Just to confirm, Hiro’s english speaking abilities, are we talking about Future Hiro from Episode 4, or Hiro’s sudden emergence of English speaking when left alone by his friend in the diner in episode 5?
The Future Hiro is of course explainable by the “How far into the future did he come from”.
However, whether Hiro can speak english before that is a bit confused. He phones the artist, and leaves messages in japanease, indicating that he can’t speak english (otherwise he’d just say something helpful in english). But in previous episodes, the comic book has english writing on it, and of course he seems to mysteriously generate the ability when his freind leaves in Ep 5, and he talks to whats-his-name the petrelli congressman.
I’d be interested to know if it’s an honest to god writers mistake, or whether it’s on purpose and will be revealed.
Re: Hiro speaking English.
From what I’ve heard, because English is the language of business and technology, some people learn English in Japan. (There are some schools in the U.S. that are starting to teach children Chinese. Lucky kids!)
Hiro, being a big sci-fi (especially Star Trek) geek, is probably more likely to have heard a lot of English.
His pal can speak a bit of English and now that they’re both smack dab in the middle of having-to-speak-English …it makes perfect sense to me that they’re only speaking Japanese to each other, and trying to speak English to those around them. (It made me sad that the waitress in the diner was learning Japanese and then…well…you know.)
When Hiro was on the phone with Peter, he was fresh off the time transport, so to speak.
In the diner with Petrelli, his English, if you remember, was not real good.
Anyway, it’s a TV show. People should just relax and go with it.
