They used the coakroach with Mohinder in the very first episode. He was talking about coakroaches and evolution in his class and they showed one crawling around. They used it with matt when he was being held prisoner at the company.

I like M, M & M too. The only stories that aren’t really gripping me are Hiro/Kensei and Maya/Alejandro.

I do agree with G that the firstfew eps. were slow, but I was good with that. There was lots of catching up to do. But I also thought this week’s ep. was back on track.

I’m curious to see how SW? does next week too. I just find it really weird that they were blabbing all over about how PP was the new show with the highest numbers, and then they don’t say a word about it when it’s tied/beaten (depending on where you look. I’m going by Variety).

Greg: I’m sorry Heroes is annoying you and you already know I don’t agree about the summer vacation thing. Hopefully it’ll get better for you in the next few weeks. Seems like they’ll be ramping up the action.

Also, I like Molly and Matt and Mohinder. Yesh those two just can’t win! People didn’t like it when Matt wasn’t on the team and now that he is they still don’t like him.

Well, since we’re to believe that Sylar can’t currently use or get any powers right at the moment, I don’t think it has to do with insect wrangling powers. It’s probably what Jody says, a way to enhance the voiceover about surviving and adapting (which is something that always comes up with Sylar), or as you say… a calling card.

Jo: They used the cockroach with Matt? When was that? I don’t actually remember when it was used with Mohinder either but I do know the time it was used with HRG was when Sylar knocked him out. I need to go back and look it up. As Greg mentions below, it may just be a Sylar calling card but it seems more deliberate than that… if only because it has always seemed to be used with Sylar and Sylar alone. But, you could be right about the enhancing the voiceover thing… either way, I’d like to ask TK about it.

I think SW had high premiere numbers because it was on after Dancing with the Stars and people probably just didn’t change the station. Plus, I think Applegate is well known enough to get people to tune in for the first episode. I’ll be curious to see how it does next week.

Heroes continues to annoy me, and I feel as if the show just never came back from summer vacation. Maybe cockroaches are Sylar’s calling card? Or maybe he just met someone with an insect wrangling power. All I know is Sylar is one of the few things keeping my interest this season. The Molly and “My Two Dads” storyline has got to go.

Heroes – I’ve been wondering if the cockroach is Candace. Well, I was until it showed up after Sylar brained her. But, perhaps there’s another Hero out there with that same power?

But really, I just think it’s something they use to emphasize the voice overs when they’re talking about evolution or the ability to adapt/survive. Because they don’t just use it with Sylar. It’s been with Matt, Mohinder, and I think HRG as well.

Everything I read about Samantha Who was positive. Kristen & The TV Gal both loved it, and all the comments seemed to be the same. I thought it was cute. Certainly cute enough to keep being recorded while I watch Heroes. Also, it had the highest premiere numbers of ANY new show (including PP – although the numbers vary everywhere I read them) yet no one seems to be saying anything about that??
