Six months ago

We learned quite a lot on Heroes last night... if focused on several of the characters before they realized they had their powers.

• We see that Hiro went back six months to save Charlie from her fate. He tries to prove to her he is from the future and winds up going back to Tokyo. How cool was it that he talked to himself on the phone?! How will he get back to "real" time?
• Older brother Patrelli and his wife freak out when a car was bumping their car on the highway, he "flies" out of the seat, and his wife becomes paralyzed as a result of the accident. How freaky would it be to be scared and then shoot up out of your car? Now he has all this guilt about not helping his wife. I wonder if she remembers?
• Nikki had a sister named Jessica who was killed by their dad. Where they twins? It never said... I didn't catch the dates on the tombstone... was she young? Now Jessica is Nikki's alter ego. Is she out to get revenge?
• We saw Miss Mindreader for who she really is. She uses mind manipulation... interesting.
• It was revealed that the cop can barely read and has dyslexia - hence the reason he can't pass the detective's test. Well, that was six months ago and prior to his "power" discovery. Remember when the show started? He HAD passed the test. My prediction is that he used his power during the third try at the test and aced it. Oooooh... I love it when I put the pieces together!!!
• Claire's dad still freaks me out. What is he up to? That was a nasty cut on her hand and it truly surpised them when it healed. Did her mom ever notice? Does mom realize Claire has this power, or is she so involved with those silly dogs that she is oblivious?
• And finally, Sylar. A watch maker? Who would have thought that?! What made this nerdy guy turn into the killer he is? Also, the professor mentions that he believes the soul is housed in the brain. That explains why Sylar cuts of the tops of their heads and removes the brain. YUCK! Is he trying to save their souls or use them for his benefit. Only time will tell.

This show is just fascinating! There were a couple of characters I didn't get to from last night's episode because I wanted to focus on what I thought was interesting. Last night was a great episode because it answered some questions and introduced us to some characters that explain "WHY"... maybe Lost could do something similar and make other folks happy. Me? I like this show and Lost just. the. way. they. are.
