that's an interesting notion. So going with that thought for a bit then Hiro's mother needs to turn up in a BIG way! But even further, I gotta wonder about Nathan's kids and his wife!

Damn, P-C. I really like that suggestion.

Yeah, PC, but in the face of what we've seen of him in the comic, I'd have to say that it's unlikely Papa Petrelli has powers. Not sure I like the coincidence of his wife having powers if she wasn't someone he met through working for Linderman, which is why I'm hoping that Linderman had some ulterior motive.

le nubian, it's a neat suggestion, but Au Co is very, very dead. So unless there's a Hero who could have brought her back to life, I don't see how she could appear in the show.

Heh, victor. If we're considering what we've seen in the comic vs. what we've seen in the show, I think the show holds more weight. There's also the part where the writers can change their minds at will as long as they don't contradict what we've seen. It's hard to contradict what we haven't seen.

oh, of course I forgot about the dead part! Au Co could have siblings running around though...

Is all the white font just the comics?

Yes, Cindy. It's really nothing mindblowing or earthshattering, but the discussion stems from what we've seen in the comics.

The main point, in a nutshell, is that it doesn't appear from the comic that Papa Petrelli had powers. He and Linderman served in the military together, and when Linderman displayed his healing power, Petrelli was surprised. Years later, after Papa Petrelli had married Angela and had Nathan, Linderman came to him and asked him to help start the Company. Again, Petrelli makes no mention of his having powers at that point either.

LeNubian -- Do you know about the spoiler font quickedit? Just start a new line with a single lower-case s. It'll save you a lot of time.

And, P-C, the other problem with your flist buddy's suggestion is that Au Co was Vietnamese, not Japanese.

Yeah, that's a problem indeed.

Jon, I am not very good at remembering quickedit suggestions, but thank you for the tip.

As far as your other problem: I have a number of friends who have one parent who is, say, Japanese, and another parent who might be from Singapore or Laos, etc. So I figured a relationship of that sort perhaps could work!

le nubian, right about the posting box, there's a link for quick edit formatting that opens up a cheat sheet on a pop up window. Not that you have to use quick-edit, but if you want to use is, it's there.

Thanks for the comic recap, P-C. I'd thought we were going to stop white fonting them, because discussion of them was part of the proposal and is in the slug and threader, but maybe I forgot, or lost track of the conversation and just made assumptions.

I have a question about this week's episode. After everybody was hurt/dying/whatever in Mohinder's apartment, a table (or something) came flying across the room and struck Sylar. This was after Peter was on the floor and I think "dead". Who did it? Did an unconscious Peter do it, or does Mohinder have powers he/we don't know about?
