We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

What Theodosia says. I have to just go with it w/o trying to understand it too much. Particularly on Heroes where I don't think that they creators have put all that much thought into it.

I also enjoyed moments of Hiro with his 10-year old self, and with Kaito. (I came up with a theory that Hiro is better when he's speaking in Japanese than when they have him speaking in English.)

I have to admit that I was kind of hoping that Sylar was Angela's son but not Arthur's. Oh well.

I thought that Fuller wasn't coming back until the third arc this season?

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I see no reason why Meredeth has to be dead. Even out of control, she's immune to her own powers. I suspect, once the adrenaline burns itself out of her system, she'll simply hightail it out of there. (Superhero trope #1: No body, no death. Alas, this probably holds true for Sylar, too. Sigh.)

I think that we were supposed to think that she exploded, a la Ted. If she makes it out of the building collapse, she should be fine. but, as you say, if there's no body, they will be back.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I want the dead people to stay dead. Show has too many characters already.

I know the producers have made noise about how "Fugitives" will be COMPLETELY UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE THE SHOW HAS SEEN, but isn't it just (bits of) S1 all over again with The Government standing in for The Company?

Noah always had to work under the radar, now they have the authority. Are they going to use the formula on the soldier's to create "sentinels"?

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

Well, it's better than another iteration of, to steal a joke from TWOP: "The world's about to end! We have to save Claire!"

I kid, but the biggest weakness on this show has been that it keeps trying to repeat the same story over and over again, and it bugs. If they can get back to real character stuff again, they might be able to get it back. If not, they're doomed. (Of course, dropping Loeb and the other writer and bringing back Fuller makes me hopeful.)

Jessica, I was thinking that this show is more "whatever has happened before will happen again" than BSG.

I am now watching this show with my Smallville Goggles. I have no expectations for character development or consistency, but hope for a decent superhero yarn. Last night delivered, mostly, and here's hoping the Fugitives chapter does the same.

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

Haaaa ha ha. I think I may have to start using that.

That means Nathan is Lex, right?

There's only two arcs this season. From Sumi's link 50 posts up, Fuller comes in on episode 19. The next arc starts with episode 14, so he comes in about halfway into it.
