Was that really kindness? Wiping the kid's mind? I mean, he said it like he was being kind, but isn't that the best way to murder someone to get rid of evidence--a murder where the body is still alive?
We got an antenna for our TV. Episodes 2-4 were on Sunday night, so I downloaded the first episode and we watched it (turned out to be the pilot instead of the first episode though--there were a couple things we had to assume were different from the version that finally aired, since 1. Isaac cut his own hand off to get out of handcuffs and paint stuff. This didn't seem to have happened in episode two, and 2. Niki's son stole $300 from his babysitter's purse and got on a bus, presumably to go meet his dad. This must have been cut as well), then watched the marathon. Â And boy is it fun to watch.
I liked that Claire went to apologize. Her trying to kill him by crashing the car really put her in a bad light. Of course, she's a messed up kid anyway.
When Nathan flies, he flies DANG FAST. I am pretty sure he broke the sound barrier. Of course, going that fast wearing only pajama bottoms, they should have been whipped off by the wind, but oh well.
There are things I just let slide to enjoy this series, because it's a superhero show and...it's just cool. The whole genetics thing? Old excuse that's bogus. Isaac's home address and phone number printed in the back of his comic book? No way. And Future-Hiro's accent while speaking English is far too good to be a progression of Current-Hiro's English skills. It's nigh impossible to get an accent that native-sounding as an adult. (Hiro's buddy's English has a very authentic Japanese accent though.)
Oh, and I hate the voiceovers. And don't like the hype. The tagline "SAVE THE CHEERLEADER, SAVE THE WORLD" is just dumb. It's okay in the show, but the way they're hyping it is lame. Oh well, I guess NBC feels they have to do something to promote it, since they're spending 2.6 million dollars per episode.
Anyway...our TV reception is pretty dang terrible. We're going to try to get a better aerial, but until then...is the black guy who wipes memories the same person as Niki's husband?
