Off topic to the episode, but in the picture there, who's that in the middle doorway with HRG and Hiro? It looks like the first season cast, and the only one I can't place is Tawny Cypress, but it doesn't really look like her to me.

If you squint it looks like her. It's not the best portrayal though, and I'm not sure why she's at the door. It's like they couldn't figure out where to put HRG, Hiro, and Simone. Good picture though, what's it from TS?

So, we've moved on from Watchmen to The Stand?

Man, I hate West more and more with each passing episode. I don't really care if Claire becomes a cheerleader again or not... it's just not interesting.

The Honduran Snooze Twins continue to live up to their name, despite Sylar's best intentions.

The rest of the episode was pretty good though. I definitely think Suresh and Niki was set up on purpose, by HRG.

Didn't care for Claire/Flyboy, didn't like Sylar/Wonder Twins, Bennett's stuff was so-so, Peters was too short to judge. Hiro's stuff was okay, but it looks like he's locked into repetitiveness just like first season. (Looks like we might constantly see him breaking & fixing the Kensei timeline.)

I sort of think it's Mohinder & Jessica, but would prefer if it was Nikki, since I don't look forward to more repetition of the "Nikki finding strength" plotline. I was sort of hoping they'd hire Monica to be Mohinders partner.

Did Linderman not tell the Company about Micah perhaps? Or maybe they just don't care, like with Molly staying with Mohinder & Parkman.

The Catastrophe to thwart was a bit underwhelming for me, but we'll see how it plays out next week.

It was pretty cool seeing HRG showing off his evil side again; it makes him a much more interesting character. He's the anti-hero of Heroes.

I was actually a bit surprised that not only did he find all the other paintings, but that Peter and Caitlyn got to Montreal so fast. Because of the Honduran twins are taking their time getting anywhere, I guess I was expecting the show to progress along at a similar frustratingly slow pace.

And Hiro, from now on RESPECT the space/time continuum!

So... when Kensai caught up with Hiro and the daughter... wow... that was pretty quick. They were all in the middle of the camp, and then Hiro teleported him and her out. It wasn't much longer before the kiss, yet Kensai got there in time to see.

Unless of course, Hiro's teleport also delayed their reappearance for a while.

Probably not a big deal, but it did catch my eye.

(Looks like we might constantly see him breaking & fixing the Kensei timeline.)

I think that would be awesome - Hiro tried to change the timeline, and is forever condemned to having to fix it. It's a very dark ending for Hiro, which contrasts nicely with his optimistic nature. In fact, I'm all for that being how Hiro turns into Future Hiro, and not simply Ando's death.

My friend asked me why The Company didn't recruit Monica to be Mohinder's partner, considering her ability. Vastly more useful than super strength, I think.

I was thinking about comments that were made last year, where the initial idea was to have a different group of heroes each year. I'm beginning to think Claire was one of those people were weren't going to see again, given how banal and unmoving her storyline is.

Fair 'nuff. I couldn't really get a good look at her.

 

[Ed_Laprade]

I'm convinced that its Jessica, not Nikki, due entirely to Ali's acting. Agree with what has been said so far.

BUT... C'mon, Mr. Bennent tossing stuff around with his bare hands? Surely the company has his fingerprints, if no one else does.

Gack! I almost liked Bob at the end there. And I know he can't be trusted!

 

[Brown Jenkin]

Honduran Snooze Twins/Sylar: Thank you whoever coined the name. It would have been nice if the yahoos on the border had shot everyone in the car so we wouldn't have to deal with them anymore. But then Peter wouldn't have an epidemic future to teleport too.

Peter: I'm begnning to wonder if his girlfriend isn't a plant. I like amnesia Peter better than Emo Peter. Since he was on the Plaza with Parkman shouldn't he have mind reading as well.

Shuresh/Nikki/Jessica: Still around for his blood. Has morals but is really screwed and he knows it. Please take Molly and run. Plus why is Bob trusting Nikki/Jessica after she tried to kill him and break out.

Hiro: I love Hiro but I am getting anoyed that they are leaving him in the past. As much as I enjoy the stoyline it seems to have zero to due with the main plot. I am beginning to wonder if Hiro wasn't supposed to go with the cast change but then was too popular to get rid of so they wrote the trapped in the past stoyline to keep him out of the way.

Monica: She seems resolved. I am wondering where they are going with her.

Claire/Stalker Boy: I liked the trick but I would be willing to get rid of her to make the nightmare that is stalker boy go away.

HRG/Haitain: Fun in Russia. Good to know the Hatian can be more precice. As for HRG, way to go. Once more HRG shows just how ruthless he can be. I feel sorry for Matt and Suresh if he ever thinks that they betrayed him. Now if he can just find out about stalker boy and make him "dissapear".
