Finally!!! What an awesome episode, much better than the last two. So much explained and more questions aroused.
So is Thompson the top of OWI or is there another head above him? I get the feeling that an organization like that has a higher layer that never hits the field, more of a behind closed doors thing. Still, it was kind of dumb for him to shoot at Ted, because if he was paying attention at all he should have known what Ted can do.
The back story was phenomenal. I love the scene on the rooftop of the Deveaux building when Hiro's father was giving Claire to HRG. And what's up with everyone speaking Japanese, it makes me think Mr. Nakamura is the guy at the top or at the very least, very high up.
I thought there was going to be more behind how HRG got his glasses.
Loved the bridge scenes, nicely done. Beautiful and very symbolic.
I was really itching to see Hannah though. We do know that she wanted to go after the higher ups but I wanted to follow that story. Plus, I thought it would have been good if she was at the Bennett house and PrimaTech cause then she could have intercepted a lot of the communications and gotten some answers for our trio.
Lyle is also adopted by the way. Besides, the Bennetts didn't adopt Claire by choice, HRG was ordered to, although there does seem to be some discrepancy as to the motive. In the episode, it appears HRG is quite uncomfortable with the notion of adopting or caring for Claire, but is ordered to do so by Mr. Nakumura. But in the graphic novel, HRG appears to have softened and vows to take care of Claire.
Man, what is up with Simone coming back from the dead? Please don't let that happen, that would be so lame. I think she sucked so I was happy when they offed her.
The more I think about it, the more I think Mr. Deveaux may have been an empath. And Peter "absorbed" his power. There is something very significant about the building (the rooftop), Deveaux, Claude, and Peter that is all tied together. Maybe even Simone a little too but she was supposed to have died.
I wonder who the other "new" partner is. This Candice. She kind of looks like Hannah but I'm curious to see what her ability is. Will Parkman end up working for OWI or will he refuse?
Anyways, finally, a great episode. Can't wait til next week.
