Oh, thanks! I can't help myself, I keep looking for the metaphors... As for the NBC one, I've been getting them off iTunes, so it doesn't have that. I guess I find Saresh's summing up bits a little too much. Count yourself lucky, then. This also gives me hope that the NBC guy won't be on the DVDs either. As for Saresh, yeah, but his voice is one that I could probably enjoy listening to him reading the phone book. What he's saying probably doesn't make a lot of sense, but I can't say I've paid much attention to the content. Hee! The hotness is very distracting.

Erin!! Great review! I love how you paired the characters to discuss. I loved your musings on past and future, looking forward and back. Really liked how you compared Hiro and Isaac. Nice catch on spotting that Nathan has been encouraged to "fly" in his professional life, somewhat at the expense of his brother and thus he is also the first to really fly. I also liked the points you make about Niki's split seeming to relate to how she has been emotionally splitting herself into mom and stripper, etc. I notice other folks have been discussing this idea too as we move further into the series. It's an intriguing notion and it makes me even more eager to see where they are going with her story. Other cool parallels you pointed out that I had missed: Hiro's arrest at the end of the previous ep and Matt's at the end of this ep and Matt's mind reading and his appointment with a therapist. Neat! Also, eetah on the Hiro worship love! He's definitely my favorite character. His joy and sense of purpose, his dorky cuteness and the smokin' hotness of future!Hiro, he's just fab! Ooh, I haven't seen Future!Hiro yet! I do love him, though; it's nice to see someone reveling in their powers without getting consumed or maudlin about it. His reaction to being in New York made me want to hug him...and the tremolo in his voice when he's calling for Isaac... (Sorry, that part really got to me.) And thanks for your compliments and comments on the review; for some reason it took me a long time to get it written. (A reviewer in search of a metaphor am I.) And there are so many stories to tell, which can be good and bad; good because they have a wealth of material to work from; bad if they get bogged down in the mythology or play games with the viewer. Still, I think there is a lot of potential to this show, and I can't wait until they start to really meet one another...
