Oh, she's a GREAT actress, and I hadn't forgotten her name or her
characters' names.

But if we're going to judge character intelligence by one
incident, marrying DL OR stealing from Linderman are both much
stupider things to do than forgetting you have an ability you've
had for less than 6 months.

I really dislike DL but I think that's at least in part the
terrible job the writers did.  Why, really, did the one black
male hero (except for the nameless Haitian who is arguably
as much a villain as he is a hero) have to be an ex-con who can't
manage to keep his family fed and sheltered legitimately?

But if I start to get into the subject of racial/cultural tropes
on Heroes I'll rant until morning and I have other things to do.
Suffice it to say:  black ex-con, Italians with mob ties, blonde
stripper, blonde cheerleader (who allegedly needs to be saved
even though she is the toughest one in the bunch), tortured
artist on drugs...

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

No, nobody here has racial, gender or class issues anywhere!

~malfoy, lol :)
