Oh, he's Aquaman! Cool! So, he could just hide underwater and stuff.  So, the guy she was going to marry is a dangerous guy, so probably they should be stopping the wedding. "You did it the wrong way." "I did it my way." Ando is right, because Hiro is jealous. But Hiro is right that it is different from the drawing, although who knows if that scene will happen later. And now Ando is grabbed.  Heh! There's Sylar being all mentory stern grown up guy. [colo=red]"Our powers are not for amusement, Luke." No, little padawan, they are for killing and eating people's brains. Don't be such a slacker! [/color] Nicely done, kid. Nice diversion. Ah, and he leaves him there. Do they know the kid is a powers kid? Yep. Zapped with a dart. So, did Sylar think he was saving the kid by leaving him or is he throwing him in the way of the agents as a diversion to help him get away? [/quote]  |

Teaser & Part I Dinner time at the Bennett house. About Claire's "college visiting trip." Well, that killed the mood. I'm so tired of the "don't tell anybody anything because it's safer for them" spiel. At Government HQ. Sylar and Sidekick Totally Awesome RoadTrip. So you're like a serial killer. Not "like," buddy, "is." Sylar claims he's not a serial killer.  OK, he admits it. That's better. Claire and the comic book shop. Hey, comic book shop guy is cute. Hiro and Ando. They're there to stop a wedding. When did this happen? Well, that was easy. Oh hey. It's whatshername. "You really got to stop trying to be my friend or I'm going to have to kill you." Clearly Sylar was absent that day in Kindergarten when they taught about friendship. What the hell have they done to Tracy? Good grief.
I feel sorry for Tracy, but I can't blame the feds for chaining her up in a hot room. I would hope that more humane confinement could be arranged; but the truth is, Tracy has a lethal ability and very little, if any, control over it. She has killed once, not reported it or attempted (as far as I know, feel free to correct me) to get her power removed or take lessons somewhere on how to control it. Peter unwittingly took on her power and accidentally crashed a plane, which probably killed several people.
Sorry, Tracy needs to be locked up, possibly for good. Many of the heroes can control their powers, and use those powers primarily for good. She doesn't; and, bottom line, she is a great danger to others.
If Tracy could be taught to control her powers, perhaps she could be allowed to go free. However, it looked like she deliberately used her power to kill the guard she held; which means she not only is improving her control over the icing, but has no compunction against using it to kill. True, she was panicked, with good reason; but the bottom line is that while I'd have no problem with Peter or Claire or Parkman or Daphne living in my building, I sure as h*ll wouldn't want Tracy around; out of fear for my life.
Which is not to say that if Tracy has to be confined for the foreseeable future, they would have to find a way to do so in a more humane way.
And going after the high-school boy who has the totally menacing power of breathing underwater is ridiculous, and emblematic of how far into the paranoid fanatic Nathan has descended.

this government storyline is doing absolutely nothing for me. i find my mind wandering whenever it's on screen, and this week i found myself actually considering fast-forwarding bits of it, which is very rare for me with tv shows. i'm also still not overly enthusiastic about sylar's storyline, though i did find it amusing that he listened to "psycho killer" in the car (heh).
in this episode, i particularly enjoyed the hiro/ando/indian women and clare scenes (especially with mama bennet and with underwater guy), but i'm feeling irritated that we didn't even get an answer to whether daphne's actually dead or just mistakenly presumed dead this week.

What happened to the thread for last night's episode?  There doesn't seem to be one anywhere. Is the discussion on new Heroes episodes over?
