Public Service Announcement

Some of these pics are begging for captions, but it's a bit inhuman to caption 280 pics, even for the criminally obsessive. If you have suggestions, please leave them in the comments, along with a link to the relevant pictures, and I'd love to add the caption!

Mohinder/Bennet

Why They Slash: Because Bennet enjoys harassing Mohinder and spooking him out of his cab for no good reason. Because they can drag a Mexican standoff for a week. Because they make an excellent corpse-dragging team (and that should totally be an Olympic sport). And because they can compare traumatic hairstyles of the past.
Potential Problems: Failure to communicate. Bennet's mildly stalker-ish attitude. Cute little tracking systems.
Accessories: Ominous Matrix references. THE LIST. Thompson's body.
Quote: Bennet: "But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you? Probably lots of Sureshes where you're from. Like Smith. Or Anderson."
Slashy Episodes: Genesis, Godsend, How to Stop an Exploding Man
