Overall assessment: Kinda stupid, kinda fun.
Ha, yeah, my thoughts exactly. I'm looking forward to seeing where they go with this storyline. I loved Molly's Two Dads, and poor Claire trying to be unexceptional, and amnesiac!Peter, and the Dread Pirate Kensei. My kittens are on Nathan or Claire's creepy new stalker being Mr. Nakamura's killer, which means of course it won't be either of them.
We didn't see Niki, D.L., or Micah at all; was there anyone else missing in this episode? Also, was Mrs. Bennet mindwiped again, or is she just pretending? I'm hoping she's really in on the whole plan.

The Haitian. WHO NEEDS A NAME.
I think the killer of the generation 1.0 would have to be someone much older than West. One of the remaining seven, as it were.
The runaway Latino sibs reminded me strongly of Simon and River. Which was even more enhanced by Maya's power resembling the Blue Glowstick-y Hemorrhagic Death from "Ariel".
The Haitian. WHO NEEDS A NAME.
I briefly thought the Haitian was one of the Irish dudes breaking into the iPod thingie. Then he spoke (my TV reception is fuzzy)
Oh, noes, it's another one of Nathan's bastage children flying around, sending incest vibes to Claire (she seems to attract them, huh?)
I'm with Matt. There's no reason to believe that because they can both fly, they are related. Not yet anyway.
I love Claire and Mr. Bennett both lying about not sticking out. Mr. Bennett can no more be Assistant Manager at a paper company than Claire can be non-descript high school student.
Also I couldn't tell who's scarred face Nathan saw in the mirror, his own or his brother's. I thought it was his own. It confused me.
Me too. Made me wonder if he was remembering or if it was real and he developed the ability to project a different image.
Peter has lost his cowlick and traded place with Jack Bauer.
Ha! Yet somehow, Nathan got the beard.
Until the end, I thought that kid might actually be Peter watching over Claire from deep cover, having picked up chameleon powers along the way.
And another me too!
There was an eclipse shortly after Hiro landed and we've been led to believe that's when powers manifest.
That may be the case for Peter and Hiro, but I'm not so sure about the rest of them. Sylar was certainly killing before then. I think Nikki killed DL's gang before then, and Nathan's flying escape from the car crash had to have been sooner. Not that a previous eclipse couldn't be credited but I have a hard time gelling that with the genetics part of the story.
Oh right, Bob the Haitian! I knew I was forgetting someone.
It's funny to me that at the end of last season, I was so sure that both Nathan and Peter were dead (because, what was the point of that melodramatic scene if neither of them died?), and yet I'm totally unsurprised to see them both in the show again. I mean, they've both been doing press for the show practically nonstop, so I've known for a while they'd both be back, but it seems strange that nobody connected with the show tried to keep that a secret at all.
I have a suspicion that DL is dead. We didn't see him at all during the ep, did we?

The camera work in that scene was hilarious.

Well we didn't see Nikki or Mica either.
But I also have the suspicion because of his lack of face time in any promo teasers or pics that i've seen.
(spoilerfont to be safe due to discussing promos.)
