Plus, you know, he went and flew into a burning building to save someone in the comic.
Oh, how I wish we got that in an episode! I think it's my favourite comic so far (though Hiro's comes very, very close). I loved that the "angel" left his coat with the Vote Petrelli badge behind (and heh, the girl he saved is named Sheila ;) ), as a sort of reminder that superheroes don't need be angels in their daily life. I admit, I cackled loudly over "Eat your heart out, Petey".
He doesn't *like* it and he doesn't want it, but he can't deny that it *happened*
Okay, good point about Nathan not lying to himself, he's a very intelligent guy, after all. And this makes his story even more interesting, so I'm all for it.
I like your reading of the Petrellis, and that's why I like when you do meta. I like changing my opinion when presented with an angle I missed. ;)
Same goes for Isaac - I think I was looking for enthusiasm, but maybe I was looking in the wrong place.
It is awesome that she doesn't kill the guy!
Yeah, after the disappointment passed, I realized it's actually great, because it doesn't make her a killer, and it's not like he can say "well, this girl crashed the car right into the wall, but she doesn't have a scratch or burn mark on her". And she does the right thing, because she's a Big Damn Hero.
I was thinking about the way the various powers have been granted - Nathan the shark got the arguably romantic power of flying, Peter who wanted to be special got the imitative power. On the other hand, Niki got more or less what she needed to protect herself and Micah (who, yes, manages to pwn for all the few lines he got).
And sweet geeky Hiro got the coolest one of all - I mean, bending time and space! But we see it's going to change him, and I fear what events may have lead to the serious future!samurai!Hiro.
