Except that "bad Claire" would probably actually act like "bad Claire" instead of just having the good Claire keep saying she's bad, because Hayden can actually act.

Has anyone mentioned Pa Petrelli as the boogyman? Seems obvious to me. In season one, one of the first references that I remember of Pa Petrelli is that he had a falling out with someone for some reason. Then he's never mentioned afterwards.
Seems too good a seed to plant and not use later on. If they use it another way, kudos to the writers for the patience and investment across multiple seasons.
Of course, I could be misremembering things as I watched season one a long time ago.

Claire's toe can't grow into a full Claire, bad or otherwise - it doesn't have her brain. Apparently the only way to kill her is to detach her brain from her body, but I'm not sure how that works now unless you destroy the brain itself since it could, in theory, regrow her whole body around itself.

Also, I'm really not looking forward to having Sylar back. He was a good villain for the first season, but I was so glad to see him die. My least favorite thing about comic books is when they bring people back from the dead, and here they're doing it with a character who's too powerful to actually be interesting. Hopefully they strip him of most of his stolen abilities or something.

If Hiro's Dad used it for his company, it must not be new, but now the boogeyman is using it to "mark" his victims? He HAS to be the one the little girl is so scared of.
You saw him use a pass-through power to get through the ropes, and you saw him have a super-strength he hadn't previously had. I thought those were BOTH plot advancements: he was only around Nikki and her hubby for a few minutes before he exploded, and that was FOUR MONTHS prior. It really seemed like his ability to absorb other powers was much stronger this ep.

BTW, anyone notice in last years "Six Months Later," Sylar's watchmaker shop is
"Gray and Sons?" This could be because it's the old family business, or Sylar could have a brother we haven't seen.

It gives the writers the chance to have a super character who's an ultimate badass for a short period of time. When it becomes too much, he gets hims memory back, and a power downgrade. Then again, I thought it would have been cool if Isaac wasn't actually seeing the future and painting it, but seeing a version of the future and making it happen by painting it. At somepoint, someone will go back to Isaac's loft and in the junk find a couple of paintings of Isaac's body regenerating and walking away after Sylar killing him, only to turn around and find an evil Isaac smiling at them.

I had that thought as well, but the online comics have shown that Linderman was a young man during the vietnam war, where he served with Pa Petrelli.

Better than last weeks but I am another one who things that the pacing and writing are a bit off from last season. Could this be because Bryan Fuller is not involved? How much did he really have to do with the storylines last year?

*Krieg has said Claire's mother will be back for season 2.
*Did the invisible man actually die?
*Is "the company" related to Linderman/Hiro's dad/Ma Petrelli?
*The older generation "mutants" vs humans (the company?)
(thus possibly the reason the older generation wanted the explosion to happen in NY?)

I liked that story last year plus Ali Larter is great eye candy.
I liked tonights epsode, not great but was pretty good. The voices were way off when I watched it on TV though, started normal but by the end it was like watching a poorly dubbed godzilla flick.
