Now I really want Jeffster to show up to save the day in the finale, rocking out to score Malina and Luke's eventual stare-down with the solar flare.

I missed the Trackanon emblem—thanks for pointing it out!

Two thoughts: Surprisingly, I'm totally okay with the show throwing Parkman under the bus. It's been years and who knows what all has happened to him to move him to this point. Because he's had such little screen time and still feels vaguely Parkman-y to me, I'm very comfortable assuming he has his reasons, which we…

I disagree that it's not unusual, but you're right, it has happened more than once. I've reworded that stray to reflect this.

I'm currently going with the theory that Nathan's ability to absorb powers triggers when people use their abilities right by or while touching him, so during childbirth, when Claire's ability triggered to save her, or when Hiro teleported back in time. But that's pure conjecture. Infants having abilities is…

I guess to me, having the same ability as your great-aunt or somesuch is different than "of course! The Petrellis all power-absorb". It seems more random than that to me. Maybe you'll have the same or similar ability, maybe you won't. Micah's a technopath, his mom has superstrength, his dad can phase through objects,…

Yes, but that was an exception. Matt's son doesn't share his ability. The folks over at Heroes Wiki have a whole entry on inherited abilities (http://heroeswiki.com/Abili… that looks accurate, as I glance over it, with a table of relatives' abilities. Almost all of them are unrelated to each other.

I can't decide if I want to see the sales pitch. We should, but I'm skeptical the show could sell it. It's one thing with Phoebe, since they indoctrinated her and she seemed to have a bit of Stockholm Syndrome going on. It should take one hell of a pitch to win over someone when their intro to the plan is their sister…

My take on Quentin is also shaped by the prequel webisodes, which show a character much more in keeping with Quentin mark 1 than mark 2.

Unless she already knows Hiro and knows that's baby Nathan/Tommy, but also knows that Hiro doesn't know her yet. Life of a time traveler and all. (It's also possible I'm giving the show way too much credit.)

You're not alone—I was certain it was a fakeout, if only because her randomly being dead, and that not being a huge deal/shocking/assumed-to-be-a-cover-story-by-everyone-who-ever-fought-alongside-her made so much less sense to me. Plus the more a show tries to convince me a character's dead, without showing the body,…

Thanks for the correction!

Fair enough. I'm one of the few that liked that twist, but then again, I was fond of ReBoot back in the day too.

You're right—at least, he doesn't think he has one. They seemed to be hinting at powers for him earlier in the season, but as "Game Over" shows, this was either a mislead, or me reading into shot selection.

Yes, but I didn't get to review "Under the Mask," so I mentioned it here. It felt relevant, given his outing in this episode.

Yes, Hiro is not Miko's father, but Hiro *is* a teleporting time-traveler whose sword wound up in Miko's father's possession. Seems possible to me that Hiro somehow imbued his sword with an aspect of his teleporting ability before Hachiro Otomo ended up with it. But who knows.

None of your logic! (Though one could argue she would've heard them coming up from behind and pulled the trigger before they got to her. Mostly it's plotonium.) The one I enjoy is that there's a whole room of evos strapped in but she's the only one who's conscious. Because.

Yeah, I figure Miko isn't an actual person, somehow. My current guess is that teleporting into and out of the game isn't her ability at all (if she has one), but is something imbued by Hiro into the sword. And I suuuuper don't care about Carlos, but I think I could really like that chunk of the show if it primarily…

Can it be So You Know Robert Can Dance with Kathryn? All All Stars, all the time, and still hosted by Cat, of course.

I must've misheard it- thank you for the correction!
