Just finished catching up on all the latest episodes and have gone back to watching from the very beginning.

Was very interested at this line in Genesis, the pilot: (sorry if it's been mentioned before, had a search but couldn't find anything, I'm new haha)

Seems to me they were setting up Arthur's dominion over Angela right from the beginning, even though he wouldn't appear for two seasons.

I wonder just how much thought the creators are putting into the story if they've thought this far ahead?

Yeah, that's a good catch. You can small things like these scattered around old season one episodes. For example, Sylar mentions the hunger in a recording he left for Chandra and Nathan said that he'd lock all of them in a facility on an island if he were a high figure in the know about evolved humans. That being said, welcome to 9thWonders, enjoy your stay here.

Yeah, I thought of Nathan saying that too when the Fugitives volume started. Very interesting. On that note, I've never particularly liked Nathan, way too arrogant.

And thanks! Been a Heroes fan long enough, about time I joined a decent forum heh.

Aaron Sorkin called writing TV, writing in a tunnel, you can't see the light at the other end. Good TV writers look back at the bread crumbs they have left to form the new picture. That pilot works so well into who Arthur was. It also fits into Angela speaking her mind more because she had all her memories back.

some of the BTE's show how much thought the writers put into future volumes- I don't remember who it was but I remember beeman saying something about how someone wasn't going to be back this volume or next volume or whatever but there is a storyline for that person...
I know they already know what season 5 is going to be like

Each year the writers break the story for the entire season once they are done with the last vol. They may have ideas for season five, but the details won't be set until the end of season 4.
