Part II
Claire's trying to be proactive. And she's noticed that her character is always made a victim. Excellent development.
Nathan's thinks Nikki is Nikki. And NotNikki doesn't know about Nikki? This should be interesting.
Ah, Tracy Strauss.
Linderman is there again. I'm confused. Is Linderman actually there or a hallucination for Nathan to bounce ideas off of?
Midas is dead, isn't he? Yep.
So now Sylar can turn things into gold. And Elle will never be able to resolve her daddy issues.
And Elle has control over the whole set up. This should be interesting.
Daddy Bennett sees Sylar heals. And he thinks that Sylar actually killed Claire. Which Sylar doesn't clarify.
Oh, hey, it's Weevil!
Don't tell me Sylar killed Elle. She was just about to get interesting.

Part III
Yay, Elle's not dead!
You know, sorting through all this stolen stuff with your bare hands is really stupid.
So Nathan can get the senator seat he wanted after all.
Ah, NotPeter is FuturePeter.
FuturePeter wants forgiveness. Interesting.
So FuturePeter's mission is a very personal one.
Tracy will be Nathan's adviser.
So this guy's a reporter? Ah, the footage from Nikki and Nathan's tryst.
Tracy's getting agitated. Does that mean she's going to revert?
No! She's turns into Mr. Freeze! WTF?
Wait, do each of Nikki's alter egos have a different power then?

Part IV
Mama Petrelli and Elle.
So Mama Petrelli's in charge now. Damn, I was interested in seeing what Elle was going to do with the place.
Mama Petrelli is being a right bitch. and incredibly cold.
Elle gets cast out into the world.
About Catwoman.
Don't kill me and I won't punish you.
Ah, Hiro picked Superspeeder's weak spot.
Who is Superspeeder's boss?
It was behind the Mona Lisa the whole time! LOL.
Ah, they put a tracker on the medal. Clever.
Mohinder blacked out again?

Coda
Matt in the desert. Is he going to run into a Naked Indian?
Is he reading the turtles thought? Nope. OK, Matt's in Africa. Why the hell is he in Africa? And how much is the show going to fuck up it's depiction of the continent?
So this guy is also a Hero. Does he get dreams/visions too?
Claire and Daddy Bennett reunited. Aw...
Nathan and Linderman. playing checkers.
OK, yeah. Linderman is a hallucination.
This is just like that scene in Lost when Hurley was playing chess with Mr. Eko.
Laundry list of escaped Heroes. Villain.
Ah, Weevil is Jesse.
Claire wants to help Daddy Bennett, but Daddy Bennett refuses. Parallel with Elle.
Claire's mom again!
FuturePeter put PresentPeter in Jesse's body? Let's count the number of ways that could and has gone wrong.
Off on a crime spree.
Sylar back in captivity again. I'm sure he'll be out again in a few episodes, if not .
Ew... Mama Petrelli is getting a little too cozy with Sylar.
Ew... Mama Petrelli is actually Sylar's mom? And she's still caressing his face like that.
Also, her being his mom makes a lot of sense.

This hour was a lot better than the first hour. Or else I was just paying a lot more attention.

So Mattie is someplace hidden. Huh. And Sylar is breaking a bunch of cops. Breaking the hell out of two Women in Black. And Elle's bad Daddy warping her even more. And back to Hiro and Ando. TALK with him Hiro! tell him what you are worried about! Daphne Milbrook. It's not what you did? It's what you will have gone and done. Or something. Tracey Strauss and Governor who? Bruce Boxleitner! Woohoo! So Nikki is now Tracey. Hiro's getting good witht eh long-range precision. As good as Google maps. I do like this thief. and her taste. So Claire, what are you wondering about.. do you still feel sensation, or do you just not feel pain? So you're gonna throw yourself under a TRAIN?!?!? And bring Uncle Peter back into the equation. If you can feel touch and other sensation, but just can't feel cutting stabbing pain, well, my heart freaking bleeds for ya, claire. Ah, that's her name.That's a good point, especially since the function of pain, to warn of injury, is completely moot in her case.

Nikki is now Tracey? What happened to Micah?
It's always nice to see Colonel Sheridan Bruce Boxleitner.
Isn't Lindermann dead?
I have such a desire to decapitate Kristin Bell's character's father. Oops, someone already did.
GAIL That's a good point about Micah. I can't remember, but is he maybe still with Uhura and Monica? And I'm all for complexity and sprawling storyline and a cast of thousands, but aren't those all the things that those who praised Heroes and poo-pooed Lost criticized Lost for? Doesn't the show risk losing that part of the fanbase?

If you can feel touch and other sensation, but just can't feel cutting stabbing pain, well, my heart freaking bleeds for ya, claire. indeed. how teenage-years to think being able to feel pain is what makes one human. Actually that seems like a very mature response to me. I would think that the typical teenage response would be to do every thrill seeking activity that one could now do without thinking about the consequences, because there are none.

Don't be all creepy and future-revealing, scarface!Uncle!Peter! "Because I'm a replacement from a no-longer-existent future who you tried to kill a week ago" So Nathan is in Odessa? Maybe Tracey really isn't Niki with another name. Governor Malden Is Bruce Boxleitner's name. Identical cousin? YEEK! Linderman meeting again! Okay. Identical cousin. God only knows. Maybe Jean Deaux wiped her brain and someone else re-wrote her. And back to Elle and Baddest Daddy. Yay! he's ded! Sylar's there! And Enter the Noah. Oh, god, Sylar's gonna use some weird mind-frakking on Bennet to make him thnk Claire's dead. Well, that gun's useless now. And Sylar's now got funding.Whoohoo! She esploded!!!! Heh. That's a good point.

is it significant that he called her 'ice queen' in his mock headline and then she turned him into ice? (and if nikki really did die in the fire, how come ali larter gets to keep being on the show and leonard roberts didn't?) Heh. And excellent point.

So we have Mattie and a talking Turtle. Massai? Damn. Asshole Peter zapped him to Africa. All the way to Massailand. "I Should have gone with Sprint" Heee! He's anther future painter. Only he gets more information out of it. Like names.Daddy's home!!!! Linderman's not just in his head. Strauss saw him, too. Or not. So Linderman is a ghostie? A figment of his imagination? Ah, hell. I wanna know. What does Jesse do? Especially since Peter's stuck in his head. Supervillians on the loose! Oh Noes! That's why this volume is called Villians! Let her go with you. I mean, it's not like she can get hurt or something. HER BIO MOM?! The pyrokinetic? This isn't gonna be at all awkward. So Future Peter is gonna try to kill Sylar? Oh, he was gonna let his earlier self out of the prison he stuck him in. They ARE supervillians. JESUS. Stop them, Peter, jesus. use the fearsome powers your host has and stop them. Where the hell Is Jean Deaux? Did he die in the comics, too? Cripes! Mama Petrelli! Don't let him loose! he'll rip your brain out and and kill you. Dont you know this?!? She IS his mother? he's another Frimping Petrelli!?!?!?!!?! AAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, OK, he sees the future through painting, not dreams.And it's like that icon Sarah used to have "Vote Petrelli; you just might be related to him."

I would think that the typical teenage response would be to do every thrill seeking activity that one could now do without thinking about the consequences, because there are none. i understand your point, but it seems to me like claire is correlating physical and emotional pain - that she fears that because she can no longer feel physical pain, she'll lose her humanity. but feeling physical pain isn't the only way to connect to empathy.

Nikki is now Tracey? What happened to Micah? That's a good point about Micah. I can't remember, but is he maybe still with Uhura and Monica? if i recall correctly (which i may not!), last we saw micah, nikki, and monica, monica had been kidnapped and micah and nikki were trying to get her back via micah using her cellphone to track her (since electrical stuff is his power). they tracked her to a building, where there was a fire or explosion or something that may or may not have injured/killed nikki and monica. (i think micah was out in their car, waiting for nikki to come out with a rescued monica.) that was last season. i'm still not sure whether tracy is supposed to be nikki's new personality or someone who's somehow related to nikki and happens to look like her. i think we're not supposed to be sure at this point, though...

I would rather have had more of the Micah/Monica/Uhura storyline than anything involving Sylar or Maya, but I guess I won't get my wish...
Since I missed much of the first part, can anyone answer a question now burning in my mind - Where Is Mr. Muggles? Did he get killed, run away in the confusion, or have Mrs. Bennet and the writers forgotten about him? Did I just miss seeing him?
I do hope this season turns out better than what I saw of its beginning. I like an intelligent plot that keeps the viewer guessing, but there was a unity of purpose in the first season, of self-discovery and prevention of a disaster, and people coming together. Now there seems to be multiple disasters, multiple and too confusing timelines, and people spinning off into different directions, some of which don't interest me. And if I find the confusion more overwhelming, not to mention too much carnage and not enough Neat Stuff, what will the average viewer think?
Another question - whatever happened to that poor Irish girl who Peter hauled into the possible future with him and is stuck there? Of course, I'm more interested in Mr. Muggles' fate, but I would think Peter would think about her, or flash back to her, or something...
GAIL
