I say there is no chance that Lost is part of the Heroes/ Las Vegas/ Crossing Jordan universe. Different networks. There won't be any crossovers, and the heroes won't be going to the island.
Love Heroes though. The show gets better and better. I think it may even be better than this season's Lost so far, which is unbelievable since I think Lost is my all-time favorite show to date.
Every episode of Heroes has given me a couple of true chill inducing scenes. Love it.
I really hope they don't go to quickly on explaining why Future Hiro appeared. I think it would be awesome if they revisit it a few seasons down the road. He was so different, it would take a long time to do that metamorphasis.

Not necessarily. Remember, Hiro can stop time.
I can see him "upgrading" himself in a single episode. He just stops time for a (subjective) year or two and studies the extent of his powers.
Wouldn't be unprecedented: That's how Impulse became the new Kid Flash. He sat down and read every book in a library. He was done in about ten minutes, and ended up as a completely new character.
Similar thing happened in The Gargoyles Saga/TimeDancer: The Phoenix Gate appeared, Brooklyn picked it up and vanished. Five minutes later he reappeared, years older, with a new look, a mate, and two kids.

I was intrigued by the twist w/ Hiro & his buddy using Hiro's powers to make money in the casino too Reginaroadie. The roulette wheel was one thing, but I can't believe he pulled that stunt at the poker table. How did they think they were going to get away with it. The comparison by Hiro's friend to Peter Parker was nice & very fitting. I hope it wasn't foreshadowing. I would hate to see Hiro's buddy get killed. Of course given their situation with the guy in the cowboy hat and his thugs, it could be a real possibility.
I agree that Hiro, and very likely his friend, will have his abuse of his powers come back to haunt him. I can't believe his friend shot off his mouth about Hiro's ability. Not very bright.

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.
Actually, I am a fan of many comics. I read DC, Marvel, Image, Dark Horse, as well as a plethora of smaller studio comics. I don't really hold any true loyalty to one over the other.
I call the Heroes metahumans because that is what they appear to be. I don't see any signs of mutation so I have refrained from calling them mutants.

I'm a multi-book reader too. I just call them mutants 'cause every metahuman I've seen ended up needing some kind of trigger for their powers to kick in. The people here seem to have just suddenly manifested, more like like mutants.
As an aside, did anybody get a chuckle out of Jericho last night, after the woman got electrocuted?
KID: Will she wake up?
WOMAN: I think so.
KID: With superpowers?

Hey, just refreshing the thread for this week.
Last nights ep was pretty solid, like the others. Myf avorite part was when Nathan landed in front of the diner that Hiro was at. Did anyone think "Silver Surfer" as he came in on re-entry?

"We have five million Cybermen. How many are you?"
"Four"
You would destroy the Cybermen with four Daleks?"
"We would destroy the Cybermen with ONE Dalek. You are superior in only one respect."
"What is that?"
"You are better at dying."
Trash talk between a Cyberman and a Dalek. It doesn't get any better than that.

I just like the fact that he scraped his feet when he landed. It's nice to see not-so-perfect superheroes. 
And does Peter have a cool power, or what? Granted, he can only use it around other people with abilities, but it's still pretty shiny.
I hope they find some way for Isaac to use his powers without having to shoot up. Otherwise, he's not long for this world. His has to be one of the most valuble gifts.
It's nice to be excited about a show again. Let's hope that it gets spared the axe by the powers that be. I've heard of three shows that have already been cancelled.

I'm really happy to see all the storeis intertwining so well. I have to admit last nights Ep. was a little predictable, but still solid. Got to catch up Sunday night sonce I had missed Ep. three.
Oh, and the part where the cop stopped the kid from robbing the store. Felt a little choked up. Great scene.

I loved the bit with Hiro and the drivers' manual. Naturally, the guy who only reads Japanese gets the one rental car in all of freakin' North America with an English manual.

(I like how their eyes go blind when they paint. It kinda reminds me of Tiresias, the blind prophet from Oedipus Rex. Yay culture!)

I'm afraid, unless they figure out how to really change time, he's a goner by Election Day anyway, right?

Really enjoyed Monday's episode.
How long has Nathan known he can fly. Did it strike anybody else as odd that he seemed to have such mastery over his gift when Claire's dad & his telepath lapdog had him backed up against the fence? He jumps several hundred feet into the air in a single bound, then breaks the sound barrier as he takes off. Short of a less than graceful landing he seemed to be in real control over his flight power.
What is up w/ Niki's husband the criminal? He seems to be able to be invisible or phase in & out of solid matter. That makes for one interesting power.
Peter's power allowing him to mimic Issac's ability was cool. Did anyone else see notice how he saw flashes of images on the canvas before his eyes clouded over and he began painting? I don't believe that has happened to Issac. Could it be that Peter is more intuititve on the use of powers?
