Last weeks ep was a decent refresher course for the plot and the characters, let's hope this episode will get back into the meat of things. The whole "I'll just tie my hair back, wear a goatee and be rid of my glasses and assume Super Future Hiro persona" thing still bugs me a little, but I'm intruiged for this week.

That's not a goatee. It's a soul patch.

Hey jackhole you forgot the "/" in the second spoiler box! Now I've read a major plotpoint for the end of the season. I hate you!

I thought it was bad ass when he first appeared, and still think it's bad ass.

I *think* this was a joke, but I fixed the spoiler tag just in case.

Yeah I thought it was a joke too.

But my guess about the change of look is that he's a wanted man (super hero [hiro!] ) and he changed his look to not be id by the government (police),

Deteriorating eyesight and Lasik™ procedures are no joke, people!

I didn't catch all of last week's episode, so can someone please post what exactly Lindeman's plan is, and

Spoiler:
How it is similar to the Watchmen novels (which I have never read)?

Spoiler:
Basically, Lindermann used to be part of a kind of superhero group (like what I'm sure the current heroes will become), but they fell apart over differing ideals. So, he thinks that by blowing up New York, the tragedy can bring the world back together.

As far as the Watchmen, they are a bunch of retired superheroes (like Lindermann and whosuch). One of them decides to release some psychic shockwaves into the city and cause some mayhem, which will bring the world together.

Just a quick question:

Never watched the show (waiting for DVDs to catch up). How much of an X-Men clone is the show? This episode synopsis sounds directly lifted from the comics.

Basically the Pres. suggested that since the Prof. hasn't had much success at all reversing the effects of this "special" DNA, that they think about plan B - killing them all off. Soresh knows the Petrelli is one of them, but Petrelli said since he can "only" fly, he's not much of a threat. Then Soresh left for NYC.
