So, Elle is Delilah to Peter's Samson; she cut his hair and took his power from him. Alright, alright, so Bob took Peter's powers, but still, you know what I mean. Besides, Elle was the one actually giving Peter the pills. Elle and her little visits to Peter in his cell reminds me of Drusilla playing with her "puppy". That girl is just not right in the head. She's an electric Drusilla. The twins are still annoying, especially Maya.I wonder if there's a village somewhere in Central America with a statue of the Virgin that weeps tears of blood? It's just that the image of Maya weeping black goo is so distinctive. Adam's a master manipulator (years of practice, no doubt) and I don't trust him an inch. P.S. And now, having encountered the Haitian, Peter can mindwipe. I wonder if we'll learn Mama Petrelli's power (which I think is mind-manipulation, very feminine and mommyish with the touching and the soft voice & ) when Peter uses it. Poor baby, you'd think his little head would explode... I think they can't really do anything with the character because in order for her to manifest her powers, she has to be threatened so all the writers can do every week is find some way to put her in danger again. So she's only been functioning as a peril-attracting perpetual victim which IS very annoying. We've all had enough of plot-device damsels in distress over the years. Seriously. I just want Maya to get a grip on herself already.

yeah. i wish he had shifted when he first saw the gun! For a while I wondered why he didn't phase; he certainly had enough time to. But then it occurred to me that not phasing might have been one last act of heroism on D. L.'s part—they were on a busy staircase in a fairly crowded place, so if the bullet goes through D. L. there's a good chance someone else dies instead. Oh, that makes sense; I was wondering about that. And I think that even though the Paper Company wasn't directly involved in what happened with Nikki and DL, they were anticipating that it would happen and that Nikki would eventually come back into the fold. I wouldn't be surprised if they were manipulating things behind the scenes.

D.L.'s death . . . how lame was that? First of all, how long does a person have to train to become a firefighter? And two, the entire method in which D.L.'s death was set up was just so badly handled. If Kring wanted D.L. off the show, couldn't he have killed the character at the end of Season 1? It usually takes about 12-14 weeks of training to become a firefighter. So if D. L. began shortly after he got out of the hospital, then the timing actually works out almost perfectly. Hmm. OK.

Poor baby, you'd think his little head would explode... The twins really did cover ground though between tragedies - Dominican Rep in the Caribbean to Venezuela in South America to Central America where we first met them. And they didn't get worried about crossing borders while on a "Wanted" list til now? leftylady, whose favorite weeping madonna is La Macarena in Seville - crystal tears and all but weeping oil is apropos for Opec member venezuela
