The Racialicious Roundtable For Heroes 4.9
Mahsino: Really? I actually hated that Ando was reduced to a walking anime parody. And beyond the wrongness of it all, Hiro could’ve just frozen Ando’s face.
Diana: Given that Hiro supposedly kills Ando in the future, I don’t think freezing Ando for that purpose would have been good for their friendship. LOL
Erica: They’re just there to provide Teh Silliness. I like comedy, but I’m starting to get BORED! They aren’t even making their own choices anymore; last season they were manipulated by Papa Petrelli, this season they’re working for Rebel. (Comic relief pawns… Rosencrantz and Guildenstern come to mind.)
Jen*: I’d love to see a complete weird segment between H&A as Tom Stoppard gives R&G with the coin-flipping/tennis references (Like in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead). Because right now – they seem like they are completely for the service of other heroes. Are they getting extra perks from Nissan? Cuz this seems like a throwback to Season 1 in the Versa, and they’re the only ones involved in car sales.
Andrea: Passive, yeah, Even more, helpmates to white characters’ development, namely giving Matt Parkman someone else to love– his child. We got to see Matt become more complex human being (He has love, compassion, and rage wrapped up in one body! Wow!) and Hiro and Ando as some most excellent babysitters.
One more shot of Hiro, as he’s the star of Caption the Pic!
Diana: I went to Somewhere in Africa and all I got was this stuffed giraffe who keeps giving me the stink-eye.
Mahsino: I’m just going to back away slowly on this one.
Erica: I’m coming to save you, Usutu!
( 
Jen*: I’ll take your word for it that it’s SFW … but I’ve got nothing on this one.
Andrea: Another -1000 points on the Masi Oka Dignity Scale.
Prediction time: what are the Benetrellis going to find in the Arizona desert?
Diana: Aside from the skeletons we’ve already seen? A spaceship? Bad cheese? The Haitian? (BTW I think that actor is now on Fringe. Hopefully he has a real name and a substantive role on that show.) I hope they find a clue.
Mahsino: I think we all know the answer to that question: we’re going to find a contradictory flashback (are we supposed to forget that Papa Suresh only had proof of people with abilities based on his daughter and theories?).
Erica: Lots and lots of sand. (Oh, and a contradictory flashback. Ignore all previous realities!)
Jen*: Claire’s long-lost great-auntie, queen of the wigs.
Andrea: The skull and the buried-conspiracy talk are red herrings. They’re really looking for ways to salvage their careers.
Open Mic!
Diana: I just don’t understand how Danko has game with the ladies. He looks like a troll. He looks like the back end of a troll. He looks like Gollum sans the CGI effects. [Is that you, my Precious?] Did I mention that I find Danko butt ugly unattractive?
