Official "Heroes" discussion thread - Caution: Speculation and Potential Spoilers

[RUDisney]

Yes, Matt picked her up from school one time. It was when she was drawing pictures of the nightmare man that turned out to be Matt's father. One of the school teachers was concerned about her.

Duh! OK, I remember that now. Thanks!

She goes to school. I think it was the first episode where Matt picks her up and has a conversation with her teacher about her disturbing drawings. I still think it's bizarre that she's living with two guys who aren't related to her and nobody has a problem with it. Doesn't she have grandparents or aunts and uncles? It's a big annoying loose end...but I'll suspend my disbelief since I like the show so much.

 

[Duchie]

So I've got a question. After the show ended the announcer guy said Heroes would return in 2008. What did that mean? Is it coming back after the first of the year, or do we have to wait until next September for new episodes?

I'm also confused on the whole burying Adam thing. DH said he would just live underground like that forever, but then I thought that if he runs out of air and can't get any more, wouldn't he just eventually die? DH's bet is that he doesn't ever die and that he finds a way out of the grave and comes back to find Hiro.

I'm also thinking we haven't seen the last of Adam/Kensei or whatever his real name is. It was mentioned several times that the only way to kill someone who can heal themselves is to shoot them in the head. Although... Bennett was shot in the head (well, eye) and was revived.

I don't think it's so far-fetched that Molly lives with the M's. Parkman pretty much rescued her after she was orphaned, she most likely has no other family and could have been placed in his custody temporarily for protection (although he's not exactly doing a bangup job). Mohinder could be more of a roommate than a guardian. Either way, the kid annoys me.

I don't think we have to wait until September. If I understood it correctly, this season was being broken into two shorter "episodes" rather than one longer one. I think we just have to wait until sometime early next year for the new episodes to return. Then again with this writer's strike, who knows?

 

[Jennasis]

I just assumed that the show will return in 2008 when the writer's strike allows shows to start taping again.

 

[scottny]

I thought it was done till September or if it ends somewhat earlier then they would bring it back for summer.

"24" is off (especially being he started jail time yesterday).

I heard "Lost" may be canceled for the entire season.

It is sad but I understand the writers and say stay out as long u have to so u get what u want.

I believe Adam is the original hero and all the other heros are decended from him. These are the reasons:
1) He has been around since the 1600s plenty of time to father a lot of kids.
2) He was in the British Navy. Places a British sailor would have visited include America, India, Africa and we know he got shipwrecked on Japan. As a former sailor myself I know what sailors do when they get on land after a long voyage. They copulate as much as they can. Back then there was no birth control. He likely had kids in Europe, America, India, Africa and Japan.
3) Dr Suresh Sr. was somehow able to track down many heros through genetic research. That is only possible with a genetic marker which they all share through a common blood line.
4) The Japanese symbol for Adam's name appears in Dr. Suresh's research, at the company, just about everywhere. Dr. Suresh Sr. was aware of the bloodline, so is the company.

I also think we haven't seen the end of Adam. He will live in that coffin forever. There is the possibility the other heros will need some of his super-healing blood and Claire is unavailable (maybe kidnapped or killed) and they will have to dig him up to get it.

I also don't think we've seen the last of Nathan. Horn rimmed glasses likely shot him. Theres a few ways to bring him back:
1) He has some of Adam's blood in him so maybe the residual effects will be enough to allow him to still heal on his own.
2) They could get more of Claires blood, but shes far away and they probably don't have time before he starts to decay.
3) Peter has absorbed Claire and Adam's healing abilities so maybe his blood can save Nathan.

I have to note that that is an incredibly insightful post -- perhaps the most insightful first post ever posted on the DIS.

Thank you, I've been working on my Adam theory since early in the 2nd season. I've been telling other people but they aren't Hero addicts and don't care so I had to find an online forum to get it off my chest.

Welcome aboard! Very well thought out! It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

I hope the writers are working again very soon!

 

[Snow_White]

Spintool, I enjoyed your Adam theory as well! Very interesting.

 

[katlas&kids]

Ok here's what I'm thinking....Maya and Mohinder are together now. She's alone in the big city, she's so grateful, blah, blah, the too dumbest most annoying people on the show. They're probaly gonna get together. Just speculation of course.

I'm thinking MOhinder and Elle.What a combonation that would be!!

 

[RUDisney]

It would be "electric" if nothing else.

 

[spintool]

I like to think about Elle with Claire, but thats just me.

 

[agnes!]

Anybody ever think about the characters' names?
Adam - first man
Noah - saves the human race
Claire - Clear
Elle - She/girl/woman
Peter - Rock
Nathan - well, all I can think of for Nathan is Nathan Detroit (LOL)
Shanti - Peace or Inner Peace
Gabriel/Sylar - Angel of Death, Archangel, the angel with the trumpet
Bob & Elle are anagrams.

I think Elle would get bored with poor Mohinder and zap him for fun.

And I think it's possible that Nathan/Peter/etc. staged the whole thing. And btw...wasn't Matt standing right there? Why wasn't he able to read the shooter's mind?

agnes!

Nathaniel means "gift from God", Nathan means simply "gift".
I can't remember. When Hero met Adam in ancient Japan I don't remember whether he told him his British name. Does Anyone remember? If so was it Adam? Or did he choose that name for himself in modern times as a symbol of his status as the origin of the new hero species?

Matthew = gift of God
Nathan = he gave
Niki = victory of the people
Maya = mother
Michah = "Who is like God?"
Mohinder = the god of the sky

Now, for a real challenge, someone needs to find out what these names mean:

Hiro (although I think they may be playing on the fact that it sounds like the English word hero, eh? )

Ando (I'm betting on "friend")

 

[Notatourist]

Tomodachi is friend in Japanese...

Hang on, I'll pull out my dictionary....

Hiro-fatigue

Ando-Feel
example-Ando Suru-to feel relieved

I always love listening to the spoken Japanese on the show. As a student of the language I can usually catch the literal translation of what they are saying and they are spot on.

As for the show, the episodes we saw are season two until the writers are fairly paid. As they should be. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't love the show so much.

I loathe Maya though.

 

[katlas&kids]

Heroes goes back into filming in May for a big start after the Olympics go off. So September.

There are lots of rumors & spoilers out there. Let me know if you want some to look at.
