I've been reading the fantastic new reviews by Sara & Erin which I hope to comment on specifically in their own threads at sometime (but if I don't get the time, both of you, you are AWESOME!)

I nearly fell off my chair when I read in Sara's "Company Man" review:

" Since the color red has proven to be fairly significant in the Heroes universe, ... "

I had been planning on logging on to post about the red spiral staircases of this week's episode. A blogger at tvguide.com mentioned their visual prominence but could not come up with a purpose. Remembering that image, my mind jumped to DNA helix - especially in an episode when Mohinder finally concludes that his own DNA has a purpose.

I'll be interested to hear what Sara thinks of this in her review for "The Hard Part".

*makes note not to forget to write about this*

In the meantime, here's a fun fact I just came across: that was Ellen Greene, best known as the human Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors, playing Sylar's mom. Puts an interesting spin on the part where it's her blood that causes Sylar's monstrous side to grown stronger, no?

I thought her voice sounded familiar.

Also, it seems likely that Sylar's mom also had a power of some kind (unless Sylar's not a "typical" hero or he just got it from his father or it's not always a dominantly inherited trait). But Sylar doesn't try to slice her head open and take her brain.

Oh, and the other interesting thing is that everyone, or every group of some ones, has a totally different perspective, colored by their own experiences. For instance, to Nathan, it's All. About. The election. DL, on the other hand, thinks it's all about Linderman targeting his family exclusively.

Also, Sylar and Peter each being completely convinced that they must cause the explosion, simply because they can (or would be able to).

**nods a lot to this**
