(Part 2 of 2)
HRG- I’m glad he’s not dead though I find it ironic that he was shot by Mohinder, his would-be partner. I have to wonder why the late Ivan was so keen to get him back in the Company and also if anyone besides Suresh knows that he’s not dead. I doubt Suresh could have moved him alone or that he could get access to Claire’s blood without at least Bob’s approval. I’m also wondering about the deal he speaks of in the preview.
Mohinder- I’m getting annoyed with him. He’s such a sheep, a brainwashed sheep. Saving Niki is noble but the rest is being a zombie slave. Maybe Sylar’s visit will wake him up. I am glad however that he found a cure for the virus. Now if he could find a cure for Strain 138 would be great, but right now I’m aggravated with him.
Micah- I like that he embraces his power and wants to be a hero. He makes a good team with Monica though I wish there had been a safe way for him to warn her about the return of the thugs.
Monica- I like that she has embraced her gift but I don’t like the fact that the thugs got her. I’m still worried about what else Bob may have put on her i-pod. It very much looks like she will become the “St. Joan” predicted by Isaac’s comic book, but right now things don’t look good.
Nana- I’m glad that she stepped in and told Damon he had to talk to the police. Damon is being a jerk and I’m amazed he hasn’t learned to respect his cousin, especially after Micah got him pay per view. I hope Nana keeps a tight reign on him.
Niki- I like that she was honest with Micah about the virus and the other personalities. I’m not so happy about the fact that she’s afraid to do some thing positive with her power. I wonder if the virus has nullified it. Granted DL died rescuing her but he made a great firefighter and even saved a life without endangering himself there. I have to wonder if the Company didn’t brain wash her like they did Mohinder.
Maya- While it’s a good thing she can control her power now, I wonder how much longer Sylar will keep her around. I know she’s fallen for him, which explains her inability to see Sylar for what he is and that he is using her.
Sylar- Looks like his intuitive aptitude still works either that or he has a psychology degree. It’s interesting that he tells the truth to Maya about his mother’s murder. He has done a lot of horrible things but I don’t think he meant to kill his mother last season. I do think that was accidental. I know he’s using Maya but I have to wonder if he’s developing feelings for her. How will he explain to Maya that it’s Dr. Mohinder Suresh he’s brought her to see and not Dr. Chandra Suresh?
Alejandro- It very much looks like he’s dead, unless he’s yet another special who can heal himself. He saw through Sylar but not far enough. I don’t think he hated his sister but may have been angry with her for killing his wife. I wonder if Maya had told her brother about the fact that she had caught his wife was cheating on him with her ex boyfriend.
Hiro- I like him taking initiative but I wish he’d get more facts before he acts, like why his father didn’t order Strain 138 destroyed. I know he wants to avenge his father’s death but I don’t think attacking Peter will help matters.
Kaito- I had wondered how they would show him in the past, given that it wasn’t a flashback. I’m wondering why he didn’t just destroy that strain of the virus. There were other not so dangerous strains, so why keep something that dangerous and incurable around.
Ando- I like that he’s back with Hiro. They make a great team. “Why is saving the world always your responsibility?” was a great line. Last season it was “I wish destiny would lose our number.” I like that he’s cautioning Hiro as well as working with him.
Claude- I’m wondering if he knew about the virus. I know he knew about the Company doing less than ethical experiments on specials (heroes); he’d said as much to HRG before HRG shot him. Did those experiments involve the virus or was all that as shut down as Bob claims it was? In any event, I miss him and wish he’d return and I also prefer that he not get the virus. Maybe he could wake a few people up. I have to wonder how he’d react to what happened to HRG.

(Warning Spoilers thru episode 10 of season2 and Graphic Novel 61!)
Peter- It’s noble that he wants to save the world and that he hasn’t abandoned Caitlin, but he’s just blindly following Adam. It’s very in character for him to tell Victoria exactly why he’s come to see her. Last season Peter trusted Hiro enough to kill him to prevent him exploding. Now it seems he’s willing to fight Hiro to protect Adam. Granted, he did try to talk to Hiro but a fight looks inevitable. It looks like he did time travel to 2007 again at the start of the episode. What keeps pulling him back to the present and why is it always about the same point on the same day of 2008?
Adam- After the graphic novel, I have to wonder if he hasn’t gone insane after 400 years, or could it be that he seeks the mutated strain of the virus so he can finally die? Granted he’s getting revenge on the Company founders, but this may just be him putting his affairs in order. The only other likely scenario is that he’s gone insane and thinks he’s a god. I know his original plan was to release the virus much like Linderman and his plan with the bomb. I wonder who was aiding him back in 1977. Was it Linderman? I also have to wonder at how he and Peter just walked into Primatech in Texas. As I recall, Matt and Audrey had a much harder time even with the FBI force.
Victoria Pratt- I have to wonder if she had a power. There wasn’t as much of her as I’d hoped to see in this episode. At least it’s now revealed she was a biological engineer. It’s also revealed she went against the Company and refused to do further research. I have to wonder why the Company didn’t pursue her and exactly what role Angela had in helping Victoria get to Maine. I wonder if she was really going to shoot Peter in the head and how she knew that it would kill someone with Adam’s gift. Sandra- I like that she pulled the gun that Noah had left on Bob, though I doubted she’d shoot actually Bob unless he went for Claire. It’s interesting that she let Claire scatter HRG’s ashes. I think she’s stronger than she lets on. How will she react to the news that Noah isn’t really dead?
Claire- I’m wondering exactly how those wind chimes work. I’m also wondering where the Haitian went. If Claire winds up as long lived as Adam, I worry about what might happen to her. I like that she got to scatter HRG’s ashes (even if they weren’t really him). I like that she didn’t run from Elle but confronted her. The punching the car window was a nice touch. I’m wondering if she will repeat what she said in her eulogy to HRG when he returns next episode.
West- I like him talking Claire out of calling the Haitian and it looks like he honestly cares for Claire but I just can’t shake the feeling that he has some hidden agenda of his own. I’m also curious about his speech to Claire and where his parents are. Did he lose his dad?
Bob- I’m hating him more and more each episode. I saw the blatant manipulation he did with Elle. He talks of responsibility and trust. He takes no responsibility and I haven’t trusted him since I first saw him. I doubt he’ll do as Mohinder asked. I get the impression he’ll only keep Mohinder around as long as he has to.
Elle- I still don’t like her but I do feel sorry for her because of what Bob pulled on her this episode. I wonder if this is how her whole child hood etc has been. I wonder what she will do now that Claire has confronted her. It would be nice if she turned her back on Bob the Company and joined Claire.
TO BE CONTINUED...

(Warning Spoilers thru episode 9 of season2 and Graphic Novel 60!)
Elle- I still don’t like her and I don’t feel sorry for her. What was done to her was awful but that does not give her or anyone else the right to be so sadistic. Others have suffered as much if not worse than she has and aren’t tormenting others with their gifts. Now if they would show Elle honestly worried about someone other than herself or doing something decent and not treating everyone like objects, maybe I’d feel sorry for her. Right now she reminds me far too much of someone I despise in reality, though fortunately he can’t throw electricity. I will say this, although I don’t like this character, I’ve recently seen Kristen Bell OOC and this is a credit to her abilities as an actress.
Bob Bishop- I know his last name and that he’s Elle’s dad…and I’m really starting to hate him. What he did to Elle, his own daughter, is inexcusable and I hope Adam gets him. I knew there was a reason I didn’t trust him. I’ll bet he put subliminal crap in that i-pod he gave Monica too.
Claire- I like that she wants to help, even as nasty as she believes the Company to be and as nasty as Bob and Co. have been to her. I feel badly that she believes her dad is dead and that her last words to him were “I hate you.” I so hope that they are reunited, soon!
Noah (HRG) - Sandra actually used his first name! I like that he finally showed Sandra the painting and came clean with her about West. He should have done so sooner. It’s ironic how it’s Claire’s blood that brought him back. While I’m glad he’s not dead, I have to wonder what diabolical plans the Company has in store for him. (and where did those ashes come from?)
Mohinder- While I accept the fact that he’s supposed to be one more at home in a lab or a classroom, I’m starting to lose a lot of respect for him. I almost wish HRG had shot him.
Matt- It’s nice that he’s advancing his powers and trying to do good with them, but he’s skating a thin line. I really hope Matt doesn’t become another Maury.
Molly- She’s cute and I’m glad she’s sleeping well and nightmare free (wish I could). She used to creep me out a bit, and now that “nightmare man” isn’t plaguing her, I have to wonder if that wasn’t due to him as well.
Hiro- I really enjoyed the interaction between him and Kaito. I wish they’d shown us what Kaito’s power was. I do like that Hiro got to say goodbye and didn’t fracture time in the process. I also like that he did stay around to find out who killed Kaito.
Adam- Now it’s confirmed that he killed Kaito but we don’t know why. Was it revenge on Hiro, or was it revenge on the 12 for imprisoning him for 30 years, or was it both? Is he as bad as Bob said or does he still have good in him? Interesting back-story in the Graphic Novel.
Angela- I like that she finally shed light on matters but Matt had to push her to do so. I still want to know what her power is and how she can fight Matt. What she has suspiciously looks like manipulation.
West Rosen- I like how he tried to help both Claire and HRG but I still don’t trust him. And where are his parents? Why haven’t we seen them? At least we have his last name now.
Subtitles- I don’t mind them but I do wish that the 2 screen would not ask questions while they are on. I can’t read both!
Claude- Wherever you’ve gone I miss you and wish you well.

(Warning Spoilers thru episode 8 of season2!)
Maya and Alejandro- their back-story was interesting. I really didn’t like Alejandro’s wife and her “ex” boyfriend. What amazes me is that Maya saw right thru her would-be sister-in-law and yet has fallen for Sylar’s charms. Yeah, I know, some will say “It’s Sylar, he’s just that hot!” Sorry, not me. I’ll take Claude any day!
Peter and Nathan- I had wondered, especially after seeing the 360 video, who caught whom. What’s amazing is I know of an online RPG that played out similar to this. It was amazing that accelerated healing can counteract the Haitian’s ability, and allow Peter to regain his memory. Looks like Angela didn’t fix everything after all. As for Nathan I thought he was very brave and noble. I like that he was honest with Heidi, but it bites that Angela had to go and start trouble. Just what is Angela’s power? Manipulation? I know a guy she ought to meet if that’s the case! And now the reason behind Nathan’s scary reflection is revealed. As for Peter, I know he wanted to do the right thing but having someone like Elle playing around would have made me skeptical. And while I’m at it…
Elle- While I’m sure Kristen Bell is probably a lovely person, I cannot stand the character she is playing here. The more I see of Elle the more I detest her. Supposedly, we were supposed to feel sorry for her, but to be brutally honest, even after that “sob story” she told Peter (which scored no points at all with me), I want to see Elle die. Maybe she could meet Maya alone in a bad mood. At the very least, it is her who should be locked up and not Peter!
Bob- I really don’t trust him and I’m starting to dislike him. I keep waiting for the horns to pop out. How could he hide Peter’s survival from Angela, like that? I know he paid for DL’s surgery but he also let Elle torment Peter and treat him like an object. Why on earth did he assign Elle to give Peter meds?
Niki- I felt bad for her having trouble with the meds. It’s not easy to find meds that work and don’t have massive or bad side effects for any problem. I wasn’t expecting a new alternate personality. All this time I’d thought it was Jessica but it looks like it was actually Gina. Nice acting on Ali’s part. Though, I still don’t get why Bob lets her go at the end. Is he as evil as I suspect? DL- Nice to see him back. It bites that he died and how he died but I do like the fact that he got to be a hero both onscreen and in the graphic novel.
Adam- I know what we saw of him as Gaijin-Kensei was often far from heroic, however, given that I don’t trust Bob, I have to wonder if he’s as bad as Bob has painted him. Given that Adam is long lived as I’d suspected, that would be an awfully long time to hold a grudge. I have to wonder if time cooled his anger as well as the fact that he would have outlived Yaeko by centuries. I know that Peter trusts him. After all, Adam did make good on his promise to heal Nathan. Granted, I don’t exactly trust Adam, yet…
The Haitian- He had an interesting twist. Now we know where Peter got both his amnesia and his new necklace from, and how he wound up in that container. As for the missing I-pods, it looks like they were never packed, or someone nicked them on this side of the pond. But I still don’t know where the Haitian got the virus from.
Claude- If ever there was a time for him to resurface, it would be now. Peter wouldn’t need drugs or amnesia; Claude would make sure “Poodle” had control. I also miss Claude, a lot.

Call me obsessed or crazy or just a nutter, but that's what gets me through a tough night at work. I take a moment and glance over at my small collection of pics that I keep at my corner of the nurses' station an it's a nice pic me up. I usually don't have time for a proper break. Now granted I have changed the set up a bit, since I last posted. For one thing, the bear isn't there; that was just for the one day. The pic of Claude with the pigeon is still there (sans caption) as is the photoshopped one of me with Claude:
And I added this one (also sans caption):
I had so hoped to see Claude appear this season, but I guess that won't happen. :(
So yeah, I'm upset. :"(
