We start off with a fast-tracked introduction to the Heroes characters in Episode One, that's for sure.
Here's our main cast of characters:
Peter and Nathan Petrelli. Brothers, and respectively, "The Dreamer" and the "--" guy who.....wait 'til the commentary, or your fun will be spoiled!)
Charles Devereaux - Peter's patient and father of our next cast member,
Simone Devereaux - Charles' daughter and the gal with whom Peter has a chronic crush on! Simone, however, is already dating our next character,
Isaac Mendez - "The Artist/The Painter" and everyone's favourite li'l Heroin addict. Isaac paints the future...or, has really excellent atypically busy Herion trips.
Mohinder Suresh is "The Seeker" who is always talking about the 'future world.'
Niki Sanders and Micah Sanders. "The Single Mother" with her son, but that's not all that Niki is...she's also a hmmmm well she makes her living by taking her clothes off, so don't tell Micah - he's too young to be told 'bout all of that! Micah is a 'gifted child' but we don't quite get to see how smart he really is in this first episode. He's a darn cute kid tho'!
Claire Bennet - "The Cheerleader" - and her camera-toting sidekick, Zach "Who doesn't have a cool name to put in quotations." Claire is strangely masochistic and keeps harming herself over and over again while she coaxes Zach to film her escapades. Man, I hope this isn't a love-match - these two are NOT healthy for each other at all!
Hiro Nakamura and Ando Masahashi, "The Clock Puncher" and "also has no cool name to go in quotations."
There are assorted 'other' cast characters, but these above are our HEROES!
Okay - so here's what happened in this opening episode:
Peter Petrelli, a homecare nurse - "The Dreamer" - keeps dreaming of flying. After one such airbourne dream, he wakes up beside patient, Charles Deveaux who is in a coma!
Nathan Petrelli is Peter's older brother. Now, Nathan is running for congress in New York city and doesn't have time for Peter's silly notions about flying! Nathan keeps minimizing Peter's talk about flying...
(insert extra cast character who is not a HERO.) Nathan and Peter have to go collect their mother who was caught shoplifting (socks of all things). She tells Peter, "I wanted to feel alive again."
Peter slips up and lets Simone know he's thinking of her - while they are tending to Charles Devereaux by his bedside.
Simone, however, is going out with Isaac. During a visit with Isaac, he freaks out on her and kicks her out but not before telling her that the picture he painted 3 weeks ago was of the terrible traffic accident that was just broadcast on the news TODAY!
Isaac is a Heroin addict and wants to try to get off the drugs 'cold turkey.' He and Simone argue and he kicks her out of his apartment... He claims that he "Paints the Future" and this really drives him nutty. When Simone returns to Isaac's apartment later with Peter in tow, they find that Isaac has overdosed. Simone and Peter faintly hear him say, "We have to stop it........we have to stop it."
Peter notices a painting in the apartment of himself - Peter - Flying! He sees an horrific picture, as well - of New York in flames, exploding, blowing right up all over the place! (This is where we hear "We have to stop it--")
Mohinder Suresh, "The Seeker" is a very intense guy and is always talking about the future of the world and about evolution. He is informed of his father's sudden death and travels to New York to find out more details about the death. His father was driving taxi in New York and was killed by a thief.
Mohinder comes upon a stranger, an intruder who is, messing around and snooping through his late father's research materials.
(Insert - Other order of events but this is as simple as I can make the account of this episode)
When we see Suresh next, he is in his late father's taxicab and picks Peter up as 'a fare.' He and Peter talk about genetics and evolution. Then Mohinder drives a different man around for a while. This man is hard to determine from his place in the back seat but viewers can see his big glasses. (He's kind of like 'the big glasses guy' in the way that X-Files had the mysterious "smoking man" Muhahaha!)
The Big Glasses man is the same guy who was at Chandra's apartment before....
Whoa - who is Chandra? Heck I dunno - there are so many people in this show...
lol
Ohyeah Chandra Suresh - Mohinder's father.....gone guy! Sorry 'bout that lapse.
The Big Glasses Man asks Mohinder a lot of strange questions about Mohinder's job, life and research until Mohinder finally is creeped out enough to pull the cab to a screeching halt, jump out and RUN!
RUN Mohinder RUN!
Run from that Big Eyeglasses Guy!
We learn in the first episode that Niki Sanders' son, Micah is a really smart child who Niki has been tryin to position into a very snotty, expensive academic program for 'gifted' students. Niki earns her living outside of her clothes, but the money she earns this way is just not enough for her and her son's needs. When she is two weeks short of making good on a tuition payment at her son's school, she is told that her son is out of the program. On top of all this, thugs are hounding her because she took out a huge sum with gangster, Mr. Linderman
Niki keeps seeing herself in mirrors but it's not really herself she keeps catching a glimpse of.
When the thugs finally catch up with her, Niki blacks out completely. When she wakes up, the men are scattered all over in a bloody mess around her website studio/garage. Niki-who-is not Niki (from the mirror) sh-es Niki.
That leaves us with the adventures of Hero-gal, Claire Bennet - and her side-kick, camera-man Zach! Claire instructs Zach to follow her around and to videotape her while she injures herself repeatedly in various ways. She also heals quite magically every time she hurts herself, so self-mutilation is decidedly okay for Claire Bennet, however, don't try this at home yourself, kids!
When Claire comes across an atrocious fire - caused by the accident that Isaac painted - she tells buddy, Zach to roll the camera while she darts into the burning wreckage. She manages to save a man and a fireman pulls Claire and the man further from danger. When the fireman checks her over, Claire has no burns or injuries at all. She runs away before any authorities can speak to her.
I just plain don't want to talk about Claire trying to retrieve her ring - hope that wasn't too graphic for most viewers.
Anyhow - during the 'retrieve the ring' scene, we see some secondary Heroes characters - namely, Claires parents.
Hey - her dad is the guy from the taxicab!!
Hey - her mom is LOOPY!!
Dr Hiro and Ando from Tokyo Japan both have boring jobs with desks at confined cubicles. Ando seems okay with the stationary, cookie-cutter job while Hiro finds his job unbearably uneventful. He creates his own fun at work by staring into clocks, trying to make time stand still. He is definitely our resident 'Clock Watcher' and nobody can do the job quite like our Hiro!!
Time does finally stand still for Hiro, on occasion, but when he tries to explain this to Ando, Hiro is constantly brushed off - while Ando turns his attention quite consistently to Niki Sanders' Internet Web Site.....
Hiro transports himself into a ladies' washroom at one point and Ando is neither impressd nor believing of Hiro's claim. He makes the clock at work go backwards a second and finally - we see Hiro concentrating on a poster of New York in USA. Suddenly - BAM! He's in Times Square New York!
"Hello New York" he shouts, raising his hands in the air!
And that...
