How did I KNOW you were gonna say that, lol?! :D

Actually, I though the preview was lame, but that's only cause she's all they really focused on. Guess there are a lot of Chandler Mikes in the world. :)

BTW, I though it was weird that Claire was going to the library, but she didn't take a purse, a backpack or anything else. I know we're discussed plot holes here and usually I just overlook them, but wow. A high school girl NEVER leaves home without a purse, especially if she is going on a date and/or lying to her parents!

Did you watch Veronica Mars? If you did, you'd understand. It's one of the best shows never watched by most people. So underrated, so amazing.

The whole Claire story really bugs me I have to admit. I have problems where people lie about dumb things.

How about tell your dad you met a boy who can fly, who he experimented on and invite him over to figure things out. I dunno, seems to make sense to me.

Trust your dad more than you do you stupid cheerleader :)

Never saw it, but I know you were a big fan. It's all good.

Few high school girls trust their dads more than cute high school boys, lol. :p It's not until later in life when we get a little smarter.

Maybe, but honestly, after what they've been through? I'd think she would be a bit more grown up by now.

Nope. Still a teenage girl, lol.

I don't have any superpowers and I didn't start fully trusting my father until I was out of college. :p

Besides, Claire's father has lied to her numerous times, albeit for her own good, I suppose. Still, I can see why she would be a little worried about trusting him.

I don't trust the flying kid one bit. I believe he was spying on Claire's dad through the window at the end of the episode. My guess is he is using Claire to get vengeance on her dad.

And yes Claire is incredibly immature. However, that has been her character since the beginning.

I love the new hero (Micah's cousin), thats a storyline I like. Whoever had the idea of those stupid twins needs to be fired from the writing staff.

Dude, we share a brain or something. The wife and I think the same, but we're afraid to think too much about it in fear we've unraveled a storyline for an entire season.

It's either that or we're SUPPOSED to not trust him so there's some awesome twist at the end.

I'm with Chris & you, though. I don't trust him one bit. If that is what I'm supposed to be thinking, I'm falling for it hook, line & sinker.

I agree! I loved that show!!


Great episode last night. I too was bummed about Peter not being in the episode. The best part was when Molly told Matt his dad was the man in her nightmares!

Yeah, that was awesome.

Maybe Parkman's dad is killing everyone. That would explain why Peter and Nathan's mom kept telling Parkman to let it go.

Really love this show.

Besides, it appears that their power only works in tandem, so it will be interesting to see how, if he DOES attempt to take their power, how that will work out.
I think the girls power "works" without the brother, but it's uncontrollable. The brother is able to, for lack of a better term, drain the energy from her--and the people who have been affected in the immediate vicinity. She's the power, he's the control. Sort of makes (comic book) sense that the power was split between children sharing the same womb.

If Silar absobs both powers, it should be whole again (and controllable), IMO.

Because the Haitian has a lead on the paintings and they have to go to Odessa, Ukraine. The Haitian also tells Noah that it is going to be a long trip so he'll have to think of something to tell his family .....

..... this makes me think that Noah may not really be "out" of the company ... why the secrets?

I'm certainly liking this season less than S1, but it's not because of the number of storylines--they had that in S1, too. It's that the storylines don't have a common-purpose, yet. Each one is working towards a different goal.

I'm sure that will shift eventually, but in season 1 they set it up pretty quickly that a bomb was going to go off and kill a whole bunch of people. You had people working to either stop it, people that were obstacles to stopping it, and people who were actively working to make it happen. So for in S2, you have a bunch of people working on wholey different things, seemingly without a common thread.

I think Pariah hit on it perfectly. All the characters just seem to be doing their own thing now and I'm starting to lose interest in some of them. Rocky Jr is the exception. I really like his new grittyness.

Or maybe it's because now that I'm caught up I have to wait a week to see a new episode.

Yeah, I don't trust him at all.

She's a bad guy. electricity powers. Not really spoiling anything, because you find that out w/in 2 minutes of her introduction.

Yeah, I already know all that. :)

If Rebecca would get off the damn phone, we'd be watching right now. :|
