Another very cool visual. And an insight into her psyche (she's mean) when she deliberately shifts to look like the shot up Simone. i must admit i kind of enjoyed that moment myself. i was tiring of isaac blaming everybody but himself for simone's death. i liked that, too! ;D i wonder if nathan has started to figure out what's up with niki/jessica, seeing as that's at least twice now that she's dramatically shifted personas around him or referenced a different persona. it seems like the issue in that scene was that mohinder's own curiosity got the better of him. i think it's interesting that sylar knew exactly what nerve to strike. he seems to be good at pushing peoples' buttons.

yep, this is what drives me crazy about having a shapeshifter integral in a plot. i don't like never knowing whether other characters are talking to the actual person or the shapeshifter. **nods** It's as unnerving as the invisible power. You can never be sure of your plotting now. for some reason i find it more unnerving. i don't know why. that reminds me that we didn't see claude at all in this episode. i wonder if we won't see him for a few episodes now that he's tried to go under the radar...?

That was great! And I love how Hiro took him with him to the future. That was so wonderful. How Hiro just knew that they could go together. That he wasn't going to let Ando stay behind in danger - they won't be split up again! that was awesome. hiro has learned another hero's lesson: even heroes need back-up. ;D

Everybody's already said everything. Great rollercoaster of an episode. Loved, loved, loved, Ando - I knew he wouldn't just go tamely home when he knew Hiro still needed his bestest buddy. Poor Mr Bennet, he really does love his family. Poor Claire. At least now she's got a brand-new grandma. I wonder what's going on there. Maybe Granny Petrelli has powers too. If so, that'd make a three-generation family of heroes. Everybody has a secret organization, looks like. It all just got way more complicated. Six weeks. Six fulking weeks. Anne, grrrr arrgh

Wow, a Clockwork Lindermann. Hee. Unfortunately, the opening credits spoiled me for who Linderman was. I saw "Malcolm McDowell", and I was all, "Well, that can be anyone but Mr. Linderman."

Hiro said he didn't recognize Peter without his scar—and I bet that's the scar he was talking about! I thought the same thing...means that Peter's almost certainly gonna survive this, if only because he hasn't acquired any new visible scars since Hiro said that.

oh, momo! just when i was starting to think you were too stupid to live, you come through! I was so hopefull for a while. But then when Sylar goaded him and he didn't kill Sylar, I was just all . . . damn. You should just have taken his head right off, Mohinder. Whatever he knew? You can find out some other way. Or else you don't need to know. Yes. It's the "stay and gloat". Gets you every time. He should have: 1) Extracted any samples he needed while he had Sylar drugged. 2) Emptied the gun into Sylar's head before he woke up. 3) Left town.

Except for the leaving town part; I say call HRG and get him to deal with the mess in exchange for information on "The List."

From the wonderful world of LJ:People who are Way More Badass Than We Thought:
1. Mrs. Bennet. Who knew she could be so pulled together and with it? 2. Ando. For the win! 3. Mama Petrelli. Okay, so she was always kind of a bitchy badass, but this just takes it to the next level. 4. Mohinder. Okay, you just redeemed yourself for being clueless before. Kind of. Too bad about getting stapled to the ceiling. Think he's dead? I bet not.
People Who are Not Quite As Badass As We Thought:
1. Nathan. Points for secret FBI opeations, but points off for wimping out at the end. Shoot him. Have you forgotten you can fly away? Although I guess that would require at least getting out of the building on your own. 2. Bennet. Okay, so he's still made of awesome, but his emotions are making him sloppy and he may now be what we call "fucked." 3. Linderman. So you're played by Malcolm McDowell. Vegetable-chopping is not very badass. And the totally-fake sounds of superfast chopping was really lame.
People Who Always Were, and Will Continue to Be, Badass:
1. Peter. Um...Sylar? Are you aware that this man has all your powers? And just absorbed the ones you've acquired since your last meeting? Good luck with opening his skull because I think he's about to go medieval on your ass. NO ONE cuts the Emo Bangs of Peter Petrelli and lives to tell about it! 2. DL. So not fooled. But how long has it been since he actually did anything? 3. Eric Roberts. The face that haunts my nightmares. 4. The Haitian Sensation. I could listen to him talk all day. 5. Claire. Invincible AND a pickpocket.
People Who Never Were, and Will Never Be, Badass:
1. Isaac. Shut up. Forever. 2. Hiro. You're adorable. But your cute-Japanese shtick is wearing really, really thin. Like, thin enough to read a newspaper through. DO SOMETHING! I'm only taking it on faith at this point that your badass future self even exists. 3. Jessiniki. You don't fool me. You're a thousand yards of boring dressed up like Ali Larter. 4. Matt. Get a clue. Please. Don't make me beg. By the way, I hate your wife.
Things That Are More Badass Than This Show:
1. Nothing.

At first, after my kids and I (keep in mind: 10yo and freaking 5yo) were screaming, at several points "Shut up and KILL him!", I thought...okay, Peter can grab Mohinder and go blinvisible and fly away. Later today, I thought...okay, wait...Peter can stop time and teleport if he realizes what he picked up from Hiro.
And can I just say to whatever LJ person said Hiro is not badass: Hiro and his supercuteness IS totally badass. He's just suffering a temporary lack of confidence. So I hope this LJ person, should s/he should be lucky enough to HAVE a partner, is able to show a bit more sympathy to said partner should they ever suffer a similar confidence-induced lack of, you know, ability to perform.

I did not see the connection between Mama Petrelli and L'haitien, myself. Wow.
At least she's on Claire's side. I think.
Why oh why didn't Mohinder just plug Sylar when he had the chance!!!!
GAIL I guess it's not always the bad guys with the too-big egos and the need to monologue.
