'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"

Actually, the revelation about the relationship is the most exciting thing for me of this uneven episode. I find myself wondering, though, if the producers meant them to be related from the beginning.

(And just how and why did Mama Petrelli give up one of her babies? She doesn't seem like the type to let one of her precious children be spirited off....)

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

I think she'd give one up for the big ol' almighty plan.

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

I find myself increasingly rolling my eyes at the apparently infinite list of Mama Petrelli's Big Giant Secrets.

It was cool in S1 when she would occasionally do something that hinted at her being a great power behind the throne. It was cool in S2 when we started to get an inkling of what her true powers might be. Now it's only 2 hours into S3 and she's running The Company and seeing the future? YAWN.

The second Mohinder injected himself, I was hoping one of the side-effects would be death. Looks like I may be right! Hooray!

I've also decided that every time Peter acquires a power, a few million of his brain cells die.

Still enjoying the show overall, but foresee myself shouting OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE?!?!?!!!! at the screen frequently this season.

I was very put off by the stupid. I will give it a couple more episodes, but if something doesn't grab me, I'm bailing.

Well, I guess we know for sure now that he doesn't eat brains.

Didn't they actually shoot Zachary Quinto eating a brain for an early episode, but decide it was too disturbing?

I assume Future!Peter used Parkman's psychic powers to put Now!Peter's consciousness into that other guy's body. But what happened to his own body? And does he just have that guy's power now, or does he still have his own mimicking ability? (I would guess the former—if Arson Man could ignite in his cell, a fully empowered Peter should be able to teleport or phase out.

Wait...apparently I missed something. I didn't take Mama Patrelli saying she was Sylar's mother literally. I thought she was using her pusher-powers (like she used on Nathan's wife) to make Sylar believe she was his mother.

Was there something that suggests they're actually related for real?

I'm with you, Kalshane. I didn't take her literally at all.

Good to know I'm not crazy. Or at least if I am, I'm crazy in good company.

Jessica is me. Entertained and disappointed, wash, rinse, repeat. Heroes has moved into Smallville territory at this point.

I first groaned when Hiro makes his comment about destiny knocking at the door, and cue the door knock. I was so hoping it was just the pizza guy, but no - destiny letter from dad - dear hiro, don't open the safe, protect the ripped sheet of paper in saran wrap which, when reunited with its twin ripped sheet of paper in saran wrap, will cause the world to explode. Hiro's quest - save the world from his own stupidity.

Mohinder injecting himself, really? He just had to be a cool kid. I hope he dies screaming.

Lots of other thoughts, but too tired to post.

Hi Wolfram! Love to see your spicy thoughts.

You know, if you're going to inject yourself with a highly experimental substance, don't you think it would be a good thing to do it in a safe place, like a lab or somewhere that someone can call emergency services when you collapse writhing helplessly?

I guess we can't hope for more sense from a handsome box of hair with a cool accent....
