And Nikki's alter ego was setting up D.L.
At first I thought the guys were killing each other over the card switch Hiro did, good one this week.

If you listen carefully, you can hear someone say "Hey, who invited her?" while Hiro and Ando are hiding.

Me either, Snarf has much better hearing than I do!
I thought it was Uber Cool when Nikki's husband finally revealed his power!!

Another good episode. In all honesty, Hiro is the best character hands down, and not just because of his comic book geekiness. He's on the most pronounced "Hero's Journey" out of everyone right now. Nikki's story is getting better, but I wonder if it's truly over. If it is, that's some courage on the part of the writers/producers to pull that. Kudos to them.

Yeah, at show's end I, too, was wondering :
Is Nikki REALLY dead...... or is she comic book dead?
Hiro is very interesting! He has a long road to discovering how to use his power to it's full potential. It'll be fun watching his develpoment as both a person and a hero.

I think some props have to be given to Hiro's "sidekick", Ando. At first, he seemed very one-dimensional, but they've done quite a bit to flesh out the character, and the pep speech he gave to Hiro after the massacre really show the character's growth.

True, but I still don't really like him. He's in Hiro's way. He'll be killed off soon.

.... Which could be the catalyst in making Hiro into a hero.

Yeah, if the guy has to die, I would want it to be a meaningful death, where he saves Hiro's life or something to that effect.

If you listen carefully, you can hear someone say "Hey, who invited her?" while Hiro and Ando are hiding.
This ties in a bit with Ando showing up at Niki's house last week and her feeling bad that she couldn't help him out. It seems Niki's alter ego protects her AND repays debts.

Um.... actually, Jim, it was about the fact that people there could identify her as the woman who betrayed her husband. It wasn't about protecting Ando. It was about getting rid of evidence and witnesses.
And, personally, I'm liking Ando more and more each episode. He's the guy who kinda ground Hiro, but who seems to also be getting inspired by him. If you noticed when they were escaping the game, Ando pushed Hiro out the window first instead of just thinking of himself. I think that Hiro and Ando have started the "Hero's Journey" together.

OK. I have to admit it got a little confusing there (while I was switching back and forth to the football game)

Yep. Maybe the two will end up as lovers.

I heard this show has gotten a lot better since the first episode. I might play catch up this weekend before it's too late to do so.

I think it has. While it still hasn't answered its two main mysteries, we are getting fairly good character development (especially the D.L.-Niki relationship in this past week's ep, "Better Halves"). The relationship between Ando and Hiro is also getting better and better.

They did a bit of foreshadowing in the first episode; his mom had made mention of something he did with the computer. He's also sharp as a tack; he knew exactly which of Nikki's personalities was in charge.

I missed the episode where the kid did that with the computer.
I was rather certain that Nikki wasn't dead. She's too integral a character to the story to die.

He's probably gay. There was a joke early in the series--one of the other cheerleaders asked him if it was true he popped a boner in the boys' shower. And he didn't deny it.
The show needs a gay character.

So what power would you want this gay character to have?
I've been thinking along the lines of X ray vision... or perhaps the ability to manipulate various forms of energy.
