And why is the finale next week? That's a short season, yes? It doesn't seem driven by the strike, either, or is it?
They repurposed a mid-season climax to act as a season finale in case of the strike. I suspect (unspoiled speculation here) there will be a cliff-hanger...
I am very, very worried about Matt.
I'm hoping he's at work and Mohinder calls him.
Peter is reaching Mohinder-like levels of stupidity with this storyline. How many people are going to warn him against Adam before he realizes what he's planning to do?
From what I read, they had been planning an 11-episode arc even before the strike. Then I think they had gone back and re-shot some things, in case it needed to serve as the season finale.
I think this "chapter" was scheduled for eleven episodes, with another "chapter" to follow. With the strike impending, I think I heard they went ahead and wrote the eleventh episode as a psuedo "finale" just in case.
eta: Talk about massive x-post. Think we care about our TV much?

Right. You think Hiro he would trust over any one else by this point, but NOOOOOO!!!! I'm going with "memory-loss residue" for this reaching "dumber than a box of Mo" levels.

And this is why I love you all like cake.
Dude, I am in everyone's brains tonight.
I promise I won't Sylar-ize you.
I'm trying to develop a theme here with hair and intelligence, but it's not working. Mohinder has hair and the stupid. Peter had hair last season, but no stupid. Now, like Samson, he is shorn of hair and, apparently, brains. Shit, Sylar won't even have to cut his head open, there's no brain there to eat.
