It's now one of my new favorite shows. Very good. This week was AWESOME with the Cheerleader and Hiro.

So what are you all thinking?? BTW Anyone know what the Double "F" thing means??

Best show on TV right now. Hope they don't pooch it up with a really stupid plot line. So far it has been very well written.

I love it. That symbol thing is showing up all over the place (the floating stuff in that swimming pool, the one girls pendant etc etc.

Monday nights ender was tripped out

The indestructables girl's powers are screwed up though SPOILER WARNING FOR THOSE OF YOU NOT CAUGFHT UP ON THE SHOW!!!!:

One: way too much catastrophic stuff is happening to her by accident (head twisted on football field, hand in garbage disposal, stick in the neck etc -all the stuff that happening by accident is just too much murphy's law for me)

If she purposely did stuff each episode it would make more sense. I am not suggesting she just arbitrarily try hurting herself each episode, but, if she were to try to help people by putting herself between them and harms way, the show could still show off her ability and not have it be hoky. Nobody is that accident prone.

two: where does her abilities end??? Is she regenerator/healer or truely immortal?? either way they handled here recent death absolutely wrong.

If she died she should be dead. She was clearly dead on the table and then when the stick was removed she jumped to life. A regenerator/healer or Immortal should go into shock but still be alive (think wolverine as a regenerator and Highlander as an immortal) if the injury is serious enough but niether should die unless the life force is severed (head from neck or vaporization scenario).

The act of death and coming back after being that way for several hours is a new trait that is too zombie for me. there are too many mitigating factors for that trait to work in my head (decaying not being the least)


Am I too geek on this?????

^Not too Geeky!

As for Monday's episode. Yes i agree it's hard to beleive that she could just regenerate after the stick was in her head... BUT we don't exactly know what her full powers are. Heck the only ones we know for sure so far is the Painter (See the future), Hiro (Bend time), and the Politician (Flying)... We still aren't 100% sure the brother can fully fly and the Las Vegas stripper... we see her image but WHAT does it do? Heck look at Syler.. wtf is he?

BTW That was totally cool with Syler making FBI agent put the gun to her own head.. and then just living after being shot by the cop then "Flying" away. Does he suck up the others brains and gain their powers??


I did like the end though with her on the autopsy table and her going "Holy Shhhh". But I can't wait to see how they are going to explain her 'coming back to life' if she was already dead. HmMMmmmm

I don't really watch or enjoy TV all that much. But I have been watching Heros. Mostly because I'm a geek.

I completely agree with the regeneration aspect. If she regenerated at the rate they had previously implied then the wound should have closed and pushed the stick out long before the autopsy. Also why would they have opened her chest due to the head trauma...

I think the point behind the "death" is that now she has to disappear. It's just going to be another step bringing the group of "good guys" together in New York.

We still don't know if Syler is the girls dad, it does seem like they are trying to make us assume that is the case. After the end of the last show we also know that there are multiple "bad guys".

I'm still trying to figure out what the blonde woman's powers really are...

I've been enjoying the show. I'm not sure how great it will be once the questions are answered and it turns into the superfriends.

I can't wait for the wonder twins to show up...

Twin 1: "Take on the form of a fire breathing dragon!"

Twin 2: "Take on the form of a ... damp hand towel...". "Why did I get the crappy power, this sucks!".

Yeah I hope the writers have their act together and have already plotted the storyline's course. i would hate to see this show go the way Carnavale did where they thought they had another season and they didn't and then the story's progression gets truncated and leaves too many unanswered or unexplored questions.
