Heroes 1.5: Hiros

[drewbear]

Future!Hiro couldn't come up with something a little less cryptic than "Save the cheerleader, save the world"? Hmm... Well, he did say that meeting Peter AT ALL was risking trouble.

Wait, in the comic, Claire was already clear of the car when the paramedics got there. Continuity error, or did I just miss something.

So... Nathan's been practicing, has he? Impressive jet stream, too.

Poor Niki... she's got to be terrified, what with ikiN doing things with her body that she doesn't really want done.

Hiro is SO fanboying all over Nathan. :-) Most. Adorable. Hero. Ever.

So Mr. No Thoughts brain-wiped Thought Police, huh. Was it just to cover up the experimentation/monitoring?

Creepy Dad is able to make the Odessa-Vegas trip WAY too fast.

I repeat: Hiro is the most adorably geeky superhero ever. And hey! he's experiencing the joy heartbreak of trying to read instructions in a different language. :-P

I'm feeling mroe and more sorry for Niki as the season progresses... she actually *IS* trying to be the best person that she can and things keep NOT working out for her.

Same thing for Matt: he's trying to do the best he can, but keeps inadvertently screwing it up.

Aaaaaand Jock the Rapist isn't going to survive this meeting with Creepy Dad, is he?

Yup. There's Brainwipe to make sure that THIS version of JtR no longer exists.

Hmm... did Peter just deliberately mimic Isaac? Looks like someone is gaining control. Ooooo... Creepy Future Eyes look creepier on Peter than they do on Isaac.

Oh, Claire... Daddy Dearest already got a hold of Jock the Rapist. Talk about your "second chances", indeed.

At last, we have a picture of D.L.

Oh my lord... Ando actually did go to visit Niki! That would make him the creepiest stalker ever, yet kinda dorky at the same time.

Wow, Nathan's good at that politician's smile.

I think that Matt's wife is getting more than marginally creeped out by Matt's perfect responses. And it looks like he's heading for a Jean Grey telepathic meltdown, too. ::sigh:: yet again, he uses his power for good, but gets himself in trouble while doing so.

Aww... pathetic Ando is nicer than gamble-holic Ando. But not by much. And yet more of that "duality" theme for Niki.

And even if I hadn't been spoiled that D.L. has powers, that shot would've clued me in.

And the Buddy Flick gets back on track!

And the paint drips like blood.... Not metaphorical at all.

I like the bookend back to the train scene.

FUCK! I hate that the previews give away SO. DAMN. MUCH.

Oh yeah, and of course Nathan has been practicing his flight skills. You've been reading the comics on the NBC Heroes site, right?

Yeah, I have, but it's supplemental stuff, remember. Technically, we don't need to read that to know what's going on. And in any case, Nathan's been practicing a lot more than would be indicated in that comic.
