He called himself 'Claude Raines' which I took to be a joke, and not a real name. Claude Raines starred in a version of The Invisible Man, and he was British.
True, but it doesn't mean it's not a "name" he's used in the past.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Dude. They did 2 different fight scenes that they didn't have to shoot. I love it when cost-cutting gets creative.
Peter is rapidly climbing to Hiro-like levels of awesome. And it don't think it's just CE rubbing off. I do hope Claude's not gone for good, though.
Yeah. I can totally live without Simone.

might have just been a writers' joke, like the license plate on the car.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
That episode was awesome. Except, even though Simone/anyone was a sucking hole of anti-chemistry, I'm a little disturbed by all the dead recurring female characters on the show so far -- Eden, Charlie and now Simone. (I guess Dale, who I LOVED, doesn't really count since we've had plenty of one-off characters be Sylarized.)
Peter was freakin' scary. I like it.
Is Claude's invisible power always on? I imagine Claude and Peter were invisible to Bennet and the Haitian when they located them, then the Haitian dampened Claude's invisible power so that Peter's flight were visible to their eyes. It's too bad there wasn't much chance for Peter and the Haitian to interact here, because I really want to know what happens when the Haitian tries to suppress Peter.

I don't think so. We saw him "wink out" before he left the apartment.

didn't they have night vision goggles?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I wonder if he's visible when he's asleep.

didn't they have night vision goggles?
They did. I figured they located them with the infrared goggles, THEN the Haitian blocked Claude's power so that they were visible. But then, maybe Peter and Claude were "visible" only to us audience and Bennet and the Haitian were still seeing them as glowy blobs.
OK, I just rewatched the scene, and Bennet definitely watches Peter soar with Claude *without* his goggles.
ETA: d'oh! Of course Claude was unconscious by that time so of course they could see them. Nevermind.

Art Crawl!!!
Apparently, the Haitian or Mr. Bennett (whichever does the blocking) can only block one power at a time.
If it's Mr. Bennett - then the Trio are going to be in for a little surprise next week, no?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Is Claude's invisible power always on?
I don't think so. After Peter flies them away and they argue, Claude says Bennet and Co. is why he stays invisible all the time. Which says to me he can turn it off if he wants. (Plus, I'm not sure how someone with an "always-on" power would be able to train other supers to control their powers.)
