Speaking of Lindey and the OWI, one line that really stood out to me this episode was from Simone, and she says that Linderman buys all of Isaac's paintings. That threw up the red-flags for me, and I'm assuming at this point Lindey knows about Isaac's power, though I have no clue how. Also, it's convenient he holds the sword too, if it does indeed focus powers and isn't just Hiro making that up.

The symbol on the sword matches Jessica's tattoo and the HG's amulet. Either the sword is a real focus of some kind or it's an elaborate Linderman trap, I'd think.
I think the Mind reading Cop was given the same tattoo during his abduction.

I actually think Ali Larter does a pretty good job. In fact, I like all of the actors involved in the story. The biggest problem with that story (IMO, of course) is that they're barely tied into the overall arc right now, so that story takes up time in an already dense show that could be better used to flesh out some of the people that are involved. It's more evident now, since the heroes are starting to come together, and her/DL/Micah are on the periphery.
The good news is that I've actually heard this acknowledged by the writers (sorry, no link off the top of my head), so hopefully by the end of the season they should be more in the fold. After all, they do have to make it to NYC.
This was actually a problem I had with Matt's storyline in the beginning of the show, but that was ameliorated in a number of ways. For one, Clea DuVall and Greg Grunberg rock. More importantly though, they were our link to Sylar, and it was in their storyline he was first revealed. Also, Matt was given a pretty big reason early on to be invested - not just Sylar, but the kidnapping as well.
The reason this doesn't work for the Sanders family is for two reasons. They are our primary link to Linderman (IMO, with Simone), but since he's being kept so shadowy, that really doesn't help them at all. Also, while they are invested in him, he's not a direct threat - in fact, he's been extremely benficial so far to everyone aside from Nikki and DL. The reason they get his ire? They tried to rob him, and killed a bunch of his goons. It's not undeserved in the least, in direct contrast to Matt, and so it's harder to sympathize.
Spoilery speculation based on above:
The next person to die has to be Simone, to preserve Nikki and DL as the primary link to Linderman, so they can be brought into the fold.
Anyway, when I say they need to cut Nikki's scenes, it's not because they're bad, it's because they're disrupting the flow. I liken them to the storyline in season one of BSG with Helo on Caprica... it eventually pays off, but until they do they tend to cut up the show in a distracting way.

He got the two pin-pricks on his neck, not the half-helix. So did Ted Sprague, which is how he and Matt connected. It's touched on in the latest comic, which I know you don't read, but the critical stuff will be in the episode next week (I hope!).
