andrasteYou know what's really annoying? Finding out ten minutes before the end of an episode that your download went wrong and having to wait several hours to see the rest.
I was wondering when someone would turn out to have the flipside of Claire's abilities - there's always one - and how great is it that it turns out to be Mr. Linderman, they guy who considers New York getting blown up an acceptable loss? (I am dying to find out what Mama Petrelli's power is.) Now Nathan has to decide if he thinks its an acceptable loss. Faced with the idea of losing Peter he rejects the concept out of hand, but when he sees that his brother is more or less immortal and it may put him in the White House ... well, this is going to be an interesting dilemma for him.
Still in Petrelliland, everyone takes turns at cradling Peter's lifeless body until Claire plays the prince from Snow White and brings him back to life. It's really a good thing that Sylar didn't get the chance to eat either Claire or Peter's brain. I wonder if he is in the Oval Office to eat Nathan's brain in the future? Loved the fact that Sylar's painting style is completely different to Isaac's, incidentally.
Mohinder probably should have solved their serial killer problem while Sylar was unconscious, but I can see how with Peter 'dead' and not knowing when Sylar might wake up he placed a higher priority on destroying all his data. Given what happened, I guess he was too terrified to even try finishing him off. Contacting PrimaTech probably wasn't the best idea he's ever had, either, but I can see how he felt he had to under the circumstances.
Speaking of Primatech, Mr. Bennet proves how cool he is by breaking himself out of jail with just his thoughts, plus a little help from Matt and Ted. Noted with interest that he recommended the cherry pie at the Burnt Toast Cafe, indicating that he'd eaten there before and probably knew Charlie.

It's a terrific twist. Also, didn't you geek out about him stealing Ozymandias' plan?
(I am dying to find out what Mama Petrelli's power is.)
We all are, but those mean, mean writers... Anyway, back then my guess was that it's precognitive/true dreams, meaning Peter absorbed them from her.
Now Nathan has to decide if he thinks its an acceptable loss. Faced with the idea of losing Peter he rejects the concept out of hand, but when he sees that his brother is more or less immortal and it may put him in the White House ... well, this is going to be an interesting dilemma for him.
Nathan Petrelli: putting me through the Londo Mollari effect for the rest of the season. Though I had an educated guess as how he'd finally decide, again due to My Darling Londo. I so felt like Vir during Dust to Dust (you know, in the scene with Lennier and Delenn) in my meta.
On a similarly geeky and sci-fi comparing note, behold the following SW-inspired discussion after this episode was broadcast between me and
Still in Petrelliland, everyone takes turns at cradling Peter's lifeless body until Claire plays the prince from Snow White and brings him back to life.
Have to love the continuity: Claire knew because of the twig in her head in episode 3, of course, but nobody else did, so this made utter sense.
Also, both the cradling and the later "I don't know who I'd be without you" makes me into a puddle of emotional goo each time.

It's not like he had many options. But he's such a villain magnet...

A priceless trio, and Mr. Bennet is the coolest. That's how prison breaks should be done, Blake and Avon; you should take notes.

Date: 2007-06-30 04:26 pm (UTC)The shift in tone in the Peter-Nathan relationship was especially interesting: they barely touch in the post-resurrection scene, which is very unusual for them. It's almost as if Nathan's afraid of what Peter's capable of, and afraid of what this might mean for him and his future, too.
And poor Claire--what a day to meet your biological family. At least she got a crash course in how to speak Petrelli.
