Does anyone else think that perhaps Hiro *has* already altered time, and that him tripping and falling and causing Ando to look under the table and get scared by the gun *was* a product of his future self changing things?

More tomorrow, because I really need to be in bed, but the above-quoted bit caught my eye. Ando and Hiro had that very deliberate conversation about a "do-over" and there are two ways (at a minimum) to look at that conversation:

1. It's foreshadowing of something to come. There is a moment coming up where Hiro will have a chance to stop and reverse time to undo something that shouldn't have happened/has an awful outcome. Best guess as to what that is? Claire's death. Since Hiro (and Ando) now know of the prophecy (for lack of a better word).

2. It's a nod to what's already happened. In other words, the current timeline we're in is the do-over. Future!Hiro must come from the world without Claire; he came back in time to deliver that message because he already knows what happens if she doesn't survive. Now is the second chance.

Back with more tomorrow (well, technically later today).
