On the stick: it's very likely that Claire's regeneration isn't cellular, but rather triggered by a chemical in the brain whenever something like seratonin is released during pain. If that section of her brain were impaired for any reason, it would make sense that it couldn't trigger her regeneration. And it makes sense for Claire to have a weakness.

That doesn't seem to fit though.

Spoiler:

How did she regenerate her brain? If it works as you describe it, then she wouldn't have been able to come back to life after the piece of wood was dislodged.

There's no beneficial motivation that I can think of which would necessitate this. In fact, Parkman, when asked where he was the previous day, couldn't recall.

If Mr. Bennett were independently working for good, and working to stop Syler, then it doesn't make much sense for him to have Parkman's memory of the Syler erased. After all, wouldn't it be smarter for the heroes to know what they're up against?

Also, Mr. Bennett showed up in Las Vegas. He really gets around, doesn't he? He's been to NYC, L.A., Vegas and Odessa, TX so far. If I had to guess, I'd say he's working directly for this "Linderman" fellow.

By the way, don't be surprised if some of the incidental characters we've met so far don't wind up possessing super abilities themselves. The Asian woman who propositioned Niki to sleep with Nathan Petrelli and who works for Linderman? Ando, Hiro's sidekick? The friendly neighbor girl who's been keeping Mohinder company? The FBI agent who figured out Matt's telepathic skills?
Any and all of them are potential heroes (or villains) as well. Perhaps not in the near future, but maybe by the end of the season or next season.

Spoiler:

Wouldn't it be an absolute kick in the teeth if the friendly neighbor woman that's been helping Mohinder turns out to be Syler? We've only assumed that Syler is male. After all, Syler somehow knew that Mohinder had found "his" base of operations, then stripped the place clean. The neighbor was with Mohinder during the discovery, so that's a perfect explanation right there. She knew all about Mohinder's father and Mr. Suresh was directly responsible for Syler's self-realization. If she's Syler, then she needs Mohinder to help her find the other heroes for her own benefit.

Call me crazy, but this seems very, very plausible.

I could see the father being a good guy and also agree with your Syler analysis.

The streams are only for the US. Us Quebecers get screwed. Just torrent them though. Easy enough to find. www.isohunt.com

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Spoiler:

It's possible that at the time he did not have a sufficiently high level of control over his telekinesis to immobilize them, so he merely slowed down their impact. Other than that, I have no idea. Maybe he ate somebody that has really tough skin (like Luke Cage from Marvel Comics).

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Overall I enjoyed it. I was hoping for a bigger battle scene though. Oh, and I didn't really think that keeping Scylar alive was necessary. Just let the man die.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
