The Haitian Sensation can apparently dampen people's powers, maybe?

You didn't catch that from the fact that Matt was suddenly unable to hear people when the Haitian showed up at the bar way back?

Mr. Bennet didn't know Claire was special all her life, it seems. Or...maybe he did.

I think it was acting, to a degree. I mean, because of the fact that obviously her powers just really started to exhibit themselves, he probably didn't know what, but I'm sure he's been keeping tabs on her from day one to see what would happen. Papa Suresh may have just confirmed what Daddy already knew.

the OWI

Ha.

And Matt can't read. Which is why he can't pass his detective exams. Yawn?

You left out the part where apparently this is why his powers started to manifest. The stress of being "nothing more" than a traffic cop for 11 years, coupled with the fact that while he knows he's not stupid, he can't express that to other people because of a mix of stupid pride and the knowledge that most of his cop buddies really would be idiots about it.

I feel like an idiot for not realizing Gabriel was Sylar until, you know, ten seconds before they told us.

They spoiled it in the previews from last week, so I can't say for sure I'd have known right off. But I have to say that I was completely and totally creeped out the moment he said that Brian Davis was broken. AND after that moment, I shall never be able to watch CSI without associating it with Heroes. :D

Why do the Sureshes all suck?

Because they are brilliant professors who figure out amazing things about evolution and super powers. It's a bit much for the world to handle when they fall that far out of stereotype. They had to have something to keep the masses happy. :D

Seriously though, I honestly wasn't sure if the hearing the watch be two seconds off was a Power thing or just a Watchmaker thing. I've known guys that knew their thing so well that they almost seemed to have a sixth sense about it, so to me that could have been just a decoy to throw us off the fact that he NEVER had any real powers, just the ability to ... I dunno, find the part of the brain with the power and harness it somehow (eat it, perhaps?) Not having any real powers to begin with and Papa Suresh finding him on a fluke would make him an Ultimate Super Villain. Like Syndrome, only cooler and deadlier.

Also, Sylar? YOU STILL KILLED THE WRONG CHEERLEADER.

Dude. Cut the guy some slack. It's not easy to wander around eating people's brains, okay? Sheesh.

I think the only reason the show felt slow was because there was very little action. I don't think it was a "cracks" thing as much as a necessary evil to make sure the storyline was able to progress without confusion. It will be a disappointment if they continue to have a slow show next week on the "Last Episode Before The New Year!"

I thought it was just that he couldn't read his mi...dammit.

Hm. Good point.

But "IT'S AN EVOLUTIONARY IMPERATIVE!!!" was kind of cheesy, though. Hee. Though, so very comic-book-y.

I'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR YEARS WITH NO- er, what? Who? What's going on?

Yeah, you're probably right.
