Speaking of, who is the chick behind Sylar?

One more question, when did Peter get electricity?

Hiro getting smacked with a shovel.

Pa Petrelli taking Adam's power = all kinds of badass and awesomeness.

I'm liking the main story with Pa Petrelli but not so much the Villain hunting side story of Claire and the "Suresh takes on The Fly" side story. Though I do see some potential for the villain hunt.

Always liked Peter, but not so much power hungry Peter so seeing him brought down hard was fun.

And we all knew Ando was going to live but it was fun seeing how they carried it out.

An awesome episode; really enjoyed the Hiro and Parkman stuff but boy are the Claire and Mohinder storylines terrible.

Ok, that episode was pretty sweet.

I wonder if Sylar/Peter's "hunger" is sort of like Maya/Alejandro's respective abilities. At any given time, one of them has it while the other is freed of it. Also, maybe Pa Patrelli has "the hunger" now, unless he's able to pick and choose what abilities to steal from people (since Peter didn't die, I'd assume he didn't steal everything from him).

I dunno. I'm just thinking out loud.

I find it interesting that Peter, Sylar and Pa Petrelli all have similar powers. I wonder if Peter can acquire his dad's power and turn the tables on him.

This episode was actually pretty good. I can only hope the rest of the season will be like this.

-Mohinder was pretty stupid grabbing not-Nikki's hand after seeing her use her power.
-Peter finally used his invisibility. About time!
-I hope they keep Robert Forster as a big bad. He makes a good villain.

I don't think Mr Petrelli can kill people by stealing their powers, I think that was just a side effect of Adam's ability to be immortal from his powers. Most people don't make it to 400 years old normally.

Peter attacked her in his hunger.

I noticed Claire hit the guy with a gun but the gun was in her mother's hand. Or did she hit him with something else?

Maybe FatTony was assuming the healing wasn't taken since Peter's body stayed healed after his abilities were taken by his Father?

Perhaps in the Heroes universe once the body is healed the healing powers are done until needed later. In other words, the healing doesn't keep the body patched up like bandages as shown in the X-Films when Wolverine had his mutant healing taken by Rogue. Once they started leaving Logan, his wounds opened up again.

I don't recall what it was but maybe whatever she hit him with was the empty Tazer she had earlier and not the handgun her mother had. But then again I assumed it was some heavy object laying near her when she got that cap popped in her.

That's how I took it as well. Pa P. took his power which meant his age caught up with him instantaneously.

I like the Pa Patrelli story line (good villain)

I hate the My 2 Moms & Claire super hero story line - let's leave that to HRG.

What is up with the fire mom and all the makeup she wears?? drives me nuts

Shes white trash. That much makeup is a requirement.

Now that HRG wants her by his side maybe we'll get to see her light up some baddies and not just cigs.

When "Electro girl" (K. Bell) had him in lock down last season. Even when she was flirting with him and using her power he wasn't affected.

I realized that as I headed to bed last night. I was just having a brain fart. I just couldn't recall them spending any screen time together. Then again, that's a testament to how forgettable last season was.

Parkman's dad put her in the coma to keep her from using her future seeing powers as per Pa Patrelli's instructions.

Claire hit the puppet master guy with a piece of the broken chair.

That always bugged the crap out of me. Healed is healed! Wounds wouldn't open up again like that even if you did mess with his abilities. STUPID

I enjoyed this episode much better than last week. Maybe this season is finally getting its focus.

In the wall painting of the villians, who was in the top right? IIRC the other three were (clockwise): Father Petrelli, Unknown, Fire Guy from Sleeper Cell, and Knox.

I more or less liked this one, but the last part of the effect of Adam crumbling looked horrible in HD, way too CG.
