Vonnie, I'm as stuck as you. I like (and still recognize) Malcolm McDowell and wish he would do more stuff.

Vonnie, I'm totally thrilled that McDowell is Linderman. I can't imagine who would have thrilled me more -- maybe Sir Ian. Maybe.

Hey guys,

I love that show despite the weekly "handwaving". This week, for me, it was Mohinder's binding Batman to a chair and then telling him all the plans to kill him...later...

Or the VERY fast laptop/biolab that evaluates DNA in a millisecond.

That stuff always cracks me up.

I'm happy for Milo though. He's wanted that freakin' hair cut off since the beginning.

I think April 23 is the most expensive ep of TV ever. They spent 4.5 million - rumors say. That is then followed by the most closely watched "very on budget" epsiode ever.

What was the exact translation of the exchange between Grandma Petrelli and the Haitian? She said something about security, and the Haitian said, "Ecoutez. J'ai fait tous ce que je peux," (listen, I did everything I could) and I couldn't quite make out the rest -- I think it was something to the nature of "she was going to find out about it anyway" or something.

I normally don't read this thread, but I figured someone might want this translation so I transcribed it last night:

Grand-mère P: Au moins maintenant elle sera en sécurité...et pas grâce à vous. [At least now she'll be safe...no thanks to you.]

L'Haïtien: Ecoutez, j'ai fait tout ce que j'ai pu. Elle aurait bien fini par trouver sa propre voie. [Listen, I did everything I could. She would have eventually found her own way.]

Or the VERY fast laptop/biolab that evaluates DNA in a millisecond.

That was so goddamn ridiculous I didn't even bother trying to understand it. His dad had been working for MONTHS trying to isolate the proper genes, and Mohinder comes in and does it in, like, five minutes.

They spent 4.5 million

Holy Moly, Batdude! Their advertising must cost a bundle.

I thought it was Isaac in the painting.

I have confidence in MM doing a great job with Linderman. He was quite sure of himself turning his back on Nathan. Of course Nathan was in a corner. Linderman likely has his own power.

Mama Petrelli also most likely has power.

A rewatch of the whole series will be the plan over the break.

I had a microbiology course once where our professor had us watch Outbreak and MST3K the science. All you need to survive Ebola is a shot of monkey blood!

Mama Petrelli also most likely has power.

Raise your hand if you want to see a Mama Petrelli/Linderman smackdown!

Thanks megan!

Yowza!
