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?

Oh, that's handy to know. I still have a discovery problem for TV programs.

Likewise. I browse what's on tonight, and watch the "and next week..." or check ahead for something I want to follow, but don't watch enough to spot something good coming up -- it was pure chance I saw the first episodes of Heroes were going to be on. And mostly chance I caught #4, though I thought to check because I expected two eps.

(I'm glad it was helpful, I checked ahead to next week to make sure I wasn't going to tell you they'd gone and put half the eps on bbc3 only and you missed it :()
