if only there was a conveniently placed pole for her to do the 619, she would've beaten them down...

even if she knew she couldn't take them, why not just go back out the window once they came in? And if the comic was really a prophesy about them (it was drawn by Isaac, right?) maybe Micah should've mentioned that she gets caught...

I'm surprised when Micah said, "You're St. Joan!" to her we didn't get this response:

"Joan was my mother. She was a saint..."

The Nikki thing was pretty strange because it's not like it added anything to the moment. I don't remember the exact line but it was something stupid as shit, and it was really obvious even the sound of her voice was completely different.

As for Victoria, I'm sure there will be an explanation but I don't see what they can do to make it believable. Obviously they wouldn't make such a big deal about who she was and explain the scar on her face only to NOT explain why she's in the picture being far older than when she supposedly quit the company

I think the REAL explanation for a lot of the inconsistencies can be chalked up to rushing the storyline due the the writer's strike.

I'm betting the storyline was going to unveil more slowly, but we are being rushed up to the conclusion in these last two episodes. That would explain why the series seems to be in hyperdrive now.

I don't anything was rushed due to the writer's strike -- except for the new ending that was made for next week's episode.

Hold on a sec - wasn't Monica treated by the Company with the No-more-powers formula, or did I just imagine (read: wish for) that?

I thought Suresh backed out of that, and she kept her powers.

If the scene with the guy playing Hiro's dad who looked nothing like Takei wasn't a strike rush thing, somebody doing casting really needs to be fired.

The episode was already intended to end the current story arc, with a new arc beginning after the winter break. Shortly before the strike began a quick rewrite was ordered that would make the episode work as a season finale if the writer's strike continued long enough to make completing the rest of the season impossible. AFAIK, we haven't reached that point yet.

well, she didn't watch a video of people parkouring DOWN from a building/window. so she just didn't know how to do it.

and guys, the graphic novel clearly says it was the revolutionary war. not civil, or civic, for that matter.
