[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 4507084, member: 115"] I didn't comment on last week's thread (blah busy weeks!) but to frame my thoughts this week: I thought last week was a disjointed mess of awesome scenes, with a little too much character dumbness. This week was much better. I think the biggest part was not including Matt's story. Also, Mohinder/Maya got the barest amount of scenes necessary to pay off Nathan's line about him being trustworthy. That freed up a lot of room for other stories, and it showed. My favorite moment, by far, was Daphne and Ando simultaneously saying, "Kill Ando?" I loved Hiro and Adam's interplay a lot more than Hiro/Daphne. Likewise, I liked Ando and Daphne's interplay in the previous episodes more than I liked Ando/Adam in this one. To me at least, it was perfect. That said, I think it would have also been badass to stop time and cut on Knox a bit, but whatever. Nathan and Tracy ripping on Ma Patrelli was great as well. You can tell Nathan has had enough of the Company way back in the second season. He's an easy hire for Parkhurst (right name?). I think it's clear to see it will be Peter siding with Angela and Nathan with Arthur. I liked that Claire tried to be like HRG, only to be a lot more compassionate. The HRG/Sylar/Claire dynamic was good as well. Finally, I liked that Claire was aghast at HRG being so ruthless, completely opposite to how she was with Black Hole Guy. Even when it was Sylar, Claire couldn't stomach blatant murder. I completely called Black Hole Guy killing himself. I also was pretty sure that Linderman was Maury; when Daphne figured out he wasn't real, I knew it for sure. Of course, the reveal was right afterward. My friend, who I would consider a casual viewer, said something interesting - he was completely confused by this episode. He didn't know it was Maury, or Arthur, or what was going on. He said that it's really hard for people to get into it casually, because of this. Also, he specifically called out that there were too many characters. I can't say I disagree with this. Off Topic thought: The new Ben Folds, Way To Normal, rocks... especially Bitch Went Nuts, which is hilarious. [/QUOTE]
