I checked episode 8, but no:
The waitress doesn’t seem to recognize Hiro at all when he comes to the diner. That would be acceptable if you assumed that time travel creates parallel lines, and the picture of Hiro and Charlie would have “appeared” on the wall right when he teleported into the past — but then who would have given her a Japanese phrasebook for her birthday?
It’s kind of weird that they wouldn’t address the issue at all; it’s not like the whole trip to her birthday wasn’t planned from the start, and overall the writers seem to have a pretty tight story for the whole arc. Whatever the justification — I’m finding out in the forums that we might be in an alternate reality now where Charlie died of an aneurysm — nothing can satisfyingly that she initially didn’t recognize Hiro, yet had been given a Japanese phrasebook.
Here’s hoping it’s just a bug, and not a sign of crappiness to come. The world desperately needs a paranormal show that bothers to make sense from beginning to end.
