[first lines]
Mohinder Suresh: [voiceover] We are, if anything, creatures of habit - drawn to the safety and comfort of the familiar.
Zach: Do they actually believe that grain is a vegetable?
Mohinder Suresh: [voice over] But what happens when the familiar becomes unsafe, when the fear that we have been desperately trying to avoid, finds us where we live?

Best Hour of Sci-Fi/Suspense on TV Ever?

Quite possibly the most exciting piece of Sci-Fi/Action on television ever broadcast! All of the episodes leading up to this moment were perfectly executed to bring the viewer to this glorious hour. Characters and plot lines all converged into a moment of tension and suspense unlike any other I have seen in quite some time. Not only was the main storyline of save the cheerleader, save the world beautifully dealt with, the back stories or side stories were not forgotten and also intertwined magnificently. This show is slowly but surely becoming my favorite program on television, right behind the already superb and amazing Battlestar Galactica. More episodes like this (probably impossible because then they would all be the best ever) and this show will be in my television hall of fame.
