Thread: What is the plot so far in Heroes?

Well I've seen a bunch of the episodes but Netflix has them for free if you have instant viewing...heh.

I just want to know why the cheerleader is important.

Well, she's basically invincible unless her brain gets severed from the spine or whatever, and if Sylar would have killed her and taken her power he'd be unstoppable. He was trying to kill Claire the entire time during Heroes and that was his main objective.

Claire can spontaneously regenerate any tissue in her body, allowing her to recover from almost any injury within seconds to minutes, though she does need to have foreign objects, such as a branch or a shard of glass, manually removed from her body and bones pushed back into position for the wounds to heal properly. Various characters in the series imply that having her brain removed would permanently kill her. In addition to simple healing, Claire has been shown to regenerate extremities. In the second season episode "Lizards", she experiments with the limits of her powers, cutting off a toe. A new toe rapidly grows into place. Her blood, when injected into others, temporarily grants them similar powers.

Oh, I see...well then technically "kill the cheerleader save the world" would be ust as apt...

Well.. I suppose that's true, but she saved a lot of lives on the show.

She'll hold some other importance I think to the show. I believe in the second season the heroes get the Shanti Virus which kills their ability (and them also I think), she probably is the cure for it.

"Save the Cheerleader, Save the world." turned out true in the second season.

I bought the box set and watched it, her blood cures a mutated strain of the Shanti Virus on there that was going to eventually wipe out 93% of the world's population.

The second season was good, even though they never got to finish it. You get to see some characters change. The biggest surprise for me was Mohinder, in the first season I liked him, this second season I wanted to see him die half the time.
