Simon ,'Objects In Space'
[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!
Well, that was interesting. Any theories on what, exactly, Maya's power is--other than "don't scare me or people die"?
I was definitely having Wonderfalls and Doublemeat Palace flashbacks during the Copy Kingdom scenes.
And I think it's inevitable that Hiro will become his own hero...
Something to do with their blood? Because they were all "weeping" blood.
Takeo Kensei is SO "I am not the original Dread Pirate Roberts, however..."
yeah, I'm not sure he's working for me yet, but I am enjoying the period stuff.
So no guesses yet as to who took out Takei? He was wearing a hoodie, didn't look old to me. Nathan? Whoever it was had to ability to fall from that height without getting hurt and to make a fast getaway.
Also I couldn't tell who's scarred face Nathan saw in the mirror, his own or his brother's. I thought it was his own. It confused me.

Burrell is me.

It looked too black to be blood. Whatever she does, I'm wondering if her brother has a real power (as opposed to just a calming influence) to prevent Maya's power from activating.
Heh. This is the first show in a long while that I wake up in the morning and want to rewatch before I go to workschool.
From Joanna Weiss at the Boston Globe:
A new season of "Heroes" begins, and everybody gets new hair!
Claire has moved to California, but left her curling iron back in Texas. Her dad, HRG, is an assistant manager at Kinko's, which apparently pays well enough to live in a fabulous house. Nathan never got to Congress, got divorced, and still hasn't shaven his breakup beard.* A Mexican woman joins the cast and makes people bleed from their eyes. Hiro discovers that his Japanese hero is an Englishman. (That's Sark, to you "Alias" fans.) Ando tries to save Commander Sulu, but doesn't make it in time. Matt Parkman is divorced and mind-reads his way through the NYPD exam. Peter has lost his cowlick and traded place with Jack Bauer. Nikki is nowhere to be found, but appears to be coming in future episodes. Shucks.
Overall assessment: Kinda stupid, kinda fun. Other opinions welcome.
(* see the season premiere of "How I Met Your Mother." Which I adored. It's great to be in the company of old friends.)
I also thought those were the worst Irish accents this side of Angel.
Oh hell yes. Good grief. The lucky charms leprechaun is better.
I think Ando and Saito had been waiting 4 months for Hiro in the current timeline. I'm unclear how long Hiro has been in the past. I'm not sure it matters depending on when Hiro comes back to the current timeline.
Papa Petrelli, IMO, did not kill himself. I think there is enough doubt around this to argue that he perhaps was murdered.
...or that he's the murderer...
Remember that when Hiro went back a year, he was gone for several(?) days in the present timeline -- so 4 months for several hundred years seems a bargain, really.
Also: you definitely can change the past in the Heroes 'verse, but it's not easy. And sometimes you're actually making the past more like you thought it was, thinking that you are changing things for the better.
Timeline changing: not for the wibbly.
FWIW: My roommate, she of many Irish relatives and trips to the Ol' Sod, thought the lead guy's accent was authentic, just not one that we hear a lot of.
