'Never Leave Me'
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. Chuffa, Chuffa!
The only cliche that irritated me was the "learn to be a swordsman in a few hours through a dramatic montage."
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.
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).
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?
I'm in denial, and chose to believe that you could live through a gunshot wound (DL) but not an internal brain smoosh (Linderman).

Given Hiro's powers, maybe more than a few hours passed on their side of the door? I like the idea of him sneaking in months of training time while Ando waits thirty minutes in the storefront.
Of course, I also like the idea of Sylar having everyone at his mercy in the finale and then George Takei popping up out of nowhere and lopping the top of his head off.

It would have been polite of him to at least stick his head out the door and tell Ando they might be a while, so Ando didn't give up and go off on his own like that.

Oh! Best fanwank, ever! I'm making it canon.
Remember how Joss said if he wanted to engage the audience, all he had to do was put Willow in jeopardy? That goes triple for me, for Hiro. And in fact, even putting Ando in jeopardy gets me all in a tizzy, because I know how much he means to Hiro.
Yes! Nathan's all "I cannot stop the bomb. Millions will die!" and I'm all "eh, whatever, CAN'T YOU SEE HOW SAD YOU'RE MAKING HIRO? He BELIEVED in you, man!"
Yes, Katie. NATHAN, CLEARLY YOU ARE WRONG IF HIRO IS CALLING YOU A VILLAIN.
