Hero's Hiro?

Ok, didn't Hiro start out with not being able to speak and his friend
was translating? Tonight he seemed to have no problem talking to the
candidate.

oj...

Yeah, that came out of nowhere. Pretty fluent too.

Wow, great ending though. Is the husband the mysterious memory taker?

Loren Finkelstein...

Nope. Different actor. I haven't seen the brain wiping dude before,
but the husbands been around a while. On Buffy and Smallville.

cloud dreamer...

That was my understanding.

suzee...

Dano...

Absolutely not! What? They all look alike? Come on, clearly a different
fellow.

oj...

marc0ni...

Nope. Completely different ability, judging by the previews. He can
phase into objects to hide.

Agent Smith...

What's amazing is the way these super-powered types manage to find each
other, like when the flying congressman just happens to land outside
Hiro's diner. Now we find out that two have been married and had a kid.
Who is he, Ben Richards? :O

All I saw was a shadowy dude. Don't blame me... Actually, I thought
it wasn't him, since we just saw him somewhere else a few scenes
before.

Electric Frog...

I thought so too initially but his skills seem to be walking through walls,
that's where he came from when one minute he wasn't there

Dano...

Nah...no big deal, my first guess was that, but last week I checked IMdB :)

Haltingly, but he did. Maybe he's picking up the lingo because of his
powers.

Dano...

No, just picking up a bit at a time. The immersion method. He can't read
English at all. Obviously a bright lad, no matter how goofy he acts.

ccrevival...

Isn't it interesting that a guy with the power to control time and
space would tell Peter that "he doesn't have a lot of time" when they

wdstarr...

He said he was risking a "rift" just by being there; presumably the
longer he stayed -- with "longer" measured by _his_ time, not that of
the frozen rest of the world -- the greater the risk would become.

A rift of what, and how bad[1] would such a thing be? I guess we'll
find out eventually.

1: Insert appropriate "Ghostbusters" dialogue here.

met in the subway?

David Johnston...

There's a limit to how long he can do the time freeze trick as far as
I can tell, and guess he had to go back as soon as the freeze wore
off.

suzee...

Yeah, that's what I thought he was referring to. Didn't have a lot of
time to tell Peter what he needed him to do.

Dano...

It may be more dangerous to travel backwards...he would occupy the same time
his earlier *self* currently occupies. A common *time travel* conundrum :)

mikeha.ca...

He said he was risking coming back, he didn't have much time because he
didn't want to create a rift in the space/time continuum.

wdstarr...

I believe that he just said "a rift." Maybe he meant in his pants.

William George Ferguson...

He was shown to know a few English phrases back in the beginning, and has
picked up a few more while he's been in America. He's still not really
fluent. He wasn't able to communicate with Nathan much beyond the
phrasebook level, and he exhausted his speaking and understanding ability
almost immediately with Peter (hence turning the phone so Boy Wonder Ando
could hear and translate as neccesary).

cloud dreamer...

Maybe he stopped time, went to a bookstore and finished the Learn
English in Sixty Minutes audio series.
