Oh, hey - y'all realize that next week is the date we're supposed to expect the blowing up of New York? Dang. And Hiro and Ando haven't even made it out of Vegas yet. There goes that city....

No way Niki's actually dead.
She might wind up to be one of the bad "Heroes" though. Assuming there will be good and bad ones, that is.
Interesting how they keep changing up the opening credits (adding Leonard Roberts, for example), depending on who appears in the episode...yet Jack Coleman, the actor who plays HRG Scary Daddy, is listed as a special guest star rather than a regular.
I guess it's probably just contractual stuff because of the sheer size of the cast...though "Lost" - whose roster is even larger - lists everyone, every week.

when did they start putting the names of the characters on the screen before the scene starts? I don't remember that.

Matthew, I read somewhere that we shouldn't necessarily assume that time on the show moves in concert with RL time. Actually, like LOST, the entire season might actually take place over just a few weeks. Whatever it was I read didn't spell that out, just suggested it.

(We're fans of new Spike, old Spike, any kind of Spike of course). I think they've been putting the name and location of each character up in the first scene in which they appear all along.

My favorite moment: The utter rapture on Hiro's face when he said "I had a sword?"
I hope Niki's dead--that DL stopped her heart for good--because she has no control over Mad Dog Killer Niki. That was just perfect. The actor playing Hiro is just all kinds of terrific. He nailed that. All of Hiro's scenes last night were so good. NotNiki's slaughter of the poker game players were truly scary. Well done. I don't think Niki will be dead - I just doubt they will take her out of the game like that and all the promo pics always seem to have Ali Lanter prominently placed - I don't see her struggles against the evil NotNiki as over yet. D.L. just have grabbed something to cause her to pass out. I don't think he killed her. Lungs maybe?

This was one heck of an episode, and I'm looking forward to reading all the comments later. Before I forget, however, before it's time to feed cats and wake Kitty, Sara called it! Last week, the PanUniversal Voice of Reason said, <snipped> I've wondered for a while whether Niki's alter ego didn't commit the murders D.L. was arrested for. Go Sara! Anne, I'll do some kind of dance of awe and worship after I wake up, 'kay? P.S. I think you guys have covered all the burbles I wanted to burble. Good, wasn't it?

So, Nicki tries to tell DL, but he doesn't believe. Alt!Nicki lets Nicki know just how much power she has over her. Lets her know she can mess with her life at anytime. Take away few moments and let her know she was with Michah. Scary!! Will DL believe their son? 'Cuz he knows something is up with mom. "We're not crazy." Cool scene with alt!Nicki and Nicki talking. Back to Hiro - yay! I love how he and Ando each have an important role. Hiro is all "I have a gift. I'm supposed to use it to help people, to save people. I failed." All down on himself. And Ando is there to keep him going - remind him that he's not perfect, he's finding his path, and so on. Oh, Hiro. "Do over." Heee! So I'm guessing these people weren't really her birth parents, then? They were just doing a favor for scary daddy? Woah!! Battle of the superpowered people! Damn! It is soooo cool how DL can, like, go inside stuff. Go into the walls. Eeeeeeep! Go right into Nicki! Oh, and right in front of Micah. . . . that's not good. Isaac! Run! Run from extra!perky!neighbor!girl!!!! Flee from the cuteness, flee! ;D Yes - Eden is giving perky pixis a bad name. Yikes. And of course she was evil - nice scene with Claire's Dad and the "cool" comment about Hiro's powers. Take the precog - ack, ack. I pretty much expected the fake bioparents. I mean - it just had to be so I wasn't expecting anything from this scene. Loved Hiro's moments and liked Ando this week. Well done. Walking through walls is just cool. Fun superpower. Not perhaps as fun as flying but still.

OH - that was Niki's double that invited DL into her bed. Or was it? Hmm.. 9th Wonders - "I'm Uluru." Niki's double killed the card players? To what - save Hiro? Oh, shit! I knew as soon as she kissed him that she was a mole. Bummer. I was beginning to like her. I give the show people credit for really letting her character go for a fair amount of time before revealing her other side. But, yes, she was just too cute and nice and perfect not to be . . . cue dramatic music . . . . someone with a secret! **nods** And I wonder what the significance of him looking at broken glasses is. Did he break them when they tried to grab the politician? Was he thinking about his "other life"? Yes - I was wondering what that was all about too. Awesome icon.

I could start to question the science of Saresh's voiceovers, but I'm enjoying his voice too much.
I had a sword. Hee!
Pitching the comic book idea.
Mr. Muggles?
Found Claire's biological parents. Is there a catch?
DL and Niki
Claire questions about her parents
Glasses Man is a simple guy?
Japanese people are very lucky.
A hero doesn't hide. He does if he wants to live.
Suresh's skepticism
9th Wonders
Glasses Man evesdropping
Yep, Eden is in with Glasses Man.
Glasses Man wearing a pair of glasses and fiddling with another.
Niki's conversation with herself.
Hiro, I think the only mistake you made was going along with Nando's gambling scheme.
Otherwise they can't make a movie about it later.
Here's the catch: the whole thing was a fake.
nobody can tell you who you are; that's just something you gotta figure out for yourself.
More suspicions for Claire.
Claire has a brother?
"moving furniture." is that what they are calling it these days?
AIEEEE!!!!!
Wow, the music...
A lot about discovery in this episode.
I feel like there was a lot of important stuff going on in this episode, and that it was a good one, but I really don't have much to say.

Okay. So, first off, I'm sick of that Pomeranian Woman. Holding the dog while you frost cupcakes? Disgusting. And "better halves". Both the husband and Alter!Nikki? And Hiro and Ando And Claire's Adopted Parents and her FakeReal Parents. And Isaac and Peter.
