Thanks to a little help from Frying Mon, Hiro has the sword. And lo and behold, Ando knew his time-bending buddy well enough to know that he'd cause an alarm to trip sooner or later! We're all very glad you stayed in the States, Ando.
Now, I think we can all agree that Hiro doesn't really need the sword to use his powers, since he didn't have it when he reversed The Abominable Showgirl's bullet. Plus, having the sword certainly didn't fine-tune Hiro's teleportation any, since they're now five years into the future and New York has seen better days.
So the obvious questions posed are...
- How do they get back to present-day NYC? Will it take as long as it did for Hiro to figure out that he couldn't save Charlie?
- Did they really fail, or is this just one more alternate reality? After all, Hiro believes he failed in Saving the Cheerleader, even though Claire is alive. Maybe we just don't have the whole story, yet again.
- In all the time-hopping that's sure to ensue with Hiro trying to get back to today, how long until we really see the T-Rex? You know you want to see it. C'mon, admit it. See? Don't you feel better now?
