I don't read other websites, for the record. I don't want to know everything, just want to share my opinions (in fact, even in this thread, I only responded to replied geared towards my replies). But I'm glad others figured it out as well.

No surprise that this episode is good cause there's no twins and the black girl.

Yea, i agree, the earth is a mess. Going green is the only way to save it. Go green to save Claire.

the only good part about that CF was how awesomely gay real life Sylar comes across as :p

Does Dr. Suresh try to fuck up everything he touches or what? I think he should think of what he wants to do, and then do the exact opposite.

This season bores me to death, I don't give a shit about half of these people whereas I was very involved with the characters from season one aside from nikki^2.

Matt's dad, the Nightmare Man who Molly's afraid of appears to be the red herring as this season's bad guy. That honor now likely rests with the unknown Adam Monroe. Is Kensei = Adam Monroe? I doubt it. Even if he were virtually immortal, he could still be captured and imprisoned and thus hardly a villian worthy of great fear.
DOH! Sorta got one right and got one wrong. Matt send his dad home for a nap.

Really didn't buy Kensei's turning bad guy last week but he does a good job of selling it this week. Unless he's developed some extra Hero powers in the last several hundred years, how hard can it be to stop or capture him? Of course there's the larger threat of the virus and Sylar trying to make a comeback.

Writers like to kill off Nathan in future scenarios. Is it everyone's guess that the Haitian wiped Peter's memory before he ended up in the container? Was Kristen Bell (Elle) working for the company or Kensei when she got pulled off the assignment to capture him?

Peter's mom and Bob both saying Peter and Claire, people with healing powers the key to saving lives. Hope the virus doesn't use that regenerative property for itself.

the more interesting question is how the f does adam/kensei know peter? must be that dark secret in the patrelli family
A/K may have tapped into the company records. Perhaps the Petrelli family was doing some serious Hero breeding. Mrs. P. did mention some sleeping around.

No surprise that this episode is good cause there's no twins and the black girl.
Hope Peter never runs into her.

As long as Peter also meets the brother he should be okay... well, once he learns to control it.

it almost looked like Peter's mom's ability was to restore their memory from what was erased?

I'm curious to know what Bob's power is.

Edit: Nevermind, they already showed it. He can apparently transmute metals.

I thought he was using Matt's absorbed mind reading ability either to jump start his surpressed memories or to at least identify his mother.

I think she has some kind of power...didn't she alude to that fact at one point? I'm frustrated that they killed off Hiro's dad without ever revealing his power. Now it will have to come by way of a flash back.

Yeah, she mentions something to Matt about "Stop trying to read my mind you fat fuck" or something or other at the police station.

damn these people annoyed me in the episode.
Suresh wtf are you spilling all the beans to the company for??? You're an idiot! They wanted a virus that could get past his antibody all along!
Claire you're a dumb cheerleader who's gonna get your father killed. listen to the man!
Hiro you're a dumbass too. shoulda cut off his head when you had a chance!
Nikki you used to be a badass but now you're just useless.

Wow. This season when from zzzzzzzzzzz to wow I can't wait for the next episode quickly in one episode. My guess is that Hiro brought Adam to the present right before the explosion so prevent Adam from destroying the past and figured he would deal with him later. Otherwise, no one would have been able to stop him in the past. It now makes sense how the guy who killed Hiro's father survived the fall. I understand why Adam wanted to destroy the company but I don't understand why Matt's father did. Is Matt's father and Nathan/Peter's mom related? They seem to somewhat have the same powers. I suppose Adam manipulated Matt's father to do his bidding and is somehow trying to do the same with Peter.

I sure hope the twins and the African-American girl either start doing something interesting or just not bring them back until the season finale. They sure were slowing down the season. Last but not least, I hope Noah does not get killed. I really don't like Claire or her boyfriend this season. Their relationship is actually more boring than the twins and the African American girl.

She has to have one. Why else would she have been included in the original group of superfriends?

I thought it was pretty obvious she knew he was reading her mind because he repeated the exact words she was thinking, and it's not like it was a standard question. Plus, she has encountered that power before and possibly knew that Parkman was the nightmare man's son.

She obviously has one, if not, the writers screwed up.

In yesterdays episode, she says this exactly, when speaking to Peter.

You're more powerful than us all.
If that doesn't answer it...

Meanwhile, Parkman! Your power used to be completely lame and boring, but now it appears it will turn into something totally kick ass!

I still can't understand why Hero doesn't go back in time to correct his mistake with the kiss? It just that he doesn't want to, or is he unable to truly change time?

Anytime there is a possibility of him crossing paths with himself or something like that he's worried about destroying the continuum.


Just started watching the last episode now, at least now we know what the villain will be. Damn, and DL just showed up.

Yeah, so far I don't think they've made a connection between powers and inheritance. Seems random more than anything. Otherwise they wasted a helluva lot of plotline last season establishing a blood relationship between Claire and the Petrellis.
