Previously i have not been a fan of his really and wasnt really interested in his part of the story.

But this episode i actualy thought he had really started to grow on me as his charm starts to show through a little more than it had done in the past, especialy in his scene with Hiro which is a cute little scene which really brings out part of his personality.

Did this episode also change anyone elses view on Nathan for the better?

I think Nathan and Hiro - or Adrian Pasdar and Masi Oka for that matter - work well together on screen. The scene in the diner and the one from this episode are one of my favorite of the show.

I always thought that Nathan is charmingly rude. I like him. But I like everyone, no biggie.

Update:
While rewatching the episode I had this thread in mind and I kept thinking that Nathan is just "normal". I bet you have watched some shows in which you wonder, "How the hell can someone just believe that like it's the most normal in the world?", and Nathan is the opposite of this. I mean, he does believe (he has to), but he can't acknowledge that fact, especially since it got his wife in a wheelchair. It's denial for several reasons which makes this character one of the most interesting, the way I look at it, now.

It helps that Adrian Pasdar is perfect for this role. No offense, really. Just playing that very good.

I've liked Nathan since the beginning because HE CAN FLY! Wooo.

I think Nathan still needs to open up and accept what he is. He's easy on the eyes and everything but yeah he's not been high on my list ever since destroying the painting peter wanted and all that stuff. It remains to be seen when he will "come out" and finally agree with peter and accept his ability whole heartedly.

Nathan saw his brother dead on that painting. I think I would freak out, too. I think Nathan isn't hiding any longer since the latest episode. He won't go public just yet, I guess, but he will accept that they all have powers and do what he can to help.

Nathan has been my favorite since the beginning. He's got real issues he needs to work on which I think people should be able to relate to. He has the whole thing with his family, the guilt over his wife's injury, and he's had to make some hard choices to take care of his family. Besides that out of all the heroes he's the toughest as far as I'm concerned. When he was a prosecuter he was going to go toe to toe with Linderman and he threatened HRG saying if he finds him, he will kill him.

I think he's the most real person on the show. I think people that watch the show just don't give people a chance and judge too quickly.

Ive been thinking lately that if they all end up being part of a group that Nathan would appear to be the natural leader of them, as much as he hasnt come to terms about what he is seeing as much as the others but he seems to have the qualities which we see in leaders of a hero type of group.

Nathan is a politician, which means, for the most part, I wouldn't like him if he was real. On the other hand, I like his character for several reasons. Firstly, we can see that he is shaped by making TOUGH choices. A lot of them for other people. When he stated that he knew how he could help Peter not explode (or something to that effect in the scene you are referring) the first thing I thought he would do is pull Peter's plug. So... Nathan is cool, but not nice.

I have liked Nathan since the beginning, but as the first poster on this thread stated...I did notice a little warmth from him this last episode...especially when he kissed Peter in the hospital before going over to go see the artist...and loved him when he was with Hiro..Laughed out loud when Hiro saw Nathan and screamed..."The Flying Man"

I took a liking to the character of Nathan almost from the beginning of the series. He's a complex character not quite as enthusiastic about his powers as others might be (because of various issues he has). I've always thought he really cared for Peter and tried as best as he could to protect him (in his own way). But with this last episode his connection and love for his brother really showed through. Maybe more people who watch the show will start to warm up to his character a little better now.

Hiro: You will help too.
Nathan: What makes you say that?
Hiro: You flying man. WHOOSH!
Nathan: Would you keep it down?
Hiro: Woosh...

My favourite line that involes the two guys!

I like all the characters and yes Nathan is inculded as well, he maybe an a** but he has all his reasons (as you guys have nicely said). Nathan also meshes well with Hiro which I find funny (the part with the villan was so funny too). What most Nathan hates don't realize is that the guy has the the thoughest since the beginning, yeah Peter will blow up New York if they don't stop him but his older brother has it tougher, he has more responibilites, more problems and has a lot of guilt for things he has done. He was the one who got his wife in the wheel chair, can maye that's why he doesn't want to use his powers in the first place. But what I like about him is how he's going to be the last one coming to grips with his ability to fly, and probably it will take something major to make him do so.

Just remember, he may be an a** but he has his reasons to be

I think Nathan is the most realistic in terms of believing in his powers (well, him and Claire). I can understand that they don't want to be different. It's no different from having a disability that you don't want people to find out about. It's hard being different. He and Hiro are on opposite ends of the spectrum and that's why, i think, they're fun to watch (besides the fact that the actors work well together).

I didn't really like Nathan at the beginning of the show, but I didn't want to not like him. It's hard for me to explain it... I guess he's really the one I connected with first because I'm an older sister, but that was kind of shattered early on in the series when I saw how he treated Peter, especially when he told everyone that his younger brother had tried to commit suicide. Gah. In fact, one of my journal entries right after I watched Fallout went sort of like this:


Haha... yeah... I was slightly upset that the real Nathan getting Peter out of jail was more of a jerk than the one that Peter dreamed, and that was a nightmare.

I really like how Nathan's been acting in these past two episodes, but I guess being worried about your younger brother will do that to you. He really cares about Peter, but he was just so focused on his campaign and his public image earlier in the season.

'Kay, I'm done for now.
