can someone explain to me in a believable fashion, why an eclipse would set off super abilities?
what are the physical properties of an eclipse that could do this?

Damn it, I thought Mohinder was history.
Hee, poor Matt.
The concentrated rays of the Sun's corona during the eclipse turns on and off powers. No, I got nothing.

Woah. Petrilli catfight, followed up by the return of the Haitian. I just may have something to get interested in again.
Noah is badass. Plus, I've been waiting for someone to beat the crap out of Sylar for a while.
Claire is so obviously a Petrelli after that move. No blood test required. I mean, she saw the others didn't have their powers.

Isaac was oddly specific. And quite prolific.

Seth Green and Breckyn Meyer as the comic store clerks was one of the funniest cameo bits I've seen in a while. I hope that wasn't last of them. If so, what a waste, but points for the casting all the same.
Plus, I've been waiting for someone to beat the crap out of Sylar for a while.
That was very satisfying, I must say. I'm a bit ashamed to admit how equally satisfying Noah whacking the shit out of Elle was satisfying as well.
Anyone want to take bets that everybody's powers come back once the eclipse is completely over, since it seemed to be the longest eclipse in recorded history? I'm guessing right around the time Noah finally gets around to firing a shot, Sylar will be invulnerable again.

And apparently the anti-John Cassady/Karl Moline in terms of meeting his schedules. He was YEARS ahead of schedule, it looks like.

I think it's going to be like that Jenny McCarthy show where test audiences liked George Hamilton so much as her deceased dad that they kept finding new tapes of him each episode so he could continue to be part of the series.

Poor Daphne!!! Now you see why she was so desperate to keep her powers. It seemed a little weird that she was so crazy, but seeing her on the crutches made you understand. It was a nice reveal.

I agree, Vortex. It made all those ominous threats make a lot more sense. And also, that's season one shit right there! Making the power correspond to the person in some way.
