I think it would have been fun if Jason Hughes was replaced.

I read at tvbythenumbers that this will affect the fall run of the show in that there won't be one. The rest of season 1 airs this summer and summer 2 will be midseason.

Futurama's "Into the Wild Green Yonder," not "Blue."

Your standard-def Fox station cropped it?? I was watching Simpsons in HD but I read the SD broadcast would be letterboxed. My Fox station (Fox 5, New York) shows HD King of the Hill in letterbox, so I'll assume Simpsons was letterboxed too. Sounds like showing it full-screen was your local affiliate's decision, not the network's.

Niki/Jessica isn't lying around burnt up. Tracy saw Niki/Jessica in a casket last fall. Remember, the whole bit with Micah helping Tracy find Zimmerman?

Don't know for sure how Arthur knew, but it's possible that he drew something with Isaac's ability to clued him in on where and when to go to (one of Isaac's paintings from season 2 was of Hiro and Adam clashing in ancient Japan, establishing that precog paintings can be of events in the past that time travelers have yet to experience).

He did what he did because no matter how many powers he has, he needed the catalyst plain and simple.

Daphne ran with Flint in tow earlier this season, so it's nothing new. She didn't necessarily "carry" them; they could have been running themselves while holding onto Daphne, making it ability-sharing via proximity, like how Niki could phase through walls with D.L., or Adam could with Peter.

Season 1 had one incidence of the Haitian's powers being active in this manner. He and Eden subdued Sylar in the woods and was using his ability to mute Sylar's, while Eden was still free to work her suggestive mojo in order to get Sylar to comply.

Ah, that's a better question, one I was asking myself. The writers have stated in online Q&A's that Maury was locked up in Level 5 and escaped during the breakout we saw. In fact, it was easy to miss, but last season, following Maury's nightmare imprisonment, Matt Parkman was looking over that group photo of the company founders and while most were labeled "dead," Maury was labeled "incarcerated" so the company got him locked up by that point. I guess we're left to assume that Parkman let his father out of his nightmare once he was securely locked up in Level 5.

Only problem then is that Nathan's visions of Linderman this season PRECEDED the Level 5 breakout by one episode, so... how was Maury already working for Arthur at that point? THAT is a legitimate continuity error, but not a show-ruining one, IMO.

Ando has been speaking English since season 1. Hiro used Ando frequently to communicate with people. Remember when Ando showed up at Niki's place thinking she'd help because they had chatted online? Ando was able to communicate with the cops just fine. When Peter called to tell Hiro that Future Hiro said they're supposed to meet, Ando was their inbetween on the phone.

And as for 9th Wonders, as I explained in comments above, in series timeline, Isaac died in November 2006 and it is now only a few months later (Nathan was shot on March 20, 2007 and Season 3 picked up right where they left off, resulting in the awkward situation of having it still be spring 2007 on a show airing in fall 2008). Isaac only needed four or five months' worth of comics done at the time he died for there to be new issues finished, and comics are often finished long ahead of their release date.

As I already replied to cdawg, next week, Seth Green and Breckin Meyer's characters will explain how 9th Wonders is still in print. It probably amounts to the real-life fact that comics are often finished far, far ahead of schedule. It works because, despite being on the air for 2 years, less than a year has passed in the series' timeline since the pilot. Season 1 took place in Oct/Nov 2006, Season 2 took place four months later (Nathan was shot on March 20, 2007), and Season 3 picked up right where Season 2 left off, meaning it's still spring 2007 for the characters and Isaac would only need to have had four or five months' worth of comics lined up before he died for there to still be new episodes. Plus, in the Season 1 finale he gave a fan his sketchbook, and the writers have said they may use that sketchbook to keep Isaac's drawings in play if need be.
