With NBC’s monster hit Heroes making its highly-anticipated return tonight, Entertainment Weekly naturally has a few pages devoted to the show, including this look at the new cast members — Monica Dawson (Dana Davis), Elle (Kirsten Bell), Takezo Kensei (David Anders), Maya Herrera (Dania Ramirez) and Alejandro Herrera (Shalim Ortiz).

so……..what was the explanation as to why Kensei is a white (Brit) man?

KK: Somehow I thought she’d elicit a response like that heheh
Tally: I thought he said something like, he was on a boat which went to Japan, and he just sort of stuck around?

But that still doesn’t explain as to why he has to be a white man who isn’t even much of anything either…let alone be the hero that Hiro looks up to…I really hope that Hiro becomes the real Kensei (T_T)
I’m still with Hiro when he gave when he noticed Kensei was white…(O_o)???

I’m sure Kerry Washington had the Homer drool when she was slobbering Dania down in Spike Lee’s movie
She Hate Me in 2004.

So far Maya makes me wanna slap her…and Kensei with “regeneration” powers that he never knew about UNTIL he’s that old? C’mon now…
13 | Kayode Kendall
Nathan never flew until he was well into adulthood, so I don’t think there’s an absolute set time in discovering a power. Given Kensei’s aristicratic background, he probably never got into a position to be seriously injured. Any minor cuts and bruises he may have gotten over time, he probably wrote them off. OR, the eclipse has something to do with it. It clearly has some significant.

I dunno I just thought that since he may have at least cut himself say “shaving” he would notice it the way like Claire did no? But yeah I do think it has to do with the eclipse…
And that scene with Claire + pinky toe = nasty @_@

“And that scene with Claire + pinky toe = nasty ”
But that’s what you gotta love about Claire!! Claire’s willing to push herself and see just how far her power goes! She’s like Sil from Species!!

But his tattoo morphed into the “Godsend” sign then disappeared. The Irish got nuttin’ on him! (…except the girl’s lips…and then some?)
