Sorry, Kate - I was composing my post before I saw yours, at which point, I sort of cackled. A little.
F Nathan, C HRG, M DL. Pretty much Holli's reasoning.
OK, now bed.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

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.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
F Michael, again because I have eyes; C Lionel, because he scares me, M Jack, because he is kind of adorable.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
In re the whole Sandy, Jack, John thing, if you marry the latter, you get to be the hot stepmother.
Well, that might make the marriage brief. But worthy of a Jackie Collins novel!!

I like Nutty's pervy way of thinking.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
F - DL (hello arms), M - HRG (awww bless), C - Nathan (feels slimy to me)
M - Jack Carter (a-dorable), C - Lionel Luther (don't watch Smallville), F - Michael Dawson (hot, but ultimately a little craxy)
My friend K and I watched some SPN last night. Never has so much tv been consumed so quickly for the sake of hotness.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
FINALLY watched Heroes last night. OMGLOVE. I love this episode SO MUCH. Just...wow. Love. Yeah.
Anyway, DH and I were talking last night about the powers, and the varying ages at which they seem to manifest. Claire has obviously had her healing power from infancy, because she survived the fire. Almost everyone else we've seen so far developed their powers as adults or teens. Now, do we think that this is because Claire's power is uniquely suited to being accidentally discovered (Toddler!Claire would have been noticing all her life that scraped knees didn't stay that way), or is there something special about having 2 empowered parents that makes your abilities manifest earlier in life?
Discuss.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Seeing above.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
From what we've seen, it usually takes some sort of stressful situation for the powers to manifest. Either that or Solar Eclipses.

Except Micah. And the dream boy in India.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My theory is that the powers manifest when they are needed: Clare survived the fire, but she didn't know she had the magic healing until she was in her teens. Niki may have put earlier episodes of Jessica doing stuff down to alcoholic blackouts before she got sober. Nathan didn't fly until until it saved his life in the car crash. Hiro doesn't fit with this, but there's something weird going on with Hiro's power anyway - he has it, then it weakens, then he can do something new and he stil thinks he needs the sword. It's confusing!
On another hand (I expect to need several), hasn't it been implied that the current crop of Heroes' powers started manifesting around the same time inreponse to an as yet unknown threat to the Earth? So, maybe Clare's baby power was a flare in response to the earlier manifestation spree, and went dormant for a while (though Claude and teh Haitian have maintained their powers all along and Claire's mom probably did, too).
