i totally thought he could talk to animals..
"thank you, turtle."

This deserved its own thread, it was that amazing. They set it up so well. Everyone was like..."Oh..man..he can speak to animals!"


Too classic XD

I was loling my arse off.

Almost as good as his quote from last season "Hey! There's a baby in here!"

haha yeah i seriously thought he was talking to the turtle. definitely one of the funniest moments on heroes next to Sylar's respone to eating brains.

but of course, hiro constantly cracks me up.

I thought maybe he found some magic mushrooms out there........

It looks like Greg Grunberg's humorous personality is really bleeding into his character.

And I'm not complaining.

This seen was awesome! So funny! It almost leads you to think Matt was somehow communicating with a turtle. It's like Woah!

Then you see that he's mistaken. It's this brand new character, Usutu. Nice intro to a character. This is the guy you thought might have been a turtle. Pretty memorable.

I love this show. It turns out that sometimes, a turtle really is just a turtle.

that was soooo funny. Comic relief at it's best. Matt can hear animals' thoughts...LOL.

I loved this scene. I knew right off that he wasn't talking to the turtle. I loved how they introduced the new character as well. He seems pretty cool. Did any of you guys catch his real name? I think it was that one that was four words long and something I can't pronounce.

it is Usutu and I love his response. "Why are you thanking a turtle?" One of the best scenes ever so far.

Parkman's ever expanding power - Mind Reading, Commanding People to do Things - and - Dr. Dolittle -ing!!!

I know that. I meant his actor's name.

I think they were poking fun at us Heroes geeks saying we tend to analyze things a little too deeply

I had my suspicions when he talked to the turtle. But I loved the scene, very well thought out.
It was also cool Parkman saw that painting on the rock, didn't think they would introduce Usutu this way.

That was one of the funniest parts of the episode IMHO.

I actually have a funny story about this:

When Mohinder injected himself with the power thing, earlier in the episode, my dad and I had joked that his power could be anything, and it was probably stupid (and it was). So we go, "Yeah, he could have a stupid power like the abilty to turn into a turtle!"

Then later, Matt looks up, and "IT'S MOHINDER!"

So, that turtle will forever be Mohinder the turtle.

That's two reptiles named Mohinder, now.

That scene was the best ever. Although, I will admit, I thought Matt was reading the turtle's mind at first and I was like " "

lol that scene was hilarious

"Oh god, I'm going insane!"

Nothing more classic then when a character realizes they're going coocoo.

I loved it when Usutu appeared and said "Why are you thanking the turtle?" or something along those lines. xD

I gotta admit that Usutu is growing on me and we've only seen him in one scene so far.

Are you ready?

The actor's full name is the seemingly unpronouncable Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine.

O_O


That poor man. I hope they don't send him to any talk shows.

My favorite thing about Usutu is his ability to place products. "I should have gone with sprint" while wearing a Universal Studios shirt. I wonder if "spirit walking" envolves a Nissan product.

My reaction to this scene was first going "it's not the turtle, it's someone behind him" then with the second of Usutu's lines I just thought "wait, is it really the turtle? you can't be serious. If it is this show really has jumped shark." and then I just burst out laughing with the "Why are you talking to a turtle?" line.

and honestly, how do you not know that spirit walking is walking to the nearest nisan dealer and finding out exactly which care is specifically for you?

Me at the turtle scene: You got to be kidding me... talking turtles!? WTF!

lol. I was so confounded. But it was a good scene. I love Usutu already. He really made an impression. Way to make an entrance.

I just thought it was a magic turtle.

Well, F. Peter has been swapping souls around as of late..

With the second of the turtle's lines, I assumed Matt's ability had expanded to being able to hear what animal's were thinking. It seemed a little ridiculous, but I figured it could work.

And then came the "why are you talking to a turtle" line. I cracked up.

I was thinking the same thing Synch. I think we all were. The chat exploded with laughter after that.

So did I. After doing this pic months ago, I automatically assumed it was a talking turtle. And just to really show how dumb I was, I didn't realise it was Usutu the whole time when I first watched it. I really kept thinking it was the turtle.

But then, I'm willing to bet the turtle is just one of the many fearsome and omnipotent incarnations of Ned.

It's not even a turtle. It's a tortoise.

Yeah that scene was great. Though why would Usutu tell him about the plant if he had that jug of water on him?

Maturtle!

That absolutely is one of my most favorite Simpsons' episodes ever G7! I never would have made that connection if I hadn't seen that picture! XD XD XD

My thoughts were: "I didn't see his lips move...oh.. "

I thought that about the water bottle too! Maybe just a "for future reference" type thing.

What was the tortoise doing in the desert, so far from water?

He wasn't very far from water. There was some in the plant right next to him.

I don't think any of them were really there.
"You must go on a dream walk of many miles."

They were already in that dream walk.

I thought he said "medicine" walk or "spirit" walk?

Yes! Thank you! Now I just want to hear someone pronounce it.

You're right.

Hopper: N-tah-re Goo-ma M-ba-ho M-wee-ne, unless I'm mistaken.

Tortoises live in arid climes. Turtles live in water.

Hilarious! I thought it was Matt halucinating from dehydration.

Maybe Suresh is turning into a turtle and then he too can talk to Matt.

Usutu said Matt had to "Spirit Walk for many miles".
