Heroes Season 1(#16)---2/19/07-'UNEXPECTED'

Her adoptive father, not her biological father. It's pretty obvious in the previews, IMO. She's talking about protecting the family from him.

That's what I meant, sorry if it didn't come across that way.

Just thought I'd chime in and say AWESOME episode! I hope Claude isn't gone for good though. Peter was great in this episode, and Claire ripping into her dad was great as well.

How many more shows this season? Someone told me there are only a couple more.

Six more, if this is #16. I expect one or two more new ones, and then a six-week hiatus until May sweeps.

So, will Claire-Bear join up with the B-Team?

I was screaming at Mohinder like I was watching a horror movie and he was about to enter the creepy house! With Sylar having the headaches from stealing Super-Hearing Woman's powers, and Mohinder's realization that Sylar is dogging his footsteps . . . like, Duh! But then again, I know plenty of folks in the real world who miss obvious clues all the time (like me, for instance).

And, let us be fair - when you hear hoofbeats, you think of horses, not zebras. How many times has someone you're with had a headache and you thought, "Oh, no! He must have killed someone with a superpower last night, and that is causing it!"

We ought to remember that we have a whole lot more information than Mohinder does. Calling him dumb for not seeing what the writers have explicitly shown us isn't really fair. Heck, I'm not even sure Mohinder knows Sylar has the ability to steal powers - to Mohnder, Sylar may just be a serial killer. He'd have no reason to think about how the guy in the next seat may have stolen a power.

For one, it seems Peter absorbed Sylar's powers, though it does seem he needs to know about them. Of course, if Sylar can only use one power at a time, perhaps Peter only got telekinesis.

This one is tough - the guys working for HRG said they only found genetic changes in Sylar consistent with the TK, right?

I still think Ando is a Hero. And Hiro telling him to leave may lead up to what triggers it. Hiro is the one that manifested powers. He's the one that has been the driving force of their adventures. But now Ando has a choice, her can either go home, or he can choose to be a hero, and I believe a Hero he will become, though, if that is not in the cards, he can still be a hero.

I don't think he needs to know about the powers. He used the TK to stop Claude before he made the connection to Sylar in the lockerroom

Sure it is. The woman said she was having really bad headaches, then Sylar starts having bad headaches, and oh yeah, her brain had been removed. Granted he might not have all the pieces put together but I think Sylar has made enough missteps around Mohinder that he starts putting the pieces together.

Other than that, it was a great episode. I'm glad to see Claire's father get his, by both Claire and possibly next week. It was awesome to see Claire stand up to her father - great performance too.

The Peter/Claude scenes and interaction have been some of the best in the show. I really hope Claude sticks around. It also sounds like he has a cool backstory too.

Well, yes, having your brain removed would probably give you a headache

But think:
1) She made a passing comment about getting headaches in the past, and that she had found a solution.

2) Mohinder does not know Sylar gets powers.
2a) Sylar in the car does not show any signs of having the hearing powers to Mohinder. He just has a headache.

3) Headaches are probably the #1 ailment of modern Americans. I had one just yesterday, and I hadn't eaten anyone's brain, or gained any superpowers

So, I don't see how Mohinder could be expected to put things together. He's missing the crucial element that Sylar gets powers from the brains. Without that, there should be no reason to make any connection at all.

I actually have to go back on my statement, but not just because of this, also from something I read on the TWOP forums. Before Peter even knew Claude's power, Peter turned invisible. Same with Claire in Homecoming. So Peter does not need to consciously be aware someone has a power to absorb it, nor to use it. Being aware probably gives him control over them though.

Six more, if this is #16. I expect one or two more new ones, and then a six-week hiatus until May sweeps.

Two more new - one on the 26th, one on March 5th. After that, I'd have to do some research, but the six-week hiatus sounds about right.
