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?

(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 :()
