Heroes 1x04 Collision

Argh! Another cliffhanger ending!

That was a pretty awesome ending though. Hiro! From the future! He is like Kyle Reese! And he's all army-like!

I continue to adore the Hiro&Ando scenes, particularly the one in which Ando says, "In five weeks you will die and New York will explode" in English. He must have learned English watching cartoons or reading comics or something! I am also surprised that Hiro cannot say that in English, given that the first thing I ever learned in Japanese was "I will kill you" and "I am the death god" thanks to the wonders of anime.

At least we finally get to see evil!Niki, though I'm still confused as to what her power is. As so many people have already said, MPD is not a superpower. And I actually liked Nathan for about two seconds. But she is a tool of Sylar or whatever that strange symbol is.

I wish Simone and Isaac had more to do.

Claire's story sort of annoys me so far, given the whole rape thing. I wish at least one of the women characters would manage to get a storyline that doesn't have to do with sex. I mean, we're only in episode three too!

But I continue to like Claire.

And Hiro! Eeeeee!

Yes, it was! I thought that was hilarious. It was in the comments of the ridiculous ninja book post.

I also enjoyed the way that the Las Vegas guys who punched out Hiro were so exactly the sort of Americans who appear in manga: trigger-happy thugs in cowboy hats.

Yes, that comment was awesome!

Also, I just love that Hiro gets punched out after Ando attempting to exaggerate. And on a tiny note, I bet Ando's actor is glad he finally gets to speak English again!

I'm a little confused by Hiro's knowing or not knowing exactly as much English as the episode finds convenient (and I'm not mentioning Future!Hiro in this, 'cause clearly he's had several years to work on it by then).

Heh heh heh. Yeah. I sort of handwave that.
