Maybe he can come back in drag as his not-dead sister?
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

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

No, no. They just need a hero whose power is to steal people's voices leaving them mute. Then he can meet Mo, steal his voice, and Mo can spend the rest of the series just standing around looking beautiful as god intended. Mohinder can learn how to communicate through use of semaphore flag codes. He will need material, so he can break into Peter's place and steal all his shirts, causing Peter to have to walk around bare chested all the time and then everybody wins.

You my friend, are a narrative genius.

Our wings are not tired.
Hiro is still being wasted. Mama P. still rocks. Matt Parkman is still a sad sack. Sylar still needs to go somewhere and sit down. Nathan is still so, so pretty. Mohinder wasn't even on tonight, but I just know he was off doing something that proves he's dumb as a box of rocks. Glad to see the Haitian back. Story is still hopelessly muddled.
Watched last night and I see that kat spoke for me above. It was enjoyable enough, but it didn't really hold my interest. I'll be watching because I still have hope. Maybe they will follow kat's most excellent suggestions.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I, too, noticed Lydia's name. And I like kat's plan.
I find the carnival an interesting idea, and I hope they don't fuck it up. Watching the plot line, I was thinking "I am tempted to distrust him because the character I identify the actor with was untrustworthy, but this character hasn't given me too much cause for it, besides the directive to kill people, but, in this Universe, that's par for the course. Why does he want to gather the Heroes?" I'm not sure what his power is, anyway. Unless he's a Sylar. I'm not sure what's up with the ink, if that's in the ink or the inker, and if there's some kind of synergy with Lydia's power.
I did find a couple of the back-pictures at the end a bit hard to decipher ("That's Peter..and that's either Claire or Ali-Larter's-current-character...and...that's the end of the episode. Ok"), but I had some of that problem, at times, with the comic book art, too.

Oh, I can think of a million ways to get Peter Petrelli nearly nekkid.
I want to know what's up with the knife boy. Are the knives a part of the power? Does he generate knives along with the super speed? Because that could open up a whole nother world of possible avenues to Petrelli nekkidness.

They caught me up for at least a few more episodes, damn them.
I particularly liked Pasdar's solo scenes, he's knocking it out of the ball park as Not!Quite!Right!Nathan....

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I am just started watching this weeks Heroes, and Claire's roommate is even more evil than Buffy's was.
ETA: And now I feel bad for posting that.
Also, Noah's speech about connecting to people reminds me a lot of Doyle's speech to Angel in the first episode of "Angel".

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

Yeah. I've known a million kids like her. They're far more brittle than they let on, so that pinged ... well ... OK for me. as odd as it is to say, I'm glad it was a suicide. It's dumb and it's tragic, but it's human, and I think Claire needs at least a little of that right now, characterwise.
Just watched the episode on demand (thank you, S.J., for the tip) and have to say, I didn't hate it. In fact, it did a lot right that didn't involve Matt Parkman or Sylar/Nathan. (And actually, I'm liking AP's handling of the situation, so there's that.)
HRG and Peter had a good Batman/Superman vibe going again, and I like the way they pulled back on Tracy and didn't drag out the homicidal rampage.
There seems to be some effort to bring the characters back into balance with the world again, and I appreciate it. there's been some ... missteps ... in the past two seasons, and I think it's a smart idea to dial down the scale a little bit, put the focus back on the characters, and not their powers. If they forget dumb things like Claire's magic blood ever existed, I'll be OK with that.
Digging the carnival crew, although the Hiro angle is ... odd. Glad to see his sister again, though, and am happy for Ando. All in all, a mixed bag, but not an unworkable one. The show is still banished to watching on demand, as opposed to being taped ("House" and "Dancing with the Stars" get the DVR's only two recording slots) but I'm still with it. For now. If they can keep that lens tight, I'll stick around.
