Sylar tells Peter that he doesn't need to bother trying to shoot him because he has nothing he wants anymore. He leaves. WITHOUT TAKING THE HAITIAN'S POWER? It's the weakest the man will ever be. Come on now. Did you learn nothing from the old fart dead on the floor who had the chance to double up on immortality? OK. Questions. Papa stole Peter's powers. Peter was invincible. Is Papa dead? I get that he was shot in the head, but Claire had a stake or something in her brain and they just pulled it out and all was hunky dory. Is the cut on Peter's face the scar? Cuz I remember the scar being deeper and bigger and more towards the center of his face. OK I am thinking too much. More shit will be made up to explain this all later. Back to the show. Peter takes a moment alone with his father and tries to act again. It's highlarious.
I hope the crafts services table has pretzels. And mustard. And Slim Jims!
Up in the lab, Suresh, Nathan and Tracy have brought in the giant nostriled Marine and strapped him into a chair. Poor guy starts freaking out when he sees Suresh and is all "oh shit you're not injecting me with whatever ugly juice you put into yourself, mofo!" Too late. Suresh injects him and encloses him in the glass room. He starts shaking and freaking out. Like he's gonna turn into the Hulk. But not, because that would be stealing. The guy stops shaking, breaks out of the chair, then rips the heavy metal chair out of the ground and crashes it through the case. Tracy gets a boner.
Raaar. You wanna be president?
Nathan asks the kid how he feels and he kinda snarls "I feel great." Wow. Superhuman strength. Haven't seen that one before. OK. So there were plot holes everywhere, a lot of shit happened that didn't make any sense, and Hiro's gonna be fucking ten again. The main thing that sets this episode apart from the past few is that it was kinda awesome to watch. So please, Kring, NBC, whoever is even listening at this point, please keep not sucking like you mostly didn't suck tonight! Love, Flipit.

Ummmm... How did Papa Petrelli get to the past to take Hiro's powers/the catalyst without having Hiro's powers to time travel??? Did he take them in Africa when he reverted Hiro to a 10 yr. old? How did he get to Africa? Shit, I should probably not try to overthink this, huh?
Also... Marine with nostrils = Mary's gay boyfriend Chad from Saved!!! So exciting!

He had the time travel power because PETER had it (from Hiro) and he stole Peter's powers. And I'm assuming he knew Hiro/Claire were going to be there at that time because...he can paint the future...i guess?

Great recap. I especially liked the extra comments for the commercials this time. Just a few things Papa Petrelli got the regeneration powers at the beginning of the season from Adam Monroe. Second while Hiro lost his powers I don't think he has reverted to 10 again. Lastly thank you for explaining how Petrelli Sr. could teleport, I never even considered that he had Peter's powers and I was finding that confusing.

long time reader, first time poster. i had to register to say: does anyone else think Sue Landers was kind of a Sarah Palin-lookalike?

Love the recap, Flipit! Hilarious as always.
So funny about the WaMu blurb - I just found out that everyone at my company that banks with them DID NOT GET THEIR DIRECT DEPOSIT TODAY. WaMu claims a "system upgrade", I say FAIL.

Loved the recap flip! I too got teary when Hiro growed up after mom's Regenerist kiss. Absolutely adored the cross out paragraph--too funny!!!
Hope they answer your prayers, but there's only one left this season--you must be so relieved.
And I regularly let people strap me to chairs and inject me, helps pass the time, ya know!
Meet ya in the caf, I hear the jello is kick ass today!!!!
xoxoxo

Why am I still watching? Why are you still recapping? We are all gluttons for punishment, I guess. The story starts to get good and they tag-team in another writer & nothing makes sense again. He gets tired of making things up & in comes another writer & off we go in another direction..........arghhhh!
But the one shining light is your recaps. They make more sense than this show!!! (wait, is that a compliment?)
