We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

I think I'll like the Peter plotline once it gets moving, which it looks like they're working on. However, most of the rest of it hasn't made any sense. "You're dangerous and freaky, but you should be a member of our criminal family! Here, have my sister, who will close our ostensible business in the middle of the day to have sex with you! Open the box! Don't open the box! I'm opening the box! The box tells me nothing!"

I t heart Dana.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

The box tells me nothing!

Which, of course, is kinda unfair. Give me a passport and a plane ticket and I can discover all sorts of things about anybody. Seriously. I can probably have your life story in hours.

The passport would be particularly useful, wouldn't it?

If the plane ticket can be linked to CC information - well that would also be very telling.

But would Amnesiac Peter know that?

And why doesn't somebody just suggest that they google his name?

Maybe modify to say USA or New York (if that was the origin of the flight.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Are you suggesting they have Google in Ireland? Crazy talk.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

or heaven forbid that they not have internet, there are a few US embassies in Europe, right? Go to one. With the passport.

Which they probably would or will. But that's not what Peter was looking for. Peter was hoping for an instant emotional connection with the information in the box. Which was an unreasonable hope, but kind of understandable. He knows his name, but that means nothing to him right now. And now they have another mystery in front of them, and it allows Peter to avoid finding out more about who he is (or at least, not go directly looking for that information.) Because he has a deep-seated fear of uncovering his past. Something happened (The explosion? What came after? The Nightmare Man?) and all he knows is that he desperately doesn't want to face it again.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I finally watched the show last night, but oddly I have nothing to add to the conversation except that Mohinder will always be A TOOL, and I am IN LOVE with Nathan this season. How the hell did that happen?

Mohinder can't help that he's a box of hair. If eleven year old Molly was not in a coma, she could have provided the common sense both Mohinder and Matt lack.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

One thing that cracks me up is Molly wearing makeup that is WAY too mature and trashy for her. You know a little girl in a My Two Dads situation would completely be able to take advantage in that way—it would be a "girly thing" that neither of them knows about or is comfortable setting limits for.
