Two things occur to me.

If Hiro is not careful he could die of old age in five years linear time.

Hiro's great power/great responsibility thing really, really limits his choices. As in "I don't have to be in times square with feathers sticking out of each nostril at 10:A.M. tomorrow, but if I'm not this darling little girl and her cute puppy will die."

If Hiro is not careful he could die of old age in five years linear time.

you know, this is a paradox that has never been solved, what happens to time travelers/people who stop time.

Yeah, if he's going to get a scar that's that noticeable...fun for the makeup department!

I see something across the eye . . .

So he'll eventually evoke Xander from my tired little mind, even more?

I am having a hard time remembering so many of the characters' names, because they all evoke someone else for me. Peter is Almost!Xander. Mohinder is Sayid!Lite (I mean that as a comparison of their builds, not complexions). Claire is Not!Buffy. Hiro is Franklyn (the actor also appears on "Scrubs" as a character named Franklyn).

Really? I just read it, and I got pretty much the same vibe. But then, I like Claire. I love that she has such a keen grasp of her situation, and that she obviously has a lot of conflict between being fascinated by it and aware that it makes her "a freak or a lab rat."

She's obviously not a Buffy fan though, because she would have tried a Rocket Launcher. t /take that, "no weapon forged"

I wonder how canonical those "graphic novels" are. I guess we'll find out next week for sure, since Claire's story basically tells what happens after the car crash.

Reading Nathan's story made me realize that Nathan could turn out to be like Mayor Hundred from Ex Machina.

Well, the whole "stopping time" thing is just...hard to grok if you think too much about it because, what, Hiro can't just "stop time" LOCALLY. I mean, we see the other stories play out normally, but that's just for our benefit since time would have resumed with nothing changed for all the other characters.

Who's Nathan? Isaac is the artist junkie boy, right? Is Nathan the cop?

Who's Nathan?

Politician.

Isaac is the artist junkie boy, right?

Yes. And I liked that we got to see more of his power. Wonder what Claire is running from. Sylar?

Is Nathan the cop?

Matt is the cop. Come on, Cindy! They even give us helpful little name/location cards every episode! Still!

Is Nathan the cop?

The cop is Matt, right?

Or, of course, not!Weiss.

I'm actually finally getting to know all the names. That was getting annoying (and I LIKE all the characters).

Politician.

Thank you, ita.

Shut it up, Mohinder!Lite.

I got irritable this episode. I usually like Suresh, but his scenes with the lesser Petrelli really made me twitch. I was also bored with the artist. I don't need more detail about what he does, since what he does was perfectly clear to me.

In comparison, I'm not all that much clearer about Niki, and what reflections have to do with anything. I'm going with psychotic break, myself. I also hate the premature aging of the child of a single-parent family. It creeps me out.

On the other hand, I do likes me some Claire, and although I'm not sure how she's going to walk away scott free from what she just did, she's pleasantly thinky about the whole thing.

I also like Nathan. Well, enjoy him, I guess. He's not likable.
