The part attached to the brain regrows. Otherwise that toe last week would have formed a new Claire.
Now wouldn't that be nifty.

This show got shitty. Last night was boring as hell.
Are they still recapping things for people?
Sylar's not dead. The Patrelli's didn't die. WTF was the point of 20 episodes last season?

It was bound to happen when the show got popular, they rewrite it to let it drag. It's like prison break, I stopped watching that after the second season I believe, because they still hadn't gotten out of that damn prison and it was getting pretty lame because of it.

They're back in prison again. Apparently everyone else watching couldn't stand the manhunt angle.

Last night's episode was a bit of a drag. The Kensei parts were a bit too rushed, and Sylar is a fucking idiot. Let Candace get you better, then cut her head open. DUH. I did dig the flying bits, though.
And yes, the Company knows that Mohinder has Molly.

Sylar's your classic "scorpion" character who will fuck people over even when it's not in his best interests to do so. I'm a bit bummed that Candace is dead, even if she was a bitch.

Candace wins the award for biggest dumbass on the show. I know if I'm the one with the illusion powers and I'm out in the middle of nowhere with a psychotic killer, I project an image of myself over there while the real me stands invisibly over here. Moron.
On the other hand, I thought it made perfect sense that Sylar would kill her as soon as he could, especially when he found out he can't use any of the other powers he's accumulated. His entire sense of self revolves around his powers. They're what make him 'special'. To him, losing those powers is akin to being emasculated. Feeling completely vulnerable, of course he'd try to make a grab at Candace's powers the first chance he got. I actually find Sylar one of the more interesting characters on the show.
Overall this was one of the weaker episodes, though. But it took a while before things started moving last season too, so I'm not worried yet.

If they just ditched the Maya and Alejandro segments, the pacing would be much improved.

I think they'll be involved in one of the larger arcs this season. Feels like they're setting them up like they set us up the bomb last season. And/Or they're showing us the birth of a villian based on her murder of those peeps.

I don't think those cops died. I'm pretty sure I heard some groaning from their direction when her brother did his thing. I don't think she has much control. From what I've gathered so far if her brother isn't in the immediate area she can't stop herself from going off.

Her brother undid it for the cops too. While I'm mildly interested in what their powers can do, I'm overall rather unexcited about them so far. I'd much rather have a big chunk of their time devoted to someone else. Anyone else. Their parts just drag way too much.

They are the new Wonder Twins. It'll be interesting to see what the full extent of his powers are.

I figure as much, but every segment with them so far has played out the same. She cries about being unable to control her powers. He reminds her of his promise to get them across the border to a doctor that can cure her. They get separated, and she either kills people or comes close to it. They reunite, she cries some more and he reminds her of his promise to get them across the border to a doctor that can cure her. Oh, and this last episode we got the added bonus that he's dumb enough to try to steal a car, out in the open in broad daylight, and with a cop nearby in plain sight. Plus he sucks at climbing fences.

I am still not sure that candice is really dead. Given what she knows about sylar and that killing her did not give him his powers back it could still easily be her fucking with him and trapping him in his own mind.

I was wondering the same thing too at the time. It would be much better writing if that were the case, but Candice's flaw seems to be vanity so I doubt she'd project such an unappealing corpse if the whole thing was faked.

I thought that too but then he is in a mysterious hut in the middle of nothing which just seemed a bit more like a mindtrap thing like maui than any real place. I just don't see candice slogging through the jungle toting a gravely injured man to take care of him.

They already gave away the ending of the season on the episode last week when the "curandera" told Maja there was enough poison in her to kill the devil. I think she'll be around plenty this season, but they really need to ditch the whole "get seperated from brother, kill a buncha people, get reunited and brother takes away the poison and everything is ok" thing they've done every-single-time so far. Sylar having escaped from right in front of everyone really bugged me at the end of last season, im glad they had a very good explanation for that. Thats one deadly fucking mug candice kept in her little shack.

This one is bugging me. I'm really buying the idea that someone suggested earlier - Kensai killed Sulu. I mean it all works: Kensai heals, so he could survive the fall, he's either immortal or Hiro brought him forward in time, and it all ties in to his Kanji showing up on all the muties. Heck, they could even have him be the source of the original mutation - though I don't think so.
I think he's the big tie in with the company. With the kanji showing up everywhere, it just makes sense.
Until you get to the attack on Momma Patrelli. No idea what that was, but it didn't seem to be anything that Kensai was capable of. Maybe Eccelston?

I've heard speculation that Nathan is involved, given that he encountered Ando not long before Sulu got his piece of the picture, and he was also around when his mother was attacked. Could be more than one person involved too I suppose. Would be nice to see a team-up of Nathan, Claude, and Kensai.

I'm kind of heading into the Kensei is the bad guy that Molly keeps seeing, and is the leader or the hitman for the Company.

The attack on Mrs. Patrelli seemed right out of a Nightmare on Elm Street, so I'm going to go ahead and say that whoever attacked her is the Boogie Man the little girl is afraid of.
I'm not convinced it's the same person who killed Sulu.
There's no way I buy Nathan as the bad guy.

I just can't see Nathan as the bad guy either. That was the whole thing about the end of last season: When it came down to it, Nathan made the choice to do the right thing, even though it was ultimately going to throw away what he had. And that's why he's so screwed up right now. He made the right choice, and lost everything beyond that as well, even Peter.
I do hope we don't drag out the Peter amnesia thing for the whole season.

Who ever attacked zulu couldnt be seen after the fall, who ever attacked mama petrelli couldnt be seen at all. My guess is invicible man.

Supposedly Hiro isn't going to come back from the past til after the 6th episode, I bet that's when they are going to start getting people back together a bit more. Hopefully it picks up some before the winter break.

I just can't get into this season as much. It seems flat.
Couple things: There's no way the Company doesn't know what Mohinder, Parkman, and HRG are up to. The kid that plays Claire's flying boyfriend looks alot like the kid that plays the young Clark Kent in Smallville.

I am surprised no one has mentioned Nichelle Nichols. At least I found it surprising. I hope they work in more of ghosts of Science Fiction's past.

They need to bring in Shatner to play someone now. Maybe he could be like Parkman's Dad or something.

They should give him the same power as Parkman too. Shatner would be funny as hell playing that.
