Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

I assume Maya's parents were casualties of an unfortunate viewing of Old Yeller, but no one made the connection?

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

Y'know what would've worked A LOT better? If the first time we'd met M&A was when they stopped their car to help Sylar. The guy with Claire's car could've been left out completely. Their power could've remained hidden until they met the border patrol people. THAT would've been a HSQ moment -- for both us and Sylar! Then last night's backstory would've been actually useful.

SO much better than what we actually saw! Because yeah, last night's backstory added what, exactly?

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

it affirmed my knowledge that if there is anyone the Haitian needs to get to, it is her.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm willing to believe that the death toll at the wedding was at the highest setting she's capable of because she didn't know what it could do, and the narrower range of later incidents is because the character is doing everything she can to keep control of her fear. Speaking as someone diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, I have a good idea how tough that can be.

Really, stopping by a farmacia for a bottle of Paxil before hitting the road would have made the twins' storyline much less exciting....

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

so, can Claire's blood do what Adam's blood can do? I wonder when she will find out about this?

Do you think the Company drew his blood every so often to cure people?

I'm wondering if Candice/Michelle was working with Adam.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

can Claire's blood do what Adam's blood can do?

The promo seemed to say so (there was a shot of Bob drawing blood from her arm).

I did wonder how Adam's lived long enough to be pretty good at drawing his own blood and yet not realized that you don't inject stuff directly into the IV bag. I guess when you're indestructible you don't have to be very observant.

They pay me in WOIMS

Do you think the Company drew his blood every so often to cure people?

They didn't need to; they had Linderman.

Jessica, I didn't see the promo! Thanks.
