So we presume that Charles, Angela, Kaito and “Dallas” all have powers. :eek:

Wireless is still alive.

After getting the satellite to decend into earth’s orbit her body died but her consciousness lived on in the internet.

I had signed up for the emails from her and I was still getting them, after that episode, all summer long.

Can I just officially go on record with my distaste for the online comic? The action in the comic always seems totally disconnected from the action of the show (the events of the show seem much more real and the action in the comic always seems so farfetched and/or stupid). I’m also waiting for the first time the creators contradict the comic and the uberfanboys piss blood.

Am I the only one that feels this way?

[QUOTE=AuntiePam]  
I didn’t like little Molly yelling at Parkman and Parkman backing down, when Parkman was trying to get her to talk about her dreams. He acted like he was afraid of her, and he has no reason to be.

I don’t know. She’s pretty creepy.

[/QUOTE]  
That’s actually a pretty innovative way to teach evolution. Ok, students, this was a live demonstration of evolution in action. If you notice the classmates who could not resist the urge to stick their hands in the fire, those are what we in the business like to call “Darwin award” candidates.

The writers missed a golden opportunity.

I don’t read the online comics and am continually pissed when plot that should be in a TV episode is a) there and b) considered canon, especially when its absence from an epsiode causes issues with the show. For instance, Eden offs herself at the end of one episode and the next episode picks up two weeks later, leaving those who didn’t read the comic wondering WTF? I should just be able to watch the show and not do extra homework.

That’s why I referred to the online comic as “variously reviled.”

Doesn’t bother me, but it has been made much ado of.

Does anyone else find Mohinder Suresh’s voice completely irritating? I’m not yet sure if it’s his accent or the stress he puts on his lines but its freaking annoying, I cringe every time I hear his narrative.

I do. The first thing I thought was, “Ugh, he’s _still_ narrating?” I was really hoping one of the other characters would be narriting this season.

Well, one of my questions was answered…Nathan resigned from his elected seat.

Someone knows who Peter is and put him in that shipping container. Who?

So if Hiro inadvertently changed history by preventing Kensai from saving the village, are we watching an altered time line in the present? And if Hiro sets things right, will all that happens in the present this season be wiped out, a la Bobby Ewing in the shower?

My head hurts.

My vote for who killed Hiro’s father…Nathan and Peter’s father. He’s not really dead…he went into hiding.

I don’t mind his voice. But basically every piece of new-agey pseudoscientific claptrap he utters makes me want to strangle someone.  
Oh, and the idea that guy-in-hood-who-killed-papa-Sulu and Claire’s-new-flying-friend are the same person is utterly preposterous and without any evidence, sense or merit. Which, given this show, means it’s only about 30% likely to be true.

[QUOTE=Lightray]  
Hiro’s father recognized his killer. “I didn’t expect it would be _you_.” Why on Earth would Hiro’s father recognize Peter? The last time he would have likely seen Peter was when Peter was a little kid and the SuperFriends conspiracy was still meeting (unless I’ve forgotten some other scene that he shared with Peter?)  
[/QUOTE]

Well yeah, he certainly wouldn’t _expect_ it to be him then, would he? 🆒

So my theory that Nathan Petrelli, who slipped Ando the picture of Nakamura into the paper when he bumped into him, and hung the picture of his mother on the wall outside his apartment, and then flew away after pushing Nakamura off the rooftop, isn’t what anyone else thinks happened?
