better late than never  
Previously, on Heroes...

* Aqualad is still in the closet, so to speak.
* Albuquerque? Shouldn't he, you know, go someplace near water?
* "You're not Harriet Tubman, Claire." -Alex
* Mr. Muggles, the narc.
* A one-bedroom in Dupont Circle? I guess they do pay well.
* Matt and Peter, public enemies #1. Shoot to kill!
* "What makes you think I won't kill them myself? -Mr. Bennet
* Painting the same image over and over.
* "One life at a time." -Matt
* OK, Rebel has to be Noah or Micah.
* They only sent two agents to take on Matt and Peter, who we just established were public enemies #1?
* Alex, the new boyfriend. Heh.
* "You should have worn a seatbelt." -Sylar
* Big Jim's?
* "That's why Dad and I have to lie, so we can protect you!"
* "I'm strong. Much stronger than either you or your father think. And I know more than you think I know." -Mrs. Bennet
* The Invasion of Building 26! Can't shut down the computers, ehn?
* Heh, Matt remains a bit jerky.
* "He's a terrible driver anyways." -Mrs. Bennet
* She can make fake IDs! DEF LEPPARD. "You were going to do it one way or another, Claire. Just thought I might help."
* 1980. Fleetwood Mac!
* Hee, endangered species.
* "You're special, Claire. And not just because of the whole immortal, healing thing." -Alex
* Hee, Mrs. Bennet knew about dad's hiding spot.
* AND SHE HAS HER HAND ON THE HIDDEN PISTOL.
* Blackmail! Mr. Bennet knows about Matt's weakness to sensory overload! Blackout!
* Oh. Sylar Sr. had the killer TK. And killed Sylar's mom!

Nathan: You're not helping him, are you?
Angela: Don't be ridiculous.

* "I would never betray you." -Angela
* "Yes dear. I've had a bit of experience with all this." Hee.
* "I'm following orders, senator. Just not yours." -the Hunter
* "Just remember, Peter can hear your thoughts." -Nathan
* And Mr. Bennet takes the (unsubtle) hint.
* Hee, Petrelli family reunion.
* "Perhaps there's a better way of doing it." -Angela
* "This hasn't turned out exactly the way I wanted it to,, OK, I'm aware of that?... It's out of control, and it's my fault. But I can fix it. In fact, I'm the only one who can fix it." -Nathan
* And Peter made good on his threat to release the tape! Unexpected.
* "You made him sound like Mr. Freakin' Rogers." -Sylar

Luke: Why are you doing this to me?
Sylar: Because you're here and I need to express my feelings. You used me for some joyride and escape. I got news for you, kid. There is no escape. There is only pain and you cannot outrun it. No matter what you do. No matter where you go.

* Sent him home!
* "The enemy has a face, Parkman. And it's you." -the Hunter
* "Nice to know I still have a few tricks up my sleeve." -Mrs. Bennet
* "I need your help, Barbie." -Doyle (!)

OK, this is officially the "Mrs. Bennet is awesome" episode. Seriously.

But damn, they might still redeem Nathan. Sigh.

Good news, also. Bryan Fuller, who is awesome, is back on writing for Heroes.

I can't exaclty put my finger on it, but outside of a few moments so far this Volume, I have been underwhelmed. I mean, it seems like they were going all X-Men on us (which wold have been the easy way through this season, I think), and instead go all high school V:TM moping on us. Especially Parkman. I hope they actually blow him up as the "Next week..." seems to indicate. He's starting to hit Alejandro levels of annoying.

How many more ways could they beat us over the head with the "Underground Railroad" thing?

I believe Micah still is the front runner for Rebel, but Hana Geitelman (of 1 appearance in season 1 I think and a bigger mention in the Volume 1 comics), may also be in there. I think that Bennet is out of the running (he was watching the screens as much as Hunter was, and not so much with the active hacking).

Unless they introduce a new mutant.

See, for me, this is the best season since, uh, the first one. I understand that's not tough competition, but nonetheless.

Hana would be a great choice, too... if anyone remembered who she was. Can't be a surprise reveal otherwise. I understand she was in the comics more and the like, but they'd have to spend as much time re-explaining who she is and why she should care. Maybe they'll reveal she's been working with Angela/Micah?

And I can't rule out Mr. Bennet because he's Batman, and he's that flippin' good. Easily the most dangerous person on the show who isn't Sylar.

That's why they need a bigger budget! Nathan *asked* for it, after all.

not Harriet Tubman - hee!
