"To
everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose.
The earth spins at a thousand miles an hour as we desperately
try to keep from being thrown off, like the first blush
of winter that signals the great migration. Is there any
warning for their arrival? A sign? A single event that
set this chain into motion? Was it a whisper in God’s
ear? Survive. Adapt. Escape. And if we could mark that
single moment in time – that first hint of the prophecy
of approaching danger. If we had done anything differently,
could it have been stopped? Or was the die long ago cast?
And if we could go back; alter its course; stop it from
happening, would we?"

Mohinder
Suresh's Closing Narration:
"This list, these people, their future is written
on their DNA just as the past, it seems, is written in
stone. Was the die cast from the very beginning, or is
it in our own hands to alter the course of destiny? Of
all our abilities, it is free will that truly makes us
unique. With it we have a tiny but potent chance to deny
fate and only with it can we find our way back to being
human."
