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.

Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

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"

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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.
you know, this is a paradox that has never been solved, what happens to time travelers/people who stop time.
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?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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!

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).

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.

I got irritable this episode. I usually like Suresh, but his scenes with the lesser Petrelli really made me twitch.Well yeah, because he'd just been chasing down Petrelli the elder, for the very same information, and all of a sudden, he was like, "Super powers, what?"
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.I agree.
I haven't made up my mind on Claire yet, but she won my sympathy for a good long shot, between the last two episodes. I'm not sure I'm crazy about the acting. I don't know.
I also like Nathan. Well, enjoy him, I guess. He's not likable.
I liked him a little for being so upfront about being married, but yeah, he's more enjoyable than actually likable.
I keep expecting Mohinder's friend to turn out to be scamming him, and working for the other side, somehow, whatever the other side is.
