I've worked in older NYC buildings that have just plain old glass windows that open and close. Love them.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I didn't have a problem with Peter not being able to fly; I accepted that he was giving everything to containing his Flamey Hands of Fire. But I did feel letdown by the final confrontation. I mean, you don't even have to show much of a battle for it to impress... in Five Years Gone, his first battle was very short, and his final battle wasn't even shown except in flashes of light. I would have been fine with most of it offscreen if it were done right, but it just seemed that very few of the powers we've been shown actually came into play in that confrontation. Or maybe Five Years Gone spoiled me.

The fight choreography has been noticeably substandard on the show from day 1, though occasionally they've had stunts that looked good (like Peter tossing Claude off that rooftop). I wonder if Spiro Razatos or Mike Massa would be available?

It's a tradeoff -- if Heroes were a feature film, they'd have the budget for major SFX battles, but we'd only get two hours or so to fit a big story into. Police trucks going ass over teakettle are going to be used sparingly with a weekly series.

I'd have settled for Nikki getting a few more good, convincing hits in, and using CGI for some blood sprays out of Sylar in place of one of the white eyed fast-forwards we got.

I have just been watching some of the earlier episodes on-line, and now I am wondering how exactly saving the cheerleader saved the world?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

In Future!Hiro's original timeline, Sylar killed Claire and had her invulnerability, and it allowed him to survive the explosion. (Whether or not Sylar caused the explosion.)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Also, I think by this point we can assume that NYC != world, except in the sense that explosion --> Nathan's presidency --> Nathan's death --> Sylar assuming Nathan's life didn't occur. Though that is really only valid if Nathan is, in fact dead. In addition to keeping her healing ability in her own brain and not in Sylar's, it may be worth noting that Claire was instrumental in convincing Nathan to sacrifice himself to save NYC from exploding, so in another sense saving the cheerleader *did* save the world, if world = NYC, because being alive and able to speak her mind to Nathan certainly helped lead Nathan to his own sacrifice. So it works both ways, as a prophecy with many potenital meanings and ramifications should.

Ah-- healing ability. I was just watching the "save the cheerleader, save the world" episodes and thinking that Claire was less active in the end than I would have thought from all that.

the first person who said this was Future!Hiro, right? i think he was just being dramatic. "save the cheerleader, save New York" just doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?
