More from the EW article. Be warned . . . Spoiler-like information to follow. Just some filler here to avoid seeing anything in the post preview. Is this enough? Probably.

WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON?

Heroes' cast and creator assess five popular theories about the show:

THEORY #1 The current, official operating idea is this: In times of profound global crisis, forces of nature produce new kinds of people that can deal with the world's problems.
YES OR NO? ''We reserve the right to change this theory as we go along,'' says creator Tim Kring, suggesting that scientific or maybe even extraterrestrial intervention is possible.

THEORY #2 Niki is triple-timing as serial killer Sylar.
YES OR NO? It's a popular notion among fans, but as Ali Larter points out: ''I don't even think of her as having powers.'' Nonetheless, Kring calls the Sylar-Niki connection ''very viable.'' The Nov. 27 episode, which reveals the roots of Niki's schizoid nature, will settle the matter.

THEORY #3 Horn Rimmed Glasses doesn't want to stop human evolution — he's just trying to slow it down so the heroes can grow into their mutantdom.
YES OR NO? ''Interesting,'' is all Kring will say. Whatever his plan, you'll see H.R.G. ''get stressed out'' during sweeps, says Jack Coleman. ''He's trying to put out 100 fires at once.''

THEORY #4 Hiro changes the future just by racing through time. But if that's the case, hasn't he already saved New York from disaster, per The Butterfly Effect?
YES OR NO? We'll find out this month when Hiro's rules of time travel are explained. And Future Hiro's sword? ''It becomes a major part of the show,'' says Kring.

THEORY #5 Niki's son, Micah (Noah Gray-Cabey), is creating the entire world in his head. There's also the contention that an unseen comic-book writer is behind the action.
YES OR NO? Kring swears there are no ''It's all in a snow globe'' moments in store. As for Micah, Larter says he has powers, she knows what they are, and she ain't telling.

"And Future Hiro's sword? ''It becomes a major part of the show,'' says Kring."

I wonder if this relates to the "You look different without the scar" comment. We've already seen someone who has an interest in cutting brains out of peoples heads. Maybe the only way to kill a hero dead is to decapitate them highlander style.
Hiro tries to take Peters head, but misses by inches?

Hiro tries to take Peters head, but misses by inches?

Do you mean Sylar tries to take Peter's head? Could Hiro steal Sylar's sword?

Have we met him yet? Ties are beginning to develop...

Nathan - Peter
Nikki - DL
Issac - Simone

Whaddya think...Linderman is Sylar?

Hmmm...I haven't found any listing for the person playing Linderman, so that is a big possibility.

THEORY #4 Hiro changes the future just by racing through time. But if that's the case, hasn't he already saved New York from disaster, per The Butterfly Effect?
YES OR NO? We'll find out this month when Hiro's rules of time travel are explained. And Future Hiro's sword? ''It becomes a major part of the show,'' says Kring.

For starters, I'm intrigued by these "rules" of his time travel.

Also, of COURSE he's already saved New York! This is a TV show, not a Shakespearean trajedy. Plus, as "changed" as he appeared when showing up on the subway...I had the impression that was post-saving Hiro.

Cop has still not interacted with the other Heroes we know. The theory floating around that he is in the past and that the little girl he saved is actually Claire still holds water. Plus, HRG explained to Isaac that he adopted a special little girl after her parents were killed. All fits.

Could explain why Sylar wanted that little girl so badly. Save the Cheerleader, save the world!

While he hasn't interacted with any of our "Heroes" as yet, he *has* interacted with Mr. Bennett and the Haitian, neither of whom looked any different than they do now.

Here's a link to spoilers for Monday's episode. Read at your own peril. Let's just say that it mentions one character's death...and tells you who.

Ooooh... that's gonna p!ss off some fangirls.

Whew! Not my guy.

But does that mean necessarily that this particular character stays dead?

Not on this show, it doesn't.

Democrats make better lovers. Whoever heard of a good piece of elephant?

Thanks! geg. Smooch.

I didn't want to read the spoiler, then Draco's post made my stomache clinch.....then I read your post. And since we both know that your guy is my guy, than I'm not going to worry that our guy dies

Tummy

a beautiful kyngsladye original

Reading now the spoilers for the third season I can look back and see how many of the questions here were answered by now. Some developments are quite surprising. If you are into the new spoilers check here

Who was this 'your guy'? Just curious 2 years later.

I think we were talking about DL...he was my guy afterall.

Why would anyone want to buy fake passports from someone on line they don't know? Do the need our bank account numbers too?
