Wheeeee!

I'm loving the show in a totally cheestastic squish-it-to-my-chest way. They're actually moving this puppy at a brisk pace, which is so goddamned refreshing I could just scream. I let out a small "oh noes!" when it ended, because I WANT to see what Isaac painted, I need to know how Hiro's photo with that sweet-faced waitress got to be on the wall, and I want to know how that kid with the soccer ball is tied to everything (seriously, a Mohinder side-plot that didn't make me snooze! Gag me with a spoon.) The episode was so full, I didn't miss Niki or Micah or the Petrellis at all!

This show = crack.

Wait, Santiago Tyler? What/who was that? And if you squish it, it's "S-yler".

I can't wait for next week!

I know! How far back did Hiro go? (And will he come back with a fu-manchu beard and a sword? Kinda doubt it, but a guy can hope!)

One of the frustrating things about this show is that if people would happen to mention little details of things, things would connect a bit faster. For instance, if Peter had mentioned the impending explosion to Nathan, he might have connected it to what Hiro said in Vegas. And if Issac had mentioned Peter, they could have possibly gotten the painting out of him without putting him back on heroin. Or if Issac had brought up the "Save the Cheerleader" prophecy, that might have connected the Claire's Dad of Mystery to (again) Peter and Hiro.

Basically, they keep missing pieces of the puzzle by holding their cards too close.

But right now, we're finally pretty close to getting everyone in one place: Hiro and Ando are geographically close to Claire (far as we can tell); and D.L. and Michah are sort-of randomly headed in that direction, with ikiN on their trail. Issac can connect to Peter and Nathan in order to get them in the picture (although Nathan would take convincing) and Matt is looking for Sylar, and the the waitress' murder (which seems to have still happened) could get Not!Marcy's attention, bringing her and Matt there. Mohinder's the one who's basically out of the picture, unless he hooks back up with either Eve or Peter.

Gah, this gets complicated!

Wait, Santiago Tyler? What/who was that? And if you squish it, it's "S-yler".

Oh dear god, you're right.

Exactly what I meant.

OOOOH. I think you've got it. Santiago was the boy with the soccer ball in Mohinder's dream, wasn't he? It was his photo that was in the file. Do you think Mohinder's sister (who was "special") was perhaps Syler's first kill, and that's what started Professor Suresh on his obsessive path?

I'm not sure if Mohinder's sister would have been the first kill, but he does seem to be reaching out to Mohinder, possibly even trying to get Mohinder to stop him. Which is actually typical serial-killer behavior.

the name is actually "SANJOG, Iyer" on the file folder that Mohinder finds.

That's the name I saw, too.

So, Pixie's power is that she can wrap men around her little finger?

Also, I was a bit confused by Matt's retelling of his origin story. He seemed like he was agreeing with Radioactive Man's story that the powers didn't appear until after they were taken by MBG, but Matt already had his powers before he was taken, right?

I was confused by that, too. We saw Matt "hear" that little girl's thoughts in Sylar's victims house before he ever got snatched by BGM and the Haitian.

Damn, that was good show. What was on those clippings that Mohinder found about SANJOG, Iyer? Something about continuing to learn in dreams? I guess I will have to watch it again.

And I love Mohinder, even if his story has been kinda slow up to this point. So. much. pretty.
