I kind of liked Tracy's self-serving double- and triple-crossing of the Brothers Petrelli, if only because it showed a female character with some shred of agency, but the fact that she ended up captured and wailing pretty much negated that. Didn't she have some of her (cloned) sisters badassery at some point?

While it's an obvious plot device, I'm glad that Peter can only hold onto one stolen power at a time now. His enormous collection was making him invulnerable and thereby turning him into a know-it-all asshat. I imagine that he'll eventually heal to the point that he can sustain more than one, but I'm hoping this period of diminished ability will teach him a little of the humility that he's lost over the years.

And, yeah, Sylar's "I let you live" line was a thing of beauty. As was Ando's "Hiro is alive because I have to kill him later" glee.

I don't think it'd kill the show, but it might give the network execs a few heart attacks. I mean, they can't let the rest of Prop-8-approving California, let alone the middle of the country, see them condoning the gays. ::grumble::

God would it kill this show to make M & M have a legit relationship? Would it? It would be so very Torchwood and therefore, awesome.

Don't feel guilty. The writers stupidly fell into using that archetype. We must mock them.

And by the way: where did Molly go? Maybe they aren't such great parents. . . .

Lisa: I laughed at the phrase "magical negro" and now I feel guilty. If I have to eat chocolate to cover the guilt, I won't be able to fit into my skinny jeans! So not fair!

Did you notice that after Daphne died there was a little Mohinder/Parkman thing going on? Okay, so it's not like a THING thing, but a very subtle reference to how well they know each other when Peter was giving his Superman speech. I'm willing to grasp onto anything at this point, it seems.

And while Sylar's story is the one that keeps me watching, I can't help but think that Quinto needs to escape this Heroes bs and just stick to space, the final frontier.
