I have been catching up on
Heroes, which is the first TV show in some time I've bothered to watch. (I was getting into
Battlestar Galactica, but I flagged around the 9th episode. I'll probably go back to that when I'm done with
Heroes.)
Anyway. I watched the 6th episode of season 2 last night. In this episode, Peter receives a note signed by another character. "Oh," I thought, "I forget who that is." So I went to the trusty Internet to find out.
I now know a) that the character had not actually been introduced yet and b) approximately what role the character will play in the remainder of the current story arc.
