Could the evacuation order for NYC in Peter's jump into the future, and the 93% of the population being dead in the preview, have something to do with Maya's little habit of unleashing the plague? Maybe without Alejandro to balance her, she'll go wild; or go wild after Sylar kills Alejandro (which Sylar would do, for fun if nothing else), and infect too many. Or Sylar will get the power of plague-carrying, and find a way to step up the contagion...I'm thinking either Maya or else the stuff Bob was wanting Mohinder to use. And it mutated, like Mohinder was afraid of. Yeah, the outcome was all "oh, she's ok, just a bit freaked". But it was a very not nice prank. I can think of a few other ways they could have outed her about drinking without making her think she'd seen a murder and was about to be murdered herself. And particularly nasty when we remember the similarity to events that Claire went thru herself last year. Seeing a fellow squad member killed, the bloody body on the stairs, etc. [/color][/quote] Maybe the Company removed his fingerprints previously. ;D

Random musings: Peter and Sylar are polar opposites - Peter has no memories, but can access his powers; Sylar has memories, but no powers. Noah Bennet has really crossed back over to the Dark Side. He's still hot. Claire is drifting that way as well; I think West is a Bad Hat and he's leading her astray. Poor Hiro finally gets to kiss the girl of his dreams, and he breaks history again. "But all I did was kiss the girl!" </ Brothers O'Toole> In the last scene? I think it's the Company's "vaccine". Dr. Momo was afraid it'd mutate into the general population, and maybe that's what happened - Bob shot one of his lab rats up and turned him or her loose. Oh, dear, I hope it wasn't Monica, because the scene of her being returned to NO with Company goodie bag was a little too cute... P.S. Is it just me, or does this season feel like recycled S1? We have a new cute teenager with superpowers (Monica), a hopeless romance that's bound to end badly (Hiro, again), and New York gets destroyed. Again.

wow. HRG shown to be fully conscious of the ramifications of his choices. powerful stuff. I think it is not the first time he's done this. The love he feels for Claire had changed him for a time, but just like Kensei, he resorted to type when feeling threatened or angry. I don't feel that West was being evil when he encouraged Claire to get rid of the evil cheerleader (and she was a bitch - worse than Cordelia ever was). Claire didn't need much of a push to do it. In fact, the only reason she held back on the first day of school was because of her father's warning. Then the HRG call, and all bets were off. Claire resorted to type, too. West encouraged her, yeah, but I think she would've gotten there on her own eventually. And the way West planned it, no one was the wiser - which is better than Claire going all nutso on the chick.

Also. The mention of the HRG's invisible friend gives me hope that we'll soon see CE back.

Yikes. Nobody likes a line. All that standing around, waiting... Wait, unless it's one of those ones in the sand... Heh. Some like those kind of lines, and some don't. Some people need to cross those lines, and some won't. Every day there is a frickin' line.

I'm thinking Claire's new boyfriend is setting her on the slippery slope. I'm thinking he's with the Company. I'm thinking HRG doesn't want Claire dating because he's afraid of more than just discovery. He knows how the Company works, how they infiltrate, how they get inside. and to the Company that would be a double victory - someone almost-invincible on their side, and having destroyed HRG internally by undoing all the work he'd done with the goal of protecting claire from them.

I think it is not the first time he's done this. yes, i definitely agree - he even said something like "you taught me well" as he was starting to stage the scene. but i've gotten the sense over the course of the show that he used to blindly follow orders, no matter what he might have thought on his own if he'd allowed himself to think/feel/etc. it felt in this scene, to me, like he was very consciously thinking through the consequences of his actions, and making the choice deliberately. he's using his old skills to a new purpose now. yes, it's very ironic that his obvious-to-claire deceptions while in pursuit of protecting her (and himself) are pushing her more towards grey-hattedness.

Ah, good theory. West would then be using what he (The Company) knows about Claire's nature against her. Very sneaky. He has the face for it. I'd trust him. Which makes me wonder why Maya trusts Sylar. He definitely does not have a face a mother could love.

So, are we assuming that The Haitian took away Peter's memories?

So, are we assuming that The Haitian took away Peter's memories? Given that, due to his illness, the Haitian didn't have access to his ability when Mohinder found him, I'm personally a bit hesitant to assume as much—Peter's reaction upon being found indicated to me that whatever gave him amnesia had just happened, as otherwise you'd think Peter would have remembered stuff that had occurred prior to being put in the box even if he still didn't know who he was. Plus I'd like to believe Peter will eventually remember his previous life, and so far it appears that memories the Haitian removes are gone permanently.

So, are we assuming that The Haitian took away Peter's memories? An invisible man who just happened to be named Claude Raines? I'm thinking very strongly that it's an adopted name. Huh. He'd be able to get in and kill Kaeto easily, but he can't exactly have survived the drop...

Random musings: Peter and Sylar are polar opposites - Peter has no memories, but can access his powers; Sylar has memories, but no powers. Oh, excellent thought! And it fits so well, what with them being arch-nemesisisis last season! Oh thank heaven I'm not the only one with dirtybadwrong thoghts about Mr BB. This is my vibe as well. He's wanting her to buy into a "we're special-er and better than those pesky normals" mentality. I'm thinking it's the vaccine as well. And now you have me very worried about Monica. I'd more say that it's a reimagining / reexploration of the themes from a different perspective . . . But perhaps I'm just more of a lightweight. ;D
