Did anyone alse notice the name of the hotel Hiro and Ando were at? I couldn't stop laughing. 
I haven't been this excited about a TV show since I discovered the Joss-verse. Though I wouldn't say it's quite on par with Buffy, Angel, or Firefly, it's still really interesting. Let's hope they keep up the good work.

The name of the casino was the Montecito, which is the casino from Las Vegas, also on NBC. I've got it Tivod, I was going to look back tonight and see if they are using the same set, too.

I was thinking that Pete must be like Sync too. It made sense when he was talking to Mohinder & said he believed his power worked only when his brother was around. That to me screamed it was Nathan that could fly, not Pete. I immediately thought of Sync. When time froze at the end of the episode I was thinking did Pete somehow "borrow" Hiro's power? It didn't make sense though since Hiro was not around.
The black man working w/ Claire's dad is definitely some sort of telepath. Apparently he somehow shut down the cop's mind (can't remember his name) and body. Whoever Claire's dad really is, and whoever he might be working for, he obviously has one of the meta humans in his employ. I would be willing to bet he has more than one.
So who is Sylar and how does he tie into all of this? He is obviously one of the super powered villians they mentioned would appear.

This is the first show in a LOOONG time (about four years, in fact! 
) that I regularly rewatch episodes from week to week. Friday night and Monday night on SciFi, then the new episode later Monday on NBC. Not to mention the torrents.... I'm such a geek!
ANYWAY, just thought I'd pass along that there is now a Heroes podcast (only a matter of time!) being put together by Miranda, one of the folk from Firefly Talk and The Signal. You can find her site at www.heroescast.com, and the podcast at http://heroescast.libsyn.com/

I'll definitly check that out.
I was obviously intrigued by the dark turn that it took this week when not only did we see future Hiro looking and acting very different from the Hiro we know, but also see him use his powers for moentary gain. I thought that his friends rationalization of it ("Is Peter Parker cheating when he sells pictures of Spider-Man?"), opens up an interesting debate. It's interesting that they choose Spider-man, since Peter first used his powers to try to scrape up some cash as an amateur wrestler. And of course, we all know what happened afterwards.
But as for the selling pictures, I think that it's not really cheating, but a way of usurping a blowhard (J. Jonah Jameson) whose unfounded and constant attacks on Spider-Man through the front pages of The Daily Bugle is a form of villainy. So Peter selling him pics of his enemy taken by himself is a way of sticking it to him. As for Hiro stopping time to win at the roulette table, I think they could have only got away with it for so long before the house noticed two Japanese office drones on an unstoppable winning streak. They should have just taken the money from the first few winnings and ran.
But as evidenced in future Hiro, as well as present Hiro getting punched out by one of the Texan's thugs, it's apparant that this abuse of power will come back to bite Hiro in the ass.

As an aside: you can tell who the DC and Marvel fans are in the fandom; DC readers refer to the characters as metahumans, Marvel readers call them mutants.

Wouldn't surprise me. Since both are NBC shows, it would only make sense to film on pre-existing sets to save cast.
But since we're on the topic of show lapse, there's a bit over at EW.com that theorizes that "Heroes" and "Lost" share the same universe. Tim Kring and Damon Lindeloft both worked on CROSSING JORDAN and they keep in contact about both their shows. And there are so many parallels between the two shows that it would make sense if they occupied the same universe.
Add LAS VEGAS into the mix, and you got an interesting set-up for cross over fanfics.
