Memorable Quotes
"Man is a narcissistic species by nature. We have colonized the four corners of our tiny planet. But we are not the pinnacle of so-called evolution. That honor belongs to the lowly cockroach. Capable of living for months without food. Remaining alive headless for weeks at a time. Resistant to radiation. If God has indeed created himself in his own image, then I submit to you that God is a cockroach. They say that man uses only a tenth of his brain power. Another percent, and we might actually be worthy of God's image. Unless, of course, that day has already arrived. The human genome project has discovered that tiny variations in man's genetic code are taking place at increasingly rapid rates. Teleportation, levitation, tissue regeneration. Is this outside the realm of possibility? Or is man entering a new gateway to evolution? Is he finally standing at the threshold to true human potential?"

"It's the sort of cutting-edge science we used to talk about late into the night."
"The world's worst pillow talk, I'd say."
- - Mira, Mohinder (Seven Minutes to Midnight)
Trivia
- According to an interview with Jason La Padura, Mohinder was originally conceived as as man in his 50s, essentially as the role of Chandra. However, when Sendhil Ramamurthy read for the part, the producers rethought the role to accommodate the actor they wanted to use.
