Quote

• To everything there's a season and a time to every purpose. The Earth spins at a thousand miles an hour as we desperately try to keep from being thrown off. Like the first blush of winter that signals a great migration, was there any warning of their arrival? A sign, a single event that set this chain into motion? Was it a whisper in God's ear? Survive, adapt, escape... And if we could mark that single moment in time? That first hint of the prophecy of approaching danger... Would we have done anything differently? Could it have been stopped or was the dielong ago cast? And if we could go back, alter its course, stop it from happening, would we?
  
• This list, these people, their future is written on their DNA just as the past, it seems, is written in stone. Was the die cast from the very beginning, or is it in our own hands to alter the course of destiny? Of all our abilities, it is free will that truly makes us unique. With it we have a tiny but potent chance to deny fate and only with it can we find our way back to being human.

 

Reflection

After watching this episode, we call tell that the movie trys to tell us what happened in the past. Everyone' s background before all these things happened, or even before they realized they have special ability. Now I am impressed by Mohinder's father, Dr. Suresh. His perseverance on his research that almost no one supports him. Everyone trys to convince him to give up. But at the end he proves himself and he really finds a system to finds those heroes.
