We start out and we end up with Peter :D . The Irish chick goes with him to Montreal and it seems that she is going to become a regular part of the show, which is good because those 2 seem to go well together. And at the end when he finds the note from ‘Adam’ … I don’t remember who that is. Maybe it is someone we haven’t met yet. How did he get to the future? That isn’t a power I have seen him have before now.

Maya, Alejandro and Sylar have made it across the border, and Sylar thinks he is going to take their powers once he get his abilities back, but I don’t see how that is going to happen since those powers seem to be 2-parts.

HRG and the Haitian meet up with the Russian dude who apparently is HRG’s mentor. And at the end they find the paintings, several of which we haven’t seen before. But we don’t get to see too much more into that this week.

West and Claire devised a pretty good scheme to trick the snobbish chearleader into looking like a complete fool. I gotta admit, that was pretty good. I laughed at that one.

Mohinder and Niki team up… that should be interesting. And Bob kinda submits to Mohinder on what he wants to do with Monica and also with Molly. But I still think that Mohinder is in over his head with ‘The Company’ - I think he is going to regret taking Molly there in the next few episodes.

We don’t get to see Parkman, Nathan or Micah in this one, but they seem to be in the previews for next week. Overall, this episode was fairly uneventful but I think it was still a good episode.

Next Week:
We get to see previews of the future, similar to the future episode from last season. And of course “save the world” comes into play again. The next few episode should be quite interesting, all the way up until the end of the year. And then during sweeps in January I expect to see some really explosive stuff.

We don’t see Sylar, Claire or West in this one. And the time with Hiro in the past is pretty limited, which is fine with me. I am kinda getting tired of that story-line and ready for Hiro to come back and join the gang.

Peter is still in Cork and hanging out with whats-her-name. Sorry to see that her brother got fried on this episode, but we get to see Ellie and finally learn where Peter got his lightning powers from. He must have met her previously to this season. And it was cool to see Isaac Mendez’s powers come back to life and to see Peter paint something again. He is re-discovering what he can do. I can’t wait for him to turn invisible again.

Parkman and Nathan track down Parkman’s father and for a minute I thought maybe his dad was on the good side, but turns out that was wrong. That is a cool power he has, similar to the illusion girl that Sylar killed last week, but not exactly. And I am still waiting for Nathan to fly again, so far this season he hasn’t really done anything. Also I am curious about this melted-face version of himself that he keeps seeing. What does it mean? Why does he keep seeing himself this way? Guilt from his thinking that Peter is dead?

Micah and Monica learn about each other in New Orleans and Monica shows that she can mimic everything she sees, not just what is on TV. So I was right from last week, unlike some of the unsuspecting commenters on this blog >:0 - so again, it will be interesting to see about when she sees these other Heroes use their powers, if she can mimic them.

I think that Mohindar taking Molly to ‘The Company’ was a mistake. HRG didn’t like the idea and I think he is right.

I think this episode is contained some good action and started the story rolling a little faster than the last 4 have done.

Next Week:
Finally Peter is going to stop running! Maybe we will finally get to see him kick some more ass soon. And Sylar confronts Alejandro about his powers, that should be fun. HRG and the Haitian seem to get tanlged into something also, but I couldn’t tell what.

We don’t see Hiro or Peter in this episode. I want to catch up with Peter, but I didn’t miss the ancient Japan scenes in this episode.

Maya and Alejandro find Sylar in the desert and he gets to see their powers later. If he were to try and steal their powers, I don’t know how it would work since they have this yin/yang thing going on. Would Sylar get both the power to kill and the power to stop it?

The new hero chick in New Orleans working at the burger shop can see something and then do it. So logically, she could see powers from the other Heroes and replicate them.

West is going to find out about Claire’s father at some point in time and he is going to be mad. I’m not sure how long they can actually hide it from Bennett and I am not sure how long he can hide working with the Haitian. But it will be fun to watch unfold.

So we come to Parkman, Mohinder and Molly. I think the big spoiler of this episode is that Parkman’s father is Molly’s Nightmare Man. We finally find the photo of all the “original” Heroes, the 12 from Linderman and Nakamora and the Petrellis, and we find Bob in there, Parkman’s Father, some other chick and 2-3 other faces we have never seen. And I did not see it coming that Parkman’s father would be in that group. But I am glad to see him getting more entwined into the entire show. And I hope that Molly comes out of her coma, I am guessing that The Nightmare Man has her and Parkman will have to go rescue her.

Next Week:
We’ll get to see Peter again and hopefully he will get his memory back. And I am guessing that we’ll catch up with Hiro in the past. And they will have to show what comes next with Molly and Parkman’s father.

We start out with Peter again, that is always fun. I am still wanting to see where he goes and what he does. I am disappointed in that he decided not to open the box with his papers in it at the end of the show. I figure that someone will see him or find him somewhere and he will get pulled back into his regular life. And of course he isn’t a killer, which is what he is scared of. I think that the black guy that was with the, the one with the big scar on his face, is the new Hero “Blackie” who is 1000 years old. It’d be cool if he met up with Hiro somewhere in ancient Japan.

At the beginning of the show when the Illusion chick, Michelle in this episode, shows up I said that I wished someone who cut off her head. Guess what…. I called that one. :o I figured that Sylar would get her. And of course we all knew that Sylar wasn’t dead.

I was disappointed to find that DL died though. That’s a bummer. But Peter got his powers.

Maya and Alejandro. I still can’t figure out what is going on here. It is good to see that her powers can be used for something besides killing people. She could incapacitate an entire room or building as long as her brother is there to reverse the effect. That could be useful.

I am ready for Hiro to come back to the present. He seems to have finished his task in the past, but wants to stay. I guess I can’t blame him, if I could go back to ancient Japan, I probably would too.

West shows Claire that he can fly, cool. I’ll be interested to see if he becomes a main character. I could see that happening, although he and Nathan seem to have the same ability.

Isaac paints a photo of Horned-Rim DEAD??? We’ve had some people die, but not any highly key people so far. I kinda doubt this will happen, but I am anxious to see where it will go.

Next Week:
We might get a glimpse of Molly’s big fear, the “nightmare man” as she calls him in the preview. And Nathan SHAVES his beard! And they look for the person who is killing off the original Heroes, like Sulu and Mrs. Petrelli.

Finally we get some real face-time with Peter. Although he gets his butt kicked at first and it looks like he isn’t healing, he starts to heal later. So that is good. I was wondering if maybe he had to concentrate or something to heal, but I guess not. And it is good to see that he does have the strength from Niki and D.L.’s ability to pass-through solid objects. I didn’t remember if he got close enough to D.L. last season to absorb that one, but I guess he did. Next he needs to discover his flying and his invisibility.

I still don’t buy that Kaito Nakamura (George Takei) is dead. We’ll see. Angela Petrelli is next on the list it seems and she is attacked by someone who is invisible. So I am wondering if we will meet someone who possesses abilities of absorption or some other kind of Sylar, later on in the season. Someone from Nakamura and Petrelli’s past.

Of course we all saw it coming that Hiro would assume the identity of Takezo Kensei in the past and that is what happened. I didn’t see the part coming where the white guy (Sark from Alias) was another re-generator. But it makes sense in the setup of the Godsend symbol and the anchient Japanese theme that we keep seeing throughout the show. I am about ready to get Hiro back to the present, though.

The 2 Guatemalans’ story seems interesting. That power/ability seems strange and unuseful. I am curious to see where that will go, right now I can’t see any specific direction, though.

I am glad to see the Haitian back in the game. I laughed when he took Mohinder’s memory. And I am anxious to see what Mohinder, Bennett and the Haitian are cooking up now.

Next Week:
Peter uses some powers to rob an armored car to get his identity papers back - “The Box”. We finally get to see Niki and Micah for the first time this season. And the new flying kid and Claire seem to hit it off and start some planning of their own, similar to her father and the Haitian. And finally Sylar shows back up, proving that he wasn’t dead, which is also no surprise.
