Heroes

I don't know about that because I don't remember Molly's mom's head being cut open. It seems like it was only her dad so maybe I missed it or she didn't have any powers. (or her powers didn't interest Sylar) Who's got season one on DVD??? Maybe you can go back and watch that episode to see if her mom's head was cut open or not?

As usual I could have imagined it! I did imagine that Claire's toe grew back with nail polish on, after all!

I'll go back and watch it tonight. But anyway the Heroes Wiki implies that it was only the father that had powers, and that it was never revealed what the power was.

From the Wiki:

In a Q&A session, writers Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite were asked whether or not it's a guarantee that powers are passed on, given that both parents are evolved humans. They answered, "In genetics, nothing is guaranteed. A random mix of traits." In another session they said, "We've seen that the existence of powers may be something passed on, but the powers themselves are a crapshoot of sorts. For example, phase-man + strength-girl = talks to machines."

Well, they'd know more than me, they wrote it!

Darn it, another Mags theory down the drain!

Well they didn't say that you don't need to have two parents with powers in order to have them yourself, they only said that two parents having powers doesn't guarantee offspring with powers. So you could still be correct.

You never know what's going to happen with this show.... everything could change and it has nothing to do with being passed on at all.... remember, Simone was supposed to be at the explosion site but then got killed before it ever happened?? Also, Mohindar doesn't have any powers but yet his sister did and, as far as we know, neither of his parents had any powers either.... but then again, we didn't know that Angela or Hiro's dad had powers until this season so WHO KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON?????

But isn't Mohinder blood some type of power? I mean it he is the one that saves the heroes from the disease. Just a thought.

Also, Dr. Suresh always said how Shanti was "special". I think he meant more than just the disease. Plus, I think that in order to get the disease, you need to have powers, right? So Shanti must have had some powers, and then by Mags' theory, Dr. Suresh must have had powers too.

Ok, my brain really hurts now!

I'll admit that for a while I thought that Mohinder didn't need to sleep. He was always shown awake in the early hours and there were a few references made along the lines of "you haven't slept in days". In the Five Years Later episode in series 1, Nathan (or Sylar as he really was) said to him that he hadn't slept for 6 months cause he was doing research.

But if he'd had this power I would have thought that Sylar would have known, or perhaps Sylar needs to be told about a person's powers, he can't just "know". I dunno.

That's exactly right. Sylar doesn't know a person has powers. Remember how badly he wanted the list that Mohinder had before he destroyed it? I'm sure that Dr. Suresh would have purposely left Mohinder off the list if he does indeed have powers.

That's an interesting point about Mohinder's sleeplessness. I hadn't picked up on that.

Of course Nathan was Sylar at that point and it was him that said to Mohinder he hadn't slept for 6 months. So that means that Nathan aka Sylar would have known about Mohinder's "power" and taken it.

Hurrumph, this is getting confusing!

My theory? I think Dr. Suresh engineered Mohindar in order to cure Shanti but he was born too late or something.

Are you guys excited for tonight?

I was thinking about something...have we ever seen Peter use Eden's power of persuasion? He does have it, right?

Oooh, I never thought about that! He must have it... Mind you, he hasn't quite gotten used to controlling his powers yet, so maybe soon!

I can't watch it until it gets posted online tomorrow

When did he cross paths with Eden? Or is it through Sylar he would have gotten it?
