So, the Latino characters' storyline revolves around making it to America to escape a bad situation they got into through no fault of their own. And the black characters' storyline revolves around trying to escape from poverty.

You know, I can see what they're
trying
to do. It's kind of like Joss' trick of making a fantastical metaphor out of a mundane problem. But somehow, they seem to be mixing the wrong elements of the real-world situation, and it comes out(for me at least) as kind of cliched.
Oh, well. We're starting to get some interesting interactions going, so maybe things will pick up.
And Monica's boss was Big Mike from
Chuck
! Hee.
Bob can turn stuff into gold, and is apparently the Elder 12's walking, talking source of funding.
I think Mama Petrelli has the power of persuasion like what's her face who shot herself in the head rather than be killed by Sylar in Season 1.
And now Bob seems to be running the Company.
I think Mama P is "confessing" so she'll be kept in a high security environment which would make her much less of an easy target - and highly investigated if she is killed.
I bet she's a good chess player.
Also, I'm very pleased how Matt has been made a whole lot more interesting with the family association and potential plot complications. I do have to wonder if HRG knew Matt was related to a Company founder/associate.

If she does, she's not very good at it.
I really enjoyed last night's episode and actually stayed up late enough to watch it in real time.
Sylar has really made the twins more interesting. Even though I think he's hot, he's definitely more evil in that he now killed someone for just getting in his way and not just for their powers.
I decided that I like Micah more when his mom's not around and I thought it was interesting that he disobeyed his mom's "no powers" adminishment without much thought.

he's done that before though. he killed Dr. Suresh(senior) and would've killed junior if Peter hadn't shown up.
