Same with me, but I'm sure there's more to it than that. I have a hard time seeing the writers of this show becoming so lazy that they just repeat powers, especially so early on. With the way powers work on the show it actually makes sense to me that there is a chance of multiple people sharing the same ability. Although there may be a chance that West's power isn't Flight. Perhaps it's something along the lines of Weather Manipulation. That being said Mr.Bennet continues to be awesome, Watch the exchanges between Mr.Bennet and his manager. Yeah that manager thought he's all that, but look into his eyes..... you know he himself. And with good reason his bowels realized long before the rest of him did that no one messes with Mr.Bennet's break-time. It seems like mayas character is somewhat like the hulk. I'm guessing when she gets upset or angry she loses control or something...really sad and I'm beginning to lover her character already. Yeah, Claires new "friend" is a bit annoying and kinda creepy! He didn't bother me that much until I saw him hovering by claires bedroom....that's just irksome. I confused though...Could he hear her as well? Is he some sort of superman? I got the vibe that he was eavesdropping. Sad that Matt got divorced. I thought since they were having a kid, their marriage would have chance to heal. Molly's dreams scare me. I have no idea whats going on in them but the actress who plays molly is really good at portaying the horror in them. When she yelled at matt...wow....those dreams are NOT a joke. And the guy in her dreams is worse than sylar and he can see her when she thinks about him....that is seriously creepy! I wasn't surprised to see nathan or peter alive because of spoiler previews! grr....but I was happy all the same when they appeared on screen( especially peter!) Hiro is just plain awesome. Sad that his hero is a bum. And what is with that symol? It's like pirates and the black spot. Is it just a death sentence in red ink? Because that symbol has been tatooed on Niki all the way from season one. Speaking of Niki, where was she? Micah? DL? They're not my favorite characters but I would still like to see what they're up to. Is DL alive? He got shot and we never found out if he made it or not.

From the looks of it Nikki & Mikah at least should appear in Episode 2. Not sure about D.L.

Maya can host a deadly virus (hinted by the online comics) and it seems that Alejandro was born with some sort of antibodies to counteract the virus as long as they are together.

I'm wondering what was up with Nathan's Two-Face moment

[Luka13]

Who do you think that kid that was with Claire in the first Episode? And he can fly!

[SadPanda]

He's another illegitimate Petrelli offspring....

There's been noise in TV Guide that they aren't running out of ideas for hero-powers, but that circles of people can get similar abilities. West is a flier. This and his holier than thou attitude really bother me. The attitude makes him seem like a poor man's Zach. The ability (which he shares with Nathan) would seem to indicate a genetic link to the Petrellis, but apparently not, because West is supposed to be Claire's first real boyfriend according to the TV Guide piece (I mean a predator like Brody doesn't count, does he?). West's flying makes an intimate relationship with Claire seem wrong--almost Oedipal on her side. On the vanishing wives--both seemed like misfits. We mostly saw the worst sides (unfaithful, judgmental, prejudiced) of Mrs. Parkman, the attorney. As for Mrs. Petrelli--I'm not sure I even understand how the two of them got together in the first place. Nathan is attracted to powerful, strong-minded, dangerous blondes (the Jessica side of Nikki and Claire's biological mom, little Miss Firestarter).

About Kensei--I'd say Jessica's genetic tattoo of his symbol would indicate that our sake-swilling Englishman is, indeed, the hero. Other than that, I'm tempted to say that Hiro might actually stand in for Kensei at the key moments in history. That is, I think it quite possible that Hiro borrowed the alias from his mercenary pal and performed all of Kensei's great feats, only to disappear into the future.

I thought Molly's nightmare man--the one introduced in the finale was the same one who killed Papa Nakamura. I think it's appropriate that Mohinder and Parkman split parenting duties for Molly since the two of them feel most closely bonded to her (having rescued her in very significant and distinct ways). Also, I actually thought that the season premiere was high-quality. It may not have crackled like Company Man, but there was a lot of good, well-executed material in it.

[Tenshi]

I knew there was something up to that classmate of Claire.

I wonder about Nathan's mirror image too. Do you think it's like a 2nd personality, like Nikki and Jessica?

And was the guy who found Peter, the same like Kensei?
I agree with you that Hiro will fight in his place and that he makes history and I have the feeling that Hiro is his own grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-...father. Not sure if that's possible though.

Do they have nothing better to do than producing more and more heros?

I don't think that he appears right in the beginning. It was probably only someone from a higher level in the hierarchy. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was Claire's friend. You know, falling down and flying away.

Yeah, that's what my dad thought....

I thought that the mirror image with Nathan with maybe him looking at peter, or him looking at himself when he took peter up into the sky, or something. I think that it could be maybe a flash-back from tahing peter up on the night that he exploded. Or, maybe not.

Oh, my dad was thinking that the person who Molly was dreaming about was sylar, but I think that it's someone more powerful, like maybe someone you can't see, but he can see you all the time. And he's really evil or something.

And I really liked the sceen with Hiro! That was cool!

It's not Slyar. Molly said it in the last season, that it's someone far worse than Sylar.

[Luka13]

How do you guys like the girl who plays Molly's acting? I myself don't really care much for it; but, I guess it could get beter.

[Tenshi]

I like her better now. In the first season I wasn't sure about her acting, but now after the scene where she yelled at Matt I am sure she will be a great character.

[ParanoidAndroid]

I don't know why but when TIm Kring (the creator) writes the episodes, they also seem to be weaker than others.

And that West guy is definitely another one of Nathan's kids.

Oh please not. I have enough of this whole family businesses. When West really becomes Claire's boyfriend and later it turns out that he is her long lost half-brother, then I wonder if she ever gets to know someone who isn't involved with the Petrelli's or other heros. Poor girl.

[Moriath]

I don't like that West person. He seems to be a poor substitute for Zach. And the actor isn't that great either, I saw him acting the whole time.

Maybe like Fry from Futurama, Hiro will do the nasty in the past-y.

I kind of liked his acting. He's better then Molly to me anyway.

The actress who plays Molly is a lot younger and for her age, she does a very good job, in my opinion.

[RWeasleysgirl]

I'm still on the fence about New Kid myself... I think I like him. I did like Zack, though, I do wish he was still on rather than just having disappeared from the plot completely.

Well put. I don’t know if an episode will ever live up to the caliber and overall awesomeness of Company Man, but I’d love to see them to write more episodes as creative and intense.

I loved Zach. He was Claire’s only friend, and she trusted him. It sucks that the actor had to leave (there was a “controversy” about the character maybe being gay or something, and the actor may or may not have been fired…)

I forgot about that - that was kinda creepy. At first I thought it was a reflection of his inner self or something similar, but now I'm not so sure.

Re Zach - I really liked him too and was upset when his memory was wiped. I'm not so sure I like/trust this new character.
