Since they didn't show the whole thing I was hoping this character that was *supposed* to be so interesting would get a more proper death next week if she has to die. Is Elle really gone?

I noticed them, believe me, but I was also kinda distracted by Elle and Sylar's magic clothing. I mean, one minute they're all naked on the floor (Augh, pasty pasty thighs on that boy!) and the next they're fending off sniper!Noah with Elle in a perfectly buttoned shirt (his, judging by the size) and spandex shorts (?!), and her precious Gabriel in his fully fastened pants. And possibly shoes, but I could be wrong about that. Either way, it makes no sense. Do you really stop to get dressed when someone's shooting at you from across the street? <i>"Am I the only person in America who isn’t all pissed off at my dad for working a lot when I was a kid?"</i> No, but you're not a character on <i>Heroes</i>. Daddy Issues (TM) are pretty much a prerequisite. Either he raised you and messed you up real good, or he was absent and <i>that</i> messed you up in a different but equal way. At least Sylar has issues with all of his maybe-parents and surrogate parent figures. As for the Eclipse of Doom, my most recent theory is that all of the supers are related and they're half-breed Kryptonians. That's why the wildly unscientific lack of sunlight took away and restored their abilities. And how they could all stare at the sun's photosphere without burning up their retinas. Whadya think? Too much basis in fact? You make some good points about the Bennet-Sylar-Elle story, Lisa. I noticed them, believe me, but I was also kinda distracted by Elle and Sylar's magic clothing.

Because that wasn't the FIRST time that such a thing even happened to Claire. There was the drunk guy who tried to rape her on the bleachers in season one (who then chased her until she fell on a stick that got lodged into her brain). Sylar's brain-rape is like a bonus or something. I wonder how many times they're going to tap that well before the show is canceled? (It's not like they started the show with Niki almost being raped or anything. Lesson there: always have a psychotic and super-strong alternate personality around in times of crisis) It did.

Or Hiro can time travel to fix it. Or Claire's blood can be injected to save the day.

Just ask Claire. Nothing wrenches the heart (or destabilizes the gut) like a girl being nearly raped and then murdered. Just ask Claire.
