So Ando might die after all.

 

[Omega214]

nah, maybe he'll stay in vegas without hiro after he gets injured

Speaking of continuity, the user phoenixflight has been posting these from the beginning and would like to keep it that way, just imo.

Ted looks like one of the cavemen from the Geico commericals.

Finally we get to see Hana in this episode.

Ted looks like one of the cavemen from the Geico commericals.

I was reading an interview with him where he categorically denies being the Geico caveman. Apparently people on the street think he's the caveman, too I can't find the link, though.

I don't think Ando will die (at least I hope not!), but especially after seeing the Global preview, I think it's safe to assume he gets shot. I can see him ending up in the hospital and giving Hiro some final advice before Hiro goes off on his mission to get the sword from Linderman. I'd hope he gives Hiro some advice about not being so naive and innocent.

BWaAHAHAHAAA, that is awesome!

Missi Pyle rocks. She'll still be cute when she's, like, 60. Teri Hatcher who?

That said, I think it's much more likely that Missi Pyle's character will be ended rather than Ando. Whatever happens he seems like he survives it.

As for Hana, I'm not all that impressed with her as a character, despite that she is relatively cool... what I DO like is that she, Ted and Matt are going to team up, giving us our first official "Team-Up" not counting odd moments when everyone happens to stop by Isaac's loft to accidentally exchange information.

Lucky Ando...Poor Ando...

Doesn't Hane work for HRG? Seems like Isaac really pisses off Peter by calling HRG. Hope Peter beats some sense into HRG.

as long as the information is made available WHO CARES? Such a whiney little...

Isn't it supposed to be someone who's been with the show since the beginning? Or did that refer to Sylar's "death" a few episodes ago by which he tricked Mr. Bennett?

 

[GL1]

I'm not talking about the death of a regular... I simply don't anticipate that happening in episode 16...

I have a funny feeling I'm not going to really enjoy this episode...

 

[Eddie Brock]

I'm not talking about the death of a regular... I simply don't anticipate that happening in episode 16...

then why would they hype it up?
and why would the death of a recurring character or guest star be "unexpected"?

the math doesn't add up

If they kill off Issac, I know I won't...

Oh, I thought they were promoting it for 17th Episode... even if they were promoting it for 16th, there's still a chance it may get moved back...

But I've been wrong before.

 

[Felix Fangor]

I think Ando will live...[BLACKOUT]I saw pictures of him wearing a mitella in the promo's[/BLACKOUT]

 

[Sebastos]

Yes, can't wait for tonights ep. I really can't wait to see who dies!
