Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

[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!

I like this theory.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

so, can Claire's blood do what Adam's blood can do? I wonder when she will find out about this?

Presumable Peter's blood would now work for this as well.

We still don't know why Sylar doesn't have access to his powers, do we?

Sylar's power seems to be figuring out how things work by direct observation, be it watches or brains. What if the Haitian made him forget how all those brains he observed worked?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Presumable Peter's blood would now work for this as well.

Maybe, maybe not. I think it's fair to presume that Peter's powers aren't "on" all the time.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Depends whether Peter takes on the physical attributes, or if he's just able to mimic the talent. Not that I really think the show should address this, because I'm sure the fake science would make people sad.

Trust my rage

Depends whether Peter takes on the physical attributes, or if he's just able to mimic the talent.

I was wondering about this. I see Peter do stuff all the time and then wonder why he didn't do it an easier way since he has that power. For example (and I know he didn't know this at the time) he healed, like Claire and Adam. So, if he has their power, shoudln't his blood alone have been able to heal Nathan.

There were a few other examples, but I forget what they were.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Maybe, maybe not. I think it's fair to presume that Peter's powers aren't "on" all the time.

I'd tend to think regeneration would be the exception to that since it's an automatic unconscious process. But I can see Peter's power being some kind of highly versatile mimicking field he projects rather than a case of him assuming the genetic characteristics of all the people whose powers he's duplicated. If that's the case, at a certain remove his extracted blood would just be plain old blood.

Of course, now I'm wondering if any blood or other living cells removed from Adam or Claire remain alive indefinitely. Outside of their own souped-up metabolisms I can easily see such becoming a contagious carcinogenic agent.

This week's easter egg - it's like a still from one of AP's videos.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I assume Maya's parents were casualties of an unfortunate viewing of Old Yeller, but no one made the connection?

Didn't she tell Alejandro at the church that the wedding was the first time the black eye goo thing had happened? I would think if it had happened before, Alejandro would've known.

Definitely wondering if Claire and Peter's blood can do the same thing that Adam/Takezo's can. And trying not to think about bits and pieces of Claire and Adam able to live on removed from their bodies because that means that somewhere in Claire's living room is a zombified pinkie toe growing a long ass nail and just YUCK all over to that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

You know, now I wonder whether the people who make the comics get paid anything at all. It's promotional, right?

I'd assume they get paid for their work, but that they get no additional residuals based on pageviews.
