'Dirty Girls'
[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!
Using county instead of parish was a stupid, stupid mistake that would not have been made had anyone spent 5 minutes learning anything about Louisiana.
I find it hard to get worked about about mistakes like this. For me, it's on the same level as when Emily Gilmore said she was taking "The 95" up to Boston.
Except that we're the only state in the union with parishes. It's something pretty much everybody knows about us, that and that our laws are based in Napoleonic code. It just makes the setting feel tacked on.
Does anyone refer to highways with the definite article other than Southern Californians?

The Parkway, the Thruway, the Turnpike... :)

You mean like "The 101"? Not that I can think of.

Does anyone outside of California have pink bakery boxes? I'll never forget the first time I was in LA and saw one. I said "look! just like they have on TV!"

And it would make sense to hip the rest of the country to that fact. But I wonder if, rather than a mistake, the word choice was as conscious as the language shifts from the British to the US Harry Potter books. Not a dumbing down so much as a homogenization. Though, I suppose if that were the goal, the entire story line would have been set in Des Moines. It's just that I can hear the writers in the room squeaking...Oh, don't say parish, people will think we are talking about churches.
Quite a bad argument...and useless to boot...but not beyond the realm of possibility.

Washington State.
I think the only time I'd refer to a highway with the definite article is if I were calling it by a name, not the numerical. "The Dan Ryan," for example.
The series of 8 described in Wikipedia:
"Lizards" A painting which depicts the death of Kaito Nakamura. It was said by Noah Bennet to be the first of eight painted before Isaac's death that hadn't come true at the time.Do those descriptions sound right?
"Kindred" A painting which depicts the death of Noah Bennet while a blonde stands nearby with a man in shadows. This is the final painting of the eight that has not come to pass.
"The Line" The rest of the Series of 8 are shown. Claire Bennet lying on a staircase; a man holding a vial of clear liquid; a blonde woman hitting a matalic surface; Peter Petrelli and an unknown man stan(d)ing together, (a biohazard symbol is at the bottom); Hiro Nakamura and Kensei sword fighting; Mohinder Suresh after firing a pistol.
