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.
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?
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.

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 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 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.
all of a sudden, he was like, "Super powers, what?"
Precisely. And with a little bit more acceptance/motivation on his part, they might be able to make something happen. It's like the writers are balking at the proof part--it's okay that we know, but not okay that anyone other than, what, Hiro's friend and the bad guys know.

Me too. The whole conspiracy thing is the yawn factor for me. Luckily, it's been minimal, and I'm beginning to suspect that I may be right and creepy!Dad and friends' intentions may be less sinister than they appear (given that it's been proven that normal cops can't handle Sylar without serious risk).

Mohinder went from Mulder to Scully at whiplash speed.
eta and I've seen WAY too much MST3K not to think "mo' hinder" everytime I see his name written.
