Ancient Egypt actually had a wide diversity of ethnic groups living within it. Their skin ranged from very light to very dark. If you look at their artwork, you can see that they recorded that too. It's not like they had caucasians living there, but they were by no means all dark skinned. There were plenty of light

I am one of the few people who actually think that Kotor2 had a decent ending. Light side, anyway. EndGAME, not so much. The vanishing of all the party members was inexcusable and sloppy, and the final dungeon was an uninspired and boring slog that amounted to little more than just fighting your way through a near

"Mockery: Oh, master! I do not trust you! I do not know if I will ever trust anyone ever again!" Yes. HK-47 dialog in KOTOR2 is god. And we haven't even gotten into the "Definition: Love is" speech yet.

You GAIN affection with Alistair if you call him a "royal bastard" after learning his parentage. That alone is enough to endear him. He's hilarious.

Cal and Jiaying were absolutely believable. Granted, they were absolutely believable as an emotionally manipulative and abusive pairing in which Jiaying cruelly pulled Cal's strings at every turn, but anyone who has had the misfortune to witness or live through one of those relationships would know that they REALLY

They pretty heavily implied that their "frozen" Inhumans were ones that were created and then either refused to submit to Hydra control or had powers that weren't at all useful to them.

Are you kidding? He'd be the best weapon S.H.I.E.L.D. ever had. And his catch phrase "Science, beeyatch" is already battle tested.

Here's what I find laughable: Molly Walker is hunted by Erica and is willing to commit suicide to oppose her to the end. Her two dads Mohinder Suresh and Matt Parkman both work for Erica and she killed one of them. Unless Matt simply doesn't know what Erica has done with and to Molly and Mohinder (unlikely given the

Or they could have recast her and said that her face changed when she regenerated. I hear that is an acceptable explanation.

That particular clone had to hand back the watch because the clone grew from the hand+wrist that the watch was on. That watch wasn't a clone watch, it was the prime watch. Presumably if Katana Girl had chopped off the OTHER hand, the clone would have grown with a clone of the watch.

My theory: Black tentacle girl affects her during childbirth so that she stays down when she goes into cardiac arrest, then doctors in the hospital working for Renautus did something to her to make sure she'd stay dead (maybe cut that part of her brain out entirely?)

Especially when you consider that they already recast one blonde (Molly Walker) in this reboot.

Yeah, that scene was clearly intended to be viewed as "Hiro is flickering in and out while he checks out all the alternate timelines that he might create by doing this or that, and comes to the sad conclusion that anything he does will only make things worse"

She doesn't have direct visions of the future, she has dreams that vaguely tell her what's going to happen. Usually those dreams involve symbolism rather than a direct vision of what's to come. She's got to interpret them correctly for them to be of any use. We saw this in the first show because her visions were the

To be fair, Mohinder straight up tells Angela that no one should ever have any reason to trust her because she's been "a snake in the grass" for as long as he's known her. He's not wrong. It's hard to think of anyone in the Heroes world less trustworthy than Angela Petrelli.

I think it's a little simpler than that. He needs them to think he's still one of them because otherwise they might get the (accurate) idea into their heads that they could physically overpower and/or kill him if they felt like it. When you're financially extorting people with super strength, you don't want to tip

But then this IS David Anders we're talking about. Not even Heroes Season 2 could make him unwatchable, and there he was exclusively part of what is pretty commonly agreed to be the most excruciatingly painful to watch plot arc in serialized TV.

Blaine himself explained his motivations in last season's finale. Daddy issues, megalomania, and greed. It's really as simple as that, and fortunately when you've got David Anders playing a role that's all you need for a great antagonist.

Yeah, it's not exactly unreasonable for Double Down to not want to go anywhere near panicking amateur with a machine gun. The only surprising thing is that he didn't retreat before getting shot.

You get a Lazarus pit! And you get a Lazarus pit! And YOU get a Lazarus pit!
