Trivia
When Niki Sanders goes into the attic to find the briefcase full of money, the banknotes clearly state "FOR MOTION PICTURE USE ONLY". Also, the banknotes all have the same serial number "G3 00005967 T".

Goofs
The bottom right-hand edge of the now-finished painting of "the cheerleader" laying in blood, changes throughout the early scene with Isaac and Peter on the phone with Hiro. First the edge is clean and white, then with red paint dripping off, then clean again. (This even goes back to the end of the previous episode, when Peter has just finished painting, with lots of red paint running off the edge.)

Quotes
Ando Masahashi: [in Japanese] What happens if we get to New York and it explodes?
Hiro Nakamura: [in Japanese] If we get to New York, it won't explode. That's the idea, it's the heroic journey.
Ando Masahashi: [in Japanese] It's your heroic journey.
Hiro Nakamura: [in Japanese] It's our heroic journey. You don't have to have superpowers to be a hero.

The plot thickens

I have recently started with this series. The Japanese actor Masi Oka is fabulous. I am watching the show for him. He is the funniest character in the show and he acts well. Even in the scenes when he has to do some serious acting he stands out. I am enjoying this fast moving story. It is indeed a thrill ride.
