Episode Report Card Couch Baron: C | 920 USERS: B YOU GRADE IT There's…Another Part?

Soon after, Hiro and Ando are walking down the road, and Hiro explains that he learned that stuff about the corn and the quest at "Saturday Samurai Matinee Showdown." Glad that served you well. Ando laments that they've come to the end of the comic book, but lest you think the device was only a one-time cheap cop-out, Hiro says they can get the next issue at a "place where the wise men gather." He mentions as examples the Oracle at Delphi and the Library at Alexandria, but don't get your hopes up for it to be anything that another comic-book shop.
Fucking Mohinder makes a stupid entry about how all his abilities have disappeared, and offers that "further study is warranted." I'll take the con position. He says, however, that he's got something else to do, and pulls up Maya's picture on the computer OH MY GOD NO. I mean, at this point I'd trade him for her, but the two of them together is just grim death. Anyway, Mohinder's barely gotten his jacket on before Arthur and Flint enter, and Arthur tells Mohinder he's not going anywhere, as he has to get people's abilities back. Might I suggest WAITING UNTIL THE FUCKING ECLIPSE IS OVER AND SEEING IF THEY RETURN OF THEIR OWN ACCORD? Mohinder says the effects of the eclipse might be irreversible, which certainly seems possible, but Arthur deems that "unacceptable," prompting Flint to grab Mohinder and shove his face up against the glass and corn-pone that without abilities, he's nobody, and that will not work for him. Fine, Flint, but when everyone gets their abilities back, you may find yourself wrapped in more webbing that they used in the entirety of the Spider-Man series.
Hiro and Ando enter "Sam's Comics" (Supernatural, again, I suppose) and run into the proprietors of the place -- Seth Green (he's Sam) and Breckin Meyer. I will geek out as much as anyone over this stunt-cast, especially since they apparently asked to be on the show because they love it so much. Of course, these things are negotiated waaaaay in advance. Anyway, the tableau is depicted on the cover of the new issue, so it looks like they've come to the right place. Not that I wouldn't have stayed and hung out anyway, were I Hiro and Ando. In fact, if the whole purpose of the stupid comic was to get to this moment, I recant my earlier objections, because, as Breckin Meyer puts it: "Dude, this is so awesome!"
