Hiro is certainly adorable. I have a soft spot for the mimic because he is Jess on Gilmore Girls, another of my favorite shows. oddly enough, his brother was amy's boyfriend on judging amy. i can't recall where i've seen the cheerleader before and it's driving me batty! she kinda reminds me of the heroine in "the craft"? I haven't yet seen the pilot or 2nd ep, myself, nor checked out the graphic novel and blog, but just the fact that there is a graphic novel attendant to the show is a great opportunity, imho, for us to expand awareness of manga and doujinshi.....In my dream world I'd advertise cons during commercials.....
I don't recall a nurse guy?
I don't understand Niki....highlight to read questions containing spoilersdid she develop dissociative identity disorder from ptsd? and then her alter ego happens to be able to rip people limb from limb? don't forget we are beginning to see the downsides to superpowers....isolation, persecution, blackmail, mental disintegration, drug addiction, fear, i don't think the cop has woken up from collapsing after being overwhelmed with others' thoughts yet....btw he and the mimic seem like the nicest folks on the show....is the cheerleader's dad a bad guy? is he out to end the world? or save it? was he surprised that his daughter would be involved in the saving of the world? or was that look on his face that he was surprised hat anyone else would know about her abilities? also we shouldn't assume she could never die. she can regenerate from certain things....but we don't know that she's not imperviable, i don't think, or maybe she's limited in number of times this would work. otherwise we would not have to "save the cheerleader [to] save the world". obviously....like in kyle xy...the 'biological parents' presented at the end were fake......suresh's book is claiming quantum leaps in evolution...is the assumption that these qualities are passed down genetically? what about niki and gl's son then? would he have his mom's, his dad's, or some amalgam, or something else?
meantime was this show based on a graphic novel or was the graphic novel created for the show?
meantime for folks unfamiliar, we should plug within the con communities that two of the stars are japanese and that japanese is frequently spoken in the show, as well as the comic book aspects....
