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?

Who the hell autopsies a person who died of a head injury by ripping open their chest?

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?
