Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

he's a persistent enough one to be shared by Hiro, Ando, and Arthur Petrelli when Parkman's on the other side of the world

Before or after his death?

"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

Before, but I thought the speculation was that he was Parkman's hallucination from his first appearance.

I thought he appeared after he died. Anyway, I thought she meant after his death.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Speaking of whom, not only did Usutu have, as Jess put it a while back, the worst power ever -- clairvoyantly painting the life of Matt Parkman -- now it seems he's also cursed having to haunt the guy after death

On a side, nit-picky note, that scene was muy distracting to watch because in some camera angles he had his staff across his shoulders and in other angles he was holding it in front of him, it was just instantly popping back and forth while the angles changed. Granted, it can easily be hand-waved as "freaky hallucination effect" or whatever, but their shot continuity person was apparently sleeping during that scene.

I assumed it was on purpose.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Maybe it was like the PM's tie in Love Actually. They didn't notice it at first but decided it was amusing and kept it.

I didn't notice it but I was watching on my computer.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Anyway, I thought she meant after his death.

I meant all the time, but it was mostly just wishful thinking. The magic negro trope makes me twinge, especially in a show with two white people who are effectively immortal and two who have come back from the dead.

Someone remind me why this show is called "Heroes", please?
