I was at a Thanksgiving gathering tonight, so I missed portions of the show. I did tape it though, but found the Niki parts relatively uninteresting, and I fast-forwarded- I pretty much don't know anything about her story this week. I suppose I missed a crucial part though- could someone explain the whole Sylar freezing a guy thing? I did catch how he controlled bodies and was invincible though. I also skipped through portions of Mohinder's story- Eden's evil now, you say?
What this show lacks in likeable characters (ie. Petrelli brothers, Niki, Isaac/Simone) is more than made up for in the cliffhangers. My cousin's girlfriend nearly spit out her dinner when she saw Claire on the coroner's table! It's great that there's a limit to her power. I have to wonder what she's gonna do though- people think she's dead, but it'd be hilarious if she decided to take revenge on the footballer.
Still gotta love Hiro. His friend's on for the ride, and I'm totally hoping he won't ever get killed off. The banter between the two and whatever they do is just too good to give up. And I'm liking Matt's story too, and liked the creepy unreadable guy twist in the bar.
Not much in the Nikki department other than the fact that we learn the body where she buried the body's was possibly a member of some gang her husband, DL, was in/lead? The giveaway was a supposed skull ring. That's really it in the Nikki department
I am not sure if her "froze" a guy .. but if you remember Gene Grey and her Telekenisis .. it'd make sense if he had like hardcore Telekenetic powers since he'd be able to move things with his mind .. and stop them .. both inanimate and animate objects. This would explain how he is able to kill people with inanimate objects without finding them.
And Eden being evil is just a presumption .. I think she is to much of a coincidence not to be. She has conveniently "found" way too much. So I think she is a plant of some sort.
Likeable chararacter .. eh .. you need villains and Claire is a likeable character enough
Plus Matt seems really interesting as does Claire's nerdy geeky guy .. who is really cute
She does take on revenge next week apparently. She is fine after the whole coroner thing. She was dead until the inanimate object which was displacing .. maybe a vital artery of some sort .. out of her neck and boom she is back. No way of killing her unless you make sure she is unable to put herself back together. She apparently takes mister horndog quarterback on a joy ride in a car he won't soon forget.
And yes, Hiro is just plain awesomeness in a nutshell!
