Thank you, show, for being respectful to a lethal cultural process. Didn't I see a show about Indians throwing things - garbage, bodies, something - in the river that made them sick? They do eat with rats/eat the same foot as rats because they think rats are gods reimbodied. The government poisons its own people in ways that make Chernobyl look tame. I dunno how respectful I can be about that

Yes, yes they do. My will stipulates that I be cremated and tossed somewhere, too (although I did not specify a body of water). But when they tossed the ashes into the ocean, I did wonder how many people do that and what sort of ecological impact it has. A few people doing it is no big deal, but there are so many of us humans running around.
Super memory girl has to hand the order to the cook, who will look at it several times in the course of preparing the food.
Mo, you heartless dick. Using your dad's funeral to scope out chicks on a beach
I ... yeah. Hard up as I am, it never occurred to me to use my grandmother's funeral as a dude-scoping opportunity. Although nearly everyone at it was elderly or related to me, so there's that.
They let women have positions of power?You mean in India? Oh sure. They've got a female prime minister, or they did. They're wildly misogynistic, too, but they're a very diverse country

It's easier to get attached to a baby than to a grown person. Just is. Kind of like how people often care more about their pets than the humans in their lives. The pets are perpetually infantilized.
I agree about Janice really selling that scene well!
I am bothered by the inaccuracy of the reflection of the light source on the representation of the planet Earth. Given the progress of the horizon line of the shadow, the light source should be/must be moving counter clockwise to the right and further into the field of vision, circling around the planet. Instead, the reflection of the light source shows that it is coming towards the viewer. It's like the planet has two suns which are a significant arc away from each other.
I'm still glad to see a non-Christian religion portrayed respectfully.
There are windows in Isaac's cell. And WTF, she's going to shave him in bed? Or just that little section of his face? Also, how is it she has a canvas with the mural from the floor? I mean, sure, take a picture and have it specialty printed, but ...
Ahah! Mr. Sylar appears! And his watch is one of the first things we see of him.
And OMG, I really, really should have watched this earlier, and not attempted to watch it during D&D, kids folding clothes, me fixing dinner, mom wanting her egg basket back, and so on.
I like how Mo and his friend have less personal bubble than most Americans do. I've heard most non-Americans (I know how broad this is) don't have the same boundaries Americans have.
Mira says, "I've been promoted at the Company. Head of all genetic research. Can you imagine?" I liked the fanon that said she was a member of the REAL Company, India branch, keeping tabs on the Sureshes.
Ted is like ... the Burning Man. They keep repeating that 1800 curies datum. Does that mean something special? It's never 1700 or 2000.
"Brains removed" Yeah. Brains removed.
I notice Hiro understands enough English to have a conversation with Charlie now.
Matt's badge is red almost immediately. Those gashes aren't the same width or depth. But whatever.
Mohinder's dressing down of his father is so outside of my experience. I would never speak critically to my parents or grandparents. I can't conceive of uttering a diatribe like that, or being seized by such hubris as to think I knew so much better than them. I find it remarkable that Chandra allows it. Although I note it links in nicely to my fanon idea that Chandra got severely mind-wiped in the mid-80s and recovered slowly. If that happened, then Mohinder might have grown up with the norm being that his father was mentally disabled. That sort of thing breeds a reversal of roles.
"Haiti". How the hell did he know what country the guy was from just by looking at him? And why not mention his race? Oh well. It's amusing to see the dodging of the race issue.
I love how Matt and Ted bond over this and entirely leave out Audrey. And now Matt's badge has turned green again. I wonder if that's intentional?
