[QUOTE=simster] Who was the Haitian reffering to when he said he was answering to a higher up when it came to Claire? [/QUOTE] He was referring to Claire herself. I don’t remember the exact wording, but he was basically saying that Claire should be in charge of her own life now, and that she should be the authority when it came to decisions about her life. ---

[QUOTE=Terminus Est] I think the Haitian is just going to erase AED’s memories of his letting Claire go. The cover story is probably going to be that AED got shot as Claire and the Haitian were trying to escape. Maybe even Claire herself shot him. Depending on how much the Haitian has to erase, my guess is that Ambiguously Evil Dad isn’t going to be so ambiguously evil anymore. [/QUOTE] I don’t think so. Remember, AED told Hatian to “go deep” on him, which is the same instruction he gave when Hatian completely erased Jock McRapist way back when. ---

Take \*that \*Lost! We got some answers here. The Company isn’t just a watchdog outfit, they really are quite evil. I don’t know why they’re playing catch and release, but I suppose it’s just that they let guys they can’t use go, and co-opt or dissect ones they can. We still don’t know exactly who they’re working for. ---

[QUOTE=friedo] I don’t think so. Remember, AED told Hatian to “go deep” on him, which is the same instruction he gave when Hatian completely erased Jock McRapist way back when. [/QUOTE] Be sure to send the Haitian over to Union Wells HS and vaporize every trace of Claire from school records, everyone’s memories, the yearbooks lying under the beds of every teenager in town… Maybe he’ll just be able to wipe out the memory that Claire is a genetic first aid kit and plant the memory that 1) the Haitian kidnapped her or 2) she just ran away. A possible 3) she croaked saving Daddy’s life in the never-to-be-explained house fire at Casa Bennett. ---

Heh, just think, Haitian would have had his work cut out for him if he had to make everybody who saw that explosion and Claire walking out of the house forget what happened. It’ll be extremely interesting to see what Claire does next. I suspect she’ll go see her real Mom or maybe even Nathan. Interesting that Nathan gets a face to face with Linderman; I guess Niki/Jessica was sent out to retrieve him, not kill him. I love Matt when he’s not doing heinous family life thing. Hopefully The Company or something keeps him away from that for a long while. As an aside, are there any web links up to the preview for next week’s episode? Also, noted above, fE-mail completely disappeared from this episode, what the hell? Man this episode definitely got me full swing back in to Heroes though. ---

Matt will become a company man because there’s nothing else he can do. The FBI and the LAPD are both burned bridges. Plus, Primatech has him under its control now, and it seems like the type of outfit whose offers one can’t refuse. Ando was the only character/James Kyson Lee was the only actor who’d been in every episode until tonight. I’m disappointed his streak is broken, although I can’t see a practical way they could have fit him into this storyline. I hope Claire’s mom remembers things now. Good lord, but she was more annoying than Seasons One and Two Joyce Summers. Safe to assume Claire’s going to head to New York now and look up Peter Petrelli. Any guesses how Claude survived the bridge incident? He wasn’t wearing Kevlar unless he also had some squibs, and he couldn’t have known where Mr. Bennet was going to shoot him so both seem unlikely. Who played Mr. Bennet’s boss? He looks like a young James Coburn. ---

Wow. Well, Mr. Sulu clearly is part of the company… but it looks like Linderman isn’t. The saddest thing was the fact that there’s no way AED is going to remember that goodbye. The makeup at the end, showing the burns, was good. Very good makeup. Wow. We got answers. I’m surprised we got out of that without two or three real deaths. ---

As Claire discovers her powers she finds out that her father is secretly working for a company that is trying to control all mutants. She then has to abandon her family thanks to a great sacrifice from her father. We finally have a hero with a very comic book like beginning. Claire’s skin getting torn off by the radiation was a nice touch and the guy who is playing Mr. Bennett is doing an excellent job.
