That I bothered to do so is a positive sign.As far as the above goes, we kinda have to take the pilot's word for it when he issues his mayday that the plane was indeed pressurized. We don't know that the plane was only in the air for a few moments, because we don't know how long Claire was hiding away (the passage of time is usually handled by cutting away to another scene, so in not doing that, it leads to the perhaps incorrect assumption that Claire immediately went from climbing into the plane to freeing everyone). I also don't feel like we get a good idea of how high up they were.It does seem like Peter's in the soup right after getting Tracy's powers, so the one-power-at-a-time theory seems to stand. It's good that they show us how the power works now rather than engage in exposition. And yes, Claire's annoying with her bratty, uninspired "I hate yous" and "you'll never get away with thisses" and the smothering from her two fathers and grandmother is annoying as well, like they can just ground her and she'll get over it all. And her power is totally selfish and reactive, adding little to the character. But Hiro acting like the absurd man-child protagonist from a Happy Madison movie still takes the prize for most irritating character by a mile. I honestly think the character became a lot less easy to relate to when he went from being the office drone escaping from a sea of cubicles to a rich, pampered heir to an empire who was just a tourist in a sea of cubicles. I think some new characters would do the show good, but they need to be on the periphary, not shoved right into the spotlight like the anthrax twins were. Maybe even a new young character so that Claire isn't the baby anymore.Not sure what to think about Sylar. I guess he'll want to track down his father. He's back in murder mode, and Peter won't be a match for him this time--in fact, we're kind of light on Heroes with effective offensive abilities, which is another reason to consider some new Heroes.</blockquote>
