Hmmm. Okay, the accent isn't my biggest problem, but the white man coming in to be the hero in Japan? If he actually is the real hero of legends (as opposed to Hiro or someone else just taking his place), that's pretty seriously disturbing. Not just a little disturbing, but a LOT disturbing. However, I'm holding on to the hope of there being some kind of twist to the whole thing. Which STILL doesn't explain why there's a freaking UNMASKED GAIJIN wandering about and nobody seems to CARE, or where the hell that huge lake went, but at least it'll just be stupid, instead of being incredibly appalling.)

I dunno. It's - I guess they need someone to be the emo teen now that Peter's off being an amnesiac. (Okay, so he wasn't exactly a "teen" last season, but he did enough emo-ing that he counts as an honorary teenager in my eyes!) But why pick Claire? I liked Claire, but now she's being stupid, and it annoys me. Ah, well. Hopefully there will be more plot and less high school soap opera soon! (Mr. Bennet's new job, though - HEEEEEEEE! That was beautiful, so I totally forgive him - which is good, since it makes it easier for me to forgive Claire, too.)
