I *love* this episode. One of my faves.

Nathan in skeevy Mexico is awesomeness!

Claire...shut up. Not relevant.

"Make some calls. Put some things in motion" -- your phrasing is so typically, disgustingly ambiguous. I notice you're racing for that pay phone, Nathan.

I love how embarrassed yet determined Nathan is.

"its for your own safety" -- neither is your hair, Nathan. Taking windblown to entirely new levels.

Claire needs to learn that "hurt" isn't just a permanent physical damage. I'm waiting for her to get raped or kidnaped and tortured until her mind breaks. Strangely, this would make me happy - its called a life lesson.

I *LOVE* these Peter (and Angela) scenes. Some of my favorite Peter scenes of all the seasons. That God monologue was...ugh! But I'l gush about it later.

GB mentioned some time ago that rain doesn't appear to bother Milo/Peter and I know why: he knows he looks hot wet or dry and his hair just poofs back into place magically. Its part of his superpowers.

So this agent is J. Martin. I, too, find the name cliche and a bit dorky.

Bennet and Danko exchange a look. I like the differentiation between "us vs. them" and "one of us, one of them" but that has nothing to do with tactics - and we can see Danko's are wrong and not working.

Okay, I'm not going to complain about this scene (I love it). I think Sylar has a chameleon ability from a deleted scene in S2 -it basically makes him "invisible" by blending in to the background. Not that that...exactly works here.

I also *love* the music - I would buy it if I knew the names of the club songs.

How on edge would you be having that guy in the back seat of your car, just...having a little conversation. GB also had a theory that Sylar tried to, uh, proposition Danko earlier in the puppetman-present scene. "Let's just say you...fascinate me" and "I can help you [gets closer] if you want. I can find the guy who killed your agents" ties into that! To me, anyway.

Sylar agreeing with Bennet - will the world end? I like seeing Danko's big flaw here, makes him human, makes the story better.

Gotta love fake rain.

It would totally explain some things.

LOL. So true! And yes, so hot. Ugh.

This, a million times.

Which flaw is that?

[means2bhuman]

I'll quote the guy from Inglorious Basterds "You can't catch rats thinking like a hawk. You have to become the rat." Danko is incapable of thinking outside his own box of "this is how we do things, that is all." The same goes for Nathan - their inflexibility. He's asking "How do you work with 'these people'? Trust them?" And Bennet, ever the flexible morally-grey shadow replies, "Oh, you don't trust them. You just harness what's already there."

That makes sense!
