It was a very confusing episode last night but there were answers given. We now know where Big Eyes came from and how she came to work for HRG. In answer to one of your questions, Scary Black Dude is still working for HRG, not necessarily Big Eyes. They both work for HRG. HRG's wife let Claire go to the game so he went to find her and told Big Eyes to take Scary Black Dude and neutralize Sylar when she caught him.

What I'm wondering is exactly how Sylar is siphoning the powers from others. Suresh said the brain is the key but they still didn't tell us if he eats the brain or if there is some other way to do it. It's important because it could help us figure out if he can escape the clutches of Scary Black Dude and Big Eyes and maybe how he survived the fall that he and Peter took.

Someone's going to die again next week and from the way they portray it on the preview, it's for good this time. The only question is who??? My immediate guess goes to either Jessica/Nikki or DL since it appears that one of them is bound to kill the other. Hopefully the previews are just misdirection and one of our active heroes isn't going down.

I do have new questions about Hiro though. He said he took the bus to get back to Ando. Does that mean that he's somehow lost his powers? He also said he couldn't save the waitress. Now that can be interpreted in a few ways. Either he couldn't change the past which throws the whole show into a Paradox with the Save the Cheerleader Save the World or he was indicating that since she had the anuerism she was going to die anyway and maybe just not by Sylar.

Loved the way they introduced Sylar's storyline. He is most defintiely a bad ##### and somehow I think that with his power stealing and Peters power siphoning, the two of them are going to battle again.

Yes, it was and there were. I was riveted and trying so hard to put it together!

In answer

Yeah, I thought that was pretty clear. I still don't quite get what his whole game is and how he knew what was happening. That just isn't clear to me yet.

I agree. This is now one of the central mysteries for me. How does he get the powers, damn it????? And, why couldn't Peter just siphon off his powers, too? Shouldn't he have been able to do that if Sylar really is one of the chosen ones or, if his access to the powers comes from some artificial source he's managed to obtain, perhaps that's why Peter couldn't????

This one is killing me. I don't want any of them to die! Wahhhhhhh!

My immediate guess goes

Hmmmm. I'm thinking not. The amount of storytime and effort they've put into this storyline just doesn't lead me to think they'll kill either one any time soon. Although, I'm probably wrong.

>I do have new questions about
>Hiro though. He said he
>took the bus to get

I don't think he has at all. I think he is just having trouble controlling them.

He also said
>he couldn't save the waitress.

I think that it is because of her aneurism. I think it was a bit of a lesson for him in that some people may have an ultimate fate that cannot be altered. Perhaps not everyone, but some. And it gives him some perspective of the limits of his powers.

Exactly. These two are going to have a battle of the titans, for sure. Here I thought Peter was such a wuss at the start and now I'm starting to think he's the most powerful one of all of them.

Democrats make better lovers. Whoever heard of a good piece of elephant?

I agree....it was a lot of info in a short amount of time....I'm going to have to re-watch it again.

It does tell us our cop buddy can't read which is amazing he made it to be a cop in the first place....how does he do any of his paper work....

Scary Black Dude and Big Eyes make a powerful team for HRG...I wonder what will happen when he meet Peter and finds out more about him.....Yes, big fight coming between Peter and Sylar...I'm thinking either Scary Black Dude or Big Eyes dies....just a hunch from Sylar...remember he has the same power as Big Eyes....

The whole Jessica/Nikki is kind of strange but I can't wait to find out more.

Hiro's story line had so many questions and/or hole....if he was there for 6 months why did the waitress not recognize him when him and his buddy came in and Sylar was there? Then when he disappears the cops say nothing? Then he reappears and again there is no reaction from anyone but his buddy....It seemed like she was killed by Sylar so the aneurysm did not kill her. I think he left town so not to run into himself and then took a bus back...so where did he go during that time before getting back....I loved when he talked to himself and the pain on his face when he was back in Japan but his friend said he was on a trip to America but if I remember correctly in an earlier show his friend said he has never been anywhere....then he popped into the bathroom....thus convincing him to go with him....

Again many holes that need to be filled or they did not think of.

Clair and the head cheerleader was explained....I wonder why she was an outsider to begin with...her looks and personality would put her in the popular group....and I loved her dad calling her a "#####" and Clair was shocked and then said it too....not realistic but funny.

And Nathan and his wife....and Linderman again....this guy is a key to a big part of the story and might be behind HRG.....We now know why Sylar became Sylar and I don't think he was linked to anyone....just collecting powers so he would be more than just a watch maker/repair guy like his dad thus explaining the watch Moldher saw with the little boys help. Nathan said dad died of a heart attach but later suicide......wonder why that changed and when did he decide to run for office if he was not 6 month earlier and there is about a week before the election now and then get in bed with someone who tried to kill you and crippled your wife....very strange and a very big key to the story again.

Next week looks even better....and I wonder how long they will be gone for....January I hope for them to return....

I don't think it's that he can't read, I think he has dsylexia. He said something about the words being backwards. Pretty classic dsylexia.

Have me met Linderman? I didn't get to see the first episode, so I don't know if we've actually seen the infamous Linderman. Or if we did I don't remember (which for me is pretty normal. I have CRS syndrome*
