Possibly this is the low-grade fever talking (sorry for any viruses I may have spread at Thanksgiving; alternatively, if any of you passed this along to me, for shame; I love you, but you people are like kryptonite to my normally impenetrable immune system), but I'm at irritation saturation point with the stupidity.
Can we put Maya out of our misery? Please? I don't think she can get more stupid and gullible. Ditto with Suresh ("You promised me...!"). Do we care if Caitlyn ever gets back from the future, bad accent and all? No? And Peter: get with the freaking program and start fighting the good fight already.
What I just noticed, though: the ticking when Sylar was on the screen, like a watch or clock.

Sorry to hear about the illness. Half the office appears to have caught something at Thanksgiving and I'm working furiously to avoid the germs: using hand sanitizer, opening doors and pressing buttons through my shirt cuffs, and trying to keep a three foot zone of exclusion around my body. So far so good, but I am feeling a bit congested nonetheless.
Personally, I liked the episode. Sure, it isn't up to it's previous season, but it's getting better. Once Sylar has his powers back, there should be more tension infused, and hey, at least one of the blunder twins was killed off. I think the blonde-on-blonde catfight could have been more exploitative than it was. And aren't you curious as to which two heroes will die? I'm guessing the copycat girl or Nikki and (fingers crossed) black-eye death woman.
Good luck with the germ avoidance. That's quite the endeavor. If I catch any tips from the expert here, I'll be sure to pass them along.
Yeah, I'm anxious for Sylar to ramp up to his full evil glory. He's always more fun when he's sucking out people's brains (preferably among the snow globes).
Do you mean the muscle memory girl? I hope she's not going anywhere. I think she's going to be good.
You were holding out for more exploitative? I did like how Kristen Bell got stuck there with her big gulp.
I guess I'm kind of curious who will die. Definitely Niki, I say. One hopes, the remaining twin. Molly? Does Caitlyn count?
Oh, on the self-healing people: beheading kills them? Okay, but didn't we establish last season that there was a spot in the back of the head that could do it?
Nikki? Theories? Who do you think is going to die?
Well, I still think it will be Niki and the other twin who bow out next week. Regarding the whole "cut off the head" solution to self healing, I don't buy it. Wouldn't setting off a nuclear explosion from within your body necessitate decapitating yourself? I mean, you would basically be atomized. If you can recover from that, regrowing a head shouldn't be a big deal. Personally, my feeling is that Victoria was misled in believing that separating the head from the body would kill Adam (perhaps she watched Highlander too often?) and Adam just borrowed her mistake as an excuse for shooting her so that Peter wouldn't get suspicious. Yes, the only thing we know is that if something impales itself in the back of their head, that prevents regeneration, at least until the object is removed.
Why is Peter so trusting of Adam, particularly after speaking with Hiro? You would think he would be a bit wary and not take everything at face value.
That makes sense on the head thing, but I still think you're giving the writers too much credit.
These are my thoughts (I had to re-watch it because I had missed a few things):
They made a point to give two dates in this episode. The day Victoria got the Shanti Virus from Shanti - Valentine's Day 1977 and then the signed document by Hiro's father to lock Adam away is dated November 2, 1977. Why are these dates significant?
If Niki has the virus and can't make anyone else sick how does the virus end up spreading?
What is Victoria's power (doesn't everyone in the photo have a power)?
It's so totally obvious that Adam let Victoria go just so she would fight so he could kill her. How could Peter not see that?
I agree with Toby that it will be Niki and Maya to die. Niki will have to go kick those kids ass who kidnapped Monica and she'll get shot or something and I bet Sylar will kill Monica to get her power.
Also, the relationship between Elle and her dad is kind of strange. The way he asked her if she could regain his trust was weird. For some reason I think she may eventually rebel against her father. Maybe she'll join ranks with Claire just to piss him off.
Where is Parkman? Why isn't he with Molly? Did I miss something? You don't just leave a 10ish year old home alone.
Sorry all of my thoughts are so fragmented. I wrote this list while I was re-watching.
I wondered on the spreading of the virus as well with respect to Niki: how does it become contagious?
And good point: would Molly be home alone? Seems unlikely. And Maya, sitting there grinning while they held a little girl hostage? Seriously, how stupid is she? Or is she embracing the dark side, because she thinks she and Sylar are two killers in a pod?
Is Victoria a hero, or is she just a scientist? I got a sense she was heading up the R&D, there for her skills.
Elle and her dad have a completely twisted relationship as a result of her being a lab rat her whole life. They're what Claire and Noah might have been if he'd stayed with the plan. So Elle will resent Claire's life, normalcy, and freedom--an interesting future dynamic. Ah, if anyone else were Buffy fans, this is totally Buffy and Faith.
