This trail will be for trivia, spoilers from various sources, minutiae, and a catch-all for HEROES-related and hopefully interesting info that didn't make it to the main HEROES trail (which might need some updating). What's fun about reading posts at 9thWonders is that people associated with the show sometimes post thought-provoking messages or ask questions that may give spoilerish details or just an inside joke. One such "task" was to find out the name of the reporter during the news of the train wreck and why that name was significant (not to the show, but just in general). So do you know anything about Laura Lancaster? Well, here is some information about one person by that name: Laura Lancaster's the Senior VP of Drama and Cable Programming, etc., at NBC! And here was an interesting way to tell about her promotion, at the end of this article in Variety: "At NBC U TV, drama VP Laura Lancaster is expected to take over for Pope." If you are familiar with comics, you might've noticed that Hiro referenced X-men #143 when he wanted to explain that Kitty Pryde did some time traveling. Aron Coleite said that was the wrong reference, and it should have been #141, and it was supposed to be changed for the premiere. Well, the iTunes download still had the incorrect reference, and so did the NBC premiere. Afterwards, Joe Pokaski acknowledged the error, and then shared a pic of issue #143's cover, and the alien looked sorta like Uluru (the image below was a bigger one found of that issue): However, Tim Sale said he did not draw or was told to draw Uluru based off of any existing characters, so some speculation I had that some villainous character could make (what looked like in the painting) Hiro imagine that a monster from his comic books was going to fight him was incorrect. Jimmy Jean-Louis said his character (the "Mysterious man") had the power to erase people's memories, so I thought maybe he could do other "Jedi mind tricks" or had other "psy-ops" abilities to make people see what's not there, or not see what IS there... But that speculation would have been good only if it was Hiro with "Uluru" and if Uluru was drawn because it was from Hiro's recollections of the alien in X-men #143. And moving on... Below is an interesting set of shots. The first is of Hiro when he started to teleport from the subway to New York, and the second shot is after he saw some unfun stuff in a future New York setting and made a hasty retreat back to (about the time) when he first left the subway: If you noticed anything outta place in those shots, do you think it's part of the storyline or just incidental? Last, here are some links that may be of interest: The home of Tim Kring's live blog entries from the premiere night Greg Beeman's blog (one of the Directors/Producers of HEROES) And here is a sneak peek of the TVGuide cover that will be available the 19th of Oct for the week of the 23-29th, provided by CraigB (Craig Byrne of 9thWonders): I haven't decided whether to put some screencaps here or in the HEROES Screencaps trail yet. You probably noticed, but the casino Hiro, Ando, Niki, Micah, and Nathan visit in episode 4 is the same fictional one used as the setting for "Las Vegas" (although "Las Vegas" actually used Mandalay Bay for some scenes). Here's a compilation of one sign that hinted at the name, and look for more in that other trail soon. And these two shots are kind of fun: Two Chandra Suresh Portraits (and wedding ring, or not?) Two apartment numbers for Chandra Suresh
