"This season seems to be about the heroes doing all the wrong things. The worst of the bunch are Claire and Mohinder. They drive me batty. I'll have more to say soon."

In Mohinder's defense as a geneticist he is ill equipped to handle all of this subterfuge. Claire on the other hand knows better and it's driving me nuts that she is being so reckless. The guy who plays West is only contracted for a certain number of episodes so I don't think he's going to be sticking around. TV Guide also confirms my theory that Christopher Eccelston is too in demand to return as Claude this season. The producers jokingly said they are going to try to bring him back in season seven.

"I think it's definitive that Maury killed Kaito. Maury made Kaito think a hooded person was there where no one was and Kaito fell off the roof."

The newest TV Guide reveals whether it was Maury or Adam who killed Kaito. I'll tell you if you want because it's really not that much of a spoiler when you've narrowed it down to two people who are working together. But I thought you should have the option of wanting to hear it or not as a courtesy.

"Nice theory about the Adam-Claire relation. Sounds like a good excuse to bring the mother back on. But then again, West and Nathan, not related. If they are, very wrong of the writers."

Flying seems like it would be a more common type of power while being indestructible seems like the sort of thing that would travel in families like Matt's power. We'll see.

"It seems Adam has the God-complex and found a new toy named Peter to use as his weapon. Now that's a villain. Can't see how they can top that unless they push the fictional aspect of the show (giant honkin' rampaging monsters, demons)."

The season was starting to suck and it's a good thing they turned it around. MUCH better than the last two weeks. Adam Kensei is a great new villain.

It could be either way, Maury's mind tricks or the fact that Adam could heal and walk off. I'll wait.

They seem to be doing the same thing with Hana Gitelman in the online experience.

Agreed. It sucks that the WGA strike is cutting the season short. I heard it is likely that after the 11th episode airs, the season will end rather than go on hiatus since the last strike lasted six months. The Origins spin off is also shelved. So I suspect the last four episodes will be as great as this one was.

I hope so. I hope the strike doesn't last too long or worse yet cause the show (and potentially Lost) to be canceled. I know that's a total worst case scenario but reality shows are much cheaper to produce and don't have a union. :(

I heard Lost is pretty much done (at least 8 are completely done) and unaffected by the WGA but I have to look at the current news.

I heard that Lost wasn't going to be filming any episodes past those eight. Makes sense because all of the producers are in the WGA. Hopefully they will just hold off airing the eight until the strike is over. Leaving things off in the middle of the season again would be disastrous. The best case scenario in my mind (besides the strike ending today) would be for ABC to just let the producers do two 22 episode seasons like they originally wanted to starting next season. Yeah, it will suck having Lost off the air for a year but I think a hiatus between seasons could strengthen the demand for the show while a hiatus MID-SEASON would lessen it.
