I didn’t say I agree with him, just what I thought his comments meant.
Yes, yes that is the one.
Funnily enough, I mis-read this at first as “a temporal argument that goes in cliches.” 
I guess it’s early enough in the season to post wildass predictions.
As for the unibomber (no knowledge just a guess):
I think it is going to turn out to be Takezo. Either we fnd out that his powers make him immortal or at least very longlived (as it will for Claire) or Hiro brought him ahead to at least thirty years ago. That is why he walked away from the fall with Sulu
Someone mentioned being bored with a storyline. I seem to recall that there will be two story arcs this year. One will end at the midseason break right before they start Heroes:Origins. A second arc will start after the break and go to the end of the season. If you are bored with the story at least you only have to deal with it for half a season.
I use my little toe for balance, if I’m on the boat. Or to hold onto things with.
I think it would be awesome for the uni-bomber to be Takezo. He might figure he is the original super (as far as he knows) and so he has the right to get rid of these “annoying children”.
Possibly, but it seems that at the moment it’s definately Nathan, and as such Adrian Pasdar (I think that’s his name) played it as such in the mirror.
Yeah, I looked it up. But did some woman on the show drown her children? I don’t get who on the show is being referenced.
Me too. It was a Whoosh (though I’m surprised that Alabama doesn’t require a “Theory Only” sticker on the DVD set or that Heroes hasn’t made its way into more anti-ev sermons and screeds).
Speaking of evolution, though- Mohinder used a term in discussing human migration at one point that’s evidently an anthropological term- it’s very German sounding, something like ruenzugeh- and I remember wanting to research it. Does anybody know what the word was?
Common image of La Llorona is a woman with black eyes or hollow eyes, weeping blood. And, after seeing her, you die. There was a particularly creepy article floating around on the 'net a few years back, recounting urban myths as told by homeless kids in Miami – IIRC, you chant “Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary” in front of a mirror, La Llorona appears with her missing eyes and bloody tears, and then bad things happen.
Hmm… looks like that story is still online, actually.
Anyway, they make Maya up to look just like La Llorona is described, and people who see her die. Hence, my associating the two together.
There is a temporal contradiction between the picture of dead Sulu and the pictures of the explosion. The picture of Sulu dead on pavement with those same cracks and the blood pooling in that same pattern requires him to have been pushed from a rooftop where he would have no reason to be if the bomb had exploded. You can argue that the attempt on his life would have taken place even if the bomb had gone off (Was he in the vicinity?). But the scene would have looked different.
I don’t think so. The episode “Five Years Later” made it clear that Isaac’s lost wasn’t near ground zero of the bomb. And AFAIK, Hiro’s dad was still at the sword shop during the “final fight,” of season 1, and we have no idea where that was, so it’s not unreasonable to assume it (and therefore he) could have survived the blast, and then had been on Isaac’s roof at a later point to die.
I think the problem is that, while Isack’s power was to paint the future, Hiro’s power was causing there to be multiples of the future.
Until Hiro opened the future box to find out if the cat was alive or dead, both futures were the future, and there was no way for an outside observer like Isack to determine which was which.
Alternatively, we can suppose that another NY explosion will occur in this timeline, as well as Papa Sulu and the other 7 (8?) would have been killed in the same way in the other timeline.
Myself, I think the Schrödinger fanwank is more plausible, but time travel stories are generally headache-inducing.
and the eight represent the original “Company” who are to die?
Speaking of, that must have been one helluva lesson that Dad gave Hiro. One afternoon and he was suddenly fighting like a Samurai.
Maybe that was Daddy-san’s power.
Never underestimate the power of a good 80s-style training montage.
Hiro didn’t fight Sylar so much as run at him with the pointy end pointing that-a-way. Hey, whatever works.
The rooftop of unhappiness survived the thwarted big boom, as seen by H&A arriving there for Five Years After
Hee. The “rooftop of unhappiness”. Now I will never be able to think of it as anything else but this. Presumably it’s a close cousin of the Misery park bench in Eastenders, where all the central characters are drawn to sit whenever they are in the grip of despair.
Heh. The only thing missing was “You’re the best…around…nothing’s gonna ever keep you down…”
