New graphic novel is up:

It goes into detail about how Claude and Bennett managed to find Claire when she was an infant. Also explains how the fire happened where everyone thought Claire's mom was killed.

Thanks babe!

*snif* That one got me weepy.

Mr. Grizwald watched the episode on iTunes because he missed the airing while traveling, and he said he cried at the end. It's a Daddy thing, definitely.

*corrected to parent thing since I cried too*

Some really great stuff in this episode. The reunion of Ando and Hiro was unexpected. Once again Ando steps up to prove Hiro's statement about not needing powers to be a hero. Having them teleport to future New York was interesting.

Speaking of New York everything appears to be coming to a head as most of the main players are showing up in town. The bit between Ms. Petrelli, Claire, and the Haitian was a complete surprise. I'm glad Simone wasn't brought back from the dead, not because I didn't like her but it would have been too convenient that she, Peter, and Isaac all had abilities. That female shapeshifter is pretty easy on the eyes, she needs more screentime in her natural form. Nice how she helped set Benett up, he still has a lot to pay for.

So Malcolm McDowell is Linderman. Not a bad casting choice. I thought I knew who it was from the previews but I was way off. A lot of people will probably will be upset with Nathan again, but really that deal was too good to pass up. At least he did one thing right finally knocking Niki on her ass. I'm not usually for a man striking a woman but in this case I'll make an exception.

Sylar vs. Peter round 2, it's about time. I was struck by how easily Sylar was able to keep Mohinder pinned to the ceiling while dealing with Peter. I knew his TK was strong but damn! Even though Peter has absorbed many abilities he doesn't appear to have the experience to deal with Sylar. If he does figure out how Peter's ability works he would be nigh unstoppable. I'm guessing Peter would heal if the top of his head were put back. Now we know where Peter got the scar. Glad to see Mohinder isn't the patsy a lot of people made him out to be. He went pretty hardcore there taunting Sylar while shoving a needle into his neck then pulling the trigger.

I get the feeling many of the characters are going to be dead by season's end. There was something on another website about next season being a completely different story with many new characters. If this is true I have to imagine that Peter and Sylar would not be returning because they are becomming too damn powerful. Even if Peter doensn't destroy New York I believe he will make a heroic sacrifice. As for Sylar I think his body will finally overload from all of the additions he has made either killing him or causing him become catatonic.

Another mini hiatus until April 23rd, could be worse but waiting still sucks.

Somehow, I thought Linderman was going to be Donald Sutherland. I knew it was a long shot, but it would have been cool.

Evidently, so did some other people:

“In the 2006-2007 TV series Heroes, Sutherland plays a role as the mysterious Mr. Linderman.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Sutherland

So Nathan is now officially in cahoots with Linderman. And Claire is now in with the Petrelli family. Parkman is now in with the Paper Cartel. Bennett is now in deep fecal matter. Hiro is in the ruins of New York. Suresh is stapled to the ceiling and Peter is loosing his head.

I love this show.

So yet again, my prediction was wrong....and that's why I love this show.

I do want to make one more prediction though...Linderman is actually Nathan's and Peter's daddy. Just my prediciton, will probably be wrong though.

All this latest episode lacked was Micha being sent to the office for cheating on his math test - no one had a good day....

I knew that Malcolm McDowall would be Linderman since I had heard it on the 10th Wonder Heroes podcast I normally listen to every week. But it was still a pleasant surprise to see him revealed not only as the villain, but also a villain who likes to cook as a hobby. For some reason, this character touch seems like something that the writers heard about in real life. Is there some famous billionaire who does this kind of thing in real life? I know Howard Hughes was always the first person to test out a new aircraft his company made. Don't know if Donald Trump likes to do stuff like that for himself. His ego is as big and inflated as a Macy's Tanksgiving Parade balloon.

But man, this fourth geek cameo just shows how much clout this show has for a first season show. Doctor Who, Sulu, Stan the Man and now Alex. Only way to top all that is to get Kurt Russell, Bill Shatner and Mark Hamill in the same scene in a Season 2 episode.

Yeah, the finale is going to be maybe the final showdown between Peter and Sylar. And if half the cast dies and in the next few seasons the cast becomes a revolving door of characters, I'm game. I'm pretty sure Claire won't die since she's indestructible. So long as Hiro and Ando are left standing, I'll be good.

Biggest loop thrown is the reveal that the "higher power" the Haitian answers to is Peter and Nathan's mom and that she's been some sort of fairy godmother for Claire.

And of course the best character interaction was with Hiro and "FLYING MAN!!!"

April 23rd can't come fast enough.

Finally have a chance to post (friggin' work schedule).

ANDO SAVES THE DAY!!!

That was awesome.

New comic: http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/novel_023.shtml
Looks like we haven't seen the last of Wireless.

And the Easter Egg leads me here: http://www.samantha48616e61.com/ Wireless' personal site. A whole plethora of. . . interesting data.

http://www.activatingevolution.org/ Suresh's personal website.

And, for those keeping score: the Power tally:

PETER:
Flight (from Nathan)
Invisibility (from Claude)
Precognition (from Isaac)
Telepathy (from Matt)
Regeneration (from Claire)
Time-distortion (from Hiro)
Telekinesis (from Sylar)

SYLAR:
Mechanopathy (he "sees how things work")
Telekinesis
Super-hearing
Perfect recall
Ice
Melting (molecular disruption)

I think we saw Peter's "scared sh*tless" moment this week. Next week, his survival instinct is gonna trigger his powers, and we'll be seeing a Sylar/Pete beatdown.

Pretty good episode.

Claire sure pulled a fast one on the Haitian. Too bad she didn't figure he would be waiting for her in NYC. I was surprised to see that the Haitian is working w/ Nathan & Peter's mom. I am surprised how much she knows. Wonder if Nathan knows how much she knows. Has he been confiding in her? I would suspect if she has been protecting Claire I would guess she has been protecting Peter & Nathan as well. Could it be that Peter's father's suicide had something to do with him having an ability he couldn't handle? Guess Claire has a home and family now.

We know Peter doesn't die as he is in the future w/ Hiro. I imagine the scar is from his encounter w/ Sylar at the end when Sylar begins opening him up, as someone else mentioned above. Not doubt Peter's healing ability will counteract the wound. Got to say Sylar is not prepared to take on Peter. Pete has more powers and any that he doesn't have that Sylar uses Pete will be able to pick up. I also get the feeling that Peter's power level will be higher, almost as if he can amplify the powers he takes on. If he cuts loose, he will school Sylar. We have seen how quickly he is mastering invisibility. What else has he been practicing with? Should be a heck of a showdown.

Nathan is in bed with Linderman. Why do I get the feeling that Nathan will wind up being the tragic hero? He is selling out to Linderman for a political seat and a shot at the White House. I was surprised by his working w/ the FBI to bring Linderman down. Too bad the FBI decided to try to sting Linderman in his own hotel. Like Jessica said that was sloppy. Now their dead and Nathan is on his own. I just knew he would not pull the trigger though. I get the feeling that he will wind up dying to save NYC as some form of redemption for his selling out to Linderman. Anyone else think so?

Wonder how Nikki was able to break Jessica's hold on her. Good timing however she did it. Of course if anyone saw her go into suite the FBI were in she might be one of the FBI's most wanted. I imagine though that Linderman has one heck of a clean up crew and will cover for Jessica since she took out the FBI for him.

Does DL suspect her? Did you see his expression as he walked away after Jessica kissed his forehead. That stern, resolute look makes me think he knows Jessica, not Nikki, is in control. Micca may suspect too as he seemed able to tell over the phone when he & DL were on the run before.

The new hero that betrayed Bennett by portraying his wife has one heck of a power. She can take on the appearance of anyone. Very cool power. Not only that, but did you notice how she seemed to cloak Simone's dead body on the bed? She also seems to have a sadistic streak. Definitely going to be bad guy.

Bennett. Very neat twist on how his wife pretended to be mindwiped when she wasn't. His using her as a contact to guide him after he had been wiped was genius. It seemed to be paying off until the Doppleganger (cool name for the girl with the ability to appear as anyone) turned him over to the company. Of course we see in the latest graphic novel that he has Hanna ("Wireless") on the way to help. Bennett can sure use it. Let's hope she frees Matt so they can all escape to NYC for the big hero/family reunion at the season finale.

Glad to see Hiro get the sword, though I was worried when he was discovered. Ando to the rescue! Great to see them reunited. I am really starting to like Ando's character and his loyalty to Hiro is touching. Their teleporting through time and space to wind up in post-bomb New York was interesting. No doubt they will teleport to current time NYC to join up with the others. Maybe they might investigate bombed NYC to try to find some clues first.

Really loving this show. HATING the seven week wait until the next episode.

Yep, Ando is my hero, because his only ability is his loyalty to his friend.

Question: Why would Peter have a scar? Claire doesn't scar, she heals completely. Maybe Peter wanted this particular mark to show for some reason.

Comment: New Assistant's ability does not seem to be shape-shifting, rather the power of illusion, hence her ability to make people see an empty tumbled bed rather than a corpsified woman in a tumbled bed.
