I think they were whitefonting for context.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.
Mal ,'Safe'
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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mohinder bugs me too much. I'm willing to buy Nathan's skepticism as a big old bout of not caring, more than anything else.
Nikki's multiple personality disorder seems to me be to be a coping mechanism of sorts, and not the power itself
Her reflection talks to her in the preview. I can't wait to see if MBG (who seems to be Kitty Pryde in blackface mandrag) sees her working her mojo.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Do you mean D.L.? MBG is the strong silent guy who hangs around with Claire's dad, and appears to be a telepath. D.L. is Niki's ex-husband and possible phaser.

Yeah. Forrest. He was there looking all M and B, and well, like a G. Also, I typed much faster than I was thinking.

What is even happening?
DL is Leonard Roberts, right?

With MGB the telepathy seems to have expanded to include memory erasing. And don't-notice-me projections.

How did they indicate MBG can read minds?

Art Crawl!!!
Yes.
Well, if he's being M and he's certainly a b & a G but sadly that other guy has no other name. What's up with that? I bet it means bad things for his future on this show.

They didn't. But memory erasing strikes MGB style struck me as a kind of telepathy whether you get detailed information back or not. I mean you concentrate hard and memories erase, and you get at least enough information back to tell how much you have erased. "go deep" "hollow him out". Presumably, there is "Just the skim the surface". Maybe that is not done via telepathy, but it sure sounds like the most probable way.
Similarly MGB keeps showing up out of nowhere when Daddy Dearest summons him. Yeah from behind a curtain or something, but how does he always get there with no one noticeing. I'm tenatively hypothesizing telepathic projection of "don't notice me" - cause it is another mental power.
