Actually, Julie said what I meant: OWI probably "cured her" to more like the personality that's useful to them.
I don't really have a security blanket... unless you count Mr. Pointy.

So, are we thinking man with smoking gun in Isaac's painting is this "Adam" character or is that supposed to be West?
Please tell me there's not a Batman joke in there somewhere.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think I'm on the side of mildly liking prank - especially since the witchy cheerleader wasn't physically hurt during the prank. If in running away from West she had been hurt, that would have been really fucked up.
But, her bullshit hazing techniques for the other cheerleaders on her squad and her drinking on school grounds was not cool with me. She needed to be off the squad for that behavior (either one, and definitely both) anyway.
Not to mention, DWI is one of my issues and if she blew a .13, are you going to tell me that she wouldn't have been driving buzzed after the hazing?

Our wings are not tired.
ew ew ew, I thought the "prank" was supremely fucked up and made me dislike Claire on par with my dislike of West.
On this side of the fence. She needed to be pranked, but I didn't like the method.
Happy enough to have Peter back, but why oh why do we have Irish chick?
Bottom line, Sylar needs to get his power back because the show is a bit cast heavy. Of course, HRG can do some of the thinning out too.

I agree with this, and I also thought it was supremely stupid for a girl who is supposed to be trying to blend in.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Is New Orleans' chick's accent as terrible as I think it is?
Yes. I complain every week. The whole New Orleans thing throws me completely out of the story. From the crap accents to the chick saying, "Half this county.." It doesn't even look like New Orleans.

Art Crawl!!!
Well, Japan looked extremely Californian this week. The dryness really had me noticing it. . .of course, it looks v. Californian every week just even more so this week.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I don't think the prank was that effed up -- bitchy girl and everyone else end up thinking she drank too much.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
Not my favorite episode last night. It made me realize how few of the storylines I actually care about this season.
I'm sorry, but Hiro in Japan is killing me. I am so bored now. Although I did like the return of Kensei calling him Carp and Ando is still the cutest thing ever. We better get some serious payoff.
Los gemelos aburridos continue to bore (and now with extra, added stupid). Loved Sylar creepily creeping at pretty boytwin. Would love it even more if it turns out that he could secretly speak English all along. Please kill them already. And if Sylar and black goo girl wind up having some twisted love affair, I will hurt someone.
Claire and West. Bored. Again. Some more. I don't care about her noble fight to rid West Covina High of some snobby Heathers. Wherever this story is going, it needs to get there real fast. And for the love of dog, that boy is tore up. I cannot get behind the bowl cut and think, "Ah, yes. That's the hotness."
Monica's accent is killing me. And it's not even bad New Orleans. It's bad generic southern. Killing me. I did like her again last night (loved the bit on the balance beam) and I'm kinda interested in her going all St. Joan on NO with Micah as her super-tech support. Think of the Batcave they could build! I also thought she got a little suspicious of Santa Tobby there at the end, which was a good thing.
I've realized that I have no interest in Peter among the oirish if he insists on remaining fully clothed. And so, he survived the nuclear explosion and became some kind of secret spy working with others to take down the OWI and then got amnesia and then wound up in Ireland? Ooooookay. Bring back KB or shirtlessness or something cause that dog won't hunt.
I missed Matt Parkman. Never thought I would say that. I want more of the Matt and Nathan show. I want more 3M.
I totally thought that Jessica was now the dominant personality (even without the wavy hair of evil). Again, though, not really interested in the Mo-Nikki/Jessica pair.
HRG and the Haitian. Made. of. Awesome. HRG is the man.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I agree with this, and I also thought it was supremely stupid for a girl who is supposed to be trying to blend in.
It was stupid and teenage and I totally dug it. This is the girl who dealt with a teen rapist by ramming his car into a wall. Claire doesn't do low-key any more than her badass daddy does. (And OMG that was twisted and wrong and awesome.
There's definitely some (if not all) of Jessica in Niki's "integrated" personality.
I don't think the personality has integrated yet, and indeed, we have no evidence at this point to say when we're seeing Nikki, ikkiN or a fusion persona. Consequently, if we take everything we've been led to assume and flip it on its head, it could have been Nikki storming out and trying to throttle Bob, and ikkiN playing nice in the hospital bed. Doesn't matter either way to me, I love when Al Larter gets to project a touch of menace.
Awesome episode, all around.
