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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
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.

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

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, man, it is so great to come in here and read Buffista commentary after watching w/ my pop culture-obsessed but not v. snarky BF. KBD kept saying "I'm so confused!" and I kept thinking, "Huh, I just don't care enough to be confused."

A world of YES, Wolfram.

Oh, and another thing. When Nathan talked to Tracey about meeting Niki in Vegas, wasn't he neglecting a WHOLE bunch of subsequent meetings, including when they were all there and saved New York? Niki, DJ and Micah were there, weren't they?

Sure, but he was going to throw it in the harbor (because THAT would have been so safe -- all we need are a bunch of super-powered fishies and crabs) and at the last minute couldn't stand to do it.
I mostly wanted to smack him when he was all "This is AWESOME!!! I can give EVERYONE* powers!!!!" as Maya has a breakdown because she's an unwilling serial killer who desperately wants to stop. Two second's of tact, Mo, logic it out with her for a bit. I know you're thrilled that everyone** gets to be super now.
* by "everyone" he means "myself"
* again, by "everyone" I mean "Me! Me! Me! I get to be super now and my dead Daddy will love me."
