Yeah - I wonder if Evil!Dads is someone who got there first, rather than being all that . Gettting there first is a hell of an advantage of course, but if the other guy survives long enough youu eventually lose it. For everbody who hates all encompassing conspiracies it would be great if this one turned out to be a rogue agent, his stolen slush fund, and his one superpowered assistant - plus a very small amount of low level hired help.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I think Evil Dad did not know how well Nathan could fly. He may have expected slow hovering; they would be able to grab him before he got very far off the ground.
I told you Nathan's been practicing.

"Would you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?" - Doctor Who
For someone who seems to know more about the specials than they do about themselves, that's either disappointing or heartening.
It's possible that the stress of the situation pushed him to a higher level of performance than he'd previously exhibited. Evil!Dad may know a hero's power based upon gathered genetic data but may still need to observe the subject to determine the magnitude of that power.

Well I remember with the cop, Evil!Dad was surprised by how far along his mind reading was. In this case, I'm not predicting - I would totally like to see super-conspiracy turn out to be a small number of not very smart guys.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I'm willing to buy this, especially considering his less than graceful landing.

And also, Hiro might well be one of those people who are too self-conscious to put forth the effort to speak a foreign language. Under pressure, he may indeed speak better English. Relax him, and let him worry about how he's going to sound and his performance would be much less masterful. (Something about how imminent execution concentrates the will most wonderfully, I suppose.)

I hadn't considered that, but it makes sense. It also fits with a certain Japanese sense of propriety.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Okay, so I saw the unaired pilot "Heroes" and the big thing that was missing from it and the aired pilot is that the artist did not "OD" in the pilot. He cut off his HAND and nearly bled out. His girlfriend came and took him to the hospital.
That was pretty startling and amazing. I liked that version of the pilot more.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Also, theres the whole bit about how Hiro's pal was going to coach him with phonetic pronunciations.
