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.

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

Wasn't that about Nicki though?

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

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.

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

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

but she blinked as she was going into the sewer. I never did see her as "dead."

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

yeah, I really thought that she would be back. I wonder if the nakedness with the water was because she was a woman. Would they have done that with a man? I'm thinking of this vis a vis Sylar's clothes changing with his face.

"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

His pants proved remarkably resistant to being fried off him by Elle's lightning bolts, so I'm thinking they wouldn't.

I know that you were thinking "burn, baby, burn!"

Heh. Actually, I think my thought process was "Oh come on! electricity wouldn't cut cloth into little scraps like that, it'd just scorch it and set it on fire!" And then the implausibility of Elle getting all huggy and grateful with the man that twisted the top of her father's skull off like a bottlecap distracted me.
