Just a quick thought as something of a longer-than-usual aside: In the beginning of Heroes, Mohinder Suresh did these contemplative voice-overs, both at the beginning and at the ending. They were beautiful and rich, even if I didn't necessarily agree with the some of the ideologies behind them. They set a certain kind of tone to each chapter of the story as it unfolded. Then I noticed that the voice-overs were only coming on one end of each chapter, usually at the beginning. And now, they're gone completely, and I miss them. They're a part of the Heroes atmosphere and environment that have been completely dropped - and for me, they're absence is painfully noticeable.

Apparently, Kring ran out of philosophical ideas for his chapter bookends. 'Tis a pity.
