Watching Heroes

As always, Heroes writers Aron Coleite and Joe Pokaski, took the time to answer some fan questions.  Since I’m running so far behind, I’m going to borrow a summary of the key points from my good friends over at The ODI.

• The writers work as a team on the GNs with ideas pitched in a "loose rotation"
• Episode 3×13 War - Building will be blown up, some stories and perhaps characters will be "put to rest", but there will still be no clear winner between the Heroes or Villains
• Death is a necessary tool for the writers and maybe fans miss certain characters, but if they were not killed, they might not be missed as much
• We have not see the last of Usutu (he was seen again in Episode 3×09 last night)
• They try to explain the continuity error in the HRG/Elle/Sylar scene and it "infuriated" them.
• We will learn a little bit more about "The Formula’s" origins in some upcoming episodes.
• Claire’s future employment with Arthur was "averted or delayed" once Peter fell through the window.
• Claire will not find out any time soon that her dad HRG was responsible for Sylar’s path to killer. Sylar does not even know HRG was involved just Elle.
• Most of the Heroes abilities come with side effects like The Hunger, but not as severe
• We will eventually learn about Adam’s kids, but not this season
• Sylar gained the cryokinesis ability from James Walker by: killing, absorbing and then testing
• Anyone with the ability to see the future is a threat to Arthur
• If Arthur dies, all the powers go with him and are not returned to the original person.
• It will not be that easy for Peter to regain his powers
• Episode 3×11 - Sam and Frack will have a theory about the Eclipse being similar to the tides
• They avoid answering several questions about Linderman and say "you never know"
• HRG does feel guilty of making Sylar the killer he is
• They would like to explore the story of Elle’s mother but do not know when.
• Episode 3×12 will see some "memory healing" (I assume this is related to Hiro)
• Arthur doesn’t use powers on Nathan, because they wanted Linderman to be feared thus he wanted to kill him hoping to send a message to the DA’s office
• Keep checking out the GNs for more character from "The List" to appear
• Doyle will return in Episode 3×13 and will have at least one appearance in Volume 4
