I recommend a Sandra story called "Canons and Fugues", which is terrific.
Yes. Thank you.
And I look forward to the coming eps, especially Company Man but the seeds are there already, the rationalisations but underneath it all love. Love is a terrible thing.
Which made me assume even at this point that both Angela and the late Mr. Petrelli must have (had) powers because with not one but two sons having the gene, what are the odds?
If it were a single dominant gene then one parent at least would have to have mainifested powers and would then have either a 50 or 100% probablitiy of transmission. So two out of two would have odds of at least 1:3 Small family sizes one of the many problems human geneticists have to contend with.:-)
I do like the idea that both parents being superpowered guarantees (100%) superpowered children (ie that the gene is recessive) because it's then easier to expalain the sudden appearance of 36 new supers who seem unlikely to all share a single (founder) parent. The idea of such a profound qualitative change being due to a single mutation is still somewhat counterintuitive but I'm working on it :-)
