Well, Pixie for me is PoorDeadColin's Sister from Everwood. She had a name, but then she went off to boarding school and I can't remember. Lana? Oh, Laney, I think.

It seems that whatever he did to Matt and radioactive man while he was cleaning them out also increased their powers a great deal.

Well, the clean-out can power-increase could be separate. We don't really know what MBG does, exactly. And IF the clean-out leads to the power increase, and they know this, I wouldn't risk cleaning out the one guy who may have information in that head of his. Does he channel the future when he paints, or does he have future information in his head that he subconsciously taps into, you know? The way he paints random shit sometimes suggests the latter, which means wiping his brain would be BAD.

I totally missed the Haitian guy reference. This is what I get for watching with the daughter... she's got a habit of yakking while I'm trying to pay attention. Why did I think that DL was the guy who mindwiped the Quarterback and tried to kidnap Nathan?? I'm lame! There's tooo many characters with no names, I can't keep 'em all straight. Give these people names stat!

So I was speculating on how things might shake down once characters start intersecting and working together (as I assume they will) and the whole Niki/Jessica thing. While I would guess they will probably eventually integrate her personalities, I was thinking how much more interesting if she became like Jeckyll/Hyde in LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN where the powerful one is also one that can never be trusted, except possibly by Micah (as Mina seemed to be able to control Hyde somewhat).

That would be pretty sweet. Especially since I loved Hyde. And I also love Jessica.

This is something that bothered me last night. How do they know that Isaac's new painting is going to show them where Syler is? It hasn't seemed that his power works that way up until now. He can't really control it. How do they know he won't paint another picture of Simone and Peter kissing? Or of Ma Bennet feeding the dog, you know?

Perhaps the powers are just beginning to surface when they're snatched and studied, and then they increase after that regardless of the mindwipe. They didn't tell us how long Matt had the ability to read minds. Clearly he wasn't using it for personal gain up to that point. Maybe the little girl is one of the first times he heard a concrete thought, and that was because she was probably mentally screaming at the top of her lungs.

Ali Larter is doing a really good job with the transformations. Jessica seems capable of anything, really. And looks like she can do almost as much damage as Hyde when she wants to.

I am really hoping that they don't integrate Niki/ikiN. Actually, I would love it if Niki just went away and Jessica became a straight up villain because I think Ali Larter is doing a much better job playing Jessica than she is playing Niki.

See, Pixie for me is Not!Meg, but that's me mapping to a different fandom entirely.

And now in my brain, she'll forever be Nutmeg, even though I know not your Not!Meg.

I have to go watch the episode. I forgot I fell asleep during it last night, which probably explains why I kept thinking, "Huh, I don't remember that, at all," while reading most of this thread.
