HEROES coming to BBC2

Agh, please no spoilers!

Sorry!
It really isn't one, I promise.  And it comes up very early on.
'nuff said. 

ARGH!!!!

I'd have thought that YOU of all people, especially THIS WEEK, would know not to leave spoilers around!!!!!

 


Right...off to WIKI Harry and dish some dirt for Elizabeth.....

Uh, your honour,

Firstly... it is NOT a spoiler,
and
Secondly, considering how long it's been out, if you happen to hear something, well... there's a time limit on spoilers! 

The BOOK, on the other hand, has been out a number of DAYS.
So there.

I rest.

So my mentioning Hermione's sex-change operation would be a bad idea, huh?

Now, spoilers for Book 8 are just beyond reprieve.

Firstly... it is NOT a spoiler

Hmmmm...maybe!

Secondly, considering how long it's been out, if you happen to hear something, well... there's a time limit on spoilers! 

It has?  I hadn't even heard of it until two weeks ago!!!

 

Well...I'll let you off this time then!

It's okay, I know you didn't mean to reveal anything.  What you said wasn't really spoiler-y, I just wanted to make a general request to keep this thread spoiler-free for those of us just now catching the show on BBC2.

Very smart!

Thank you 

Am really loving this show. I think Hiro and his sidekick are adorable.

Hiro & Nando are my favorite as well, I favor Hiro more though.   

I'm really curious to see how he changes from nerdy Japanese to macho-samurai that speaks non-accented, perfect English!

When Hiro got all excited to see waffles on the menu, I just fell in love! I thought the nod to Rainman very sweet as well.

I see on the IMDB that Ando is actually South Korean. Knowing nothing about Asian languages, I wonder if it's hard to learn to speak fluent Japanese if you are Korean?  Or are they close in dialects?

I know a little Korean and Japanese and I wouldn't say they are very similar.  One of the easiest things about learning Japanese (...the only easy thing) is that pronounciation is pretty easy.  If you had to speak it for a television part it would probably just be a matter of learning the words and not worrying too much about accents etc.

My Japanese knowledge comes from anime & that's it, BUT...it sounds right to me.  I may not know the language, but watch enough of it & you pick up intonations and pronunciations characteristic of it.  I'll catch the odd word here & there, and it does sound very authentic to the admittedly untrained ear.

Perhaps he's fluent in both through a parent or something?
