Heroes #1-3 [spoilers]
References - or at least things that reminded me of other stories:
- Claire being involved with a train crash connects to Unbreakable (you could say that of the involvement with comics too)
- "Probably lots of Sureshes where you're from. Like Smith. Or Anderson." Matrix.
- Hiro's half-asleep travelling reminded me of Fight Club.
- "How was school?"
"Very school-like. How was work?"
"Very work-like."
...reminded me of Heathers. - When Claire goes off with the quarterback at the party, another girl watches them go. Straight out of The Rules Of Attraction.
- Claire in the morgue obviously put me in mind of CSI.
Most of the interconnections are pretty obvious but some seemed a little subtler:
- Micah Sander's comic matches Hiro Nakamura's screensaver.
- Hiro's colleague (what's his name?) is watching Niki on the net.
- Spotting things that Isaac predicted is probably mostly too obvious to be worth mentioning, but one of his paintings has the kind of cursive f shape seen on the pool at house Matt Parkman attends and later on the necklace of the black guy in the bar.
Finally:
- Matt got dumped by telepathy!
- Drunk people seem to think double as well as see double.
- If the magic powers are supposed to be genetic then Micah presumably has something too.
- Were the cheerleaders told to change into uniform before meeting the fireman or was it their own idea?

ProtagonistNakamura. But shut up already with the stupid technobabble explanation for the superpowers. I don't believe a word of it and it just wastes time that these episodes desperately need because there are so many characters to catch up with.
