Breaking the formula just reminded me of Supernatural with their THEN and NOW and how much it throws me when they just do a normal teaser without any previouslies. I like the previouslies, dammit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
It's a good thing they introduced Hana in this episode, otherwise I'd have lots more to complain about.
Oh, definitely. But: they introduced two women, they killed two women... it leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. Out of curiosity, I counted up everyone I could think of to see how the actual numbers stacked up. Here's my count so far:
Women with powers: 4 living, 3 dead
Men with powers: 11 living, 2 dead
Non-powered women with major or recurring roles: 4 living, 3 dead
Non-powered men with major or recurring roles: 6 living, 3 dead
That list doesn't include people I considered to be simply collateral damage (several of Sylar's and Jessica's unnamed victims). Also, I'm counting Niki/Jessica as one person, but I suppose you could argue that she counts for two!
I thought he was there with Eden when she mind-whammied Sylar so that Sylar's abilities could be blocked first,
Oh yeah. Hm, okay, so it seems he does have all-purpose blocking powers -- which makes him a lot more formidable than I'd thought!
Also, if he couldn't block Peter's and Claude's abilities, why bring him to New York?
I guess I figured Bennet liked to have him around in order to clean up after himself quickly whenever necessary.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
He's Bennett's security blanket. He drags him everywhere. Without him, Bennett loses all the control he has over the people in his life. I expect to see him cracking up pretty soon, now that he's lost control of Claire, the most important one.

Art Crawl!!!
So, can Peter combine powers to move the bullet out of Simone and then heal her? Is Peter too powerful now?
I wonder if he'll have some sort of reaction to using the powers he used in Isaac's studio. Like, extreme hunger or exhaustion.

Peter can't heal other people, only himself.

But I wonder if he can use his empathy to project the healing ability elsewhere?

Am I right in thinking Peter can only use one power at a time? As in, can't fly while invisible?
we don't know. He probably doesn't know. He can barely concentrate enough to use one power, let alone two.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Hiro moved time back one second the first time we saw him, IIRC.
Jessica, I share your frustration with the (d)evolution of Cally. I used to actually like her, and she was this cute kind of little sister to the guys, and she bit a guy's ear off... now she's just a nagging wife. Same with Dee... now she just stands by her (emo, boozing, in-love-with-someone-else) man.
It just feels like BSG has gotten so unfocused. I can't quite give up on it, b/c of my deep and abiding Starbuck love, but it sure is unsatisfying these days.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hiro and Ando walking dazed through the carnage they had hidden from was so funny! There were cars on fire and they hadn't seen a thing happen! And then, not a scratch on the Versa!
Poor Ando. I hope he follows Hiro to Vegas. It's destiny!
Who else mentioned destiny last night? Was it Nuclear Ted? Or Skylar?
