Welcome to our 14th Heroes Round Table.

While fans of the show gather in the forums to discuss every character and story line, our staff comes together every week to analyze the latest developments from the latest episode.

Topics in this edition include: Sylar's son; Peter's power; and HRG's absence. Let's get to the Q&A...

Who do you think is the mother of Sylar's son?
A. Hiro: Tracy. How? Who knows. But the writers seem to have no problem just making up a future they know they'll never need to explain in detail, so why not say Sylar got with Tracy during a break from her relationship with Nathan?

Milover: He's named Noah. So, as crazy as this sounds, maybe Sylar and Mrs. Bennet hooked up and named the child after her ex-husband.

Timex: Well, since they've provided zero insight into this and the only woman he's every been romantically linked with is Maya, I'm guessing it's a completely new character we've never been introduced to. Maybe we'll meet her next episode, two years into the future

With his new power, will Peter fall into the same dangerous/evil trap as Sylar has?
Timex: Apparently, he already has, cutting open his own brother's skull.  Let's hope Peter can have a baby with someone unknown female character in the future so he, too, can fight the power.

A. Hiro: Yes. It didn't take long for Peter to re-assemble that watch, did it? It's almost as though he had the ability inside of him all along.

Milover: Sadly, it seems like this has already happened. I hope Peter soon sees the error of his ways.

Did you like last night's futuristic look at Heroes? Or did the time traveling make you head spin faster than Daphne can run?

No matter which side of the debate you fall on, click on the following thumbnails and relive the episode with this photo montage...

There's a problem when Heroes leaps into the future: the show can make anything up because, hey, that future is never gonna actually take place anyway!

Cases in point: Daphne is now married to Matt?!? And working with an evil Claire?!? If this is anything like the Season One episode, Five Years Gone, we'll never actually learn how these developments take place; we're just expected to accept them as fact so the show, in its present day form, can save us from this supposedly fatal future.

Do you see the trouble with this logic? The lazy writing involved?

We try to watch with an open mind, and we maybe the show will take us on a path this season that reasonably leads to a potential future such as the one depicted in "I Am Become Death," but we're not hopeful. Read the full episode recap now.

This was a controversial episode of Heroes. We'd love to hear your take on it in our forum.

Tonight on Heroes, Molly and Adam Monroe are back!

Most of the other characters soar four years down the line, too, as "I Am Become Death" promises an alternate future that involves... Sylar baking cookies?!?

We'll post a detailed episode guide after the hour ends, which will include analysis, quotes and pics from the episode. For now, discuss it in our forum...

So far for Brea Grant on Heroes, so good.

The actress, who stars as Daphne on the new season, told USA Today that she's loved playing the nemesis to Masi Oka's Hiro so far.

"It's been really fun to play out the comedy, in that he thinks he's a hero and she's not having it," said Grant.

Daphne speeds ahead four years on tonight's Heroes episode.

As for what lies ahead for Grant?

"Daphne gets a little more serious, but she's still sort of spacey and funny," the actress said. "She definitely has to deal with a lot more drama. This is Heroes, after all."

It looks like Tracy Strauss is becoming comfortable with her special ability.

On tonight's Heroes episode, the partial Niki replica sits down with Nathan and comes clean about her power. Take a look at the clip below and discuss it now in our forum:

We'd like to thank every reader that sent in an entry for the latest Heroes Caption Contest.

We wish you could all be winners. Alas, that's against our rules.

Scroll down to check out all submissions, and peek below the photo to see the winning entry. It was sent in by "thegreengiraffe."

Thanks to everyone again and don't forget to come back and play every week!

Now, wheres Waldo?

We recently came across the following photo.

Reportedly, it was a scene cut from episode two of this chapter, but it's safe to assume such a shot will come up again later on season three.

Can you guess why The Haitian might be spotted with Knox, seemingly working side by side?

The Haitian is supposed to be bringing down Knox, isn't he? Post theories as to why these two could be teaming up in our Heroes forum.

Looks like viewers will be taken to a version of the future again on Heroes next week.

During "I am Become Death," we see more of evil Claire, along with the ramification of Mohinder's experiment. Watch the preview for it now and talk about events to come in our Heroes forum:

We love Heroes. We wouldn't dedicate so much time to this fan site if we didn't.

Still, there are improvements we'd make to the show, especially as it zooms through season three (in an attempt, which we're grateful for, to make up for a lackluster second season). In a nutshell, Heroes must get Lost.

The series must follow the lead of another serialized show, one with an abundance of characters and back stories. Lost focuses on one character each episode, still adding to the overall story lines, yet allowing itself to set a reasonable pace for the show, while also giving various actors and characters a chance to shine.

Just consider the rate at which viewers were sped through character developments this week, all in a single episode:

Claire went from victim... to tortured daughter... to vengeful hero on the verge of evil. We loved the idea of Sylar's attack on Claire having a profound affect on this troubled teenager. It was a mind rape, after all. But wouldn't it have been nice to focus on just what she was going through for a full hour?

Don't just toss her into a cargo box with her birth mom (who viewers barely know, yet are led to believe is a disciple of Mr. Miyagi all of a sudden?!?) and then set her on a revenge trip to Primatech Paper. Let us feel Claire's pain in-depth.

Heroes could learn a few lessons about how Lost treats John Locke and company.

Sylar learned he was Angela's son... then was teamed with HRG... then regressed to his old ways. We've known Sylar as the ultimate bad guy, an evil killing machine. But within five minutes, his mother convinced him that his destiny was actually to help The Company. And both Sylar and HRG bought into it on the spot!
