Notes

• Odessa in Heroes is quite different from real-life. For example, the abandoned refinery where Claire Bennet talks to the Haitian about Zach's memory being erased shows plateaus in the distance which is quite different from the actual area. Similarly, while all the homes in the Bennets' neighborhood have lush green lawns, such lawns are almost impossible to obtain without having a huge water bill due to the constant drought and extreme heat.

Trivia

• Odessa is also the setting for the book and film Friday Night Lights, which has been adapted as an NBC series and premiered as part of the fall 2006 schedule alongside Heroes (although the series itself is no longer set in Odessa).
