Oh, man, this is just the teaser, and I love it already.
ETA: The pace of revelations in this episode is incredible-- I think more has been revealed in half an hour than in two seasons of Lost, and it's GOOD revelations, unpredictable and cool.
ETA: And it keeps getting better! OMG cranes!!!
People getting mind-controlled can be sure-fire comedy-- see SPN's "Simon Said"-- but "You really want to eat donuts now" cracked me up. And cue meeting of Irresponsible Fuck-up Eden with Silent Possibly Haitian Guy!
And hello, probably-Sylar, Mr. watch repairman who will shortly be poking around in the innermost workings of human skulls rather than watch casings.
Hiro's expression before the commercial break is to die for.
Break.
Hmm, wonder if that's the party where the drunkenness occurs that causes the car crash.
Wow, Eden has quite the record. But now I am really hoping that when Silent Possibly Haitian Guy speaks, he actually has a dorky valley-boy accent, and that's why he prefers to stand around and stare silently at people.
Hiro speaks to Hiro! Look out, space-time continuum! It's moments like this that really make the show.
Break.
I bet when we next see Hiro, his English is six months worth of better.
Wow, so Jessica was Niki's dead sister? And her father (I think that was her father?) is evil? Probably a child abuser?
OMG so THAT's how the accident happened! OMG! I love it! So crazy and outrageous and unpredicable, yet logical.
Also, I am mildly interested that Papa Petrelli is in the Mafia or something, but very interested in Peter's prophetic dream. He shouldn't be able to do that unless someone was near him.
Break.
The cranes were the loveliest romantic gesture ever. And the hug was so sweet! I want to see Hiro and Memory Waitress in Tokyo together!
But wait, Memory Waitress didn't know Hiro when she met him in the present timeline, so this all makes what we're seeing with them an alternate timeline, not the past. Unless one of the several memory-wipers on this show got to her.
Niki/Jessica is a better actress than I thought at first, because I am never confused as to whether it's Niki or Jessica, even at a single glance at her face. So... sister-Jessica was killed by their father? And then Niki borrows money from the mob because Jessica trashed evil Dad's check.
Break.
Wait, I thought Hiro and Memory Waitress were going to go to Japan? Or were the tickets for somewhere else?
Oh, man. Poor Memory Waitress. Poor Hiro.
I am now wondering just how sequential this episode was, even not counting Hiro's time-hopping. I had thought Mr. Bennet knew how to find the heroes by talking to Mohinder's Dad, but the scene where they met came after the scene where he brought in Eden.
Break.
Oh, poor Hiro.
Preview: THEY BETTER NOT HURT MY HIRO! OR CLAIRE!
We didn't see Isaac's origin, nor DL discovering his power. (THEY BETTER NOT HURT DL EITHER!) Sad to say, I think I could survive the loss of Isaac.
