I'm usually thinking about how Hiro's power works and the implications. When I watch an episode where I know some of what is to come, I am looking for clues to what will come beyond what I am seeing now. Kring and co have given us a very fun game in this. Now when Nathan was revealed to be Claires bio-father I was pissed. It seemed to me to be a pointless, soap-operaish plot point. But there was some redemption in later drama that stemmed from the revelation that *did* expand and advance the story. I just dislike the idea that everyone is related to everyone else in some kind of shipper fantasy. > > Of course my two favourite characters are Hiro Nakamura > and the cheerleader. > Same here. I think the best thing about the show is the expansive cast. East Asians, South Asians, Carribeans....the show is more like the world than any other fiction on American television. Next year they will have Hispanics!<G> xponent With Subtitles Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
