Mohinder expositions again. But at least it actually applies to his situation this time. I still crack up a bit that everyone in India apparently speaks English instead of Hindi in their daily lives.
Eden McCAIN? Yeah... that's not symbolic or anything.
Okay, so Definitely Evil Pixie is powered, then? And "guiding" Isaac in the non-drugged-out usage of his precognition. I'm betting on pheromone control of some kind.
I like how they change the font size for Hiro's subtitles to emphasize certain words.
Okay, so Waitress definitely has super-memory and Sylar (still in the shadows, natch) definitely has telekinesis. Hey, maybe he has a secondary power to always be in shadow. Kinda like Morticia Addams' face is always shadowed except for a strip of light across her eyes.
Why do I get the feeling that one of the people Mohinder knows in India is going to turn out to be a super?
Cool paperweight: DNA helix etched inside a lucite block. And the photo on the back of Papa Suresh's book has changed back to the "star" again. I guess that different photo back in the scene where Peter had a copy of the book was just a continuity goof.
Have we actually gotten a name for FBI Chick?
"what's the bad color?" "Not green." ::snerk::
Aww... Hiro's about to give away his secret to Miss Understanding (the waitress). Or should she be called Miss Remember? In either case, I can't wait to see the square-off between her and Deep Cleaner.
Radioactive Man is looking to commit suicide-by-cop, isn't he? Understandable, considering he's distraught and feeling guilty over his wife's death and suspected of being a terrorist. He appears to have a reasonable control of his power, though. Except for the emotional output, of course.
I liked that they immediately addressed the mysteriously appearing tattoo (or whatever) instead of just letting it linger in the background.
Papa Suresh hides things in odd places: notebooks in disk drives, keys in wallets...
Okay, so is the trip down memory lane "normal" or a power manifestation? Having present Mohinder in a third-person perspective makes it a little odd. And his seeing scenes that he wasn't in at the time lends credibility to the "power" theory. Interacting with those scenes makes it iffy, however.
So Radioactive Man's power progression and Thought Police's power progression parallel fairly similarly. I guess Mr. Bennet and Deep Cleaner did something to amp up their powers. Too bad RM is going to be buried so deep that we're likely to never see him on the show again. Until sweeps week, that is.
So The Face Of Evil is working out of a converted warehouse in Odessa? Okay... Bennet continues to be creepy, however.
Isaac definitely looks better with the stubble. It softens the angularity of his face.
Oh shit. Miss Understanding just got Sylared. :-( Maybe Hiro will go back in time to save her?
Mohinder has a dead sister? Now the question is whether she was powered or not. Papa Suresh definitely seemed to think so.
So Sylar isn't working for Bennet then. Good to know, I guess. Bennet's been tracking and monitoring supers for years? Wow. And Claire was the child of supers as well.
Okay, so Mohinder's dream-child is definitely a result of SOMEBODY'S power, since there's no way that Mohinder could've imagined Sylar's watch.
Persuasion Pixie definitely has some sort of "control" power, which seems to be sonic-based rather than pheromone-based like I thought.
"Head ripped open"? Oh, Hiro's remembering Isaac and is not happy. And I bet this is the first step on him maturing into Future Hiro. Of course, now we have the paradox issues to worry about, with Hiro going back in time to change things.
::sigh:: Can we just end the "cheating wife" storyline? Please?
FBI Chick is way too close to that burning car, especially since she knows that it has to be radioactive as hell.
Ah... so I was right: dream-child is Mohinder's dead sister.
Wait... so Hiro went way too far back in time, did he? That photo of him and Miss Understanding was NOT taken that day.

Date: 2006-11-14 01:02 pm (UTC)As for the Face, yup, the previously always refer to Bad Touch Bennet as "the Face of Evil". At this point, the red herring issue could go either way, since we really don't know what he and his organization are doing, aside from tracking and tagging supers.
Hiro, in my opinion, has on some level been thinking about this entire thing like a video game: difficult, exciting and you get emotionally attached to the characters, but you can always go back to a save point if necessary. Not saving the poker players shook him out of that a little, but having Miss Know-It-All get killed right there broke him out of that way of thinking. He's still thinking in terms of going back to prevent it (he's already doing it to stop the nuke, remember), but now he realizes that it isn't a game. When people get hurt or killed, people get hurt or killed.
