Welcome to our 15th Heroes Round Table.

While fans of the show gather in the Round Table.  I'm pretty sure Maya was on the top of everyone's list.

Is Ando really dead?
Timex: No!  There's no way one half of my favorite duo on Heroes could be dead.  Luckily, the man who kills him has the ability to control space and time.  Ando shall rise and entertain me again.

A. Hiro: Of course not. Hiro can go back in time, remember?!? (Which does force us to ask: Why didn't he just go back in time and NOT open his father's safe with the formula?)

Milover: I'm actually gonna say yes. The show needs more surprises and this would definitely shock viewers.

Welcome to our 14th Heroes Round Table.

While fans of the show gather in the 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.

Welcome to our 13th Heroes Round Table.

While fans of the show gather in the Timex: I gotta tell you, I did not miss him from last week's episode. And, realistically, I don't think I'd miss him from the show. Do what you gotta do to get rid of him, writers.

What was Claire's birth mom thinking?!?
Timex: She must have just watched "How to Lose Biological Daughters & Alienate People."

A. Hiro: I have no idea. But what was HRG doing entrusting his family to a woman that had already proven to be irresponsible and whose sole power involved the making of fire?

Milover: Can't say I approve of the torture... but at least fire-starting mom was trying to relate to Claire and assist her with her issues. Useless, real mom is simply an enabler, as proven by her approval of Claire's so-called sleepover.

Welcome to our eleventh Heroes Round Table.

While fans of the show gather in the

Milover: Niki. Better legs.

Timex: Nathan. Niki may be gorgeous, but they've been phasing her out this season, so I won't miss her. Flying Man, farewell.

Who shot Nathan?
Milover: I don't know who pulled the trigger, but it seems clear to me that his mom orchestrated the assassination. As for whether it was a Bob henchman or the Company man himself that carried out the plot, we'll have to wait and see in "Villains."

Timex: Well, we know it was someone from the old generation or The Company if they were talking to Mrs. Petrelli. My guess? The baddest, awesomest member of The Company is back: HRG.

A. Hiro: What about some future version of Peter? We didn't see much of the shooter, but that walk looked familiar. Knowing how gullible Peter can be, perhaps he was convinced that gunning down Nathan was a necessity.

Have we seen the last of Adam Monroe?
Timex: Nope. I'm pretty sure Hiro needs to pick up Season 1 on DVD and realize that Molly can locate anyone.

A. Hiro: No way. The title of the next chapter is "Villains" and it doesn't really get more evil than Adam. Sylar will find a way to raise him from the quasi dead.

Milover: I doubt it. I've watched enough Days of Our Lives to know that being buried alive is just the precursor to an amazing, vengeful return.

Will Elle and Mohinder hook up?
A. Hiro: No. Mohinder doesn't seem very smart about anything outside of a science lab. Hard to imagine he noticed the look Elle have him at the end of this episode.

Milover: I hope so, and not just because I have a thing for Kristen Bell and want her to get more screen time. I'd love to see these two at home and watch Elle react to future indiscretions by Mohinder. Most of us don't have the ability to deliver a lightning bolt to the crotch if their partner has a wandering eye.

Timex: No. Will Elle and Timex hook up? Hopefully.

Welcome to our tenth Heroes Round Table.

While fans of the show gather in the

A. Hiro: Adam. Sylar is a cool serial killer, for sure. But the murderous Monroe seems to think he's doing the world a favor (by wiping it out, of course). I like my villains with shades of grey.
What will happen to Monica?
Timex: I think she's going to be initiated into their gang... bang.

A. Hiro: That souped up SUV she was thrown into must have DVD player in it. I foresee those thugs watching a preview of Iron Man... and then paying the ultimate price for it as Monica takes on the unstoppable qualities of that title character.

Milover: We'll find out in 2009 when they pick this one up. You might assume that Monica, after using her superpowers to help recover the backpack, only to be apprehended, has some tricks up her sleeve. Well, given the way Season Two is going, this story should be dropped indefinitely, then made the subject of an entire episode 18 months from now. Come on, guys.

Slight Heroes spoiler alert: Which two characters, as teased in the preview, will die next week?
A. Hiro: Mohinder's purpose for being on the show died long ago. The doctor's body will follow next. While my eyes hope I'm wrong in choosing Niki as the other character to perish, my head says I'm right. Her only real power was pretty being insane anyway.

Milover: Anyone but Claire, Peter, Hiro, Niki, Mohinder, Parkman, Nathan, Sylar, Mr. Bennet or Bob. Save these Heroes and you've still got a show.

Timex: Okay, just as a reminder, the preview had Nathan, Parkman, Claire, Hiro, and Elle shown. Picking two of these is nearly impossible, but I'm going to have to go with Nathan and Elle. Parkman is just learning his powers, Claire cannot seem to die, and Hiro is, well, the show. Sorry, guys, we have enough Petrellis and hot blondes without you.

Welcome to our ninth Heroes Round Table.

While fans of the show gather in the

Timex: No. I think Hiro has finally understood the concept of destiny and that you cannot change history.  Do I need to sent you the first season of Heroes on DVD?  Or maybe the Back to the Future trilogy?  Not II and III, of course. I'm not that mean.

A. Hiro: I guess not. If Kaito never dies, Kensei is never a murderer and Hiro never makes it his mission to bring him down. And we all know Kensei has got to get what's coming to him.

Will Elle use the information she learned about Bob against him?
Timex: Absolutely.  He's ruined her life.  She's a basket case.  She'll continue to follow him for a little bit longer, but she will ultimately betray Bob for what he has done.

A. Hiro: Oh yes. And, to paraphrase Mr. Bennet, it'll sting. Like a bitch.

Milover: You knew something would unnerve cold-as-ice Elle and potentially turn her against the diabolical Bob. I didn't expect it to happen so soon, but this revelation clearly struck a chord with Elle, who won't be a Company girl for long.

Worse decision: Mohinder shooting Mr. Bennet, or Parkman interrogating Mrs. Petrelli against her wishes? 
A. Hiro: Mohinder, to the maximum power. Wasn't he trying to abduct Claire simply to take her blood and save Niki? So he's willing to kill HRG in order to save Niki? Sounds like someone has a dangerous, irrational crush to me.

Milover: Shooting Mr. B. Bad form, Mohinder. This is not a man you simply f*%k with. What doesn't kill Mr. Bennet will only make him stronger, and thanks to the last-minute transfusion of Claire's blood, it looks like they didn't finish the job. Prepare to reap the whirlwind, gentlemen.

Timex: Mrs Petrelli may be one scary woman to cross, but HRG eats Mrs. Petrellis for breakfast.  Watch your back, Mohinder. Oh, and if HRG doesn't kill you, I will.

Welcome to our eighth Heroes Round Table.

While fans of the show gather in the Anna Friel, I'd trust you with my life.

Milover: Bob. Adam's got nothing on this guy. Part Dick Cheney and part Cisco Adler, Bob is as shady as they get. We've always been aware of the shade factor when it comes to Bob, but his interactions with Peter last night showed us his diabolical side like never before. Plus, he's got mysterious, lightning-hurling blondes working for him. Bastard.

Timex: I'm gonna go with Bob. Adam is much more charming and has earned my trust.

Which twin annoys you more: Alejandro or Maya?
Milover: Maya. I think we get it, Heroes. Maya cries. People die. The black tears - a nice, freakish and symbolic touch. Over and over and over again. Well done. Cool idea, okay? Are you happy now that you have our praise? Good. Now do something else with Maya, for the love of God.

Timex: Definitely Alejandro. Maya has possibly the deadliest power we've seen on Heroes yet. I love the fact they brought her on and can't wait to see what Sylar does with it when he gets his powers back. Alejandro is just a lame antidote.

A. Hiro: Maya. Your tears kill people. Stop crying.

Which absent main character did you miss the most last night?
Timex: I miss Noah Bennet. I think the episode "Four Months Ago" should have focused on the Bennet's move. Did they hire a moving company? Did HRG rent a U-Haul to save some bucks? Can we watch his interview at the Copy Kingdom? How did he qualify for a mortgage on such a nice house on a Copy Kingdom salary?

A. Hiro: Hiro. I wanna believe he's fully back from lame, romantic mode and ready to fulfill his world-saving destiny again. Guess I'll need to wait a week to find out for sure.

Milover: Claire. I love the ensemble cast (particularly Milo topless) but it's just not Heroes without Hayden Panettiere, I'm afraid.

Welcome to our seventh Heroes Round Table.

While fans of the show gather in the Milo Ventimiglia shirtless pic.

Timex: Moronic blunder. Mohinder may be a doctor, but he seems to lack the brains. When will he realize that Mr. Bennet is the man, not The Company? Did HRG tell you to tell The Company you guys were working together? Then, shut up.

Will Niki die?
Milover: Niki's toast. The only way she lives is if a group of scab writers cross the picket lines and completely alter Heroes while the regular writing team strikes. Wages, schmages. Back to work, losers!

Timex: There's no way.  Save the Cheerleader, Save the Niki.

A. Hiro: I don't know, but I either way, Ali Larter naked pics will last forever!

Sadder goodbye: Peter and Caitlin, or Hiro and Yaeko?
Timex: Who the hell is Caitlin?  We will miss you Yaeko.

A. Hiro: This is a trick question, right? I haven't stopped drinking champagne since both these Heroes finally bid farewell to the women that had been holding them back. Seriously. I'm wasted right now.

Milover: Hiro and Yaeko was the sadder goodbye, which is ironic as the Hiro we know and love actually returned last night. Man. Hearing a vintage "Yatta!" out of Hiro brought back memories of the olden days. Ah... April.

Where should The Bennets move to?
A. Hiro: Seattle. There, Claire's whining abilities can be closely matched by another citizen in the city. Yes, Meredith Grey, I'm looking at you.

Milover: Dillon, Texas. It would be a homecoming of sorts for the Bennets ... and also make my TV fantasy come true if Claire joined the same cheerleading squad as Lyla Garrity. Serious cross-promoting potential for NBC there!

Timex: I hear Scranton, Pennsylvania has a booming paper industry there.  Maybe Mr. Bennet can get a nice job working at The Office.
