yep! it's why he has at least some small part in all of JJ's shows. it's one thing that redeems Abrams for me. a teensy bit.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. Chuffa, Chuffa!

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
To be fair, a number of the characters (probably more, really) have daddy issues -- Mohinder, Nathan, Hiro (although Hiro seems to have his basically in check, so he may not count.)
Quoth Philip Larkin:
They fuck you up
your mum and dad
they may not mean to
but they do
They fill you with
the faults they had
and add some extra
just for you
(From memory, so forgive me if the line breaks aren't exact.)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Promos notwithstanding, eh?

I just watched the latest ep online, and...
"Oh, my god, I'm feeling sorry for Sylar... what is wrong with me?"
"Wow, Claire and Peter have The Sexy Chemistry. Ack! What is wrong with me??"
"Mmmm. Mohinder pretty. What is... oh, nothing wrong with me."
Definitely a bridge episode - but a good one anyway.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Just caught up on the last two episodes (go team DVR!). The latest one was pretty good, but the 5 Years Later episode is one of the best hours of television I think I've ever seen.
Granted, I'm a sucker for dark AU episodes a la The Wish and the whole AU in Trek (especially the DS9 episodes).

All is well that ends in pizza.
how does he keep recovering from big time blows to the head, and being totured almost to death. (Maybe his TK is cushioning the blows). At any rate he has killed a lot more people than we've seen him kill, so he definitely has powers we have not seen.
Oh my god! He got Giles!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
WRT Sylar's mommy issues, while we were watching, I turned to Daniel and said, "If I had a kid who could fix clockworks, I would think that was extremely cool, and be always telling him how special that is."
Sigh. The world would be a different place if I were GabrielSylar's mother.
But hey, being dead of a scissors-blow to the heart is a good reason to not go to work.

"Wow, Claire and Peter have The Sexy Chemistry. Ack! What is wrong with me??"
Seriously, I just am not feeling Teh Sex between them. Hella familial chemistry, yeah, but no UST. Then again, I didn't start watching until about the time we learned they were related. In fact I started watching specifically when Eccleston showed up, for the purpose of watching him. Therefore, I shall sit in the corner with the other-not-really-paying-attention-to-all-plot-points folks. Or maybe I have to find my own corner.

To be more clear, if I didn't know they were supposed to be related, I would be calling it UST. Since they are related, I'm going with "Aw. Sweet."

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hey, yeah, where's Eccleston?
I know, I know, invisible.
eta: Do you think he gets paid for the past episodes where they alluded he was there but never showed him?
