Andraste

OH MY GOD! Best episode so far!



Awwwwwwwwww. Hiro and Ando have a fight and Hiro is jealous of Ando's online stripper. So Ando goes off to see a woman he knows on the internet and Hiro fanboys Nathan Petrelli. Which was the cutest thing ever. I think my favourite thing in the whole episode was Nathan's landing - he can fly like a jet, but landing without shoes in the desert is still no fun. (He must have been getting cold up there, too, with only his pyjama bottoms on.) Meanwhile, Ando has an incredibly sweet and sad moment with Niki.

And then they have to get back together, because Hiro may be able to bend time and space, but he can't drive. So, so adorable.

Elsewhere, Mr. Bennet proves terrifyingly awesome as he deals with the guy who tried to rape his little girl. And I say again, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy than Brody.

I'm wondering now about the exact nature of the Haitian's powers - obviously he can wipe memories, and apparently he could block Matt's telepathy as well, at least to some degree. But he's not an all-purpose power suppressor or Nathan wouldn't have been able to just fly off. Maybe he's just a way more experienced or more flexible psychic than Matt.

I can definitely see why Matt is tempted to use his powers to impress the hell out of his wife, but I cannot help but think that this is going to come back and bite him later. She's probably not going to be thrilled to find out that her husband actually has been inside her head.

Other things that were great: Peter finally proving that his powers are their own kind of awesome, and Nathan reacting to blackmail by demanding that Mr. Linderman double his campaign contribution.

I was wondering if the only reason Peter managed his stick figures was that the hospital had given him painkillers, but I guess it's only Isaac who need to be high to see the future. Maybe it's psychosomatic, at that.

In conclusion: Hiro and Ando are love.
