I agree with everything you said. I love Claire and I think Hayden is doing an amazing job. However, I have a constant fear that at one point in time they will drop Ali Larter - I don't want that to happen! I would be very, very disappointed. So far, there are no signs of that happening, but...

Horn-Rimmed Glasses. :D

I always assumed Heroes fans hated Hayden/Claire but i was happy to learn thats not true at all. I eman sure some do, but it seems like most sites/message boards i go to the fans really like her. 'Save The Cheerleader, Save The World' has to be one of the best add's ever ran.

LOL, I assume he got it because of his glass'? But where did it come from? Seems like something Hiro would makeup. Speaking of Hiro i really never cared much for him in the first season but i came to LOVEhim in the the second season.

I think Claire's boyfriend referred to him as such before he knew who he was.

TVGuide asked Jack Coleman whether it was his idea and here's what he said:

That was always in the script. Tim's original description in the pilot was "an everyman but unknowable." The idea was based on Max von Sydow['s role] in
Three Days of the Condor
, that seemingly benign but anything-but-benign character. I tried on many, many pairs of glasses to find the right look. The thing that's great about them is that they're so anachronistic, they kind of make him into this '50s Cold War warrior, which is perfect because he is this mystery guy who doesn't quite fit in. Putting those glasses on does half the work. They make you instantly suspicious [Laughs], because nobody wears glasses like that anymore.

The full interview.

I hope an unexpected character that comes back is

I am most intrigued by the generational aspect of these abilities and what happens when you start breeding these people with abilities. We see what Nathan and Claire's firebug bio-mom created in Claire. Obviously Angela and her husband spawned Peter and Nathan, Niki and DL spawned Micah, Nightmare Man spawned Matt...... It seemed evident by the end of season 1 that Mr. Linderman was instrumental in guiding these people into each others lives and essentially BREEDING heroes. I thought it was pretty short-sighted to kill the puppet master by the finale with a simple "brain-punch" from DL.

I could see someone else ultimately going mad and becoming obsessed with that next generation like Micah and Molly Walker, because shouldn't abilities only grow more complex and intense with every generation? Peter's abilities seem almost limitless, while Nathan (the much-heralded and prioritized son) seems limited to his flight. Claire is virtually indestructible, and she's (at least) a third generation Hero. Then again, Matt Parkman has shown that apparently abilities can compound over time and explore new territory.

I am ACHING for more details on Nathan and Peter's father, because we know very little about him, his work with Linderman, his death, etc. We also lost track of Nathan's two sons with Heidi (Claire's half-brothers!!!), who left him (off-screen) in Season 2. Do the sons have any abilities as "half-breeds", or might Heidi have been "guided" into Nathan's life too because she has latent abilities? The possibilities are ENDLESS.

It also looked like Claire and Elle were being set up as rivals, so I could definitely see them being revealed as half-sisters through Claire's biological mother. It doesn't seem too far of a leap to consider Elle's electricity abilities being descended from the mother's pyrotechnic abilities...

Are the childrens' abilities a reflection of their parents' abilities? It appears Matt Parkman's are, but Claire's don't seem to be related to Nathan's or her bio mom's at all. But her abilities are connected to Adam Monroe's, so is there a connection there? What about West the flying boy and Nathan having the same power? Is it a simple case of Claire being attracted to someone who reminds her of her father, or is West connected to Nathan somehow?

I could go on forever about this...

Did anyone watch?!

Notables from the episodes:

Hiro and his "match" Daphne

Tracy Strauss and her shocking ability!

Angela Petrelli is running the show!

Nathan's hospital visitor... what's the real story?!

Uh... Matt Parkman in Africa?

Sylar's TRUE lineage?!

Mohinder's unfortunate side effects!

Claire feels no pain...

Who's the real villain? Angela Petrelli or "Future Peter"?

Come to think of it... The first episode was CR*P! Now instead of Japan from the Middle Ages we have Africa, Claire and Sylar scenes were totally stupid, he can appear in any other place but not in that closet Claire locked herself into (yeah, right), the scene between Mohinder and Maya was really lame (yeah, in 5 seconds he figured out that the abilities are not in the blood, but in the adrenaline), the religious references were also totally out-of-place, lame and bordering on offensive (Maya/Mohinder, Nathan in the church — he saw God, God told him what to do, how he woke up from the dead is another story...)...

Hiro running a multi-billion corporation and again searching for a quest... Ando as the traitor (I saw that coming)... Mohinder has abilities (I saw that coming)...

A.p.p.a.l.l.i.n.g.

    • When I was a kid, I would watch DOOL with my mom. I remember Denise as Susan so well. And later, of course, on GH. How sad to hear she has passed. RIP.
    • I have to dig that scene up on YT. I'm glad they gave them some kind of happy ending, even if it was really late. Interesting! I remember Justin and Sarah being involved, but I either forgot or never caught their backstory. The girl with money and social position of course turns out to be Jackie. He sort of did to Sarah what Vanessa did to his brother! I do remember Justin started out as not the greatest guy. Kind of a horn dog. It's only when Ross comes on that he becomes the "good" brother. I only have some vague memories of Ben and Hope, mostly of when they were in a positive relationship. He certainly changed over time. "Chill" would be the way I would describe Ben (along with "handsome but kind of a yawn") for most of his time on GL, so hearing he once had a violent temper is very surprising.
    • Yes. That's called good writing.
    • interesting idea.  That makes sense, as MVJ seems to have set up each character development (traits) for future plot developments.
    • I really enjoyed today's episode. It showcased a lot of the other cast and I saw hints of storyline potential (Smitty & Bill). Martin definitely has some anger issues and I recall him being overly scared about protecting his family and having all the doors locked, coming out of one of his "dreams". There's obviously a lot going on there and I can't wait to find out more. I'm thinking June is going to be more than just the issue story of the week. I think she just might be related to one or more of our main characters. As for Tomas, yes, Alex Alegria is not the strongest actor, but he's pretty to look at and he emotes something. I'm just not sure what that something is yet.
    • No. Absolutely No. I don't know who this is... since it's just some random Twitter quote... But NO. The only parallel between OG Caroline's leukemia and Liam's tumor... is that they are both having cancer. That's it. Other than that... I see absolutely no similarities.  Caroline hid her sickness almost till the last moment. She was also giving the viewers signs that she is not well for days if not weeks before the diagnosis. It was not like Liam... falling down and hitting his head on a table and bam he has a tumor. Caroline's storyline broke our hearts, because of her attempt to live out the rest of her days with dignity and grace. It was written slowly and with care. What we are seeing right now with Liam is the complete opposite. It's begging the viewers for empathy and cheap tears. It's so in your face and trashy... I can't believe they are using cancer for something like this. Bradley Bell should never do terminal stuff again in his stories. It's borderline offensive to people who actually have lost relatives to cancer. To me it is.
    • I was thinking that June could be Kat's mother and Eva is Nicole and Ted's.
    • You won't even miss her because Nola will be dominating the show till Raven comes back. Literally... there will be no boring second. Nola is just starting. You won't believe what will follow. Haha. And then as soon as that storyline is finishing up, Raven is back in top form.
