I looooooooooooooved it! And I looooooooove Hayden Panate....Pantienne.... Panatewahwah. (Yes that is how I'm going to spell her name now.)
She's a great actress, she reminds me of Kate Hudson, not only of the way she looks and because she was in a movie with her, but because she's a great actress.

I think there's only really 2 more main characters that they have to add. The cop is being added next week as seen in the previews, and then another that I won't mention. This is going by Wikipedia, which lists the main characters. But I suppose that may not be a reliable source. Obviously they will encounter a bunch of other gifted people throughout the show, but the main cast I think will be pretty set from what I understand.
I forgot to tape the premiere, but thanks to you guys I taped the encore. I liked it a lot. Next week looks good: with them all appearing in comic books, and all banding together. The cheerleader is my favourite so far-- I love when she pushed her ribs back into her stomach.
Was she suicidal though? She said that jumping off the bridge was attempt number 6, and mentioned a bunch of other things she's done to herself. She also has a general "my life is stressful" outlook on life. I think I'm just not that perceptive, and that it was probably very clear, but is she being set up as suicidal?

I don't think she is suicidal. I believe she discovered something about herself, we don't know what though. My guess is, being a cheerleader, she was stunting and fell and got hurt in some way .. yet there was no scratch. Something along those lines. And now she is testing her supposed powers because as a teenager, she is probably very much confused about what is happening to her. And, being a teenager, she wants to test her limitations.
It explains why she ran into the fire and why she stuck her hand down the garbage disposal...which was my favorite part

She might be suicidal, because somehow she learned that she was adopted. More will be revealed later I guess.
And I decided to look on Wikipedia for the rest of the characters... To not give anything away, I'll just say that that's... Interesting.

*shakes head*
No I think the believes she is adopted as she has these "abnormal" abilities. I still stick by the whole she found out through an accident and is now testing herself. Afterall, you wouldn't stick your hand down a dishwasher to kill yourself.

Ah, that's true, I never thought about that.
And here's something interesting I found at a fan site for the show: Here
It says that the premiere delivered NBC's highest rating for the 18-49 age range for any fall drama in 5 years! That's pretty neat.

Heh, I liked the Japanese guy. They left everyone calling him an idiot in the background out of the subtitles though.

It really is an awesome show. It's a mondernized X-men that is more realistic. I like how in the preview for next episode they link it to a comic book. I am really interested in seeing how that twist works.

For those in Canada who can't watch this on Mondays, it also plays Sundays at 7pm on Global.
Can't wait for today's episode. i love the japanese guy. he's so cool and happy

Haha Hiro makes me smile. The fact that the nerd whose all into comics and star trek got teleportation as his superpower is just awesome!
Gives hope to all trekkies everywhere!

This episode was better than the premiere. Although, I have to say, this one was a bit... graphic, with those people's head-tops cut off and their brains stolen. It reminds me of Starship Troopers. *shudders*
Anyways, I had a feeling that HRG (Horn-Rimmed Glasses) man had the tape. And Hiro's whole view of the future was kinda freaky.
Oh, and I feel sorry for the cop.

I just tuned in for the first time, and I'm so confused. I get most of the characters, but what's going on with that chick and the dead bodies in her garage? It doesn't make sense, I'm so confused.
And can someone please explain Hiro's power to me? What happened, he saw the future at the end or something?
And the Indian guy, he doesn't have a power right? His dad just tried to locate the people who did?
But all in all, definately tuning in next Monday.

Okay, the girl with the dead bodies... That's Nikki, she has the worst case of bi-polar disorder in the world. She murdered those people because her "bad" side came out, and she murdered them because they were debt collecters for the head of the private school that her son went to. Except, they're the kind of debt collectors you don't want to meet in a dark alley.

Hiro has the power to bend the space-time continuum. He was originally in Japan, and he wanted to go to NYC, so he closed his eyes and imagined it, and *BAM* he's there. And since he has the power to bend space and time that teleportation put him into the future. And also, in the premiere, there was a painting by the guy who took the juice that showed a giant explosion, and some guy was in the center, so that's probably connected to what Hiro saw.

And Mohinder, he's trying to finish the research his father started. The HRG man is sorta like the evil villain right now.

Ah, that clears a lot of things up.
Thanks a lot Dragonfire.

Tonight's episode was... confusing? Time-travel is very hard to follow. And all of the plots were very short and unexplained, adding to the confusion.
Who left the note for Nikki/cleaned up her mess? Her evil persona? I thought that the map was maybe to a place for her to bury the bodies, but then she dug up more? And what as up with the 4 hour time lapse where she thought she was watching the video but was really holding her cell phone?
So Peter was the one who could fly, and not his older brother Nathan? Or could both fly? Or was Nathan making Peter levitate at the end of this episode?
Isaac isn't dead, that was just in the future that Hiro went to because his powers bend space AND time? But now Hiro is back on the subway where he was before?
And the whole murder thing was totally random, gross and confusingly under-explained (though I know that was intentional). Sylar, is that Claire's father? Were we supposed to recognize the voice on the answering machine that Mohinder listened to?
I'm so confused and yet, I know I'll tune in next week to sort it all out. So I guess the producers know what they are doing.
EDIT: If you go to NBC, there is an online comic that they are going to put up after every episode to give further info about the show.
The first issue talks about Mohinder and what happened when he came to New York after his father's death. It talks about what we already know about Mohinder's father and his work. Sylar was "patient 0", the first person that Mohinder's father located who had special powers, and the reason he left India. The comic shows that Mohinder's father's cab was TOTALLED when he died (like something ripped it apart), and he decides to take his father's job at the cab industry while vowing to find the "monster" that killed his father.
