>Avast! thar be spoilers here... And then some!....... I did a bit of research and can answer some of the questions a bit better. At NBC.com there is a series of short graphic novels and a blog or two that act as companions to the show and actually clarify a few things. ---- Original Message ---- From: "Jim Sharkey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2006 7:18 AM Subject: RE: Heroes > ]> > ]> Robert G.

What do we know about Skylar? He freezes people and steals their brains.

It has been pointed out online that at the beginning of every episode the Earth is shown with a number of explosions occuring across its surface. I have not noticed this but will be on the lookout for it. Save the Cheerleader, Save the *World* Ahhhhhhhh......now that makes much more sense. xponent Hiros Maru rob *Mirror Chicks hubby can walk through walls.......a jail escapee as you recall. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
