Episode Recaps

Watching this episode, I got a range of emotions.

~*~

Though, I wonder if Sylar didn't get Claire in the original future while was she so bitter in the past. Or was it truly just because Future Peter thought it was ideal to shoot Nathan.

Could he had stopped him elsewhere. And I am sure Angela could have told Nathan too of course, though she did try to hint him.

"If you prusuit this you are going to get yourself killed."

I guess she probably felt being direct was dangerous to the timeline? Whatever! LOL

But wow, did Future Peter make me want to bop him! Good thing Angela told him off a few times. Wow, did she crack me up!

And it's wonderful that her power was finally revealed without a thread of doubt.

Paraphrased slightly, "Who do you think you got your first power from?"

"But Nathan isn't dead." ~ Future Peter.

"Where the hell is my son?" ~ Angela.

Totally brilliant.

That said, Sylar's power of knowing how things work, is sure helpful. He knew about Claire's power the second he took it. How advanced it was. What it meant.

It would be nice if Peter would trigger that power sometimes too. *gasp* Did I say that? I love Peter, but dang, he sure got awfully bitter in the Future, and I though Five Years Gone Peter was bad. Where's the hope? Did Nathan die again? Did Future Peter hint that?

Though, the way Angela was able to get Future Peter to see the light though was genius. She knows just want to say to get Peter to do what she wants. Not completely of course, but when he dropped the word "Claire", Future Peter was most definitely alerted.

"How about you ask Claire how her day was?"

Tracy and Nathan. LOL.

"You think you know me?"

"I would say in the biblical sense."

"I'm not Niki."

I have to say the mystery they set up on Tracy and Niki is definitely interesting.

Nathan probably thinks it's one of Niki's others' like Jessica.

Nathan...that part with the reporters was hillarious.

I have to say I cracked up when Nathan just walked out of the hospital while the reporters were reporting. Ha!

And Linderman! Is he the form of an Angel? Or is Nathan just nuts? He have seen a picture of an airplane and angel in Nathan's hands before.

And the person Future Peter put Present Peter into. Jesse? What the heck does Jesse do? It surely did worry Angela so and Noah didn't even want to tell us what it was.

The part with Kaito's video will was hilarious.

"I told you not to open the safe!"

But of course he did, and of course it got stolen from the speedster. Who exclaims, "You must not actually stop time because we are having this conversation!"

So hmm...he must just slow it that was kinda hinted in Volume 1: Godsend.

Was Ando onto something when he said maybe someone was pretending to be him? Heh. lol

Was that the German that set that guy into flames! Eeek! He seems villianous, but maybe some of the others are not as bad.

Peter being concerned for Elle was kinda cute. Maybe they did bond some. Even though she fried Ricky. Elle isn't really all there either though, and Peter probably realized that.

So my whining about Future Peter aside, this was a great episode.

"My family never felt like my family." ~ Sylar, Six Months Ago.

"Brother vs Brother, almost biblical" ~ Sylar, Five Years Gone

Ha.

I have to say I loved that scene.

"You are not my mother."

"But I am."

Almost possible how he survived the times he was captured by the Company. Angela said Bob protected Elle...

Would clare have survived the train? Would she have been split in two like in Angela's dream?

Oops I can forget Spider-Mohinder. Strength, Agility, is making love on a web next?

And Matt! He realized the crap Future Peter was trying to pull and got sent to Africa. I guess this volume he gets the solo mission for a while like Hiro in volume 2. I did that in a fic once. But it was Peter sending Sylar the middle of nowhere! Ha!

Still I am not sure, I am done being worried about what Angela said last volume. "If you have to stop Peter...bullet to the back of the head..." Even wacko Future Peter, is Peter! *gasp* LOL

Meredith! Where was she hiding? Did Noah go to Mexico to fetch her? Had to feel sorry for Sandra when she called her mom. When Claire called Peter, she well, she didn't actually say Nathan either, she was "Is he?"

Angela and Nathan though definitely made the night for me.

Check out Jesse Murphy's profile on Heroes Wiki. You'll find his ability "echoes" another character's ability.

That was Flint shooting the blue flames.

Thanks for the info. I did that commentary last night, I usually wait, but wanted it to seem more "real". Oh well, it's commentary not recap. And it was fun.

It being Flint makes more sense thanks!

As for Jesse, sound eh? Noah acted like he did something REALLY terrible. Perhaps it was an accident? I don't know. And where is Jesse while Peter takes over.

I wish I had read this last week, although bronchitis kept me from all reality, and Heroes for some time.

As always your words have answered questions i have yet to ask.
