Oooooh.
This sounds good. I'm looking forward to seeing that now.
In the UK, Hiro hasn't even acquired the sword yet.
Him and his mate have just stolen the replica from the museum and discovered
the real one is being held by Linderman, and Nathan Petrelli has just sort
of offered to get it for him.
Oh, and we've just encountered Christopher Ecclestone's (the last Dr Who)
character briefly for the first time.
I do think Hiro and his confused pal are the best characters in the whole
show.
I count the days for Wednesday nights to come around. Hahaha
Out of interest, how far behind the US screenings is the UK at the moment?
