I am probably the only one, but I like the storyline with her and the boy. I like the idea of her getting to know someone like her. I wish though that it had been better established why he was suspicious of her having powers before he confirmed it. It would have been cooler if they had gotten to know each other and have them slowly discover this secret about each other. It seems a little rushed.

That's the first thing that went through my mind.
Well, besides "OUCH!"

I liked the toe thing with Claire, although I probably would have started out my experimentation a bit lighter, like gently scrubbing the bottom of my feet with a pumice stone to see if a callus would come back. (Yes, I'm aware that callus regeneration isn't exactly good TV.)

Yikes, heroes is down 3 million from last week.
Anyways, I agree with everyone about the girl with the 'black oil' and her twin brother. Also does anyone believe that the swordsmith daughter actually believes the white guy was the one that rescued her?

I still think it's doing great, I remember not being very pleased with the first 2 episodes of the first season, and in-fact I downright hated it, and spoke poorly of it to everyone I knew. It was only when it was on DVD/HD-DVD and the hype started growing when I gave it another chance, and I'm glad I did.

Random Thoughts:
- The blunder twins are getting on my nerves. I hope they both die very soon, but I doubt that's going to happen.
- I cheered when Claire's toe grew back. I think Mr. Muggles gains an ability after he eats Claire's pinkie toe.
- Peter is slowly becoming the badass that we saw in the graphic novel last year and it's becoming more natural to use his powers when he needs them. Niki's strength, Claire's regeneration, DL's morphing, and the shitload of abilites from Silar are really going to pay off.
- I think Nathan trimmed his beard, but he still looks effing ridiculous. His head is unnaturally oversized due to the beard.
- I KNEW Hiro was the Legendary hero, but the regeneration at the end was a total shocker. My guess is that Hiro now coaches the white guy into the role, then gets to finally leave.

Zuffy, who is Claude?
and my random thoughts and notes
*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?)

Edited to add: OK, they were speaking French in Haiti, but c'mon, that was this one ep.

Nope, me too. Drove me nuts, because if you were on the run from people trying to kill you and bad people with powers (Sylar), and you KNOW there are people out there who can hover and fly (her own dad), why would you not notice the dog looking up and look up yourself??

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.

It would've been funny if it didn't grow back and Claire had to chase Mr Muggles around to get it back so she could reattach it.
But since it grew back, what happened to the severed toe? Will she just leave it lying around under the sofa, or will it grow into a second Claire?

Two random thoughts:
Does anyone else think it's a little convenient that Mohinder and Claire's dad are just chatting away on cell phones about how they're going to take down the company? After Claire's dad got tricked by the shape shifter last season, you'd think he'd be more careful than to chat on the phone so brazenly.
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.
