I think the worst thing to happen to this show would be to have fully self-contained episodes. I would hate it to be a "We have a problem... find the hero... hero saves the day... yay for the hero" sort of show. I love the character development and the mystery that we are experiencing right now. I know questions will be answered over time, but I like a show that continues to build over a season.

I feel the same. The last season of the X-Files had self-contained episodes as well as a larger plot. They interspursed self-contained episodes with the bigger story and it just killed the momentum.

i hope the writers don't get impatient and try to speed the story up. Because once they do that, there's only so much that can happen before the show gets lame.

Part of what makes the show so special is that these people seem so real
like they could be actual folks confronted by the truelly unbeleivable,
that there are natural consecuences to having super powers.
Lives are being changed and forever altered by these revelations,
relationships are being changed and forever altered.
I would hate to see is these facinating developments abandoned
and see everyone aquire costumes and move into a super headquarters
somewhere in a New York highrise with a neato Super Logo that lights up at night.
I would hate to see them have a red phone in there Super Headquarters that lights up when it rings
with the voice of the Presedent of the United States on the other end saying
"Super Heroes, we need you now!"
And please don't give them any super pets like super dogs or super hamsters to help them battle the forces of evil.
Please?

It seems the trend is to be original. People don't want them to develop this great story into the same cliche Supergroup.

I don't think they will. THe characters are too diverse and each have thier own motivations. It doesn't look like they all meet up and become the Super New York Avenger Squad. If they meet up and team up not to die, I think they might, but only for self-survival. These characters are too morally ambiguous to stay a group of superheros saving humanity. Niki was initially portayed as good (for the most part) and DL bad, then they suddenly switched it. These characters are in shades of gray.

Personally I think the worst thing they could do is get a main villain or two who are pure evil. I'd like to think that the characters are more complex, like HRG.

The worst thing the plot could go is that Sylar is actually a time-travelling Peter Petrelli.

In the future, Peter Petrelli turns out to be the bad guy, steals Hiro and other heroes' powers and what not, and comes back to haunt his friends.... meeeh. If there were too much time-travelling this show would suck.

Maybe the worst thing would be if the heroes lost their human side or vulnerablilty.

The worst direction the show could go: Micah wakes up, and it was all a bad dream. End of show.

Making the powers midichlorian-based would be bad, crossing the streams bad.

In a similiar vein to "crossing the streams," anything involving ghosts would be very very bad. (as in not good, bad direction to go in.)

Umm, yeah. Also, time travelling beyond the "modern" era...

There's two types of time-travel theories. One type is that when someone goes back in time and changes something, and then returns to the present and the present time is different due to the change (ie. Back to the Future). The other type is that when someone goes back in time and changes something, and then returns to the present and the present time stays the same because the change has already occurred in the past; it was destined to happen (ie. Billy and Ted's Excellent Adventure).


Keep in mind that we have not seen the whole story yet. In each scene, we do not get to see what is occurring with the other characters during the same time period. The story jumps around..

I'm still wondering which path the show will take. Lets just know it doesn't go both pathes (ie. The Lake House) because that would absolutely make no sense.

One thing that doesn't make sense is that the painter paints the future. One thing he creates is the comic book. When Hiro goes to New York (5 weeks into the future), he reads the comic book and brings it back with him to the present, meaning that it is happening in the present; that is the reason why in the comic book, it shows Hiro going into the future and reading the comic book (which could be considered a paradox). That means the comic book was part of history. Hiro was meant to read the comic book because if he never did, Hiro would have never done what was in the comic book.


But on to the thing that doesn't make sense... Since the comic book PERFECTLY predicted what happens to Hiro, wouldn't the painting of the New York explosion perfectly predict what happens? Since the painter paints the explosion, that means it will actually happen and the heroes have no chance to prevent it. (An example that proves this is the painting of the heroes finding the cheerleader. That means the heroes do encounter the cheerleader. So no matter what happens, they will find the cheerleader.)



The comic book was written in the future, and describes the past. That's why at the end of it, it says "to be continued". The paintings were painted in the past and describe the future. However, they only show snapshots with no context. This explains why Hiro knew about some of the events that were to occur. Future Hiro had not only read the comic book, but had also experienced the events. This is how he knew to go back to peter in the subway train. You should be asking yourself "Who wrote the comic book?" My bet is on Isaac (painter of the pictures). Check to see if the art is the same style. Remember that the comic book is from the future, so from the perspective of the comic book, it is not a prediction, but a historical fact.

The worst thing this show could do is use time travel as an explaination for everything. It would be like, "Isaac painted Hiro and Peter going through time, but it didn't happen because Hiro traveled back in time to when he traveled a month into the future where Claire told Peter to time travel to when Hiro was so that the event that Isaac depicted of Hiro and Peter time traveling never happened even though Hiro and Peter just went through time, you see?" Uh, no Confused .



My brain hurts.

I think what makes this show unique from the "super hero" cliche is the fact that the characters are all relatable, in some way you can look at one or more characters and feel for them sort of like the whole "what would I do" thing. That said, any Ghosts, Aliens, Super villains and tights... Tights would be very bad! OH and nick names! that too would be bad.

I also hope they don't loose their momentum, the story right now is so good I hope they can beat it in future seasons. Its like you have the best burger in the world after that nothing will compare sort of thing.

Anywho... thats what I think
