He wipes your memory with a French-Creole accent.

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.

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

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
And let us all take a moment to laugh about the fact that Radioactive Man and Matt BOTH identified him as Haitian for no discernible reason.
The Radioactive Man actually said he was a Haitian student, the inference being, they'd actually spoken. Matt's just parroting from there.

What is even happening?
In my head (and not counting either Mohinder [who is Sayid-Lite on account of his pretty, slender, lanky build], or Isaac = Stone (because he puts me in mind of the guy who played Stone on General Hospital, and because he's always stoned) a lot of the Heroes characters have names related to the jossverse character whom they most resemble.
Claire = Not!Buffy
Peter = Not!Xander
Simone = Not!Zoe
Claire's father = Not!Norman Pfister
DL = Forrest
Micah = Forrest's kid
Niki/Jessica = Ben/Glory
The cop = Not!Puffy Xander
Ando = Not!Gavin
Hiro just = Hiro, because he's adorable. The young woman working for Claire's father = Pixie, because she has cute hair. Nathan = Jim Profit, even though I've never seen Profit. Everyone else is that woman/that guy, the one who/with the/that...

See, Pixie for me is Not!Meg, but that's me mapping to a different fandom entirely.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
Yeah, I was wondering what she was referring to. One of my friends suspected she was the one pushing Isaac on heroin in the first place, to cultivate his power.
Hmm, interesting. I wonder why they didn't unleash the Hatian on Isaac to give him a power ramp up sans drugs. It seems that whatever he did to Matt and radioactive man while he was cleaning them out also increased their powers a great deal. Maybe they don't know that the clean out process has a residual power up effect.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Well, Pixie for me is PoorDeadColin's Sister from Everwood. She had a name, but then she went off to boarding school and I can't remember. Lana? Oh, Laney, I think.

Well, the clean-out can power-increase could be separate. We don't really know what MBG does, exactly. And IF the clean-out leads to the power increase, and they know this, I wouldn't risk cleaning out the one guy who may have information in that head of his. Does he channel the future when he paints, or does he have future information in his head that he subconsciously taps into, you know? The way he paints random shit sometimes suggests the latter, which means wiping his brain would be BAD.

I totally missed the Haitian guy reference. This is what I get for watching with the daughter... she's got a habit of yakking while I'm trying to pay attention. Why did I think that DL was the guy who mindwiped the Quarterback and tried to kidnap Nathan?? I'm lame! There's tooo many characters with no names, I can't keep 'em all straight. Give these people names stat!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
So I was speculating on how things might shake down once characters start intersecting and working together (as I assume they will) and the whole Niki/Jessica thing. While I would guess they will probably eventually integrate her personalities, I was thinking how much more interesting if she became like Jeckyll/Hyde in LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN where the powerful one is also one that can never be trusted, except possibly by Micah (as Mina seemed to be able to control Hyde somewhat).
