Lately it seems it's been just me posting real-time, but last night I was out hitting six shops for Christmas items. Forgot the show was even on. Made sure I was home on time for Lie to Me, though.

I'm in it for Peter, cuz I am just that shallow. And I do like Emma.

I wish Matt died seasons ago, and wrod to the rehash of the Claire/Bennet love&understand vs. distrust&rebel. Even if part of it was delaying Samuel, although I think he was giving her too much credit on that count.

I think where the show this season went egregiously wrong was not fleshing out Samuel's motivations earlier on. And by that I mean that I still don't get him. My Robert Knepper/Samuel fascination dwindled ages ago, and that's just wrong. I think I have to go watch him getting handsy with Jason Statham to renew my enthusiasm.

I'm with Theo - this was the most fun episode for me in a long while. Plus, "Nathan" is back!

Tracy/Claire hijinks for the win!

Tracy/Claire girl-talk FAIL!

I was about to take serious issue with Hiro letting Mo go down like that.

I keep thinking I am going to get caught up, but so far I have only watched the season opener. The rest sit on my computer for eventual viewing.

Oh for fuck's sake, Mohinder, I think we know what you're investigating leads to. Go home to you oh-so-solid-priorities bride for eight weeks or so. In fact, listen to her. She's as ditsy as you are, but you really DO only make things worse.

OK, Claire and the foot were comedy gold. But what's with the "maybe that's what your body wants you to do?" didn't she learn last week that Samuel was a nut job? You might mention that?

So, can Claire Bear's blood heal Nathan now that we've learnt they didn't torch the corpse?

I'm glad we finally know a little bit about Samuel's motivation. I'm still unclear on his power -- it seems to be like telekinesis but it only works on dirt? And if he gets surrounded by too many heroes, his power will get uncontrollable and the earth will be destroyed?
