Hayden Panettiere is hot we know this :p

I don't know, if i have to listen to her say "Its payback time, Blueberry style!" one more time I driving the damn car off the road. She voiced Dot in A Bug's Life in case you didn't know and I've had to listen to it 1000+ times as it is my son's favorite movie.

Great thing she is in no adverts over here :p

And it is her hotness that is ruining the show...

If they'd stuck to the "revolving cast" idea that they had originally planed, the show wouldn't be so stale now.

The average viewer wouldn't have anybody they could continually identify with or have a favorite character because they would be bumped off right? I'm not a heroes expert so I don't know the details of the "revolving cast" or whatever, I'm just saying.

Just saw a COOL new Promo on NBC ... with Sylar asking "Are you really my mom"... and Tons of other great stuff.

Can anyone upload this?

If it was shown that Spoiler TV will probably get it later.

Actually this is true in a way, but for Ali not Hayden. Niki was killed and now her twin suddenly appears. Usually that is jumping the shark.

It's true for all the characters, not just the female leads:

the two known Patrelli brothers, Sylar, Noah Bennett, Hiro&Ando, Parkman and Mohinder all could leave their "lead roles".

Some of the current cast could become supporting characters to new characters with new powers that have to solve "their own problem", but some could go and free up some screen space.

They need to inject some mystery and mysterious people back into the show.

Peter and Claire are the two big leads on the show (and some would argue Hiro as well) and I think most people would be quite negative if they either killed them off, or made them supporting characters/less important. And while I'm all for new characters and keeping things fresh, I admit I'd rather have Peter or Claire stories (or Hiro) then new characters that have to be built up and may not pan out at all in the end anyway. Though I will admit, if Claire doesn't get some backbone soon, I may change my mind :D

Now that we've all got used to the show it's nowhere near as interesting and exciting as it was back in the first season, when we just discovering the first details about the characters. Like what 'save the cheerleader save the world' meant, what power peter petrelli was, who was HRG and was he a good guy, who is sylar etc..

It's getting a bit formulaic now, with one of the heroes going forward in time and turning up right at the time everything bad is happening then he goes back and says 'we must save the world' then lots of bad guys come up and they face internal issues about their powers etc.

From one of the sneak peeks...I wonder if we will find out who the woman under the sheet is...at first I thought Elle...Sylar obviously took her power as well her being the girl under the sheet!

There are no leads in a show with an ensemble cast. If Peter and Clair are now "the leads" than it's a classic case of breakout characters which means the show is just that much closer to jumping the shark, if it hasn't already.

    • The quantum search for Time's origin had an equally mind-boggling conclusion by Sayan Sen Image by Steve Johnson via Pexels A theoretical study from researchers at the University of Surrey suggested that the direction of time may not be fundamentally fixed in certain quantum systems. The work, published in Scientific Reports, examined how the “arrow of time” could emerge from microscopic physics and found that time-reversal symmetry can remain intact even in models used to describe processes such as energy loss and thermalisation. The arrow of time refers to the observed one-way direction from past to future in everyday life. In macroscopic processes, this is easy to see. Spilled milk spreads across a table and does not gather back into a glass, and heat flows from hotter objects to colder ones. These processes shape the common sense idea that time moves in a single direction. However, at the level of fundamental physics, many equations do not prefer a direction of time. Time-reversal symmetry means that the same physical laws can describe a system whether time moves forward or backward. This has made it difficult to explain why irreversible behaviour appears in the large-scale world even when the underlying rules do not require it. Dr Andrea Rocco, Associate Professor in Physics and Mathematical Biology at the University of Surrey, described this contrast: "One way to explain this is when you look at a process like spilt milk spreading across a table, it's clear that time is moving forward. But if you were to play that in reverse, like a movie, you'd immediately know something was wrong – it would be hard to believe milk could just gather back into a glass. However, there are processes, such as the motion of a pendulum, that look just as believable in reverse. The puzzle is that, at the most fundamental level, the laws of physics resemble the pendulum; they do not account for irreversible processes. Our findings suggest that while our common experience tells us that time only moves one way, we are just unaware that the opposite direction would have been equally possible." The study focused on open quantum systems, which are quantum systems that interact with a surrounding environment. This environment, often described as a heat bath, can exchange energy and information with the system. The researchers used this framework to study how a direction of time might appear even when the underlying physics does not enforce one. A key part of the analysis involved the Markov approximation. This is a simplification used in many models where the system is assumed not to retain memory of its past states. The idea is that changes depend only on the current state, not on earlier history. This is commonly used when studying thermalisation, which is the process where a system settles into equilibrium with its environment. The study also used concepts such as master equations, including the Lindblad and Pauli equations, which describe how probabilities of different quantum states change over time. Another related model discussed was quantum Brownian motion, which describes the random-like movement of a quantum particle interacting continuously with its environment. In these descriptions, a “memory kernel” can appear, which is a mathematical term that accounts for how past states influence current behaviour. The researchers found that applying the Markov approximation did not break time-reversal symmetry. Even when the system interacted with an effectively infinite heat bath, the resulting equations of motion remained symmetric in time. This meant that the same mathematical description could, in principle, run forward or backward in time without contradiction. The study further showed that standard frameworks used in open quantum systems, including quantum Brownian motion and master equations like the Lindblad and Pauli forms, could be written in a time-symmetric way. These equations are typically used to describe processes that look irreversible, such as dissipation and thermalisation, but the results suggested they can also be interpreted as allowing evolution in both time directions. Thomas Guff, Research Fellow in Quantum Thermodynamics, said: "The surprising part of this project was that even after making the standard simplifying assumption to our equations describing open quantum systems, the equations still behaved the same way whether the system was moving forwards or backwards in time. When we carefully worked through the maths, we found that this behaviour had to be the case because a key part of the equation, the "memory kernel," is symmetrical in time. We also found a small but important detail which is usually overlooked – a time discontinuous factor emerged that kept the time-symmetry property intact. It’s unusual to see such a mathematical mechanism in a physics equation because it's not continuous, and it was very surprising to see it appear so naturally." The researchers also noted that deriving a one-way arrow of time from time-reversal symmetric microscopic dynamics remains an open problem across fields such as thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, particle physics, and cosmology. Their results suggested that some standard descriptions of irreversible behaviour in open quantum systems may be better understood using a time-symmetric formulation of Markovianity. According to the study, processes such as thermalisation, which are usually treated as irreversible, could in theory be described in a way that allows evolution in either time direction under the same rules. This does not imply that time reversal occurs in everyday life, but rather that the underlying equations do not strictly enforce a single direction. Overall, the findings suggested that the perceived direction of time may emerge from how physical systems are modelled and approximated, rather than from a fundamental asymmetry in the laws themselves. The researchers noted that this perspective could have implications for ongoing work in quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and cosmology on the origin of time’s arrow.
