Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

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

What, Claire? No big hug? For your puppet master buddy?

Idiot.

If that tree wasn't dead already, it's sure as fuck going to be severely stressed come spring. Way to interrupt the natural dormancy of deciduous trees!

Sorry, I'm only half-watching (well, one-quarter watching), I looked up during the Cello Magik.

Noah, you are still so very badass.

Did we know Noah speaks Japanese?

No, Claire, don't touch him! that would have been so awesome if she deliberately sidelined Peter like that.

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

Oh boy, Hiro's gone kraxy. It's kinda funny. You know, in a sad, "why don't they kill him already" kinda way.

Y'know, I'm gonna give them this one, because Masai Oka did a better job of making that more creepy than silly than I expected.

Did we know Noah speaks Japanese?

Yep, we have since the episode where Matt and the radioactive guy broke into his house.

What, Claire? No big hug? For your puppet master buddy?

Also, I'll admit, I had a moment of sympathy for Doyle. Just a moment.

On the whole, I thought some of the character notes were great, even if the story has me bashing my head in a few places. Noah taking out Edgar was priceless, and the look on Mama Petrelli's face when Peter says that Claire had arrived was chilling. Was even grooving on Claire a bit. You could see where she was coming from.

But then, part way through, Lea said to me, "You know, that cello has me thinking of the White Violin." And I said, "Well, at least they'd be stealing from contemporary references now."

I was joking, but OMFG THEY'RE GOING THERE!!! WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?

Sigh. "Heroes." The show that picks up a random comic and assumes its viewers haven't read it.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

I thought maybe Peter had taken Claire's power before he went off all hero-y and left her holding the bandage. So was surprised when he hadn't. Foolish boy. (I notice that the Emo Bangs are back.)

I'm a little confused about whether Hiro is crazy because of the brain tumor or because of what Random Carny Guy did to his brains. (speaking of the brain tumor, it really hasn't slowed him down all that much, has it?)

Also? They can have shirtless Sylar every episode.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I was disappointed Sylar and Samuel didn't have a bigger fight. Did Matt somehow remove Sylar's fangs?

I forget who's in a hospital in Florida? Mo?

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

Did Matt somehow remove Sylar's fangs?

Perhaps him and Nathan combined.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I forget who's in a hospital in Florida? Mo?

Yes.
