picking up the pace a little bit...

1. I'm waiting for the moment when I stop hating Caitlin. I was watching this in the basement of the SUB and there was another guy who came down and watched it too - we don't really talk, but we both laughed at her when she said whatever her line was about killing "the bitch" that is Veronica Mars. Hey, in my opinion, Veronica did us a huge favor. There are way too many characters on this show right now, and Veronica is just doing a little tidying up. I hope you're next, Caitlin. I'm pretty sure you're no match for Veronica's blue electricity Emperor Palpatine-esque power.
2. I hate the cheerleaders. Even the nice ones. They're pointless. I don't really understand why Claire likes cheerleading because she isn't like any of those girls, as far as I've noticed.
3. I'm kind of confused how Monica got to New York. She was like "so are you going to tell me what this is all about?" or something to Mohinder... why didn't she ask him that stuff before she left her house with him? I mean he could have been some kind of murderer or whatever. And look what happened, she did almost die. Mohinder was going to inject her with whatever that virus thing was and it was going to either kill her or take away her powers. I'm surprised Monica was stupid enough to just get up and go with him, no questions asked.
4. "It's for the greater good." This dude has been hanging out with Gellert Grindelwald! (Well, I know a lot of people have said "for the greater good" before J.K. Rowling put it in her books but that is what I will always think of when anybody ever says it. Anyway.)
5. Okay, who are these Ukraine people? Claire's dad went to visit them to see the rest of the paintings from Isaac Mendes (which, by the way, how many more paintings can the guy have). And he's part of the Company apparently... so how widespread is the Company? It's in the Ukraine and America... where else? Probably several places. (It was Ukraine, right?)
6. Wow, that LG fridge looks totally awesome.
7. OH WEST. You can't just go up to the cheerleader girl and say "I'm hot and I have a power. Put me on the squad." Those two things do not automatically qualify you as a good cheerleader. Also, I'm not a fan of this public humiliation idea, West. Not cool. I hope it's not like "let's dump food on her!" Because that would be so stupid.
8. OH A MENTION OF CLAUDE! Come back Claude. Please. Go get Peter and bring him to his senses.
9. Mr. Bennett/HRG = still a great big douche. I'm back to totally hating him like I did last season. I realize he's just trying to protect his family, but still. I just don't like him.
10. Did Maya, Alejandro and Sylar really think it'd be that easy to get across the border...? And I'm kind of surprised that they came to a section of the border fence that just so happened to have one piece missing from it.
11. I'm really confused as to why the cheerleaders just hang out in their uniforms all the time. Is that a realistic interpretation of cheerleaders?
12. Okay Claire and West... that was admittedly pretty creative way to publicly humiliate Debbie, or whatever her name was, but also kinda crappy and mean. That said, she deserves it for being retarded enough to be drinking on school property.
13. Um... I don't care about Sark, Hiro, and Mulan anymore. Pretty much I think Hiro should come back to the present and maybe bring Sark too, so I can continue to look at his cute face. Mulan can stay in the past though.
14. Okay, so did the Company really change? Or is it a ploy to keep Mohinder there?
15. Ummm... Mulan figured all that out from holding her hand up to Hiro's face? That makes no sense. But poor Sark.
16. "Delicious power." What a great way to have Sylar describe how he sees their powers. Especially what with how he eats their brains to get their powers. Poor Alejandro though, I wish he could speak English. How does his twin sister know English and he doesn't?
17. Not sure how I feel about Sark punching Hiro but I'm not all that fussed about stupid Mulan getting captured. I wonder how all of that is going to play out. I thought it was pretty cut and dry (and therefore boring) so I'm glad they surprised me with this "shocking" turn of events. Although, it does seem sort of stupid of Sark to just give up and join the bad guys, just because he saw Hiro kissing his girlfriend - a girlfriend that he wouldn't even have if it wasn't for Hiro, BY THE WAY. Sark, you're kind of an idiot.
18. I'm really amused by Peter randomly discovering his powers. I hope he turns invisible, and then can't figure out how to not be invisible.
19. So it looks like it's a virus they're going to have to stop this time, rather than a nuclear bomb. Hmm. The alternate futures they keep coming up with are pretty interesting though.
20. I didn't really like this episode either but at least it seems to be getting slightly more interesting.

1. Yes, there are too many characters - not enough development of any of them and the story is moving too slowly.
2. Agreed. Claire should be done with cheerleading. It is so last year.
3. Monica got to New York during that scene that must have been cut.
5. Claire's dad is usually known as HRG on the internet. Mr. Bennett's first name is...what?
8. Yes, Doctor Who needs to return.
9. Ah yes, HRG. I thoght he had moved away from the dark side. But no - he moved from one shade of dark to another.
10. The missing piece was contrived to show the informal border guys in a bad light. This was such baloney.
13. And all the other cheerleaders put up with her behavior for some reason.
14. I don't know where they are going with the current Hiro plot.
16. Will Sylar/Gabiel get his powers back? Maybe he'll be whisked off to Vulcan as part of some study...
19. Virus, yes. The virus that was mentioned earlier in the episode.
20. This episode was one of the worst. They haven't resolved anything!
