But it was Malcolm freakin' McDowell! He's been in *everything*, including one of the earlier genre films (and one of the best, IMO), "Time After Time."

Yeha, but most people remember him as "that guy", not Malcolm McDowell. He's amazing, and I like the character, but the way they talked about it, you expected it to be Burt Reynolds or something. Hell, the Stan Lee cameo was more exciting.

I'm with Scola on the handwavability of the fallout. It may be because of Ted's particular power that it's not "regular" radiation. Also the same reason why they didn't have to evacuate and decontaminate HRG's neighborhood.

Don't know who was in the painting. I thought it was of Mohinder's apartment, based mostly on the gun. I think that it might be Mohinder on the ceiling because of the weird angle.

This is me. Otherwise, it's either let yourself get driven crazy, or change the name to "Cancer!" Which would be kinda depressing.

Maybe Ted's learned to suppress the really bad radiation and mostly emit IR, which would do sufficient damage?

Since I spent many years as a Marvel Universe comics fan, I'm really good at tapdancing my way around bogus justifications.

I don't know who the body in Isaac's painting is, but it looked like it was on the ground with the top of the head cut off. Presumably Peter, but maybe not? Wonder if skulls can be regrown. I think this weekend I will marathon the episodes that my TiVo has saved. Lots of little things to go back and look for.

Juliebird, you're cracking me up with your Kara Livingston Seagull.

Lonely looking sky, lonely sky Lonely looking sky And bein' lonely Makes you wonder why Makes you wonder why Lonely looking sky

*puts Neil on repeat*

hmmm, "Be" is much more appropriate.

Lost On a painted sky Where the clouds are hung For the poet's eye You may find him If you may find him...

Be As a page that aches for a word Which speaks on a theme that is timeless While the one God will make for your day

Wonder if skulls can be regrown.

I would think so. Claire could regenerate after her chest had been split open and her ribs cracked. Only question would be if Sylar takes his brain, can he regrow it :)

Hell, the Stan Lee cameo was more exciting.

Heh. I'm still stuck on "but... but... it's Malcolm freakin' McDowell!" part.

For fun and kicks, a picture of young McDowell with very young Helen Mirren: [link]

Vonnie, I'm as stuck as you. I like (and still recognize) Malcolm McDowell and wish he would do more stuff.

Vonnie, I'm totally thrilled that McDowell is Linderman. I can't imagine who would have thrilled me more -- maybe Sir Ian. Maybe.

Hey guys,

I love that show despite the weekly "handwaving". This week, for me, it was Mohinder's binding Batman to a chair and then telling him all the plans to kill him...later...

Or the VERY fast laptop/biolab that evaluates DNA in a millisecond.

That stuff always cracks me up.

I'm happy for Milo though. He's wanted that freakin' hair cut off since the beginning.

I think April 23 is the most expensive ep of TV ever. They spent 4.5 million - rumors say. That is then followed by the most closely watched "very on budget" epsiode ever.
