Ah, that's right. I'd forgotten the photograph. Nevermind that part, then. I still think that the way Nathan was behaving in the dream means something, though. I completely agree.

Hm. Since indications are the online graphic novels are canon (although no solid confirmation, ie a reference in the show to something that only happened in a comic), I thought I'd share that this week's installment is about what happens when Mr. Bennett tells Eden's father that his daughter is dead. And if anyone's interested in reading the story themselves, you can find it here.

Ok, we've replaced "Save the cheerleader, save the world." with "How do you stop an exploding man?" God, this show is fun! Heee! Now I hear that to the tune of "how do you mend a broken heart". How do you stop an exploding man? How do you stop the world from going "Boom"? A mushroom cloud the sun's obscuring As New York becomes a big tomb.
Hey...Hey..How do you stop a guy who's glowing? Whose power can give such a rash? Maybe the Haitian will be the wet blanket That stops our turning to ash."

I believe that Sylar will only be the "Big Bad" for Season 1.

So are we supposed to see Matt's headaches as existential angst or as a side-effect of his telepathy? And what the hell is his status at the moment? LAPD officer on detached duty with the FBI, that he can go haring off to Texas? He received a month suspension by punching his partner and superior, remember? I suspect he is "unofficially" working with the Feeb. Vlad

I am really really irritated that they are doing their damndest to make Daddy Bennett difficult to hate, in their own bizarre way. And I kinda like it, too. He's not two-dimensional, that's for damn' sure. And good on you for calling Eden's intentions!

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I liked how part of her reason for wanting to kill Sylar was because she genuinely liked Chandra. And I'm having no problem hating Mr. Bennett today, even having read the comic. Taking away Zach's memory of their friendship, and thus the best friend Claire's ever had... yeah, it completely pisses me off every time I think of it. Never mind doing the same to his own family. Which makes me even happier the Haitian (and, as I said to Greg last night, could we please find out this guy's actual name? 'Cause for one, "Haitian" is a pain to type) is apparently rebelling against ClaireDaddy's plan. Oooh... maybe he and Eden were working together to subvert what ClaireDaddy had in mind?

It's possible. I think Yola was wondering about that too. And yeah, I think of his wife and Zach, especially, and get all het up again. And the Haitian will probably turn out to have some long, complicated name like Georges-Henri-Francois-Jean-Rene.

I still don't think it's the DNA he's absorbing. Or at least, not only that. Because it doesn't make sense, to me. So of course I'll be wrong, 'cause it clearly makes sense to the writers. I think what he's doing is literally seeing how the brains are different. These powers, most of them, involve changes in how the brains work, and I think that's why he has to look at them. Because all the DNA in the world isn't a blueprint for brain construction. All of which makes sense, of course. My original thought wasn't so much about Sylar's method of acquiring power, it was the overall effect said acquisitions could eventually have. If we operate on the assumption that Peter was negatively affected by the close proximity of too many "specials" at once, it offers the further possibility that Sylar has a big problem on his hands (or brain, as the case may be). For his part, Peter could solve this problem easily enough: learn his limits, then monitor his level of contact. Sylar, on the other hand, appears to absorb powers permanently. If he were to take over Nuke-Dude's power, perhaps Sylar himself will become the bomb due to an overload he can't escape. Or, in the more depressing alternative, the heroes defeat Sylar somehow... but while doing so, Peter gets close enough to become a human nuclear weapon in his own right. He may have to commit suicide to save the world, which would fit the prophetic scenario in the dream.

And the Peter/Claire 'shippers have come up with their own portmanteau word: Paire. Of course.

Claire's just hero-worshipping the cute guy (with powers!) who saved her life, and Peter isn't interested in Claire in that way. He's in love with Simone.
