He has a power!

It seems to be a limited type of electrical control/manipulation. Or being really darn cute!

I wonder if he can touch Hiro and make him go.

What happens if Ando charges up Super Baby?

i hope the baby,mum,ando and hiro are stuck together for a while

Holy cow!! Rockin' touch and go scene!

i think this baby will end up bein the most powerful person in the heroverse over time.

Just imagine if his power evolves at the rate his dad's power evolved.

This baby cracked me up throughout the entire episode.

Totally called that he had a power, LoL.

And then "Heroes change the world, not diapers." HAHAHA. And Toddler Touch and Go.

Oh man, beautiful work from the writers, I must say. LoL.

Hopefully the baby can reawaken Peter's empathic mimicry so we can get that long awaited real deal throwdown between him and Sylar.

can you say "yatta!" hehe cute

I can't agree more with this statement.

Ew no. Way too God-like. I'm glad he got fixed.

I just want him to give Hiro back his power, that's all.

He's an activator, seemingly. Anything he touches, he can activate.

I wonder if it works inversely as well? Can he deactivate powers?

But it's ok for Sylar?

Sylar also had a sort of-fix: The Shanti Virus. He doesn't have that much powers now.

Quite a thought. I think it's possible. What else would Danko want with a baby?


He has his daddy issues as and such going on. People always thought Peter was too emotionally involved. I think the roles have switched. Sylar is all... emo now. LoL.

Well before I started reading these posts, I didn't understand how Hiro got part of his power back. Now people are saying that he basically jump starts people's powers. Now does that make sense since he jump started electrical stuff, like the t.v. and his toys that probably had batteries in them. Now if that's so I guess he jump starts anything with electrical current of some sort, since us humans have current running through us. Imagine Baby Parkman and Ando being your best friends. If you was to lose your power BP can jump start it and Ando giving it a boost heh heh off the hook. So what ya'll think?

Baby Parkman having this power was such an obvious PD reference! haha

Didn't expect anything less from Fuller

So awesome! Seems a bit crazy to have the baby with a power, but it worked very well! A lot of fun to watch this episode! Being able to power on things, including Hiro! That's pretty crazy. Wonder when Matt'll find out. He'll be in for a load of a surprise.

Haha... that's for sure!

I 2nd that statement also, I wanna see Peter and Sylar go at it, I mean no holding back. Survival of the fittest brawl

That's possible..I think the baby show off his power then turns the TV off

Ando+Baby+Hiro = YATA!

i think ando will supercharge baby matt causing hiros powers to return.

actually maybe not because teleporting would be the easiest way to get away from danko. i think just being able to freeze time will make this chapter more enjoyable

but after volume 4, ando will supercharge the baby to give hiro his powers back

It's really easier than that. If it's supposed to "go", baby Matt makes it go.



Can't believe I missed that. Wonder what happens if baby Matt touches dead people?

What's PD?

It was the first thing I thought of, lol.

OMG, next week they should kill Ando and have Hiro mourning his death, with Matt playing on the floor. Then Matt touches Ando and VOILA! ALIVE AGAIN!

He's a bad guy! He needs to be powerfull enough that more then one heroe needs to team up and stop him, otherwise its not "Heroes" its "Sylar Vs. Peter"...

Does Danko have too many people helping him too? Maybe we should take away his guns while we're at it...

On a serious note, I'm glad they toned down Hiro's power...

So...

what are we going to call this ability? I'm not labeling it Touch-and-Go peeps.

Pushing Daisies - the amazing creation of Bryan Fuller's that little appreciated.

That's what I was thinking. He's an activator/deactivator. That power would drive any babysitter nuts.


There is no electrical current in dead people. There have been enough instances of bringing folks back to life on the show and I think they are trying to lean away from that direction. (at least from power usage)


PD = Pushing Daisies. Fuller's last TV show before returning to Heroes.

Yeah. It was mostly a joke.

That being said, I don't think Matt's power requires any electric current in what he's touching.

Well even though the toys actually had batteries and wires, they were off, they weren't going like Hiro was since his body has a constant eletrical current running through him. So there is more to this than we know.

Were all the plushy toys run on batteries. (Where Hiro & Ando were in the middle of the wall of plushies like in E.T.? It was very cute but how could that be explained?

Why would it need explained? They weren't moving on their own.

I was just wondering is all.

The plushies aren't electric. I would take a great deal of time to stack toys like that manually. If baby had TK it wouldn't be a problem for the toys to be that way quickly. Janice didn't seen surprised to see "baby sitters" stacked inside of toys when she walked in the room.

The kid's power basically makes him a walking power cell...a battery. I just hope they resolve the whole paternity issue surrounding the kid. Matt Parkman doesn't seem like the kinda guy to run away from something like that, even with his own father walking out on him.

Can't remember if it was you or not, but now I really DO have an example of a power manifesting in a baby! I said Claire at first, but I was wrong.


Is there much of an electrical current in an unplugged TV?

This seems like it's going to be one of those gray powers, where its limits won't be clearly defined. Can the baby make the gears turn in like a bank safe in order for it to open? What about wind-up toys, can he make them move on their own without having to be wound up? Can he make a can of air-freshener spray by itself?

I mean they're asking us to believe that his power can both turn on tvs and manipulate things inside your body. So unless Hiro getting his powers back is just a coincidence, then the definition of on and off will get really wacky when it comes to this kid and what he can do.

Hey, just wondered something with all those discussions on Matt's power. If he touches a dead person, can he makes him/her "go"? In other words, can he bring people to life, or in worst-case scenario build up an army of zombies? I mean, that's his power, right? He touches something and that something starts working!

I can actually picture baby-Matt building up an army of zombies! "Go and invade this toys store for me!"

I took it as the baby gave things 'life', so Hero got his power back the TV came on, the toys came on and did their basic limited functions. etc.

I've got a question.

You all saw the toy plane fly at the house, right? Could this toy normally actually fly on its own, even when "on"? I don't know, but I doubt it.

So if it flew when it normally can't, that's got to be indicative of "something" in regards to his power.

I think we have to look at the nightmare Maury gave him in S2.
Janice told him the kid wasn't his. (She was lying, and Matt probably sampled enough of her thoughts to know that, but he was still informed the kid wasn't his.)


I think Toddler Touch N Go was an accurate description. If it's meant to "go", the kid touches it and makes it work. Doesn't require electric current or anything else.
Could he open a safe? Possibly, although I don't think it likely.


Yeah, I saw the toy fly. I took it as a typical radio controlled airplane, although that doesn't make sense for a kid his age to have.
I'll have to rewatch and think about it.

anyone noticed the Star Trek Reference? Genesis Device, Life from Lifelessness..., too great!

Would really love to see Baby Matt Matt turn Sylar's powers off someday!

in the end...i think he's eventually gonna turn off everyones powers. its the ultimate solution.

I hate babies on TV, movies, etc. I'm not fond of them in real life for that matter. Can any other type of person, aside from one in a coma, be quite so boring? I always imagined powers require a developed brain and at least enough control to get out of diapers. This makes Peter's control problems downright embarassing. It wouldn't take much more of Baby Parkman to kill what started out as a fine Chapter for me.

Did she tell him that in the nightmare during Season 2?

My theory is that at the end of Volume 1, Parkman goes back to LA to be with his wife and expectant child, has an epiphany that the baby may not be his since Janice cheated, and had her take an in-utero paternity test. When it came up negative, he felt justifiably betrayed and divorced her.

In the nightmare, she accused him of abandoning his son. He said she told him it wasn't his, and she countered by saying that he'd read her mind and knew the baby was his.

And some people hate puppies and blonds, but that's not going to change the fact that plenty of people like Mr. Muggles and Tracy.

Now, putting aside your personal preferences...

"developed brain" is relative, really. That same brain is able to analyze complex speech patterns and learn a language far easier than yours can. I wouldn't call that undeveloped.

Also, different heroes have learned their powers at different paces. Also, Peter's power is a -tad- more complex as it was controlling many powers. Not quite as simple as flicking a light switch, which is exactly what baby Matt's is.

And from seeing how he sporadically turned those toys on, it doesn't look like he has as much control as you seem to believe.

On a complete side note, I always find it ironic that people can hate babies as they were all one at one point.

I think we can call this ability Activation, it's simple but it states what it can do.
