Wow. Wow. I mean, wow! OMG! OMG! OMG!
So many things happened, how can a series keep this pace going each week???
Sylar goes after Claire AT HOME!
Peter uses Claire's ability BY HIMSELF!
Nikki is released from prison, and JESSICA TAKES OVER!
Claire meets her mother, and NATHAN IS HER FATHER!
Isaac is WORKING FOR HRG!
HRG seems to KNOW CLAUDE!
In fact so much happened in this episode that I have only just remembered that there was no Matt :tear: :lol:

I loved this episode, it was (I felt) very Peter and Claire centric, but with Nikki/Jessica and Nathan making very VERY shocking appearances.
I love George Takei. (No, not in that sense, though he would apparently be up for it) he has just the right kind of resonance in his voice to both terrify and tickle you. I wonder if poor Ando will ever get it on with Hiro's sister. :lol: and if she has "powers"? :ponder: Why did she metion that their company should move into "bio-tech" research? :ponder: :ponder:
Am I reading too much into this? I can't help myself :fear: :fear: :fear:
I want/need, to know who or what Linderman is. :ermm:

The past two episodes have been a little slow for me. But some threads keep things going. Epecially Claire's -- which got really interesting with the intro of her parents. I sure wasn't expecting Nathan. :blink:
I thought Hiro's story bogged down in the scenes with his father and sister. The resolution to that was pretty predictable. Worse -- Takei was never a very good actor, and this leaden appearance merely adds to the evidence. At the same time, it demonstrated the opposite for Masi Oka. He can show different facets and perform with sublety, too.

Pretty decent episode, but another one where I felt the pieces were being shifted around ready for the (hopefully) big push towards the end of the season, rather than it being a total knockout. If it hadn't been for Peter using Claire's ability, and then that ending ( :o ) the only thing that really kept it moving was Claire's story which is fast becoming the best part of the show.
As John says, Hiro's story has got bogged down over the last couple of weeks and the outcome was inevitable, and these developments with his father seemed little more than padding and an excuse to get a "big" name as a guest star (if Sulu had growled at Chekov like that he may well have got the bigger role in The Wrath of Khan after all :lol: ). They might have been better off pushing Hiro right into the background for a couple of episodes and focusing on a couple of the other characters :ponder:
They're not doing nearly enough with Isaac, imo, and even the revelation of his hidden motives didn't have the impact that it perhaps should have.
But there were a lot of positives as usual :)
Loved the comment about Peter's hair :lol: and the shot of Niki trapped in the mirror :fear:
Not to mention Peter and the handbag :lmao:
Ando cracks me up :lol:
And another :o for that ending :thumbsup:
