Not sure if this is the place to put this

But do you know if an Australian TV network is broadcasting Heroes? It was previously on channel Seven but I am not sure whether or not they are showing the latest season. They have had a habit of putting Heroes on later and later as the season progresses and I am unsure whether they will even bother this season.--Steelymcbeam 23:34, 1 February 2009 (EST)

• Wow, someone in the same boat as me! As far as I know, Seven still own the rights to the show, but will probably air Volume Four, and, by that stage, possibly Five, in the ratings off-season in December-January. If you weren't aware, Heroes hasn't exactly set the ratings on fire in Australia. However, I am hoping they make a Ten HD-style move, and air it on 7HD like Ten have done will Smallville and Battlestar Galactica. -- Tristan0709 talk 00:02, 2 February 2009 (EST)
  • Yeah I know Heroes hasn't been a success in Australia, but from what I gather neither has Lost and that looks to still continue. Hopefully it will be aired, otherwise I can just watch it online.--Steelymcbeam 05:40, 2 February 2009 (EST)
    • I couldn't say, I have no idea about broadcasting in Australia. Sorry! -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 07:56, 2 February 2009 (EST)

Da premiere

Doing anything big tonight for da pemiere?--Citizen 12:43, 2 February 2009 (EST)

• My wife is working tonight, and I usually like to wait until she gets home to watch it with her. However, she'll but working till about 11:30, so I might watch it first by myself, then watch it again with her. Shhh. Nothing big, though--we might get some Ben & Jerry's. :) Why, have you got some fun plans for tonight? -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 13:24, 2 February 2009 (EST)
  • Well, tonight will mark the first night I'll get to watch Heroes live, so that's quite a thrill. And just live/post-episode chat with fans from 9th. Looking forward to it.--Citizen 15:13, 2 February 2009 (EST)
    • Very cool! Let me know how it goes! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 15:57, 2 February 2009 (EST)

Super Bowl Commercials

Do you have any HD images of the other two Super Bowl commercials?--MiamiVolts (talk) 19:55, 2 February 2009 (EST)

• No, sorry. I don't have HD. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 20:37, 2 February 2009 (EST)

About Peter's current ability

Before I went and made up another ability, I wanted to get your thoughts on the subject. I was thinking about making "Ability mimicry" and having the description be: The ability to temporarily exhibit the ability of another evolved human after physical contact. It seems that he was no longer able to use the strength he picked up from Mohinder after he touched Tracy and acquired her ability of Freezing. Let me know what you think. --Bentonyang 22:23, 2 February 2009 (EST)

• I think you're absolutely right, he wasn't able to use Mohinder's strength. It was almost as if he was only able to hold on to one ability at a time. Interesting, too, that Nathan asked him what he was able to do these days, and Peter replied, "What was the last thing you saw me do?" I think that's the essence of his ability now. I don't think that's really been confirmed yet, though, so I'm not sure I would add a new ability page yet. I would get others' opinions on the matter. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 22:27, 2 February 2009 (EST)
  • That's a great observation, Bentonyang. But Ryan, I'm confused about how we're supposed to list his abilities now... how do you suggest we go about doing that? Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 22:30, 2 February 2009 (EST)
    • I'm confused, too. I don't have a suggestion that I feel strongly about. Let's get some discussion going on a talk page... -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 22:32, 2 February 2009 (EST)
  • I figured at first that he had the same ability he had before and that they just added an effect to it. However the fact that they added an effect, coupled with his touching Mohinder (and Tracy) first, plus his comment to Nathan... and finally PLUS their realization that Peter becomes too powerful too easily probably convinced them to alter his ability slightly now that he got it back. It could also explain why he was so worried about getting blown out of the plane rather than just flying back inside. So at this point I think you're right and his ability is now different... which I'm very glad to see. (Admin 22:36, 2 February 2009 (EST))
    • Agree, Admin. I'm very happy that it's different--yet it still maintains the essence of his old ability, which was absorbing the abilities of others. Only now, he seems to absorb them one at a time....If only we had a name for it. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 22:39, 2 February 2009 (EST)
      • Isn't "ability mimicry" good enough? I mean, empathy doesn't appear to be required at the moment so I don't think that has to be part of the name. The only trouble is that it might be "ability absorption" (what Arthur had), but we won't know until at least next week when we find out if the other people Peter touched on the plane still have their abilities...--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:21, 2 February 2009 (EST)
        • That works for me. It doesn't seem to be Arthur's ability, though--Peter could only have one ability at a time, where Arthur could have multiple. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:14, 3 February 2009 (EST)
          • I wouldn't go with ability mimicry, this doesn't suggest that Peter can only take on one ability at a time (it sort of suggest other-wise), I think we should wait until next episode to find out. ---- Bring on the Irony 11:31, 4 February 2009 (EST)

Number of Episodes for Season 3?

Hey Ryan...does season 3 have 26 episodes and is this news? I thought it was supposed to be 24/25? Also, any schedule update, this site shows 26 episodes with the season ending in April end!? Futon Critic The ODI 14:10, 3 February 2009 (EST)

• There are only 25, as far as I know. In fact, Greg Beeman said there were 25 in last night's blog entry (13 in the first volume, and 12 in the second). Where are you seeing 26 episodes listed on Heroes Wiki? -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 16:47, 3 February 2009 (EST)
  • Oops I guess how I wrote my post, made it sound like the info was listed here on Heroes Wiki, but I actually posted a link to Futon Critic above where it is listed. I sent the info to Andy and he said that FC is a reliable source and gets press releases a day or two early. So perhaps a small typo and will go with Beeman says for now... :) The ODI 17:31, 3 February 2009 (EST)
    • Oh, didn't see the link. Could be 25. I've always trusted Futon Critic in the past, but it's also possible they make mistakes like everyone else. If it's a true thing, I'm sure NBC will promote it, so we'll catch word of it in a day or two if it's authentic. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 19:38, 3 February 2009 (EST)
      • Just got official confirmation direct from Gary Mednick at NBC that it IS 25 episodes with the finale on April 27th. Sucks it will end early, but at least we know now. The ODI 14:46, 4 February 2009 (EST)

NBC Partnership Links

Shouldn't we note that 9thwonders.com also links to us now?--MiamiVolts (talk) 20:48, 3 February 2009 (EST)

• Yes. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 20:49, 3 February 2009 (EST)

Question about contributions - user pages created

• Hi Ryan, long time not internet chat speak :). Is there any way to get a list of user pages created instead of the wiki pages?
  (Sorry not to the point, but also (1) Should I create a few of the un-aired character pages as the whole of Seson 2 is virtually blank and I have the DVD so I know who they are. (2) Should I help with the quote pages, most have the afd tag on them so I wasn't sure I should help?) ---- Bring on the Irony 11:37, 4 February 2009 (EST)
  • Use this code:

    {{#dpl:|createdby=Irony|namespace=User|ordermethod=firstedit}}

    See the sandbox to check out what it looks like. This link should also list all user pages that start with "Irony" (in case you didn't actually start one of your own pages). Hope that helps!

    If you'd like to create some of the unaired character pages, that'd be great! Let me know if you need a hand with them.

    I'm not sure what's going on with the quotes pages. I don't think they're a bad idea, but I don't like them exactly as they are now. It should probably be discusses at the community portal--I believe there's already a discussion going on there now. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 15:33, 4 February 2009 (EST)

    • Thanks for the code. You may have noticed that I created the Robert Keep page, but I can't find an image for him (it is on the portal but I can't find it). I was on the community portal talking about the quotes page but the conversation seems to have died down. --Irony - (talk) 15:38, 4 February 2009 (EST)
