This show is awesome. People shouldn't get hung up on the black guy thing. Its not a very bad stereotype, he escaped prison, yes. Was a criminal, yes. But he's also a very good father, who's trying to protect his son.
I dig the Brother dynamic between the kid who can use the powers of those around him, and the one who can fly. I also love the 2 asians. "Waffles! Hooray!" |

There are 3 black people in this show...they all have powers:
The escaped convict has the ability to walk thru walls like Kitty Pride. His son, Micha, controls electronics. The other black guy is a strong telepath.

Actually I'm not sure either of the black guys are really that bad. The one planned a heist but never actually went through with it. He was framed. And the other one still has all the potential to be on the good side.

I didn't say he would be a good guy. I'm just saying that we really don't know yet. So, to assume he's going to be bad is only one of the possibilities.

Okay, let me see if I get this straight. An escaped convict on a TV show is a bad character when he's black, but when he's white, he'd be awesome? That doesn't make any sense at all. And why can't the escapee be black? I don't think crime is limited to a skin colour. Besides, if he was white, someone would need to come up with a damn good explanation for Micah's skin tone.
And did you know that I didn't even consciously notice that the escapee was black? I mean, seriously, he was just "another guy on the show", not "that black guy who is a felon who is on the TV-show". If people in general would stop thinking about people being black and racial discrimination or the possibility thereof, we'd all get along way better.

I'm really liking this show, it's like a live action weekly comic book. Hiro is easily one of the best characters on TV these days. I think the cop has some potential too (I hope he isn't the one getting offed next week).
Kind of bummed about what happened to Charlie. She was a real cutie. But it serves as character development for Hiro. |

Oh, and the last episode was excellent.

Mohinder is a godawful character anyways and should die in the season finale. After explaining everything. Maybe the nuclear guy can blow up in his face or something.
But it was a damned good episode. Too bad the next episode is six whole weeks away.

I always meant to watch this show, but I work during most of it, and I missed the whole 'catch up' night they had for it, showing all the episode up until the new ones... I realllly must catch this show. You'd think I'd remember to TiVo it or something...

I was thinking Peter was more like Mimic from the X-Men. Never really knew a whole lot about Synch.

I feel like the only geek in the world not in love with this show. No, wait.. I have one friend who feels the same as I do, which is "meh." I still watch it, though. And I believe we get to see Doctor #9 starting next week.

It's not a bad thing. Like I could never get into Doctor who. I keep waiting for my geek card to be revoked because of it.
