Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Trust my rage

I finally got to watch this week's ep last night.

I think it's interesting that everyone seems to be assuming that Kensei/Adam has been just waiting the last several hundred years to track down Hiro/cause mayhem. [eta: except Laga, and probably a few others that I missed. I guess when I say "everyone" I mean mostly off-board sources. Peter getting Adam is way more interesting to me that Adam just hanging around fuming over the Princess for centuries.]

I guess I don't think that Kensei was originally Adam transported back to the past like Hiro, but it seems sort of unimaginative to me that he's been holding a grudge against Hiro for this entire time.

OTOH, it never occurred to me that Adam was Kensei, so that was a bit of a shock. I do sort of like the Adam=first man, around forever sort of connotation to his name.

I was also surprised that Matt could suddenly trap his dad in a nightmare. I mean, his dad has been doing this for years and he can't get out now?

Also, Mohinder really is the dumbest man on the planet.

Peter getting Adam is way more interesting to me that Adam just hanging around fuming over the Princess for centuries.

OK, I'm not opposed to the theory, but... how would Peter know where to go in the past to get Adam, or have any reason for doing so?

Also, isn't Adam a contemporary of the Golden Age folks? So, he would have been brought into the future before Peter had manifested powers.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Assuming Adam is immortal != assuming he's just been twiddling his thumbs for the past 400 years. Just because we don't know what he's been up to doesn't mean he hasn't been up to something.

I don't think he's necessarily been fuming about Hiro stealing his girl all this time...but I do think once he realized what time period he'd caught up to, he sure as hell remembered.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I wonder what came first, forming the Company or planning a vendetta against Hiro?

It's been fun to see David Anders play Peter O'Toole, but I'm excited that he now gets to be Sark. Or Magneto. Or Magneto!Wolverine.

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

In the comics last year when Linderman came for Papa Petrelli (and Nathan was just a baby), Linderman said that he realized now there were bad people who had powers and he wanted to start an organization to combat them.

I wonder if Linderman was talking about Adam - as one example?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Didn't Bob say that Linderman was Adam's disciple, though?

Yes.

I hope he's been doing something cool and we find out what it is/was.

Also, call me crazy, but based on what Bob said, I thought Adam's power was weather control or something like Storm.

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

Okay, do you think Linderman turned against Adam like HRG turned against the Russian?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Maybe Adam is like Peter, but did not know it when he was being Kensei.
