    Was I the only one who thought Claire doing the weird tazer grunt in the middle of a crowded auditorium was hilarious?

    Also, what do you want to bet that
    the carnies are going to be long lost Patrelli family members, like that family isn't cluttered up enough. I mean they've already used that exact "villains and heroes are related" storyline with Sylar.

    no bet.

    In fact, I wouldn't be shocked if the carnies turned out to be inbred second Petrelli cousins, kinda like the Fantastic Four had an orgy and the resulting child turned out to be the psychopath from that Fox prison show that was also only interesting the first season...

    ... Or Peter went back in time, absorbed the power to change his gender, then ANOTHER Peter followed him back in time and seduced him/her causing a super grandfather/mother paradox that destroys the world and whats left of the series

    I really hope they find a way to kill Claire permanently. If any character needs perma-death, it's her. The story arc for Claire, and the ending this episode for her, was so ridiculously predictable.

    So, they decide to revive Carnivale as part of Heroes, huh? As mentioned, I'm wondering
    whether the Carnies are long lost Patrellis or maybe
    a rival family that the Patrellis tried to wipe out.

    So I watched this on Hulu and it was actually pretty good. I came up with a clever idea and fast-forwarded through all the Claire parts because they are and probably always will be utterly retarded.

    Why did Peter say "thanks to Mohinder" or whatever.

    I kind of checked out last season since the show was so busy being terrible.

    Mohinder turned himself into Spider-man at some point.

    So Peter, at that point in the episode, had Mohinder's power.

    Peter lost his powers, but Mohinder devised magic power granting goo which Peter injected himself with to save someone (Nathan? I forget). So now he has (more limited) powers again, but the goo was helpfully destroyed.

    The dumbest part was when she jumped out the window to re-enact her ex-roomie's "suicide."

    "I just want to get a fresh start on my life, right after I jump out of this window and horrifically injure myself in the middle of a college campus. Who could possibly see me, let alone hear my bones crunch as I hit the pavement?"

    That's because Claire is retarded. All ways has been and look likes all ways will be.

    Well, everyone was distracted playing Guitar Hero III. The sounds of the first girl's bones crunching were overshadowed by Stevie Wonder.

    Either way it doesn't really bother me that much. He took Peter instead of the Hatian who may or may not have had other things going on at the time. I'm more bugged by the fact that this knife fighter so hung up on not killing people proceeds to use cutting them up as his only method of interaction.
    A couple of scenes earlier, he's moaning about how he doesn't want to be head carnie's hit man anymore. Then, a few minutes later, he seems to have no problem trying to disembowel Traci even though, for all he knows, she's just some innocent neighbor dropping by to borrow a cup of sugar from Denko.

    And the fact that Peter handled him pretty easily doesn't bother me- just because the guy is super-fast doesn't mean he's a skilled knife-fighter. Heck, if you're that fast you probably don't really need much in the way of actual skills.

    I'd guess fighting someone that has powers caught him off guard as well, and he probably hasn't had to fight someone with similar powers in the past. Plenty of ways to go with it making sense.

    He didn't want to go on the mission, but I suppose since he went he went all out.
    Killing witnesses is probably part of it and could easily fall under the "have to" column.

    Wow I just had a crazy thought: Heroes is trying to bring back Allegory.

    And I'm talking like full-fledged Renaissance Allegory, with Envy being represented as a knight with a certain color banner, etc.

    Claire is the allegorical representation of Idiocy.

    Actually, I'm pretty sure they were playing Guitar Hero III but then played a song that's in Guitar Hero 5.

    Yes, but that's nothing new. Even last season it was still one of NBC's top 10 shows, and was just below 30 Rock in viewers usually, which is sad for any number of reasons.

    Am I the only one that actually misses uber-powered Peter? I know they kinda screwed up with Peter in the past, but it really wasn't the powers per se, just how they treated them.

    My worry is that they're going to come up with all these ridiculously convenient moments where Peter will always have someone around with exactly the power he needs to get the job done. And sure, maybe you can explain the whole Speed Blades fight away by saying Darth Maul was surprised to be fighting someone with the same powers. But I somehow doubt the explanations won't always be that easily explained.

    Peter was in no way viable as a long term character. The only way for him to work would be for there to be other ridiculously powerful characters or for him to act like a dumbass.

    The high speed knife fight was bad.
