What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Noah Bennet doesn't need glasses for his vision. He's just trying to protect you from his glare.

Noah Bennet doesn't shoot bullets. Bullets are just trying to get away from him.

Noah Bennet doesn't die. He just gives the Second Most Awesome Man in the World a few hours to celebrate.

Heroes Wiki talks about Victoria Pratt (and mentions Mutant X.)

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

Err....why wouldn't Claire's (or Adam's) blood bring Bennet back from death? Both Claire AND Peter have died and been brought back to life by their abilities.

I'm still wondering what happened with the Haitian that he ended up back with the Company in the Four Months. And then what he did to make them give him the virus and ship his sick ass back to Haiti. And then they send Mohinder after him. And where did he go after Ukraine?

I'm thinking about this way too hard.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

1) Because there's a big difference between being in a body where all your cells regenerate and getting a blood transfusion.

2) Because if the show has a sure-fire way to bring people back from the dead, that's a BIG DEAL. Someone go dig up D.L., for the love of god.

did they ever say why they had locked up Adam? Beyond them all being insanely jealous of how he looked so much better than them once they started getting wrinkly? Because the "stopped aging" 'revelation' seemed to be it, in my ears at least.

Also, I really really hope that Adam killed Kaito because of being locked up, and not because he carried a grudge against Hiro for 400 years. Although it's probably more likely that Kaito being Hiro's dad was just a bonus in what he would have done anyway, Hiro "Snowy Owl Love Killer" Nakamura or no Hiro "Snowy Owl Love Killer" Nakamura .

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Maybe Mohinder and not the Company is behind HRG's reanimation?

I was just coming here to post that! I hope this turns out to be the case, not least because I still don't really understand Mohinder's motivations if that isn't what happened.

because I still don't really understand Mohinder's motivations if that isn't what happened.

He seemed really invested in saving Nikki, which just doesn't make sense to me. I mean, okay, he was told that HRG (Noah still sounds funny) killed his mentor, so perhaps it shook him that Noah was capable of this, but after what Bob and Elle were planning to do, I don't see that he was really actively defending them as people/innocents. And I just don't get him being capable of murder on Nikki's behalf. I mean, if he's so principled that he doesn't believe that a near stranger should die of a virus, and if he's so principled that he doesn't believe that people like Elle and Bob should be murdered when they were very clear that they were going to assassinate Noah (or did I miss something?)... in both those instances being a pacifist and not shooting Noah would seem the logical outcome.

And I still don't get why the situation came to the head that it did. Maybe they (the writers) didn't explain themselves clear enough. I get the whole "dad defending his daughter", but... it's all too confusing with the lies and possible unreliable character narrative and character misunderstandings (as in, the characters don't know what the hell is going on and acting on assumptions and bad information. When it comes to that stuff, I can't keep up.)

I think in the end it really does just come down to Mohinder being dumber than a dumb thing.

I mean, I would love love if there was some trick up his sleeve, some prearranged "I'm going to kill you to really bring down the Company", but that just seems really out there to me, especially given the exchange in the car between Mohinder and Noah. There was nobody around to witness that scene of distrust and betrayal, which to me meant it was real.

I am now hoping that Mohinder changed the game and that's what he was trying to tell Noah in the car.

I'll have to rewatch to see if there really is any hope that Mohinder has something up his sleeve. Whether or not HRG is in on this "great" plan.
