and Whatshisface are killers, and Sylar goes, "Golly, are you sure?")

I loved the whole episode except for the New Orleans bullshit with "Southerners" who say "you guys."

RAILhead · Oct 16, 2007 , 06:00 AM

Man, I thought this one sucked pretty bad, too. Glad "you guys" liked it, though.

JansaNova · Oct 16, 2007 , 12:39 PM

I am still curious to know why Sylar killed that Derek dude.

Because the guy was going to call the cops on them?

Laminar · Oct 16, 2007 , 12:42 PM

So apparently the writers ran out of superpower and they have to have repeats, like flying and being able to learn quickly?

Big Mac · Oct 16, 2007 , 12:43 PM

He wants to kill Maya and her brother and decided to get rid of Derek ahead of time.

That's a strange assumption. (Also, mimicking was not Charlie's power. Flying and invulnerability are the only repeats we've seen so far.)

I suppose they are basically different, but they do appear to be very similar. Charlie was able to learn or pick up on new things quickly, usually by hearing or reading. Ms. Ghetto-fabulous can learn visually. Either method produces the same results though: acquiring new abilities without having to try.

Mithras · Oct 16, 2007 , 01:30 PM

Question: Why was Derek going to call the cops? Wasn't he just saying that the border police would be looking for "all of us"?

Oh, it was Sylar that killed Derek? I thought maybe it was leakage from Maya.
As far as we know, Sylar is still "disabled", though, right?

Big Mac · Oct 16, 2007 , 01:34 PM

Maya never got out of the car, and there was a brick next to his body.

He probably thought they were in for some small reason, not murder.

There was a bloody brick on the ground next to him. No need for powers.

Ah, thanks. That's what I get for watching furtively in a smooshed little window at work.
