Heroes! *Spoilers**

Heroes--Promoting literacy through liberal use of subtitles.

In this episode, we not only had Japanese and Spanish speakers, but also some basic French as Mohinder poked through some Haitian housing.

The Haitian is back!! Yeah! Combined, once again, with Mr Bennett to bring back the evil cool.

Sorry That Nerd Guy, evil cool is just beyond you. It's not your fault. At least you have a nice evil study.

Boring psychic cop guy used his powers to trample all over Ma Petrelli's civil rights, and now I hate him even more.

Of course, our favorite ice queen not only lawyered up, but delivered a bene gesserit worthy mental smack down. Take that Mr. Thought Police!!

Poor Ma P. Not only did she get the red spot (the mysterious symbol of strange mystery is no longer mysterious or strange, alas) but was being killed slowly and painfully while trapped in the police interrogation room. Sulu just got pushed off a roof.

Yeah she got saved, but it still seems unfair. Although if she hadn't survived that would've been a wicked locked room mystery. Requiring the detective skills of either Sherlock Holmes, Mrs. Bradley, or Batman.

Not Mr. 5th Amendment? What 5th Amendment?!

Nate put on his lawyering suit but he still looks like the unabomber.

In an attempt to fix history, Hiro became his hero. I totally called it. He also had the best line of the show. "You should write this down in your history books! Battle of the Twelve Swords is a good name!"

Peter has spent the last four months hiding out in a gym. That's my guess anyway. He looks good with his shirt off.

He still has amnesia, but thanks to his Rescue-the-Damsel impulse, he now has access to his buffet table of powers. He's also in with the Irish mob. So that's nice.

There's still no sign of Jessicki, although Peter had her strength and her husband's phasing powers.

Molly the Moppet slept through this episode.

The wonder twins are almost to Mexico. It turns out that when separated from her brother, the girl goes into Inky Black Eyes of Death mode, killing anyone near her? Or possibly anyone she touches? But her brother can cancel her power out and/or restore the recently dead by ink.

So I guess as long as they're together everything should be fine.

Must make dating awkward.

Claire has taken up herpetology. Also, I hate to be a Debbie Downer here, but I refuse to believe that you can cut off a toe with a pair of household scissors.

When her pinky toe flew off, arcing through the air like a tiny pink dolphin, my only thought was "If Mr. Muggles runs off with that sucker I'm going to puke." Fortunately, my DVR cut off right after her toe grew back, so I was spared any pinky toe-dog shenanigans.

the toe thing was gross, but there were no dog-eating bits, thank goodness! But the guy saw her! The guy from school was totally watching in her window and SAW THE WHOLE THING!!!

so then he runs off and she chases him but she gets to her driveway and he's gone and there's just the book laying there and mr. muggles is totally barking and jumping UP and she totally cannot hear me screaming at her "look UP YOU IDIOT!!"

anyway. it was the first episode i've seen since 1:2 and it was very exciting.

Oh MAN!! My DVR cut off ALOT! I see that I'm going to have to start taking Mr.Creepy Stalker Flyboy a little more seriously.
