Whoa.

Just... whoa.

That was completely unexpected. But very, very clever from a storytelling perspective... there are two ways I can see them going from here with it. It's either going to make Peter and Isaac even greater enemies or it's going to bind them together in guilt. Personally, I'm hoping for the latter, because I think they play well off one another.

I'm getting really impressed with Peter's mastery of his abilities.

On the other hand, I'm wondering how long Mohinder is going to remain so incredibly stupid about Sylar.

The group storming HRG's house was a bit of a shocker, too. I wasn't expecting anything quite so direct.

Did I read somewhere that the actress playing Matt's wife is pregnant, and that's one of the reasons for the on-screen pregnancy?

Nice Stan Lee cameo!

I'm definitely hoping this isn't the last we'll see of Ando (and I don't think it will be), because Hiro really does need a sidekick.

Overall, a LOT of a forward momentum this week and a lot of action. And it's all good.

But whoa... I was absolutely not expecting them to kill off Simone. Especially not like that.

And now I'm off to see what everyone else on my flist has to say about it!

I've been expecting something bad to happen to Simone for a while. Not wanting it to, just guessing from the particular story-telling ruts conventions this show seems to be following.

I love both Hiro and Ando, but I have been just a teeny bit, uh, disappointed, at how literallistically they've made Hiro's story follow Campbell's Hero's Journey. Ando was Hiro's last connection to his old life, so he had to separate from it (technically, if they were following it pedantically, he would have done that before the Atonement with Father incident, but Ando was a vital part of those scenes to show both Hiro's thinking and the interpersonal relationships between the three members of the Nakamura family.

What I keep finding most annoying is Matt keeps doing stupid things that he ought to know better than. Yes, someone needs to confront Mr Bennett, but the way they're doing it, it's just so obviously not right. Although it could be argued that this is trying to show us the Matt is even more flawed than we originally were led to believe. I guess we'll see.

I hope we "see" Claude again soon.
