Trivia
When Hiro phones Ando and realizes he's talking to himself he hangs up and says "Gurehto Sukotto!" i.e. "Great Scott!", the favorite exclamation of Doc Brown, the inventor of the time machine in Back to the Future (1985).

Goofs
At Peter's graduation party, the song "Smile" by Lily Allen is played. This song was released in July 2006 and was therefore not available "six months before" when the episode takes place.

Chapter Ten 'Six Months Ago'

Hiro went back in time to save Charlie. In fact he ended up six months back.

In essence this is a fancy flashback episode framed around Hiro's time travel.

We get snippets of other characters, some of them yet to experience their powers.

Nathan Petrelli could fly when he is pursued by a car but the accident leaves his wife paralysed.

The episode does set the narrative arc. Mr Bennett meeting Chandra Suresh which sets him on the course of finding others with powers but still protect his daughter Claire.

Chandra Suresh was also the man who inadvertently set off a meek watch repairer to his course of destruction. All because he did not know how to handle sensitive data.

This is a Sylar origins story. How he thought he had special powers but realised he was just ordinary. However Sylar could grab the powers of others and take his name from a watch.

Chapter Ten is the best episode so far. You feel now that Heroes going somewhere special.
