I need to see the change, though. He's had that sort of thing before, hasn't he?
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He was told (and seemed to understand it) that he relied on his powers too much before he lost them. The whole regression business makes me throw up my hands in despair, though, so if it's undoing that I guess it's good.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It also parallels Claire's "what kind of hero are you?" plotline in this episode (which, I hope, will have somewhat longer consequences, because the whole getting a cover job thing seemed supremely pointless if it's done now. Claire's Comic-store Hero Underground Railroad could have been very cool.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I watched the episode again with some friends, and I think Nathan is either working closely with Rebel, or vice-versa. His reaction after Rebel saved Parkman was sort of knowing, he emphasized the word HOPE to Tracy after Rebel had just used the same word, and he was able to save Claire after Rebel alerted her that her free pass was up. It seemed like a really strong, deliberate connection.

Just caught it on hulu. Definitely getting better, but here's what I don't get. Why is Rebel sending Doyle to Claire in the first place? The girl has one power, indestructibility, which means she can walk through fire and all, but how exactly does that qualify her to protect the puppeturd? Yet somehow she magically trips male agent guy, and then pulls some false papers out of her ass. Oh yeah, that was her mom's new secret power.
I wonder if Danko got his job back, because clearly the best person to round up alleged terrorists is a guy who rigged one with explosives and nearly blew him up in front of the white house. And having watched 24 right before that, I'm waiting for Jack Bauer to kick Danko's ass. Or didn't he face-off against that actor in a previous season?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
The actor was one of the Drazens from Season 1 of 24.

Thanks. I was just too lazy to Imdeebee it.
I really do like that actor though. And is it just me, or does it seem like he's gotten younger playing Danko?

He's always pretty much looked the same to me.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Oh yeah! I've been calling him "The lawyer from Damages" all season - I forgot he was also on 24.
If Rebel isn't Micah, the only other possibility I can think of is Mama Petrelli. Maybe she's better with computers than she lets on.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Yeah. I mean, Hanna Gittelman is the only other character we've seen with the right sort of powers, and with Stana Katic now on "Castle," it doesn't seem likely.
Of course, Micah could be working for Mama Petrelli.
