How did Nathan feel about his attempted capture and the fact that he was flying? He's leading a dual life and completely reticent to even admit it. What about the cop and how he's coping, does he have any memory of being captured?

They dedicated way too much time on DL's storyline and didn't capitalize on other story lines when they should have. Just my opinion though.

I would say they abandoned charecter development just because a character or two wasnt in an episode. There are going to be 22 episodes of Heroes and we are only at ep. 6. Plenty of time to develop the Petrelli and Cop storylines.

Yea. Maybe next week.

There are too many characters to have them all featured in every episode.

They will kill a few off down the line, I'm guessing the chick with the mean streak will go first.

It's just like Lost. There are so many different stories, that sometimes you can't get them every week. Last night's episode covered like 24 hours, so it's easy to go back to the other storylines. Also, wondering what happened to those other guys is what has people coming back next week.

Yeah totally agree. Maybe zekey your not used to shows like Lost or Heroes. It's like a giant movie and they will eventually get to them, but they have to develop all the characters that are going to be involved. They are slowly connecting everyone.

Hiro is gonna cause a rift some how, and I think it when he's gonna help save those gangsters when Niki tore them up while they were in the bathroom.

I agree with you actually, because I never really have gotten into drama oriented sitcoms. With me it was usually The Office, Family guy, and Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

What I will say though is that I do think that was the weakest episode of the season. I just cant get into Micah's(forgot her name) mom's storyline. I think it may be because her powers remind me more of a mental disorder(or ex-girlfriends) rather than super human abilities aside from her increased strength.

yeah I don't get how Niki is going to fit into everything either. She seems more like a villian than anything else. I guess that's one of the reasons to keep watching.

What about the Peter/Isaac storyline? They're waiting for Hiro to get to NYC so they can try and figure it out the "save the cheerleader" clue from Future Hiro. My understanding of this storyline at the end of the episode was that Peter went out to find the missing painting to piece everything together.

Like others have mentioned, the cast of characters is simply too big to have each storyline featured in every episode. If it was set up like that, it would take forever for the storylines to progress. Wasn't it until episode two or three that the Cop appeared first?

How did Nathan feel about his attempted capture and the fact that he was flying? He's leading a dual life and completely reticent to even admit it. What about the cop and how he's coping, does he have any memory of being captured?

Nathan has obviously been able to fly before and its obvious he wants to suppress his power as much as he can because its an abnormality. I doubt Nathan will openly discuss his power with anyone as it takes a lot of energy from his brother for Nathan to even admit his has this power. Personally, I'd like to see a flashback to Nathan's first discovery of this. As for the cop question, the show answered that in the last episode. He didn't remember anything. He just remembers blacking out and waking up on the couch at home.

They dedicated way too much time on DL's storyline and didn't capitalize on other story lines when they should have. Just my opinion though.

Before last night, I thought Nikki's storyline was the most underdeveloped, so I was happy to see them finally coming back to her. It seems like she has more control over this power than I thought she did at the beginning.

Re: Heroes (NBC, Mondays @ 9PM)

I think what people need to remember is that it is always going to be like this. I expect it to hop around a lot. Keep in mind, Hiro really is going to end up being a central focus of this show. With his power, you have to know that we're going to see a lot of time bending coming up.

I like being fed the character development in small bites. It reminds me of old school serial style programming. Makes you really hang out there till the next week.

Great show. Really, really strong.

I agree. I think many of us wanted to see Nikki balance out in this episode (where maybe her powers were more controlled). Before her "death," she seemed like someone with bipolar disorder. Also, did anyone else think she had a look of relief on her face when she was lying there?

I do think we will begin to see these powers become more polished in the next weeks. Some of them meet next week, so maybe we'll begin to see this puzzle form.

I also believe Micah has powers.

I'm beginning to think this as well. It only seems fitting with both of his parents possessing powers.

He seems to know too much about his mother and even tells his dad that she has a secret too.

Correct me if I'm wrong (enough people have already because I've been forgetting certain scenes), but Nikki hasn't told Micah about her powers. She never told him about the money, the guys that wanted to kill her, or even much about his father (btw, Nikki didn't seem that surprised that her husband could walk through walls, though it was "bad" Nikki at the time), but Micah seems to know everything.

Ok, so after seeing that walking through walls also includes putting your hands through someone and grabbing their organs, I will raise this power to a Level 2

Re: Heroes (NBC, Mondays @ 9PM)

I totally forgot what was going to come up in todays show and I can't look up any trailers at work. I can't wait for the show though!

Didn't the bad guy in The Frighteners do that to give people heart attacks? Pretty slick way to kill people, you gotta get too close though. But if you can go through people's skin, I guess maybe at the same time you could keep someone from attacking you.

Crap, I didn't even think of that. Level 3. We're getting dangerous here.

Seriously. Reach through and pull out their heart. CHECK MATE!

It's amazing what you can do with just a seemingly little power if you think about it
