So, are these gonna be a weekly feature? Even if it's not, so cool!

And thanks Joe!

Thanks.

Joe doesn't quite have that infectious Mr. Rogers aura that Jesse shares but that was nice.

Thanks again, fellas, appreciate you taking the time.

Another one already? This is pretty awesome.

Thanks for the answers, Joe. And lol @ the bit about s7.

Also, is this gonna be a weekly feature for the time being?

[prander]

Would someone be so kind as to make a transcript?

I'll do you that favor, from one fan to another

"Hi, I'm Joe Pokaski, one of the writers for Heroes and I'm here to answer some question for 9thWonders.com. The first one I have is for Rebel. he is asking 'The first four episode titles are The Butterfly Effect, Dreamtime, One of Us, One of Them and the Year of Our Lord. Have there been any changes to these titles?'. This is Heroes so almost all these titles have been changed already. And um, here's the weird thing. The first episode is now called The Second Coming, the second episode is now called The Butterfly Effect, the third episode remains One of Us, One of Them and the forth episode is called I am Become Death. Then he asked us to tell the name of the fifth episode. The name of the 5th episode according to our handy dandy plan is now Angels and Monsters written by Adam Kay.

Now we have a question from HERO. 'Can you share more about the origin of that symbol and is the Pinehearst Company's logo related to it?' We can not share anything about the origin of the symbol in the show. In real life, Dennis Hammer started talking with Tim Kring, myself and Aron Colleite about some sort of symbol that can occur in nature and reoccur in our show that tells the viewers that you're watching the same story kinda out of all the character's eyes so we looked up all these helixes and it turned out as this half helix until Dennis just sat down and wrote on a piece of paper something like this *draws helix on notepad and shows it* And we kinda found the exact same thing just through that scribble. And it definitely does relate to the Pinehearst. Its basically the 2 of them put together showing that the symbols together make the helix. And then in season 7 when the aliens invade, we'll see the other side of the helix which is really cool. That's it, thanks a lot."

Thanks, Joe. I hope Joe's serious about the s7 bit. It would be cool if they did a Childhood's End tribute in the 7th season.

Imagine evolved humans from another planet. That would be an interesting plot.

Have you tried temporarily disabling your anti-virus/internet security thinga-ma-jigger software?

Usually when I can't get a video to work on a site, that usually fixes it.

I love that they do this! Thanks Joe! Oh and congrats Rebel and HERO!

[prander]

A big thanks to Joe Pokaski and everyone else involved, including the staff here.

And thanks much for the transcript, Citizen.

[Rebel]

I blush on being picked. Thank you, Joe.
