'The Killer In Me'

Casting on older Charlie was excellent.
I love K Callan, and she did a really great job sounding like Charlie.
I thought the finale was mostly very boring. Claire was definitely acting stupid at the end, but I loved the call back to her earlier videos.

Yes, I really enjoyed that. Also very much liked Charlie's life w/o Hiro. Kind of meh on everything else, though I feel like they are well positioned for next season, if there is one.
I take it that I'm the only one who believes -- while admitting it was melodramatic -- that Claire was right to out the fact that "specials" exist?
Yes, I think so - the only way for perceptions to change is for everyone to see that the "specials" aren't necessarily scary.
I don't think she was wrong, exactly. There was that whole dystopian future with Hiro and Peter both getting really hot that supposedly results, but (a) she doesn't know about that, I don't think and (b) I wouldn't mind seeing some more of that.
Also, it would be nice if this why saving the cheerleader saves the world. Because she needed to be the one to do the reveal, on account of the cute and non-threatening, maybe.
It seems like there was a critical mass on that side (with the carnival crowd ready to come out), but her decision seemed largely selfish, rather than really thinking about the larger Special community. Given the Lesson that Hiro learned this episode, that seems like an important point.
Also? I don't think Indestructo-girl is the power to start with. Not that most of the others are less scary...I suppose at least super-healing is fundamentally a defensive power.

I think it was right both plot-wise and, um, ethically?
The things that go bump in the dark aren't always so scary in the light.
I agree that it was selfish, but it was a good kind of selfish. It was a "this shit has to change or I'll go nuts" rather than a "I CAN HAZ WORLD NOW!!!!".

More later, but consider this: everyone else was making the decision on how she's to live her life for her. I'm afraid I can't hold with that.

Has she now made that decision for others? The specials can continue to hide their abilities, I suppose. But, if they do something by accident, they're pretty much outed now. Hard to come up with a cover story if the world knows specials exist.

This is good, I think. People could be wigged out by her ability, but not threatened by it. She can't hurt them with it.
