Molly was the first person whose thoughts Matt heard, wasn't she?

Good point. At the very least, his initial encounter with her was the first time he (eventually) realized he was hearing someone else's thoughts.

Matt is a Box of Hair, most of the time.

I adored Greg Grunberg when I played fan liaison for him at the first Destination: L.A., but I just started liking Matt in the last episode with his response to Bennett's withering intensity: "OK. A simple 'no' would have done the trick." And, of course "... ... the porno."

I've also finally started to like DL. Too bad they let the character wither on the vine for most of the season. They do need to do more with the women on the show, so I can see why Nissica gets featured, but there's just something cool about a guy who can reach into someone's head and pull out their brain.

And then I got distracted by that mention of the Linderman Act... so that he came to signify the threat that the mutants (I don't know what to call them) pose to normal humanity.

I sort of prefer the idea that they found out mutants killed him and named the act in his honor.

Yeah, I hope we see a lot more of DL in further seasons. He's got a cool power and what little what we've seen of his character seems appealing. I liked his threat to leave Jessica stuck in a wall. That would put marzipan in her pie plate.

But isn't he more or less known as a criminal element? The Petrelli campaign didn't want to be associated with him at one point, I thought, because of his shady reputation. That could get wiped clean by getting his brain pulled out of his head, I suppose - even the scary and powerful are vulnerable to the new menace sort of thing.

Too bad Linderman's healing powers are lost, now. Peter never was near him, right?

And I suspect that Nathan, as president, could do some rewriting of history if he wanted to.

Good point. That makes for a more interesting commentary.

Peter never was near him, right?

not that we know of. It might be that he got his powers without knowing about it. Nathan clearly knew Linderman before the show started, but there's a chance that Peter interacted with him.

According to my latest text from Hana, she's in China. Huh. Is that where the rocket was, in the comic?

A reminder just in case: the finale is going to run an extra five minutes so set your DVRs.
