What was so cool was Hiro was able to get Isaac to unlock his power without the use of heroin.

Yeah, I was kinda "wtf" at that point. I hope it's explained further, because it seemed silly to me.

I have watched the series from day one and find it addicting. I'm looking forward to see who things go. The fun part now, is probably to all of you out there, whould be... (goes all X-Files analytical theorist on y'all) :twisted:

What are your theories on what we know so far (from series beginning to last episode this week, till January) and what you think is happening or will happen as the series progresses.

Some stuff to begin your brain thinking....

What do you think the significance of the tattoo mark (kinda looks like a double helix) thats on all the character bodies? Do you notice that on some the tattoo is larger or smaller?

What connects these people, besides the powers they have and this future there supposed to save?

Is there a significance to the words "Save the cheerleader, Save the world"? If so, does her connection to all this have a connection to how to possibly stop the explosion, there supposedly all supposed to stop? I mean why this message...?

Who's side is Clare's father on? And what's his part in all of this?

What drives Sylar to want to kill these people? Is there some sort of reason behind it?

It seems some either may have more then one ability or as there ability grows, they develop new abilities as they grow in there power. What do you think will happen as the charecters learn more and grow?

Besides the sibling that Suresh didn't really know he had, what else do think drove his father to even persue this research on gentic mutation and special powers? Because of it, it got him killed. What do you think he may have gotten into to attract the attention of the people he attracted?

I could go on, but I figure these are some ideas to whet your minds on and get the gears turning. So what do you all think will happen and what are your theories, based on what we know so far. Fire away people......

I think that he wants to be the only person with powers.

o.O I didn't realize that it was Hiro who enabled Isaac to paint w/out heroin. I hope the episode is still on the nbc site; I'd like to watch that scene again.

What really, really got me was the mute guy talking to Claire and asking if she could keep a secret...I really want to know more about that.

It's actually a single helix, which makes it look a lot like RNA. But I've noticed that it also appears on miscellaneous objects: Suresh's book; a swimming pool; and a city bus. So far I think it's just a symbol to tie the elements of the series together, but it probably will have more significance later on.
Who's side is Clare's father on? And what's his part in all of this?
That's a very good question. The voice in the recaps has referred to him as "evil" twice now, but aside from that we have no good way of knowing what he plans to do. I personally expect him to be a villain.

To get their powers. It's a dominance thing.
It seems some either may have more then one ability or as there ability grows, they develop new abilities as they grow in there power. What do you think will happen as the charecters learn more and grow?
Well, it looks like if they gain too much power, they'll explode. :wink: As for Sylar, he hasn't revealed any of his other powers yet. I wonder what some of them might be?

I think his power is like Peters but it is perminant and he has to kill them.

Actually, I think they mentioned that his "power" is being able to instinctively tell how things are supposed to work. So when he examines their brains, he discovers what's different about them, and uses that knowledge to modify his own brain through some unknown means. I meant what powers could he have obtained from previous victims other than Brian Davis.

That would explain why he keeps cuting the top of their heads off.
