hehe, 3 posts in a row.

Fox, further regarding changes in character. I read a story in a pro magazine recently that on the 2nd page had the narrator react to a racial slur with shock something along the lines of "he hadn't thought anyone used that word anymore". Then the narrator goes on to use that same word 3 times within the next page, without a hint of hesitation. I was annoyed enough at this inconsistency of the narrator's character that I skipped the remaining 20+ pages.

This is starting to turn into a "everybody knows that green dragons can't breath frost" kinda argument.

I mean, the show Heroes is expecting us to believe a little more than universal eclipses -- No?
