I didn't catch enough of the beginning episodes to make me want to start the show halfway through the first season... so now I need to buy the first season and watch that... and try and start catching it regular like... anyone know where I can DL or buy episodes?

As others have mentioned you can buy season 1 on DVD - but you can also watch full episodes of the new season on nbc.com. Great for catching up - that's how I caught the first Bionic Woman that I'd somehow forgotten to set the DVR for.

NBC is really impressing me - both with the shows they're creating and with the ways they're letting you watch them.

What about the guy who died that Peter was caring for when the show started? There were certainly some hints that he might have had powers, and I'm fairly sure he knew Mrs Petrelli.

Another possible member of the group - about the right age - would be Christopher Eccleston's character, the invisible man. He was a Company man, but it's unclear whether the Company and the Thirteen are completely separate. I seem to remember that Mr Nakamura was giving orders to Noah in one flashback.

Another would be the Haitian of course.

I assumed that the black-robed man who offed Mr Nakamura was the worse-than-the-boogeyman in Molly's dreams. If so, that's one more member of the Thirteen - if not, perhaps two...

I don't think Claude's character was a member of the so-called "Legion Of Doom". He might of been working for them, like Noah, but not apart of the inner circle, so to speak.

It's possible that Noah's boss was one of the 13. I doubt the Haitian was though; he's too young, and the Company already existed when he was found.

And yeah, Peter's patient was one of them (that's why they keep meeting on that particular rooftop).

Lovin' 2.2:

Peter's pecs.
The Battle of Twelve Swords.
Claire's pinkie toe.
Yeah!

I'll agree with Peter's pecs, Griz.

My biggest question this week would be the Haitian. Who's side is he on, exactly? I mean, sure he helped hide Claire, but you also saw him working for Mama Petrelli. Then again, he also ran when Mohinder came representing the company, and is going back to help Noah. But...Peter's memory being wiped didn't just happen out of the blue (well, maybe it did, but work with me here ). Always mysterious, that one.

And now Claire's secret is out as the boy crushing on her was spying through the window and saw her cut off her pinky toe and watch it grow back. Obvious love interest building there. Could they not come up with a more original power for him other than he can fly? We already have that covered with Nathan.

So the Haitian was the one with the virus. Interesting. So it hasn't jumped to humans yet, but seems to affect only the meta humans. How is it spread I wonder. Good to see him back in the game. He definitely seems to be on Noah's side, especially since he got spooked at Mohinder's mention of the company, mindwiped him, and took off.

Peter sure kicked the crap out of those two thugs. Seems he is getting a better handle on his abilities. Where did he get the spark power? Neat trick using DL's power to phase through his ropes. Cool how he used Sylar's telekinetic power to tear the shotgun out of the goon's hand and toss it across the room. Peter is becoming quite the bad@$$.

How do you cut off your pinky toe with a pair of scissors? Seems like a difficult thing to do. I suppose I could test it, but I'm not that curious.

Peter is becoming quite the badass? When we left him in H1.23 he was god. So, as long as Peter has amnesia then he won’t remember that he’s god? Is that the story? Okay, I’ll play along. When he does finally remember who he is will he remember that he can do anything? And how many other powers will he have absorbed by then?

Did Mr. Bennett manipulate the Company? Or was it purely happenstance that Mohinder’s first task as Company medic was to cure the Haitian? It seems as if the whole thing with the Haitian may have been part of some larger plan, and if so, that means Bennett has some assets.

Maya has the ability to mimic a biological weapon. That has some promise, but does it mean she is the new tool of evil?

I was thinking that it’s cool that Heroes doesn’t try to insult people’s intelligence by making everyone speak the same language. In one episode of Heroes I heard English, Japanese, Spanish and I think French. I wasn’t paying close attention when Mohinder met the Haitian. I’m not sure what language he spoke but it had to have been French, because that’s the official language of Haiti. It might have been Creole, but why would Mohinder be fluent in Creole?

BrownCoat1, Peter got the spark power from Ted, the radioactive guy. In addition to giving off radioactive energy, he could also manipulate electromagnetic energy.

I'm more concerned about what powers Peter gained in the final battle last season. If he has D.L.'s power, then does he also have Nikki's? 'Cause if so, we're screwed six ways 'til Sunday. The world does not need a dissociative identity-disordered Peter running around.

Also of interest is the girl Maya. I thought it was a good touch to have her brother be the antidote to her ability. The question that remains though, is who will get to her first? Her and her brother in the hands of the Company does not equal a good thing.

It was French. Bad French, but French nonetheless (the kind of French that you'd expect to come from a British-educated Indian).

And I think the Haitian's involvement was improvised.

Note both the Haitian's reaction to Mohinder's revelation that he works for the Company, and Mohinder's reaction to the Haitian knowing about the company.

I think they exchanged notes, decided to bring the Haitian into Bennet's plan, set up the meeting, then Mohinder took a voluntary mindwipe for plausible deniability.
