Trust my rage

It's called Genetic Sexual Attraction, and most of those people also end up really fucked up because of the attraction.

I actually know a half brother/sister who were involved in a situation like this. It ended up being very sad for everyone involved.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I vote firmly Isaac, based on the amount of hair. Isaac has more hair than Mohinder.

I have no comment on the genetic sexual attraction thing, except that they'll generate a syndrome after, like 3 cases.

I don't even read fanfic and I can't help but fan the flames

Oh my god, that picture!! Wow.

I can't fathom Sam/Peter. They'd be too busy clinging to each other crying in combined emo-ness to get it on.

Hee! But really, people, what the world needs is Dean Winchester/Nathan Petrelli. You know I'm right.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Um, I came up with some really far out ideas about where BSG is going to go with Starbuck, but I need an answer first: have we ever been told or shown in canon how the skinjob Cylons came to be? I had somehow assumed they were bred in testtubes, since the more metallic ones are definitely some kind of biotechnology.

Has there been any hints in the commentaries about this matter?

I haven't listened to all the commentaries -- but in the show: no,we haven't.

Okay how about this.

I can't read back to everything cause there's just too much but what if Papa Petrelli didn't kill himself by jumping off the roof, but he could fly. So he was up there for a reason but little did he know the Haitian was around.... and splat. So he sort of owes Claire for killing her grandfather - that's why he's so nice to her.

And any votes for the guy in the picture being Linderman? It'd be bad for Sylar to get all Linderman's goodies...

holy crap, that's a good thought. I didn't even realize that's how he killed himself.

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

The Haitian can nullify powers, right? Was there no opportunity for him to resolve last week's problem by doing so? Why wouldn't HRG beeline for him instead of a syringe?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The Haitian can nullify powers, right?

Well, do we really honestly truly know this? If so, it's the first case of someone having two distinct powers (memory wipeage + power supression).

I'm trying to think of times we've seen someone's power nullified. When Matt was at the paper company and couldn't read HRG's mind. When else?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Someone could have pulled the same trick on Papa Petrelli as Claude did on Peter, but he didn't manage to start flying on time, or there's something else that affects people's powers, such as whatever was going on with Hiro's powers. Do we know if Papa P "jumped" off that same rooftop?
