OMFG. I think I got chills at least three times this episode, two of those times having to do with Peter and Hiro. The beginning and the end.

Mr. Bennett continues to confuzzle me. One minute, he's AllEvil!AllTheTime!, fucking around with Matt's head, or rather giving BigBaldDude the order. Then the next he's going after his daughter's would-be rapist and ordering BigBaldDude to "hollow him out." I like that even the villian has his shades of gray, but seriously, he and BBD make for the one-two punch of heebie jeebies.

Although they are still behind Sylar in the all out creepfest.

Poor Matt. He was using his power to read his wife, to reconnect with her, and then the truly shitty side of being a telepath comes into play. Too bad he wasn't a Buffy fan because maybe then he would have had a little warning. I did love it when his wife remarked about the song, "That's been in my head for days," and Matt's all, "I know." Bad enough when that happens to you, but then you have to hear a song playing on repeat in someone else's head? Oy.

I'm leaning more and more towards Peter being an empath. Perhaps, since he seems to take on other's powers when he's around them, he's kind of like Rogue, only non-lethal. The eyes thing was very cool. He totally went Isaac.

Thank God, someone finally listened to him though. Go, Isaac. You are a better person than I because I would have so gotten in a punch or a kick or something. Get that out of the way, then save the cheerleader.

As for what's going after Claire - could it be Sylar? Given what was in that painting, it looked like the top of her head was missing (or was that simply Peter's lacking?).

Nathan's flying bit was awesome. I loved that they did not do any cheesy closeups or anything. Just showed him speeding about, leaving a contrail. Very cool, especially his landing. That had to hurt something fierce.

And of course, dear Hiro was beyond fantastic. I loved his entire conversation with Nathan at the diner. The "ride-o" and the "bom-bom." I liked the juxtaposition of current Hiro and future Hiro. Everything - the way he moves, talks, looks - in future Hiro screams of responsibility, that the weight of being "super" has definitely hit. It's no longer chipper, happy-go-lucky, I-finally-have-a-purpose Hiro. I like that.

Next week, as usual, looks amazing, and they never fail to leave you wanting more. Bastards. Heh.

I think the eclipse is supposed to have triggered the powers. I forget. Did we see Claire do thing before that scene with Pete and Mohinder in the cab?

Yeah, we saw her before then. In fact, she and the guy with the videotape recorder (have we learned his name yet?) caught the eclipse on their way home from one of Claire's "attempts."
