At the end of last season, I offered up the idea that just because the guy can look back (and maybe is trying to hide), it doesn’t make him a big, bad guy. It could just be a child’s misinterpretation because she is not used to people being able to see her when she uses her abilities. While I think that would be a cool twist, I put the possibility of that kind of swerve very low. Still, if it happens, you heard it here first!
I really liked this episode. I’m back to being interested in most of the characters again, as they are not acting completely stupid.
I wonder if Nathan’s kids have any powers. Are they the only offspring from our current crop of Heroes?
I wonder if West might be Nathan’s clone. Powers might not be inherited exactly, but wouldn’t a clone potentially have the same abilities?
But EVERYBODY has a super power on this show. That’s why it’s called “Heroes”, right? Some are less obvious; Burger Bonanza manager has the power to look like Chi McBride and Uhura has super-napping powers that allow her to doze while kids talk and watch TV in the same room. Mikah’s cousin can make water drip on your face (he’ll probably be able to control larger bodies of water later on) and who knows what eerie power the friend-of-Burger Queen possesses. Merely the power to reveal a character’s backstory or much, much more? Super-french frying, perhaps?
And not only does every single character have a super power, some are getting new ones. Nathan now has the power to make his reflection look like the Phantom of the Opera. He’s done it twice now. It might not seem like a very useful power, but just you wait.
Yeah, yeah I know there are two or three characters who don’t SEEM to have powers yet, but who’ll be the least bit surprised when Claire’s brother sprouts a third eye in the middle of his forehead or Mohinder’s hair develops a separate consciouness?
Micah of course is an offspring of the current crop. Future-Matt had a son who apparently had powers, but mainstream Matt believes that the baby his ex was carrying was not his.
For anyone besides me who cares, that was Rey Misterio Jr. wrestling Randy Orton. The move is called the “619” because it is Rey’s area code, and after he hits it, it is time to go home.
I think it bears repeating:
The person/persons killing the 12 does not have to be one of them - Papa Sulu’s recognition of him/her does not make him a member.
Molly being scared of the “boogeyman” does not make the boogeyman bad - just scary to Molly.
I think these two ideas will play out better than the alternative(s).
I also get the feeling that ‘BurgerGirl’ will be the first to don costume and fight villany in that fair city.
Is is just me or did that kid look distractingly like former American Idol contestant Melinda Doolittle.
One of Nathan’s kids - Claire - has a power.
The Haitian also has the power to move wind chimes (although we may already have seen that last season).
Forgot to add - did anyone else do a double-take when Matt admitted the reason for the divorce was his wife was pregnant as the result of her affair?! Had they already established this? I watched the entire first season recently, and just remember the two of them being all shmoopy and stupidly-happy about her being pregnant, and when I heard that last night my heart broke for Matt a little.
Why on Earth would you think that this show – which foreshadows plot points for entire episodes before they’re realized – would pull clones out of nowhere to explain something that they’ve already told us happens?
Powers repeat. Claude knew another empath before Peter. Claire and Kensei both heal. Nathan and West both fly.
No clone goofiness required.
I think the windchimes were moving because of a big ol’ whoosh. They were established last season as Claire’s signal to alert the Haitan she needed to talk to him. Now Noah is using the same signal. So, they’d move because they’re wind chimes, hung out in the wind.
He had the power to teach mastery of swordfighting in half an hour.
How about Joanna Cassidy for Niki’s mom? Did we ever see her mom?
I hear wind chimes. The Haitian must be near. 
I thought this was pretty great - best episode of the new season so far and a big relief after last week when I was beginning to think the show was starting to lose its way.
Mind you, I’m even more confused about Angela Petrelli’s injuries now. So they were self-inflicted, technically? So are we dealing with some sort of astral projectionist here, a powerful telepath… or are her nails just really that lethal and she staged the whole thing? But why do that?
I’m presuming she’s not faking it as
A) she has confessed to the crime anyway.
B) Matt the telepath believes her.
C) Nathan believes she’s innocent and she doesn’t so much argue as deem it irrelevant compared to worse crimes she actually has carried out. This does not seem like someone trying to go the extra mile to hide a crime.
Any thoughts?
By the way, Christine Rose was AWESOME this week - I really hope they keep her around. As was Adrian Pasdar - so glad to see him back and onscreen for longer than two minutes this week too. I think the show really suffers when he’s not around.
Presumably the medical conclusion, since there was no one visible in the room with her, is that they are self-inflicted.
Matt does not believe that she killed Papa Sulu. She told him mentally that her confession was the only way to keep “them” from finding out “what we can do.”
Agreed…but it would be a very comic book thing to do. (Looking at YOU, Spider-Clone)
Now this reminds me of an interesting point. What are we to make of Sylar’s behavior this ep? He deliberately does not refer to himself as Sylar, giving the sense that perhaps he is trying to distance himself from his past and start anew, but then he bashes Surf-boy’s head in before taking off with the Wonder Twins.
So is he reformed, reforming, failing to reform, or just the same miserable sonovabitch he’s always been and proud of it? With no power-sucking ability, what does he want with Maya and Alejandro?
He wants Suresh to make him better again, to make him Sylar again. Probably hasn’t yet figured out how he’ll convince the addled doctor to help a sociopath, though.
Or turned invisible after either surviving the fall or grabbing onto something on the way down until the coast was clear.
Honestly, I don’t know what peoples’ problem is with thinking the unseen killer is Claude.
After all, just this week there have been two articles from apparently the same interview where Christopher Eccleston talked, not about his current stinker of a movie, but how much he enjoyed being served tea on the set of Heroes when he was filming his scenes a million years ago, and he refuses to confirm or deny that he’ll be on this season.
Ergo Claude is the killer. QED.
I think she’s either doing the killing herself, or knows who is and is involved with that person in an evil way. There was a very quick smirk on her face as she was led out of the police station that was kinda like “Heh. I tricked the empath.”
You heard it here first.
