Especially if you're Hiro, who can manipulate time and space. Coincidentally, congratulations to Masi Oka for his Golden Globe nomination.

NBC/HEROES producers decide to "straighten" their gay character. http://www.afterelton.com/TV/2006/12/heroes.htmlIn summary: it's been decided that the character of Zach--depicted as gay in every way except having him utter the words "I am gay"--is now formally and officially not gay. Here is Tim Kring's official reply to the "Zach is gay/Zach isn't gay" controversy, from http://afterelton.logo-blogs.com/2006/12/11/heroes-creator-tim-kring-speaks-out-about-heroes-gay-controversy/. "I am very sorry this has caused concern for the readers of your website. It was certainly not our intention to confuse the issue of Zach’s character being gay. We have too much respect for our audience to do that intentionally. However, it has simply become too complicated behind the scenes to push this issue further with this particular character. We apologize for misleading the audience, and wish that we could have handled things better on our end. But making a TV show is often a very imprecise business. As you stated, Heroes is a big, sprawling drama and there is no reason to believe that a gay character will not be represented on our show in the future. It is my hope than we do, we do it with honesty and dignity. That will certainly be our attempt."

Yeah...sure.
He hasn't been "depicted as gay." The possibility has been touted, I'll definitely agree, but they've never gone so far as to depict him in such a manner. They played around with the is he/isn't he question (I'm sure to get people talking) but nowhere did anyone say anything that makes this news a reversal of any kind.

That is bullshit. They set up what promises to be a good, gay character, who does not behave as a stereotype, and then announce that he is straight. Maybe when that guy made him forget about Claire, he made Zach forget about being gay, too.

Yeah, and you can bet that, if they ever DO actually decare a Hero to be gay, he'll get eaten by a dinosaur or something.
Not to worry.
The dinosaur would be heterosexual!

Yup! I looked up video clips from the previous episode just to get ready for this one! I gotta buy some chips and cheese doodles for this show, too.
I told you the six weeks would go by fast!

NBC today unveiled its extensive "TV 360" realization for the breakout-hit Heroes. The digital extensions, which launch with the return of original episodes of the show on Monday, January 22nd, will include exclusive and original content made available on several alternative platforms, sponsored in part by Nissan.
The announcement was made by Jeff Gaspin, President NBC Universal Cable Entertainment, Digital Content and Cross Network Strategy.
"This is particularly exciting because it's the most developed TV 360 application we've created for a scripted series, and the first to use this level of interactivity," said Gaspin. "'Heroes' has proven itself a hit on-air and online, and these extensions of rich, original content will allow our audience unprecedented access to new levels of the show as they dig deeper."
Beginning on January 22nd, viewers will be invited to experience Heroes in a whole new way. As they investigate on-air clues and learn new truths about the characters, their involvement will lead them to new platforms, including interaction with unique mobile content; a WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) site that one of the characters gives them access to; a special "two screen" application which provides a real-time experience; access to the fictional Primatech Paper company's phone system; and significantly increased original content on NBC.com including secret files, hidden sites and original commentary from cast members added to each streaming episode.
"This opportunity is the next step in continuing Nissan's successful partnership with 'Heroes,'" said Melissa Adams, Senior Manager of Media, Nissan North America. "'Heroes' has been key to helping Nissan establish its new entry compact car, Versa. Heroes 360 will only further enhance the awareness of Nissan's innovative products."
As the season of Heroes continues, the "Heroes 360" extensions will evolve with new areas of exploration each week. OMD will be handling the media buying and implementation for Nissan.

Tonight's episode of Heroes was terrific! I'm glad Claire is working to be Zak's friend again, maybe they will starting dating! Her father is a prick to make Zak forget her.
I don't understand why Hiro needs the fucking sword to get his powers back, unless his powers are actually more based on magic, and the sword is actually a talisman which gives him power.
Now we know what part Eccelston will play in the show; his role ought to be interesting, at the very least.
Nikki needs help controlling her dual identity power. Until she does, she is a danger to herself and even the ones she loves.. especially to her loved ones.
Peter needs help learning to control his powers.
It was an exciting episode, well worth waiting six weeks for!

The sword has the fractal symbol that's been showing up everywhere; Suresh's computer program, the Haitian's necklace, Nikki's tattoo... Clearly, the thing has a deeper and greater significance than suspected....

Blasphemy!!
Best part of the show: Hiro saying to Petrelli: "you're the flying man!"
Petrelli: (annoyed) could you say it a little lower?
Hiro: (whispering) flying man!
And he lowered his flying hand movement to match! LMAO!! We were cracking up at that.
Great ep.
 Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi

A very scruffy looking invisible man, but, to be fair, if he's so invisible that he can't see himself, then one could forgive the lack of grooming.

Good point! You can't shave or cut your own hair when you can't see yourself!
I suspect his power is ON all the time.. I may be wrong, but, time will tell..
