Talking to Pixi, talking to Daria (who won't see Heroes until I get the next tape filled and to her, heh heh heh, but she wants details)...
Anyway, I would describe Linderman's power as we saw it last night as the ultimate green thumb.
For what that's worth.
Nero Wolfe would be fascinated. Orchids. Hee.

Hiro and Ando and Hiro. It's a fabulous Hiro sandwich! I tend to think Isaac is really dead-dead. I mean, he was so sure that he was meant to die, to die a hero because he'd seen how they'll win in the future. But at the same time . . . . maybe he saw that he died but then also didn't die? I'm confused. Well, you're in good company.

You know, they keep having Sylar all unconscious and stuff...kill the motherfulker, already! I mean, really. Mohinder's priorities should be: 1) Kill Sylar via decapitation if at all possible 2) See if Peter's okay. Dude!! Will none of these people learn from past mistakes?! Just croak him! Anytime you have him truly knocked out, just take him out, no muss no fuss!

I think Granny P has a power as well, telling Claire she had to make the same decision that Claire needs to make. she knew about the boys powers. Linderman also said he knew others that had powers besides himself. Granny P arranged Claire to be watched by HRG. And also Hiro's dad was involved in that as well. I am guessing this is a hereditary trait. and Granny P and Hiro's dad also have a power. just a thought. I think Granny Petrelli's power is being a humongously horrid and evil-bent bitch-monster from hell. Just a personal opinion. And you may very well be right. ;D

Good episode. The Petrellis, brothers and mom, are much closer than I'd thought - Nathan's and Mamma's grief over Peter's death was real. **nods** And so fierce when it comes to family. She went right to "hide it", to protect what she sees as the right path for Nathan. That is a most excellent question! Hee! Yeah, where were the giant time monsters that swoop in and take care of stuff like that?

Oh my show, you're back, you're back. I've missed you so. Things I adored: 1. The ending. Future Hiro and present Hiro. And future Hiro looks really pissed off. 2. Mama Petrelli kicked ass. And I want to know what her super power is right now. 3. Bye, bye Mr. Eye-sock. I liked you this ep, you grew a pair. That was scary, horrible, sad and mystifying (what did he figure out? Is it in the comic?) all at once. Great scene. I'm thinking it is in the comic and/or the sketchbook. And I soooo want to know what he saw! He's jonesing for the oval office big time. And not just for the Linderman crazy-ass "you can make the world a better place by blowing up bits of it" reason either. I found it interesting to compare the version of the painting that Sylar did. Granted, Sylar is a rather sucky artist, but still. Didn't Nathan look rather . . . scary, all claw-handed and evil-eyed, in his version? 'Course, Jessica has taken her toll on Linderman's forces before and that was when Micah wasn't directly threatened like this. I wonder just how big a can of whup-ass she's gonna open up on him. ;D Just one more way Sylar is sub-par, isn't it? ;D Can't. Wait. For. Next. Week!

Good episode. The Petrellis, brothers and mom, are much closer than I'd thought - Nathan's and Mamma's grief over Peter's death was real. Mamma P. was, I think, enjoying the thought of showing Claire around Paris. Did Peter absorb the abilities of all the people Sylar killed?Did Sylar get Isaac's addiction along with his ability? Future!Hiro and our Hiro face to face. Isn't that the sort of thing the Doctor warned Rose about? Interesting. I too wonder about that. Sylar and Peter are far, far too powerful as it is right now. Oooh. So, we're meant to see the danger in having lots of powers. If it was just Peter, we might be tempted to be all "yay" (and really, we kind of are all "yay" every time he gets another one, aren't we?), but having Sylar in the mix we see how that is actually a dangerous dangerous thing. So perhaps we should be more concerned or cautious about Peter having them too, eh?

I loved the "I'm confused." And next week's ep looks very intriguing. (It's like allowing themselves to play with AU fanfic plotlines before returning to "real canon.") Heeee! Nice way of putting it. ;D **nods nods nods** Also, look how quickly Nathan started to be more ok with the idea of the city going boom once he started thinking Peter might survive it. Like, as long as my family is OK, then the heck with everyone else. Ooops, typo! But yeah, the incest line is still funny.

I'm confused in the good way. So many possibilities, so many questions about what happens next. Putting the comic book style into the hands of really good writers means they can do anything, any time, as long as they stick to the rules of their universe. I love it. **nods and bounces and squees** Yep, yep, yep! Good confusion is happy confusion. Oooh, I'm not the only one who thought that, eh? We're definitely in a "dueling futures" place. Which one will win out? **joins you**

Oooh, good question, Anne. I did not like the crucifixion scene. Blurgh. The show has been on hiatus so long, I can't remember who knows who anymore. How does Mohinder know Mr. Bennett? I couldn't figure out how he had his business card, and why he felt compelled to call him. That scene was upsetting, although the way he was placed, it reminded me more of DaVinci's Vitruvian Man. Interesting link within the link: The Physics of Superheroes. It could be the clue Isaac referred to - to besting Syler, or maybe the clue was in the final comic or original sketches. Oh, yes! DaVinci's "proportions" man - I can totally see the similarity to that! HRG came to see Mohinder at one point, didn't he?

I seem to remember a scene, though I don't recall which episode, where Mr. Bennett talked briefly with Mohinder and gave him his business card and asked him to call him if he needed help, after they briefly discussed the issue of people with powers (maybe not in much detail).
Personally, I don't understand why any serialized TV drama goes through this business of off-and-on, new episodes/reruns/recaps. I thought, when I was a kid, that the shows would run throughout the TV year except for two or so weeks in December, and then one would wait until the next season for new episodes. I would much prefer one long arc, October-April or whatever, with 2-3 weeks off in December, then reruns, then the new season.
GAIL **nods** The old seasons worked nicely before. And actually, if you want to talk about counter programming and all that, well . . . the old way is now so abandoned by everyone that it would be new and novel and counter-programmy to go back to it.

Anytime you have him truly knocked out, just take him out, no muss no fuss! Well, I disagree here. Mohinder was injured, and he thought Peter was dead. If Mohinder failed to kill Sylar before Sylar awoke, due to him recently having been hung from a ceiling and dripping blood, Mohinder would be dead and Sylar would eat Peter's brain and become even more insanely powerful. I think Mohinder made the right move; he knew his physical limitations and the danger of Sylar getting ahold of Peter's powers.

Hee. what if Linderman's power isn't to heal, but to bring back to life? The plant was dead, he brought it back. I wonder if that will work on humans? Or it could be just to heal, I just thought there may be more too it than just healing power.

Great episode. One scene I really enjoyed was the coffee shop scene where HRG and Matt and radioactive guy discussed stuff. Is there any chance HRG is playing them? We don't really know how much the Haitian has wiped, do we? What if he's regressed to the point he's a bad guy player again? (I'm very very tired, so maybe there's a flaw in my thinking and there's something that makes it clear where HRG stands "now.") I'm tired of Sylar and ready for him to be gone. I think if I were Mo-Mo I'd risk dropping a block of concrete on his head on my way out the door. I was rewinding to Sylar's painting to see if there were any differences besides the garish and demonic "version." Couldn't tell much, plus there was a corner (where he was working on the canvas) that was blocked by his body. I'm a bit disturbed by the Hiro to Hiro meeting. That kind of paradox is either explored carefully in good SF or dealt with as impossible. The action and character material is so great I don't want to have to make excuses for bad plotting too. There's a helluva lot of ways to go crazy with AU senarios and multiple timelines. Ando's right. Confused we shall be if the writers aren't careful. Loved the comment when Isaac made it a condition to the messenger that he couldn't give out spoilers. ;D
