Maybe someone has brought this up before in this thread and I missed it, but it just occurred to me.
If Claire's family wasn't able to have any children when they adopted Claire, where did her brother come from? Fertility clinic or another super human that hasn't found his abilities?

Couples that have trouble concieving children start having kids after an adoption. That happened to a friend of mine. After he was adopted, his parents gave birth to 3 kids afterwards.
Last night's episode was interesting. I guess Mr. Bennet isn't really the bad guy. More of a misunderstood anti-hero.

Finally!!! What an awesome episode, much better than the last two. So much explained and more questions aroused.
So is Thompson the top of OWI or is there another head above him? I get the feeling that an organization like that has a higher layer that never hits the field, more of a behind closed doors thing. Still, it was kind of dumb for him to shoot at Ted, because if he was paying attention at all he should have known what Ted can do. The back story was phenomenal. I love the scene on the rooftop of the Deveaux building when Hiro's father was giving Claire to HRG. And what's up with everyone speaking Japanese, it makes me think Mr. Nakamura is the guy at the top or at the very least, very high up. I thought there was going to be more behind how HRG got his glasses. Loved the bridge scenes, nicely done. Beautiful and very symbolic. I was really itching to see Hannah though. We do know that she wanted to go after the higher ups but I wanted to follow that story. Plus, I thought it would have been good if she was at the Bennett house and PrimaTech cause then she could have intercepted a lot of the communications and gotten some answers for our trio. Lyle is also adopted by the way. Besides, the Bennetts didn't adopt Claire by choice, HRG was ordered to, although there does seem to be some discrepancy as to the motive. In the episode, it appears HRG is quite uncomfortable with the notion of adopting or caring for Claire, but is ordered to do so by Mr. Nakumura. But in the graphic novel, HRG appears to have softened and vows to take care of Claire. Man, what is up with Simone coming back from the dead? Please don't let that happen, that would be so lame. I think she sucked so I was happy when they offed her. The more I think about it, the more I think Mr. Deveaux may have been an empath. And Peter "absorbed" his power. There is something very significant about the building (the rooftop), Deveaux, Claude, and Peter that is all tied together. Maybe even Simone a little too but she was supposed to have died. I wonder who the other "new" partner is. This Candice. She kind of looks like Hannah but I'm curious to see what her ability is. Will Parkman end up working for OWI or will he refuse? Anyways, finally, a great episode. Can't wait til next week. |

Just finished watching today's episode.
I have to say that I really enjoyed this one. But at the same time, makes you start to wonder... who DOESN'T know something about the heroes? Seems that outsiders know more than the actual heroes ![]()

In tonight's episode, at least Hiro's day went well. This series has been a real downer lately.

I agree, and one of the biggest downers are these breaks. I mean the show rocked the first episodes. Since the first break, they haven't been nearly as good, and now we have to wait another 7 weeks?
I was so excited for Hiro to get his sword, and because he gets it dissappears and I have to wait 7 weeks I was kind of like eh, whatever. And please, Claire's dad is supposed to be pretty smart right. He couldn't figure out the possibility that it might not be his wife he's really talking to? Painfull... I'm thoroughly depressed, I was so in to this show earlier this season, but the disappointments have been piling up lately. |

I'm still a huge fan of this show! I, too, hate the breaks - but every show has them. At least by the time May Sweeps rolls around, we should be seeing the very best the show has to offer. And, hopefully, some big questions will get answered. It looks like Nathan & Peter's mother definitely knows more than she led on. Exactly how much does she know?

Can anyone translate what the Haitian and Claire's grandma (Mrs. Petrelli) were saying to each other?
I took French in high school, but that is longer ago then I wish to admit.

Tonight's episode was GREAT. Or it could be that the withdrawl I was suffering from the lack of Heroes has ended.
They're putting shape shifter girl to a lot of use. I wish they'd say something about her. And i'm really curious about how isaac teaches the others how to kill sylar.

fantastic episode! I really like the actor playing Linderman, and I still dislike Nikki/Jessica and Micah. Their story just bugs the hell out of me. I can't wait for next week, the future they don't want to happen.

I wonder what Mama Petrelli's power is.
Also, who doesn't remove a big-ass glass shard from a seemingly dead guy, to show a little bit of respect for the dead? Weren't they curious how he died?

Interesting how her and Linderman and popping up with powers. I wonder what Linderman needs Micah for, at first I was thinking to fix the computer with the 'list' on it but I don't think so now as he seems to already know about most of them. Hard to believe this season is almost over and next season is a whole 'nother storyline with new characters (which is both really cool and kind of sucks). |

You know, I think Issac can fight the future, he's just in denial about it. I mean, he could have simply, not been home, the night that Sylar would come by to kill him
![]() And there was a golden oppertunity to put a bullet in Sylar's brain this episode, and they didn't take it. ARG!

Probably, after trying to shoot Sylar and see him stop the bullet and then having him cut you up and stick you to the ceiling for an undetermined amount of time, Mohinder was just scared and ready to run for his life.
Maybe Sylars out for a minute, maybe an hour, but do you really want to chance the time to pick up the gun and shoot him?

I'm not into the series as much as I was before the break. The episode wasn't up to par with the rest of them. I find myself more interested in lost again. I heard the ratings are down a bunch also. The moral of the story is that the networks need to stop placing insanely long breaks in the middle of the seasons. Just make enough episodes to cover the whole season!

i hear you.. What's up withthat anyways? a season should be: sept to may. end of story. Re-runs during summer. No breaks for anything special and no repeats during the season.
don't tell me that it's too expensive. It's the cost of doing business. At this point I just want to borrow the series on DVD after it has completed. |

Hey, did you guys notice that Syler used Prosuader Girl's power on Isaac in his apartment shortly before crusifying him to the floor?

He didn't, and he couldn't have-- Eden shot herself so he wouldn't get her power. That was just a nifty "ooh, look how evil I am" effect. Otherwise he could have commanded Mohinder to let him go, etc.

No, he does do the voice. I believe that Syler found what he needed from what was left of Eden's brain. Isaac couldn't show Sylar "The Plan" because he doesn't have it. And getting "brushed" to the floor broke the suggestion. Besides, the show has plenty of otherwise this, and why didn't they do that.

um, Spoiler: this episode foreshadowed Sylar's death (in the present). Since Claire was saved, Hiro can do what future Hiro did but failed. And it was a totally awesome episode! Future Hiro and Peter were great. Parkman being a bad guy was pretty neato.
