> Okay, I’m totally missing some double entendre here, because I have no idea why “Crimson Arc” sounds womanly. Unless it’s a play on Crimson Tide, in which case that’s just stupid – can nothing be “crimson” without being related back to menstruation? Arc and Tide have nothing in common.

Yup. Stupid here , ready for duty. Clearly you’ve never transmogrified from male to female during cramp week before! 😉

Sigh. I guess they’re not going to use mini-Matt to fix Daphe, huh? Fuckers.

Poor Daphne - sadly, the departed chicks of Heroes always get a raw deal in the 'being mourned ’ stakes. I think the tone was set by Peter back in Season one when he was sad for about two hours re Simone getting shot. Less than a week after blubbling about the whole thing on Nathan’s shoulder, he is able to handle seeing her again on the first day he met her, (care of Charles Deveaux’s dream walking power) with total emotional detachment.

For that matter, possibly Caitlin is still sat in a cell somewhere in that season 2 virus future wondering when Peter’s going to come back and rescue her.

Oh yeah; this is a really bad show to be black, or a romantic interest on (although Claire’s beaus’ usually live to see another dawn). And they didn’t actually kill Maya. That was nice of them
