Season 1 / Episode 3: - One Giant Leap

Ando Masahashi: I'm confused. You said you called me when you went in the future.
Hiro Nakamura: Yeah. So?
Ando Masahashi: So, shouldn't I be at home waiting for your call?
Hiro Nakamura: We're changing the future. By taking action, we've changed something.
Ando Masahashi: What if we make it worse? And if there's going to be a nuclear explosion, shouldn't we be flying away from the bomb?
Hiro Nakamura: A hero doesn't run away from his destiny. My only concern is whether I need to hide my true identity. Perhaps a costume?
Ando Masahashi: You even mention tights and a cape, I'm going home.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

PLOT: When Hiro first shows Ando the comic book from the future, he tries to prove the comic's authenticity by pointing out that the dialogue of Ando in the story matches what Ando says in real life. However, the comic book is written entirely in English. There is no explanation for how Hiro (who barely understands English) could know that Ando's words (spoken in Japanese) match those in the book.
CONT: When Isaac is going through his sketchbook he goes over the same page in different shots.
CONT: When Suresh finds the key in his father's book, the length of tape on the key varies between shots.
CONT: When Mohinder is in the secret space in Sylar's apartment, in the shot from behind where he is looking at the writing on the wall, he is suddenly wearing a brown jacket and his camera strap disappears.
