Well if it's the same crew who's drauring Isaac's paintings, I'd like to have a looksie.
Edit: They're very nice, all the same I'm confounded by Claire's bit; she did try to kill her rapist in that carcrash, but they retcon it here greedo-style so that she actually wanted him to live (but with life-threatening injuries). Also, she ended up in the hospital, but in the comic she's fine right after the crash.
And in officer Matt's chapter, he takes a patrol car shift hours after punching out his sleezy colleague. Kind of hard to do if you're suspended.

I personally don't watch the show, but I was aware that George Takei is playing Hiro's father now. Someone on another forum posted this screenshot of Takei's character's car:

Yeah I was glad to see Eccleston. At first, I said to myself, "Hey that guy looks familiar." That I realized who it was and I said, "Hey its the Doctor!" which in retrospect is kinda funny since he left the show in order to avoid being remembered only for that role.

He'll ALWAYS be known as the Doctor, at least to genre fans on this side of the pond. In the UK, more have the luxury to have seen him in other roles before Doctor Who...

I LOVED it when the Invisible Eccles Man punched Peter, and when he said he wanted to punch Nathan everytime he sees his face. I can't stand either of those characters.
I noticed Takei's number plate and put my hands over my face. I can't believe they did something so corny!
The revelation about Claire's dad was the only thing I didn't like in this week's ep. I was hoping it'd be someone new, although seeing her mum who has yet another cool power was very good.

I knew it was going to be Nathan. Partly from the shirt sleeve in the previews and partly because they need to start tying the characters together. Officer Matt, Claire and Jessikki still have little connection to the other charcters.
I'm beginning to develop a theory regarding Linderman. He seems to be slowly establishing control over all the main characters. He owns Jessikki's husband, he's blackmailing Patrelli, he has Hiro's sword, he's buying all of Isaac's paintings, and he's blackmailed Jessikki in the past and has now arranged to have her set loose again. I'm thinking Linderman is going to turn out to be the big baddie of the story.

Oh, Sylar's a bad guy for sure. But he's basically just a guy with powers that went nuts. I'm thinking that Linderman is going to turn out to have alot more information on what's going on with the main characters than Sylar does.
I'm also thinking that with Peter on the way to figuring out how to control his powers, he's going to be the one who ends up taking down Sylar. He'll be able to do all the things Sylar can do, but with the addition of Claire's invulnerability.
Last week's episode also means that Claire and Peter are related. She's his niece. No hook up for them I guess.

Or they DO hook up, and subsequently find out. Hilarity ensues!
But most importantly, we discover that Peter's power absorbtion is not temporary, and he doesn't have to scoop out anyone's brains to do it. This makes him the equivalent or better to Sylar; he may even be able to absorb the latter's kaleidoscope of powers.
posted
I think we're all hoping he doesn't. He has that ability to see how complex mechanisms work, so hopefully he somehow studies the brains and then figures out how to recreate their power in his own brain.
posted
That's kind of what I was thinking. Sylar just studies them and sort of figures them out. I'm also thinking that Peter will eventually defeat him by absorbing Sylar's original power, figuring out how Sylar works, then "turning him off".
Of course, Officer Matt could turn him off by mooning him or something, I guess.
Does anyone else find it odd that Matt hasn't interacted at all with any of the main characters yet, other than Claire's Dad? Or did I miss something?
