Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

Nice to see Ray Park getting work.

I have to admit I'm all about Noah/Tracy.

I definitely caught a vibe there.

I don't mind seeing Sylar if he remains various folks guilt-ridden projection. With Matt, it could easily be nothing actually Sylar that's causing his visions. I hope they don't clarify too soon. And I like the idea of "Nathan" having powers he's not sure about, as long as he stays "Nathan".

I enjoyed the Peter/Darth Maul fight. That was a lot of fun.

Overall, I thought that the premiere was very enjoyable.

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

I thought about watching but decided I wasn't up for a full 2 hours. Maybe this weekend.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I'm assuming the compass is a Hero-detector. I'm not sure what to make of Claire's new friend. I think we're to think there's something up with her, beyond, now, knowing. It was an enjoyable hour and a half. I hope they can keep it up.

I did this too, except I decided maybe it was time to give up on Heroes, which allowed me to see HIMYM for the first time in a long time.

That's what I was thinking about the compass. Doesn't it show how much HRG really isn't on top of things that he didn't make much of the compass working for Peter but not working for himself?

Do you think that the promo is attempting to mislead us into thinking she is evil but that she is not really evil? (Claire's new buddy.)

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I watched on Hulu, so I didn't get the promo.

I hope she's not evil (I really don't need a morbid = evil plot), but I do think there's something up with her.

And it's not like it's all that hard to test the compass theory. srsly.

There were a number of times that I really noticed how much the show is shot like a comic book. Also, Nathan has a really square jaw, especially when shot from slightly below.

Well, it looks like someone sets up a Claire's a freak site, and all signs are pointing to her so far.

Compassionately intolerant

I haven't watched the episode yet, but I did catch an emmy red carpet interview with Hayden P where it was revealed that the new roomie will become a 'romantic' interest for Claire. She said," There may be a kiss...there may be more... "

Whitefonted for it's spoiler/rumor mongering, even though it comes from an 'official' source.
