They showed scenes for next week. No worries, you didn’t miss anything.
Paraphrasing:
“June 23, 2008! But that’s the date of the season finale!”
And I’m amused by how much Nissan execs must be boiling over how their precious Rogue is being displayed. We know it’s quite easy to steal (not the getting in part, but quite easy to hotwire and bypass any sort of cutoff it may have against such a thing). But this episode, we discover that its air conditioning breaks easily or else so drains gas usage that in the middle of the day in Mexico, it’s better to sweat in rivers than to use the AC. At least it can handle dirt roads, right?
Much more likely that the company keeps experimenting with the virus and it crosses lines from the powered folk to the normal mass of humanity. That was one of the things that Mohinder said could happen, and is in fact one of the real nightmares of genetic manipulation.
Or because Mohinder smashed the fridge of viral experiments in his righteous hissyfit! Dude, have you seen Outbreak? 
Gotta say, every time I see “Montreal, Canada”, it irritates me. There’s a province in there, pal. No wonder Americans assume every other country is some homogeneous blob.
Further, there wasn’t anything Montreal-ish in the episode at all. They get to the corner (more accurately, they green-screen themselves in front of a picture of the corner) then walk into a generic antique shop, find the terribly mysterious memo of doom, then let’s do the timewarp… sigh… again.
I was hoping for at least one moment of geographical ludicrousness, such as Peter and Lass-Girl standing in front of the Basilica then one saying “Let’s grab a bite at the diner across the street,” then cutting to an interior shot of them eating at Dunn’s, about 20 blocks away.
Especially when you hit the owner with a brick and take his keys…
I like Hiro’s love triangle. Yet more evidence backing my theory that Kensei never dies and eventually forms the company.
But that whole cheerleading thing is blowing chunks.
I wish my DVR had cut off at that point - NBC keeps showing big spoilers in the previews.
I’m glad that Claire’s dad has turned Ambiguously Evil again. I missed that from last season. Claire’s storyline, on the other hand, has turned even more hopelessly juvenile. I didn’t think they could top not-Zach insipidly flying away with her, but they somehow managed to do that.
Random dude wasn’t the owner, it’s pretty much said outright that he was the one who stole Claire’s Nissan Rouge.
Huh. Somehow that slipped past me. That’s kinda cute, actually.
I thought I was the only one nursing the theory that Kensei is still around. The ubiquitous symbol was/is on his battle banner and sword. If he’s invulnerable, he should be pretty much immortal as well. (see “Highlander”)
I’m thinking that the whole West/Claire story line is a cynical ploy to drag in the starry-eyed tweens - the High School Musical crowd.
he can still die, both Claire and Peter stayed dead due to injuries to the spine stem, so presumably a decapitation would be pretty final, even for a healer like Kensei or Hiro.
Im more interested in the paintings. I’ll sum them up when I go back to the screen tomorrow.
Yup, that’s what I meant. Random dude stole it from Claire. Easy enough to get into the car by her stupidity, but also easy to steal the car from the school without a key (unless she was further stupid by having a spare under a floormat or something).
Ooh! I had an awesome thought: what if Kensei is Papa Petrelli? He’s the only one whose face you don’t really see in the group shot, so it seems to me there’s going to be some surprise about his identity (oh yeah, and that he’s not really dead). His business logo was The Symbol. Wacky, I know…OR IS IT?
It looks to me like they’re setting up “The Corruption of Claire.” West has some ulterior motive, but is he just looking for the guy in horn-rim glasses (who may or may not be Noah) or does he know who Claire and Noah are already and if so is he acting on his own or on someone else’s behest? This is I believe the first time Claire has used her powers for purely selfish ends and it was all West’s idea.
No, that theory’s pretty standard.
Also, one of the paintings in the warehouse was of Hiro and Kensai fighting. Since the paintings are of future events, that means either Hiro brings Kensai back with him (unlikely now that Kensai’s been jilted) or Kensai’s still around.
It’s just a jump to the left…
I like the cheerleader arc - it’s funny! We don’t have as much humor with Hiro being so serious back in the past.
You know, having them randomly burst into goofy tween-pop songs in Claire’s storyline would be kinda whacky awesome. If done right. Either way, though, it’d be better than this crappy plot they’ve got clunking along.
Anybody get a summary of the other Prognostipaintings up somewhere yet? Annoyingly, it didn’t look like the other 6 were the demise of more Company folks.
That was what I thought, too. One was definitely Hiro and Kensei but I didn’t get enough of a look at the others to make them out.
One was someone holding a vial or test tube (Mohinder at the company?).
One can only hope. Personally, I think West has baser motives.
Well, there was the time that Claire retrieved her ring from the [del]InSinkErator[/del] garbage disposal.
