I think you might have hit the nail on the head, victor. That, and in too many cases, once a character was introduced (or re-introduced), there was very little more (or new) to learn, so there's been a big feeling of "rinse, lather, repeat" this time around. I think they avoided it last year by sheer volume of character introductions - I'm not sure the pace or the nature of the revelations has changed all that much.
You want to meet the real me now?

I.e. last night's Nikki/Micah "MOM", "we can finally be a family again", "MICAH!!" snoozefest.
I'm resigned to the fact that lots of the good shows are going to have Kim/Cougar storylines, but they better fill the rest of the hour with the good shit.

Aw, I thought that part was adorable.

Micah clocking his cousin was MADE of awesome. Made me wonder how old he actually is, cause he looked about three or four years older when he threw that punch.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Ailleann, according to Wikipedia, Noah Gray-Cabey was born November 16, 1995. So I guess he just turned 12.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
I definitely noted that the boy can throw a mean punch.
Err, pun not intended.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm laughing at this week's Savage Love
It's amazing how quickly "confusion and disgust" at a proposed position/kink/sibling-combo-platter morphs into "comprehension and desire" when someone with come-fuck-me eyes/tits/asscheeks, etc., does the propositioning. Bill O'Reilly wants to rub falafels on your tits? You're on the phone with your lawyer. Milo Ventimiglia wants to rub falafels on your tits? You're in your kitchen mashing up chickpeas in your underwear.

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
If Maya and Mohinder were to breed the subsequent child would be so stupid as to, if possible, spontaneously die of stupid.
If its not possible to do so, the subsequent child would grow up, mate with Peter Petrelli and that child would turn out to be the "shanti virus" which, it would turn out, is not a virus at all but a cloud of mutant stupidity that wipes out the enitre world (with help from the Bush Administration).

I'm cutting Maya a little slack on the grounds that she is new at this and being manipulated by a sociopath.
Peter, on the other hand, deserves a massive wallop with the clue bat.
Mohinder I've given up on entirely.
