I love how Mr. Muggles was barking at something overhead.

So... Claire's great x 17 grandfather was Japanese??

Heck, from what Mama Petrelli said, even her grandfather could be Japanese.

Damn, Noah Bennet. You are one mean mother . . . shut yo mouth.

And why is everyone on this show exponentially hotter than they were before? Mohinder is even making Matt kinda sexy (and I never thought that could happen).

Ok, did not need to see Claire cut her toe off. Ouch.

Once again, the show did not disappoint.

Word on the "see" bit, especially. I was cringing and looking away.

And not just 'cause you don't do that to sewing scissors.

That was ewwww x 100 with the toe!

Is it just my bad ears, or did the Haitian's name turn out to be really Bob?

That would have been awesome, but sadly, I think Mohinder was referring to Mr. Goldfinger.

I almost forgot the moment when Mrs. Petrelli mentally yelled at Matt to get out of her head and they both looked surprised.

I loved, loved HRG telling Claire some home truths about what the Company would do to her if they get their hands on her. HRG is just rockin' my socks off these first two episodes.

I need for things to speed up a little on the Maya/Alejandro storyline. Not that they both aren't very pretty and I do enjoy getting a little Spanish in (which, overall, way to be multi-culti, Heroes), but right now this storyline is dragging as much as Nikki/IkkiN.

So, this is the season of "yeah, now we're going to have power-doubles for everyone!"

I actually think it's instructive at this point to see some duplicates, because really, the powers don't make the character, and it's the character that matters. (Which is why I'm incline to doubt that Kensai and Claire are related, as I doubt that West and Nathan are related.)

Digging the hell out of Mama Petrelli. The "GET OUT OF MY MIND!" bit, with her screaming in her head and keeping a completely neutral expression was awesome. And "not for a long time ..." YOWZA!

right now this storyline is dragging as much as Nikki/IkkiN.

And of course, we've not even seen the ikkiN family yet this season. And oddly, I can't say I've missed them, although I'll probably be happy when they turn up.

And speaking of happy they turned up: The Haitian! And he's now part of the Bennett Conspiracy Without Initials (BCWI)! That's some pretty awesome team-building going on. Of course, I'm surprised Principal Flutie Bob sent Mohinder in without a primer on The Haitian Sensation's abilities, but there you are. Playing too close to the vest has always been the OWI's weak spot.

Bennett Conspiracy Without Initials (BCWI)

I love this!
