In the truck scene, I finally found Sylar hot. Out, damned hot!
It is really too bad that Peter didn't get to meet Linderman before he died. Now that very useful healing power is totally gone.
I'm worried about everyone now. No one is safe!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade
Oh, Heroes. Why must you embrace the cliche along with the awesome? (Not that there wasn't plenty of awesome to go around.)
I was thinking about Hiro and his father, and how he seemed to want to teach Hiro that to kill the enemy, you must destroy your heart, and cut out your emotional attachments(Gee, isn't that what Claude turned out to be wrong about in teaching Peter?) But why would Hiro like a story like that so much? And it struck me that, looked at from another angle, it's a story about sacrificing your life to protect someone you love(eyes Hiro nervously).
And HOLY SHIT, I saw that shot of Peter facing Sylar and suddenly I think I know what's coming. Would anyone mind a speculative ficlet?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
it's a story about sacrificing your life to protect someone you love
That's how I took it and that's totally in Hiro's character to do.

My ex and I play a game called Props. Whenever we see something on a tv show that one of us owns, we yell out "Prop!" This mutated into Crossover Prop, pointing out props that have appeared in other shows.
In short, the dragon in the sword repair shop is the same as the dragon in Harry Dresden's office.

The only cliche that irritated me was the "learn to be a swordsman in a few hours through a dramatic montage."

All is well that ends in pizza.

I would have liked to have had them say something like Hiro got basic training as a child, or that he has the training built in, all they have to do is bring it to the surface, or something...
maybe that's the implication of all the stories. I dunno
Still? Rockin' ep.

don't want to be interactive; I want to be inactive.
Some people enjoy watching The Bob Newhart Show without playing "Hi Bob!"

I was almost hoping that they'd do the Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure moment. I mean, Hiro can move around in time and shit. So why not? It's funny.
While it's a theme this year, I wonder if "Sins of the Fathers" will be a bigger thing next year.
In the weekly Q&A with the writers, they keep emphasizing that the next chapter is "Generations." So I think it will be a very big thing next season.

I read that dragon story somewhere recently, but can't figure out where. I just checked the last few comics and it wasn't there. Anyhoo, the story has a bit more to it. I'll white-font to be extra safe, even though it's probably not necessary: The dragon, deeply moved by the prince's sacrifice, breathes life back into him and he lives happily ever after. Anyone know where I saw this?
