Heroes! Recap and Spoilers

Yesterday, we learned that Claire cannot make it through a single school day without critically injuring herself.

Also, nobody in SoCal knows who Darwin is.

When MEG (Noah) beat up his Dwight Shrute-esque manager using only his finger, how awesome was that?!!

Answer: It was totally awesome.

Mohinder remained refreshingly cool in his white linen suit with a soft lilac shirt. He also answered the age-old philosophy question, "What if you were to give a lecture in Cairo, and no one showed up?"

The new company man is That Guy. You know, the one that's doomed to play nerds for his entire acting career. In Sneakers, he was a toy nerd. In RadioLand Murders, he was a sound nerd. Anytime he shows up you say, "Hey! It's That Guy! He's always the nerd!"

Now he's the nerd with the golden touch.

Boring cop guy lives and is taking care of precocious little precog/visionary/creepy little mental girl Molly. All I have to say is, the creepy little mental girl in 4400 is so much better at this role.

Hiro is still in Japan, where he learns that his hero is actually a drunk Englishman. I'm guessing that this will lead to Hiro being the Hero that he always hero-worshipped, in order to fix history and restore the timeline.

Starfleet Captains can only dream of causing such temporal shenanigans.

They mysterious symbol of strange mystery was everywhere this episode, acting as sort of a black spot for Sulu and Ma Petrelli. It's also the symbol of the new big bad. Which shows up as a pair of evil glowey eyes and "I SEE YOU" growly lines right out of LOTR.

Whatever Sulu's powers were, they did not include flying or invulnerability.

Nate Petrelli is alive and looks horrible with his mountain man beard.

Peter Petrelli is alive and has been taken by Company, or the Irish mob, or someone, and is locked up in a cargo container on the "turd row." This bit of accented dialogue provided loads of entertainment at our house.
