Though my head hurt by the end, I really enjoyed this episode. First things first, for your episode recap, hit
TVBlend.
Now for the twists, general observations and questions:
* HRG talking on the cell phone to someone who is telling him to keep Sylar alive. So he's not in charge. Who is?
* Loved seeing the Haitian dude talking to Claire and telling her to keep a secret. Obviously he isn't going to erase her memory, and we find out he's been purging her mom's memory for years. What does he have in store that would have him disobey HRG and conspire with Claire?
* Who among us DIDN'T see it coming from a mile away that Eden was doomed? My question, though, is how was Sylar able to get to her, when he couldn't get to HRG? Interesting twist that she turns the gun on herself to prevent Sylar from getting her power after he tells her "you know that can't hurt me".
* I liked the scene where Audrey and Matt are interrogating Peter and they suddenly have interference with each other while reading thoughts.
* Cool scene where DL phases out just in time for the bullet to pass through his head and hit the tire. He still moves pretty well, considering he took a high-powered rifle bullet to the shoulder. Not sure where the storyline with Niki is going, now that she turned herself in to the cops.
* So Hiro fights a dinosaur? "I really need to find that sword"...
* What's up with Peter's sickness and his dreams? First we see him in his cell drive that Nathan visits him, only to morph into Sylar. Then at the end he sees the future and himself blowing up. One observation I had from that final vision is that he only saw him and the other "heroes"... yet we see Simone in it. Does she have powers we haven't seen yet? And why is Nathan the only person in his vision that doesn't look scared of Peter?
Now we are left in limbo until January 22nd to see what happens next. At least it returns sooner than LOST!
