Heroes 1: We Could Be Heroes  

[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!

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

The last we saw of Larter she'd turned herself to ice. Which is too much like turning yourself to water for me to think it's a whole new sister, as opposed to new tricks of an old one.

And to continue the X-Men analogies, as Lord knows the show begs us to (And, hey. It works best when they're being a little X-rip-offy, so who's to judge) Iceman started with the ability to reduce things' temperatures, and to create ice. Over time, and if I recall due in no small part to trauma, that became the ability to actually transmute himself and other things into ice. As ice and water are the same thing in different states, I'd say it's a plausible leap. Or, at the very least, precedented.

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

And since Larter²'s power wasn't related to Larter¹'s, there's no reason to assume a third would be that close.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

OK, OK, I give in. You guys are probably right.

Sister #3 has no reason to seek revenge that we know of.

However, "you killed my sister!" seems like a reasonable motive to me.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Though I do recall an article saying she was most sincerely dead, which I hate HATE hate, just as I hated it in BSG. Lying to me is different from keeping me unspoiled--just in this case I chose to ignore them.

Wasn't that about Nicki though?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Also, on a tangential note, am I the only one who's ecstatic they didn't leap to Claire's magic blood to save Nathan? Seriously. We can pretend it never happened. I'll be fine with that. I'm not one of those people who feel a TV show should be forever bound by their earlier bad decisions.

I'm willing to extent this courtesy to movie franchises as well. Midichlorians need never have been.

No, Fuller said that once he came back, he was going to kill off two characters, and the deaths would stick. Daphne and Tracy were offed in the same episode.

Couldn't that now be interpreted as Daphne and Nathan? or did he specifically say he was killing them immediately and in the same episode?

Oh, that's true. I don't think he specified that the deaths would be immediate upon his return, but the fact that two people died as soon as he came back made it sound like that's what he meant. I had initially assumed he'd meant that two people would die by the end of the season.

I read that Tracy specifically was D-E-D.
