kd7sovFirst, a few reactions to last night's Heroes
Parkman Sr.'s power, if my suspicions are correct, is quite possibly the scariest yet introduced, including Maya's. I don't believe that he reads minds, at least not the way Matt does. I think he reaches into minds and twists their perceptions to suit his whims. As he is a rather despicable person, his whims are generally to cause nightmares. Unfortunately, even a suppressor like the Haitian can't stay with him forever, so he needs to die. However, the only people who make a habit of killing supers are the Company and Sylar; the first are allied with him, and the second oughtn't get his hands on this one.
Also, there wasn't nearly enough Hiro. (By the way, Hiro, you shouldn't be tremulously saying "the three of us against an army". You think of life as a video game, yes? You've played Final Fantasy IV, right? The part with the defense of Fabul? And countless other video games in which small numbers hold off large numbers for long times. Admittedly, the three of you have only one sword between you, but there are ways around that.)
In related news, I got the latest Scientific American yesterday, and in it found a review for a book entitled Enhancing Evolution. My first thought was to make sure the author wasn't a Suresh.
Also in that issue was a column by Robert Zubrin. This made me grin for a bit.
