Well, he's finally important now that he has The List, which means he can find the other Heroes and help bring them together so New York doesn't explode.
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

What is even happening?
Mohinder is pretty enough for me, and has a lovely enough speaking voice that I'm content to let him be exposition man and window dressing for the time being.
I guess it depends on how an autopsy works. Because what I'm saying is that when the lady makes the incision down her chest, it should heal, unless, like you said, she pulls the skin apart immediately.
Let's pretend the stake that was in the back of her neck was breaching her central nervous system and so the brain couldn't communicate with the rest of her body, to revive and heal her.

What is even happening?
Is it promo guy, or Mohinder exposition that's always telling us that people from all over the world are discovering these abilities?
It always makes me cringe, because basically we have a whole bunch of people in the U.S., one guy from Japan. Sure there's a guy from India, but as far as we know, he knows about it. Okay, maybe the MBG is Haitian, but even then, save Hiro, we don't have anyone outside the general area of the Americas.

The evil is this way?

These days, mebbe we need heroes the most.

Me too. But not for long.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, the explosion is in New York. Just as I'm sure there are Americans with powers we haven't seen, I can understand the concentration here.
but as far as we know, he knows about it
I'm not sure what that means.

ita- the little boy with the Syler-esque name? He seemed pretty down with the fact that people reach out to him in dreams, I suppose.

I thought that comment was somehow ruling him out of the running of people discovering their powers. So we didn't get to see him learn--does that make a difference to the geographic spread?

hmmm maybe it's that only the US keeps the kind of genetic information that would allow them to be tracked?

I wouldn't rule him out, no. Whether they're just discovering or have already mastered, doesn't erase the fact that they have them.
Promo Guy seems to be promising that we'll learn the Why and Why Now of it, perhaps that will have some bearing on this.
Also wish I could remember what the map with the pins looked like, but I'm sure it was marked all over. We only just happen to be seeing those whose stories will intersect and have a bearing on the shows arc, which, yeah, right now has its 'endgame' in NYC. I do think that it would annoy me more to have a representative for as many cultures as possible than to have a largely N.A. cast who don't have to learn how to speak English.

I'm not sure what that means.Yeah, that sounded a lot more clear in my head. Sorry. I mean, okay, aside from people over here, we have Hiro (a guy in Japan) and Mohinder (a guy in India) but as far as we know, Mohinder isn't actually a superhero, he just knows about the superheros.
ita- the little boy with the Syler-esque name? He seemed pretty down with the fact that people reach out to him in dreams, I suppose.
Good point. I've been cringing about the "all over the world" since the pilot, and forgot about the little dream boy from the couple of weeks.

Good points, all. I was just uncomfortable with the "all over the world," wording, when it's so America-centric.
