Heroes

--Sylar raised the interest value of the twins' storyline to the millioneth power.

--And yet. If this became the M3 and Petrelli show? I would DIE and go to HEAVEN. Seriously. The beard is gone. Nathan and his mother have a moment. Nathan and his boys have a moment. The boys hate the beard like sensible people everywhere! Nathan is mooning over photographs of his boyfriend brother. All I need is Peter and Nathan reunited for my happiness to be complete.

--Matt loses major Father of the Year points for that "maybe what Molly needs is to confront her fears" crap. Perhaps that's a good tact to take if you're kid is having nightmares about, oh, let's say, pasta in squiggly shapes. Oh, the horror! But if she's afraid of a bad man with super powers who can get inside her head and knows where you live? Turning away from your fears is actually a really good strategy!

--Last episode, I kept expecting Matt and Mohinder to kiss. This episode, I felt the angry sex was about to break out at any moment. Oh, show! How you love us.

--Nathan and Matt working together = for the win!

--Oh, and speaking of Nathan, can he always be wearing that gray suit/black shirt combo? He can? Thank you!!!!

--Speaking of Matt, oh my God, what's up with his father? And the fact that all these heroes from the older generation have children with powers makes me wonder if the powers are naturally occurring, or if the parents did something to cause them. I mean, just because a parent has a genetic trait doesn't mean ALL their children are going to inherit it.

--Thank God poor Micah has finally been liberated from the lame-ass plot that revolves around Nikki and has gone on to something much more interesting with the new girl. She's so cool! And her power rocks. And grandma Uhura! I wasn't sure how I felt about the tragedy of New Orleans being just so much window dressing on the plot. It seems kind of insensitive to me.

--Claire and West brought back visions of Lana and Clark, which I SO did not thank them for.

Mentions of the trailer for next week ahead. Stop reading now if you don't want to know!

I like Kristen Bell, but if that preview is any indication, she's going to be playing Veronica with powers.

Exactly. It was just a throwaway point of the plot, which trivializes the whole thing. I think it especially stands out to me because I hate when shows or movies do that with 9/11.
