I think it was the Elle addition, she gives a good jolt to any plotline she's involved in.Alzrius said:Holy crap, this episode rocked on toast! How good was it? It was so good that even West actually seemed cool!
The thing with using Claire's blood to bring Bennett back was obvious, I admit, but I had a true moment of fear there, both before I figured that out, and in thinking that maybe that wouldn't be what they did (or it wouldn't work).
I figured Claire might figure it out and save her dad, but I guess that'd be too heroic...
They matched the painting well, but of course, as I've mentioned before, Isaac's paintings ARE fallible, so the constant "it can't be changed" attitude this season was bleh. For a moment I thought they might actually let him die, just like for a moment I thought Bob was giving Claire the virus rather than draining blood. (Followed by the virus mutating in her and wiping out civilization...)Even so though...best death scene in the show thus far. The bullet time way he was shot, slowly falling over, and then the image that was shown in the painting...perfectly done.
Now I'm left wondering why the Company didn't go to the Bennet house and take Claire afterwards.
I have to say, HRG is proving to be the best character on the show thus far. He's like Batman, showing that you don't need powers to be able to go toe-to-toe with people who have them; you just need to be smarter.
Smart enough not to trust Mohinder at least. Sure, Bennet can shoot Elle in the arm, but dumb@$$ Mohinder has to aim for the eye.
As for regeneration from death, it still irks me somewhat, but oh well. No one is ever dead in a comic anyway. (Sure coulda used Haitian tonight though...)
Also, when said about Adam "regeneration after a time <something something> old age" were they saying that his ultimate threat is because he's immune to aging? Did the Company really lock the guy up for not aging?
