I keep thinking that Nathan was obviously scarred in the explosion with Peter. However, he's also been healed, or at least had his visage reformed. I doubt that it's an illusion, since the damage has been hidden in various situations and around various people. This leaves me only one theory:

I think it may be an allusion to the first episode when Mohinder talks about cockroaches being the pinnacle of evolution. Given the way Sylar obsesses about constantly acquiring new powers--"evolving"--the comparison between Sylar and cockroaches makes sense.

Oh man that episode was awesome. Reminds me of the same kind of win that composed the first season.

Kristen Bell is hawt!
I can't believe there's only going to be 3 eps until the end.

Agreed the boobs was there for extra <3

Are you kidding?

That episode was one of the worst I've ever seen!

The time-spans of 4/3/2/1 months ago were completely unrealistic, they should have just done "4 months ago" and left it at that. It took Peter a full month, 30 days, to just talk to Adam?? And then another month before Adam says "you'd better watch out for her, you're in a prison"???

D.L. getting shot was the most incredibly stupid way for him to go. He gets killed by a no-name character introduced in the last 30 seconds and doesn't have the brains to "dissolve" in dangerous areas like that? Really stupid. Really lazy writing.

This episode took away any of the cool build-up of the previous episode. Did we even learn anything new of any importance, like we did in "6 Months Ago" from last season? Not really, this was just an attempt to recycle that idea, and it had no point. Boo, Heroes. BOOOOOOOOO.

But wait! Regarding Adam,



This episode had its moments, but I missed alot of other story arcs that could have really benefitted a flashback.



The last few episodes before the sudden finale better be damn good. But at least from my last post, Tim Kring regonised all the problems we mentioned before, he prob will see these ones too.

And yes, Elle was awesome.

I liked this episode, though like Jazzflight said, the time jumps for Peter were very poorly done.

Well, we did finally receive confirmation that Niki's power is general spirit channeling and not just her sister. It's nice to know that eventually her character might not be quite so lame and useless. That may have already been shown in the comics, but I haven't read any of those.

While the Mohinder/Noah showdown will be interesting (hopefully resulting in one less Mohinder), I'm looking forward to seeing how Hiro travelling back to save his father will pan out. If he actually does manage to stop Kensei on the rooftop it would change a lot of what's happened so far this season. Maybe enough to actually wrap this up well in only 3 episodes.

Uh where in the episode was it implied that Niki was spirit channeling? Seems like old fashioned Split personality to me.

The fact that she channeled some other old friend with no actual powers rather than Jessica this time?

Besides, Bob gave her the same pills as Peter to stop her powers. Why would he give those for split personality disorder? Even if he wasn't lying, eliminating the original cause wouldn't even begin to fix the disorder.

Ok wait, I must have missed something from the episode, where was it indicated that Gina was some old friend she had?

To sort everyone out here:

Gina said she was just the alias Niki used when she hung out in Las Vegas sometime in her past.

Seems more like split personality than spirit channeling.

Niki's power is just super human strenght. The split personnality is just a result of her not being able to accept that power, so she hided it in herself until her mind broke in another personnality that just borrowed the name of her sister. Bob all said that in this episode. even if she can control Jessica, it was just a matter of time before another personnality was created. Like Jazz just said, gina is the alias she use in L.A. that's why Gina wanted to return there...

Oh, gotcha. In that case, Niki's place as the second worst person with abilities is cemented (first place going to Claire's boyfriend). Still, Bob's medication solution made zero sense for treating split personalities.

Sure it makes sense. The pills turn her powers off. With her power off her brain doesn't have to struggle with having that power. So there's no need for a split personality. Get it?

Despite time flaws, the episode was awesome (or maybe it was just Veronica Mars). <3 Too bad there was nothing on Sylar though. We're still left hanging after the most badass line of the season: "You don't understand me, but once I get my powers back and I figure out what the fuck it is your sister exactly does I am going to kill you kthx."

So I guess we're very close to Sylar getting his powers back (assuming he was on these pills too) since it took Niki a few days to gain hers back. Then Alejandro will be totally dead.

I felt this way too. D.L. reflexively phased out when the anonymous guy threw a punch. Why wouldn't he do the same when a gun is pressed against his frontside? You could argue that he wouldn't want a stray bullet to hit anyone else behind him but that's still rather flimsy rationalization. Leonard Roberts obviously didn't leave the show for ulterior reasons, as he was willing to reprise D.L. for the past two episodes (Unlike Missy Peregrym, who played Candice Wilmer and left to star in "Reaper".)

If this is how they're handling pivotal arcs like the deaths of main characters, I can't imagine how sloppily Season Two will conclude.

Just don't kill anyone? *wink*

(Mohinder is such a dumbass..)

Hail Mr Bennet.

I heard there was a rumor that Ali Larter couldn't stand Leonard Roberts and so they decided to ax D.L. Because there is no other logical reason to kill of his character.

Then again:

Ali Larter must want to return to her lucrative movie career making Final Destination 4.

I missed this post earlier, but yeah, that solution still makes no sense. Multiple personalities don't vanish just because a simple cause like her power goes away. Not immediately like they seemed to think, at least. Plus, based on what Jessica said about "their" father, her power was only one of several causes anyway.

Actually, I think that's what the writers were slowly working toward, bringing Elle over toward working for less selfish reasons, if only as an act of rebellion against her father. It's a way of making her more sympathetic to viewers.

Noah Bennet was/is one of my favorite characters, as he seems to be one of the most genuine. However, I was fully prepared to see and accept his death. Keeping Noah alive via this method almost feels like a cop-out, as it grants immunity to nearly any beloved character. It now feels very hypocritical that D.L. was allowed to die in such a flimsily written manner.

I've begun to suspect that the whole plotline involving Maya, Alejandro and Sylar will not be wrapped up this season, as last night's episode didn't touch upon them at all and there's still the whole "Shanti Virus" matter to resolve within two episodes. Personally, I doubt anything will be fully brought to closure in that time. It seems more likely that the writers, knowing there was an impending strike, will end the shortened Season 2 on a powerful cliffhanger, giving themselves some leeway to resolve the unfinished plotlines at a future date.

Lastly, Kaito Nakamura is officially deceased and even Hiro won't prevent it. Is it too much to ask that we finally learn what Kaito's power was? And Angela Petrelli, also? C'mon, this season was supposed to focus upon the elder generation. Throw us a bone.
