On having finished Heroes season 1

OK, so there's this passage in the Kalevala where Lemminkäinen gets himself killed, dismembered, and thrown in a river. His mother takes a big copper rake and dredges the river again and again, pulling out Lemminkäinen's body bit by bit. Then she puts him back together again. There's this amazing list of all the parts she pulls out:

You KNOW that I think this is nothing but fucked-uppedly AWESOME.

Alternately, Nathan could also have to track down Claire to bring her to the pile of bits when it doesn't knit together on its own. And she's all freaked out and wants to leave and put this behind her and Nathan's all, "You have to touch him for me."

Okay, now I'm imagining Nathan making Clare like, hump a pile of dead Peter bits. And it is wrong how amusing I find that idea XD

[svilleficrecs]

Humping would definitely be sick/amusing, but I'm picturing him making her stroke his bones

My! Kalevala looks WEIRD when translated to English :D

She joined muscles to muscles, fitted bones to bones,
members to members, veins to breaks in veins.
