Heh, I'm starting to think I may just be the only person who didn't like this episode. Well. The only person who is not entirely invested in Elle or shipping her with Sylar.

Although I never saw the bridge scene as being the definitive moment where Bennet realizes that he loves Claire, just one of a natural progression.

Which I realize is what I've been implying, but not what I actually meant. Somehow. I mean: I agree with you on the natural progression part. I've seen the bridge scene as a major push for Bennet in the direction of accepting Claire as his own, and loving her, and putting her above that identity as a Company Man, but it's by no means definitive.

And I get the other stuff. I really, really do. If I were a big Sylar fan, I would probably be thrilled by this. Doubly so if I were a Peter/Sylar fan; he saved him from having to kill his father! They might not be brothers after all, or maybe half brothers, but either way, less icky! Hurray! But since I am neither of those things, and evil!Sylar bores me (well, to be fair ( ... )

The people who didn't have daddy issues had mommy issues: Daphne, Sylar, Nathan and Peter have both, poor Micah probably has the weirdest set of mommy issues imaginable. And poor Molly has just about everything issues, in between how her parents died, and the "My Two Daddies" living situation, and now...whatever it is that she's doing. Poor kid is going to end up crazy.

Oh definitely. But you have to remember that it hasn't actually been that long since he's last seen her. I think maybe a week? Which if it's your daughter...yeah. It could be a problem.

Oh god, Micah. That was seriously cruel. And I'm sure Molly is going to end up being a seriously disfunctional teenager lashing out left and right.

I feel like this season has been going on for ages. How long has it actually been? I have no sense of time anymore. But, yeah, he's supposed to be much more worried about her.

Seriously, both Micah and Molly have been through enough suffering to either become superheroes in the Batman mold, or...pair up and wreak terrible havoc on the world ( ... )

Interestingly enough, I'm currenlty listening to the Dark Knight soundtrack. Molly and Micah would fit in it perfectly. They'll be the next generation of superheroes/villains.

Well, it can't be the 6th, because Hiro teleported to New York on the 2nd as it said on his watch when the cop asked him at Isaac's loft. And the explosion was the 5th from what it said on the newspaper (yes, I've watched the scene many times). I think we're still in March then. I'll have to ask what the weather here is like, then. Although I was here in March last year, now that I remember. And where is Meredith? Why do people keep disappearing? I don't like it.

This generation of Heroes should really be keeping better track of those two. Two new candidates for Claude Rain's School for the "Special", methinks.

Well then, it was October 1st. So we're probably still in March, you're right. Meredith got sick of working with Bennet when one of their assignments went bad. It was in a GN but has not been mentioned in the show.

I'm really curious about that.

See, now why do they keep doing that? Just shunting off characters they don't need anymore to the GNs cause they can't be bothered in the show. They did it with Hana, now with Meredith. It's like the government desapareciendo gente.

It's like I have a whole spin-off show planned in my head. I'm going to be so disappointed when I figure out that it isn't real.

What they did to Hana seriously sucked, especially since a lot of her input is what led, in part, to Kirby Plaza and the finale. But they've explained that it's mostly a budget thing: they can't afford to do all of the stuff they want to do, so that's what they'll usually push to the GN. Although Meredith will most likely be back next episode, or so I hear.
