Thoughs On Heroes
I've been reading all the comments in the "Heroes: Discuss" group and individual posts and my head is reeling. So much information, so many theories....
Adding my comments to the fray...
If Sylar did in fact learn to play dead from a roach then the possibilities are endless. Who is to say he couldn't break open a fish and learn to breath underwater?
Who is Claire's father? My money is on Linderman who will soon become a living breathing entity on the show.
I also suspect that Linderman has some sort of power as well, what it is I don't know but I suspect that he is The Flash.
Did anyone read this weeks comic yet? The guy that tries to take Ted, I think that's Linderman too, and that he has escaped using this Flash abilities.
Continuing on the topic of Linderman, I suspect that he is working against HRG somehow. Going back to this weeks comic the mystery man that tries to take Ted says he "won't let them do to you what you did to me" or something like that.
So...if HRG took Claire when she was a baby after thinking her parents were dead and Linderman turns out to be her father, Linderman has understandable anger towards HRG and his organization.
OK, so...The Invisible Man.
He calls himself Claude Rains which was the name of the actor who played The Invisible Man in the movies. The Invisible Man is a thief and crazy, so far the Heroes Invisible Man is a thief, will he also turn out to be crazy?
Regarding the death of a character, I think they are going to cop out. Last week I posted a comment on Jen's blog that I'll just repost here as to how I think they will cop out.
....I have developed a theory about the Nikki/Jessica character.
I theorize that her two personalities are going to merge and create a whole new personality (see the Odetta/Detta characters who merged to make Susannah in Stephen King's "The Drawing Of The Three") that will be somewhat stable but also capable of great violence.
Once her personalities merge into one she will still retain her super strength which is her true power (the comic shows her ripping a safe open with her bare hands).
So...in case you didn't get that, they are going to "kill off" one of her personalities and call it the death on the show.
If that doesn't happen I don't know who it will be, I know it won't be Peter and here's why.
In the episode where Hiro comes to him in the subway car he says 1) "you look different without your scar" meaning that at some point in the future he will have a scar; with two weeks to go before the explosion it isn't likely that Peter will get an injury that will scar up in that time and 2) "you told me many times how you felt lost before it all began."
Anyone else have some thoughts on it?

i think they'll keep linderman as this unknown person as well as faceless person who is somehow deeply involved yet this mysterious character.
killing off peter is a risky move both from a plot development as well as from a fan perspective. i like the idea of nikki/jess and killing off one of her personalities but i do think it would be sort of a cop-out. i'm waiting for something big - as in the death of a major player.
why do you think that everytime Hiro goes somewhere, (in the episode The Fix) that guy in the van was following him, and the guy in the van said that THE BOSS wanted to see HIRO. the boss is LINDERMAN. He could be Hiro's father.
And my first instinct about Claire's father was Linderman too, though I don't know about that...
Also, I don't think that HRG thought Claire's parents were dead. Bennet told Eden that he got Claire way back when when her parents "couldn't control their abilities and unfortunately had to be taken care of" (or something like that). Obviously the mom couldn't control her firey side and something went awry (her ability is that whole fire thing and she supposedly died in a fire... )
And what is up with this paper company website and its amazing thoroughness...?
you and fish did bring up a good point though. syalr could be capable of so much more if indeed he did draw on the roach to learn how to "survive". honestly, i never thought he could only draw powers from people with abilities. in my opinion, sylar always came across as having savant syndrome. if that's the case, sylar possesses unimaginable power...as he seemed to hint in peter's dream.
and yes, i'm addicted to the 360 thingy too. i get excited when i get emails from Primatech Paper.
