Heroes 2/26...Follow

Outstanding episode with a lot of information revealed and some interesting plot twists. I really liked how they stayed focused on just one story thread this week - sometimes all the jumping around gets a little annoying...unless, well, there are 2 or 3 really interesting threads going on.

Nice to see Eric Roberts on the show now. Also glad there was more screen time for George Takei.

Looks like they'll be introducing Linderman next week.

I just got caught up on three weeks worth of episodes. I'm really happy with the directions the story is taking. Jess/Niki's story is actually starting to hold my interest.

It's nice to see that Claire is starting to have some balancing, her storyline was just sad, watching her go from normal teenage girl into learning about all these betrayals by her dad, and finding that her biological parents are kinda jerks. Now, she's starting to come into her "heroness" and starting to take her destiny into her hands, it's good to see the upswing on her story.

The thing that kind of bothers me though, is that Peter is starting to turn into an *******. Granted, knowing you're going to be the cause of the destruction of NY is a bit of a bummer, but it just seems to have come up very suddenly.

Anyone have any theories on Simone? In the previews for next week, she's standing and talking after being shot. What do you think? She has an invincibility type power? She's not really Simone, but another hero with shapeshifting abilities? I don't know what to think, but I can't wait to find out.

I loved the back story of Claire's father doing what he does. Can't wait to get more details next week.

I think Linderman will have a power... but what will it be?

I was kind of surprised by the ending. Didn't think HRG would ever want to forget his daughter. But I think I missed something - is Claire going into hiding with the Haitian now?

Doesn't Claire live in TX? How is she going to make it from there to NYC in time to save Simone? I'm going to go with Simone has some sort of invincibility power.

Edit: Nevermind, read that wrong, Peter using Claire's power to heal Simone does seem plausible, but in the short bit in the preview, Simone seemed a little cocky, like she'd healed herself, or she's not really Simone.

Nadenu, There wasn't really much explanation on that part, but I think, yes, Claire and the Haitian are going into hiding. That is why he had to shoot Claire's father and remove his memory, to make it look like Claire and the Haitian got away.

Peter now has claire's power to heal, he will it use on Simone, or at least that is my guess.

I do not think the father was made to forget the daughter, just anything that will help "The Company" find her. The haitian and the Father probably made a plan on where claire and the haitian should go, maybe some fake ID, money ect. and the father was made to forget that plus anything else he did that could get him killed by the "The Company" if he was made to talk. Though I bet claire will want to go to NYC and talk to Peter Petrelli, who it turns out is her Uncle, though she and he do not know that yet.

All I know is I'm ready for next Monday already, haha

I am am not loving that little mini plot twist of her getting shot but not dieing, just like I did not like whatshername getting out of jail scot free. However it is TV, and we can't expect every plot twist and nuance to be perfectly thought out, after all this is not Carnivale.

If Simone were to die, I belive Isaac would be dead too because Peter would kill him, hes been way too stressed out recently and he would snap.

I hope not, I am not done with it yet.

I just wonder what they're going to do once the bomb does go off. I mean surely this can't be just a one-season deal. And if it is, I'ma kill me some NBC execs.

I'm still maintaining that Linderman is Bennet's boss. Remember, the character we've seen hasn't been given a name yet. Recall how they said in an earlier preview that we would meet Claire's real dad, but they didn't show a face. It ended up being Nathan. I think it's gonna be the same thing here.

What happened to the girl that Matt and Ted were associated with? What's her deal?

Also, if you recall, Simone said to Issac, "You don't paint the future. You create it." It just sounded like she was trying to re-assure Issac, like usual. Judging by the preview, she knows a lot more than we've been shown thus far. I can't help but think that there's some truth to what she said. (But if that's the case, Peter also inherited this power...)

The bomb is going to go off. Issac painted it, Hiro saw it. Nothing that somebody has seen in the future in one form or another has been stopped. It ain't gonna happen in this case. Issac is gonna die. (apparently thanks to Sylar, judging by how he was killed) At the very least, Peter and Hiro will survive the blast. ("You look different without the scar")

There is something I am still wondering, though. We have yet to find out how saving "the cheerleader" (nobody said it was Claire) will "save the world". I don't think Claire / Sylar / anyone else with healing would be able to survive being asploded, torn to bits, or even so much as having their brain chopped up. Would Claire have died if Sylar did his usual routine of power-stealing? If so, Sylar would die from something similar, thus not dooming "the world". And besides, if Sylar did get the power, and Claire does not get killed in the process, it wouldn't exactly be world-threatning. Nah, I think the true meaning of those words is something much, much more immense.

Just a few crackpot theories for you. :P
