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?

Well, I suspect that was poetic license. But afaik I don't think that's stupid. She's a mysterious death, right? So you have to do a full autopsy to find out what killed her (whether the head injury was first, or the river was first, or drugs or something was first). I don't know which you'd do first, but cutting her open should be at least as *important* as examining the chunk of wood, as you can *see* the chunk of wood would have killed her, what you want to find out is if there was anything else. Removing the wood looked very casual, maybe she was *finished* and removing it was the end of the autopsy and the start of sewing swtuff back up?
