I'm curious how much of the weirdness going on has been picked up by Janice.

Given that she runs out and gets Matt's Al-Anon sponsor, I think she's picked it up for sure. What she might have meant in telling Sylar-Matt, in front of the fire, that she wishes he was more like that, was that he'd been really weird lately and during the love-making he was at least acting decent and stable, or at least focused.

I'm actually glad that the cop is suspicious of Jeremy even though I happen to like the kid. There was a lot of stuff wrong with that crime scene.Yes. And there may have been some good backstory to the situation that we didn't hear. I can imagine Jeremy killing a neighbor accidentally, getting accused by the neighbor's kid, threatened with their dog, Jeremy killing the dog, rumors flying around school, Jeremy killing a gerbil or something in Science class, Jeremy being confronted by another student at school, Jeremy killing them, Jeremy getting sent home by scared school administrators. The police coming round, but since there ( ... )

I notice Claire had someone *else* open #24. She just stood there.

Actor for Jeremy does a fabulous job! Why the stray dog running down the street? Does that have something to do with Jeremy killing animals for fun?

How does Samuel know she's a special? Maybe we've missed another Lydia/Samuel thing. I notice Samuel talks with his hands a lot. That's a good prelude to his sign language later. How does he transport her? Is there another special working with him to do the transport, one that's unseen?

I love Ali Larter.

Samuel really invades people's space. And again, how does Samuel know what is and isn't Sylar's memories?

"That is the second Parkman I made scream today." *cackles*

Sylar is so creepy here and he goes quiet and talks about what he's capable of.

Is it wrong that as I look at the abandoned slaughterhouse all I can think about is "Tetanus! Don't touch anything! God knows what's growing on all that crap."

Don't blame Ashley. I think I'd want to stay by the people that weren't freaked out as well.

I forgot about that guy that Tracy killed. She's actually a good person for Jeremy to talk to.

Why do Samuel's powers never make sense? I'm hoping this is someone at the carnival teleporting them.

The ominous footsteps behind Claire and Gretchen is a nice touch.

Samuel does not pull of the knock-off Johnny Cash coat.

Does that entire family have the same power?

Why does no one ever call Samuel on the fact he's recruiting for a cult?

OH yes! One of the better lines in the whole show!

Yes. They feature in the graphic novels and/or webisodes.

I like this haircut of Janice's. Poor women. She has the patience and endurance of saint. She'd have to to spend 15 years with MATT ( ... )

See, I'm trying to get into writing that out, but...I don't have a topic for the boys to discuss. Maybe you can prompt me? I'd love that. I'm going with Sylar talking about his mom while he and Peter are drunk, Sylar talking about being a monster/not human or Sylar maybe talking about "Well, I've never kissed a guy..." and that leading to a homophobia/M-M discussion and I could work in some "highly regrettable things" :) Once I figure out the topic and direction, I want to write it out, I do. I tried and...nothing hit me. Yet.Day 13 is shaping up to be an emotional roller coaster and they haven't even gotten past lunch yet. :D So ... They continue their current conversation, with Sylar being upset, Peter being sympathetic, and Sylar thinking the sympathy is forced, mockery, whatever and getting irritable about it. Peter tries to be sincere and genuine and Sylar doesn't believe him. They have lunch, tensely. Maybe there's a blow up in here somewhere. Peter leaves. Sylar rethinks the wisdom of pissing off his caretaker/friend and ( ... )

"Ah, there's so much space ..." LOL! Leaving Matt is a very good idea, rather than letting Matt leave her. Because if she leaves, she's in control of when she returns

"your old lady" The implication is that Matt's mother is still alive. I like that implication.

I wonder if Sylar was really put off by the alcohol, or if he was manipulating Matt into getting drunk so he could better take control? I'm prone to think it's real.

How is Noah setting up these false identities? While I can think of ways he could do it (through Company contacts), I wish the show would provide those ways.

I'm surprised their batteries haven't run down.

Why is there a big crowd outside for Jeremy's release? How would they know? Why would they care? Were Jeremy's parents well known?

Also, this is one of the most gruesome ways of killing someone I've ever seen on TV. It ranks right up there with sealing Sylar behind a wall in Matt's basement, except that Sylar survived it.
