Old thread's kinda lengthy, so here's a new one.
Okay, so I was wrong about the whole Sylar-redemption thingy. Maybe. Who knows? He's obviously taken a liking to Maya, though whether or not that will keep him from killing her remains to be seen.
Was anyone else going "Claire is amazingly stupid" this week? Anyone could have seen her and West pull that stunt. And I am further convinced that West is bad news (or he's just an ignorant kid. Makes me glad I'm not a teenager anymore).
Mohinder's not a stupid man, but apparently a very naive one. Did he really not expect something like this to happen? And apparently the Company has succeeded in suppressing Nikki. Or even worse, they've integrated the two personalities, which could have all kinds of consequences.
I still contend that Peter has an alternate personality. This stuff in Montreal seems a little sketchy to me, and it reminds me of how Nikki and Jessica first started out. He may not necessarily develop the ability in the same way that they did, but it will crop up eventually.
I loved that bit about the space-time continuum. Made geeks everywhere proud. On the other hand, Hiro has really screwed up. But then, it wasn't likely that Kensei would stay on the straight and narrow, either. People don't tend to change that quickly. One theory I've had though might be that Hiro ends up being the Kensei they talk about in the stories.
I hope they switch back to Matt and Nathan next week. I think Matt might be able to cure Molly, since he was able to pull himself and Nathan out of nightmare land. Now he just has to get to her...

I guess we found out what Sylar's intentions were with Maya and her brother. Sylar plans on killing them, both.
With all Claire's been through, I find it remarkable that she's being such a blonde cheerleader. Seriously, she almost died once ( when Peter saved her ) and then again when her house almost got nuked. I'd have thought she'd have grown up some, but I think she's getting more ditzy. And is she gaining a new power ? I caught a hint of her being able to tell where her dad was, while they were talking on the phone. It was like some sort of ESP, just starting to reveal itself in her.
What's up w/ the sudden change of heart from the company man ? That seems odd that he'd turn on a dime and suddenly start helping Mohinder.

It now seems more likely that the Haitian could be responsible for Peter’s memory loss.

I don't think it's some type of ESP, necessarily. It's just that she's been lied to so many times by Noah that she's starting to pick up on when he's not telling the truth. Dishonesty seems to be a family value among the Bennetts.

Not a change of heart, methinks, just a subtle misdirection. Lull Mohinder into a false sense of security, and then screw him over when the time is right.
Wow, am I cynical or what?

While I'm not a Republican, I have to admit, I love that quote.

I actually think Claire is acting more like a teenager now than ever before. Hard to say anything is "realistic" in a show about superheroes, but using the power for teenage prank seems about right. I'm not really surprised, it is just a lil "like father, like daughter". Kinda seemes that the writers were going for that parallel in this ep.
I proposed that Sylar would only kill the brother. Maybe I am wrong. It just seems with how the show is trying to hit every single demographic there is, they would keep a latino role.
Still not sure if the the Nikki/Jessica theory is right. But it surely seems to be Jessica (J.'s the bad one right?)
Last season we got a probable future ep. This season we have a re-write the past ep coming up next. I usually hate these timeline things. They have done well so far with the timelines. We'll see.
Anyone else think of Linderman at first when they kept saying Whitebeard over and over in the Hiro scenes?

Quote:Bob’s not helping Mohinder. Mohinder made a stand that made it obvious that his principles won’t be so easily compromised. I think Bob was just surprised by this. In a way he was completely honest. He underestimated Mohinder and reacted too soon. To keep from exposing his hand before he was ready, he had to play damage control with Mohinder.

Oh yeah....
Anyone have any paintings theories? Gonna go back tonight and re-watch that part. The only ones I remember are a nose-bandaged, gun-pointing dude who looked similar to Peter. (which is doubtful due to his healing ability) Flying boy maybe? ...AND a girl lying dead on what I think are steps... electric girl?

With the revelation that The Company is experimenting with a virus that can suppress abilities I finally understand why they kept Sylar alive. He may be the ideal test subject as "someone who doesn't deserve their abilities". Also, they probably wouldn't mind if he were to die. This could explain why he has been unable to use any of the stolen powers as well as his original ability. It is odd that we keep hearing the clicking in his head, it's like his brain is trying to find a way around whatever was done to him. Only time will tell.
As far as Maya goes I think he is satisfied to watch her progression with her ability. He seems to delight in the idea of corrupting her. There is no real connection on his part what with him considering her "a shiny new toy". If his ability comes back it will give him all manner of pleasure to dismantle her.
Well Hiro certainly has gotten himself in a peck of trouble. As a bonafide sci-fi nerd he should know better than to mess with history. Can't wait to see how he is going to clean up that mess.
Noah is back to his unlovable self. Maybe that guy had it coming but threatening to take his cherished memories and then gunning him down was just cold blooded. Did anyone else get the feeling that he sealed his own fate with that act?
The painting of the girl on the stairs was Claire.
Peter's jaunt to the future paints an even more bleak picture than Hiro's jump last season. The preview made it seem as though there was a viral outbreak resulting in 93% of the world's population dying. I'm guessing Maya's ability plus The Company's experimentation creates an unstoppable strain as Mohinder feared.
