nd on the big screen, he is probably best remembered as the philandering high school teacher who made a very explicit remark about Reese Witherspoon's anatomy in Election.

THAT'S where I recognized him from. But he looks a little like Jerome Krabbe (but too young) and Henry Czerny (but not thin enough).

butbutbutt...how did Kensei get to the future?

Tiggy, I'm guessing that his regenerative ability keeps him from aging and that he got to the future at the same rate the rest of us do.

that would mean the same would be true for Claire though. do they add years onto their life every time they die??? i'm so confused.

Well, either he hitched a ride somewhere, or regenerating makes you sort of immortal...ish? Something? No idea.

Yeah, I was assuming the whole regenerating thing meant that he's like the Energizer bunny . . . or, you know, Wolverine. Take your pick.

That was the best episode ever!

Now, if we can get screencaps of shirtless wet Peter Petrelli to ita. . .

So, is Adam Takezo Kensei Elle's father AND Peter and Nathan's father?

Oh, show. You are finally back. Thank Dog for sweeps.

How many people think they're really going to pack ALL the what-happened-after-the-bomb story AND stuff with Adam!Kensei and who-knows-what-else into one hour next week?

(...And if they do, why have we been wasting all this time this season?)

Yeah, I agree that regeneration makes you immortal. Up to a point aging is growth and development, and regeneration does not stop it. Past that point aging is damage and regeneration fixes it, just like it fixes any kind of damage. A bit of a wank, but not much of one.

Anyone want to take bets that Elle's father's name is Adam?

This was my immediate thought: "But Elle doesn't look half-Japanese."

It took me far too long to see my error.
