was Peter unaffected by the stopped time on the train because of his Rogue-ish abilities
That's what I assumed. If not, why not just go back and warn the cheerleader herself?
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Interesting question: was Peter unaffected by the stopped time on the train because of his Rogue-ish abilities, or could it be that anyone with powers would be imune to Hiro stopping time? The former seems more likely, but the latter could be interesting if Hiro tries for a do-over and runs into ikiN.I think it's the former. That said, I agree it would be interesting. We don't really know Mirror!Niki's (I can't do ikiN, I just can't, because it makes me think of 'other kin' or 'otherkin' or whatever, and I'm not even sure what otherkin are, except I think it has to do with one of those things a lot of Buffistas know about and I don't, and am happy that way) limits.
Were there any previews broadcast?

I didn't notice she was bleeding -- I thought she'd just been knocked unconscious.
There were pools of blood by her head and chest outlined on the white carpet, soaking into it. It could be bad shadowing from the ahem? But I'm pretty certain that's what I saw.

She was also bleeding in Isaac's painting, I think.
I just felt so sorry for Micah having to watch his parents whup up on each other like that. Scary, even if you do know that both of them are super-people.

Oh, that's a keeper.

There at least seemed to be little speckles of blood sprayed across her nose (in the painting).

Yeah, Cindy, there were. Which were definitely new. The more interesting thing about that scene for me was Isaac's sheer *astonishment* when he rubbed off part of the paint to reveal the RNA symbol.

Is that what it was--the symbol for RNA (like ribonucleic acid RNA)? SA, has that been shown or referenced elsewhere in the show, before? It's the first time I've taken note of it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That RNA (yes, that RNA) symbol's been all over the place, but now I'm blanking on cites.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The only other place I've seen it myself (besides ikiN's back) is in the Matrix code on Papa Suresh's computer.
