House of Vortex
Vortex man is angrily talking on the phone to someone, presumably his sister, about how he needs to get the contact info of his wife and kids. She won't supply it, and he gets angry, creating a vortex and sucking household items into it. WHERE DO THEY GO? If I put a GPS tag on it, would I be able to find them in some cosmic junkyard?
Found your birth control pills!
He's pacing around an empty house painted with very pleasant beachy colors on the walls, like seafoam green and periwinkle blue. He turns around to hear footsteps, and Claire with a taser in her hand. LULZ. Seriously, Claire, a taser? Where's your bear mace and ninja stars? She manages to stun him squarely in the chest, to my surprise, and he's down for the count. Claire's face looks perplexed/panicked, as if she had no idea tasers would knock people down. Dumb blonde, don't tell me not to vote for McCain.
Graveyard of Heroes
Hiro and Ando unearth Adam, who immediately wakes up and starts choking the dickens out of Hiro. At least arm yourself with a samurai sword, Hiro, you are not to be trusted with stopping time in time. Which is most of the time.
Hiro manages to stick Adam back in the coffin while he and Ando figure out a game plan. Ando's incredulous that Hiro would unearth his nemesis, the man who killed Kaito, just because Mama P told him to. Hiro gets a boner for anything that's prefaced with the word "hero," we all know that. Hiro attempts to be stoic and says that a hero takes risks and makes sacrifices in order to get the job done. Yep, he's totally going to kill Ando or one of the girls in order to save the day. He also insists that Adam knows who the "bad guy" is. Yes, I used to call them bad guys too, when I was seven. Our little Pikachu's all grown up, honey! Sorta.
Hiro makes Adam promise to behave himself (good luck with that one, goons). Adam seems pretty chipper for a guy who's been locked up six feet under for ages, but then again, it's like taking a catnap given his age. Adam chuckles when Hiro mentions they're searching for a formula, and says he even told them to destroy it back in the day. Hiro promises to put Adam in a more spacious cell with a window and a vent, and perhaps a window, to which Adam screams, "You Japanese Nazi!" Adam thinks the villain is Mama P, Hiro looks befuddled because Mama P sent him on his kamikaze mission, and yeah...the scenario is just as retarded as it looks typed out in a Word document. Especially when the bouncing paper clip (his name is Clippy) won't leave you alone.
Emmy Face
Pinehearst Industries
Ah, the land of mythical companies that sound like towns straight out of Archie & Jughead comics. What's next, Riverdale High and Mystic Oak Pizza?
Daphne's sassing Linderman (who I still don't think really exists, unless all of our heroes have been slipped a roofie colada by Mama P or duped by Parkman's daddy), who asks if she wants to be a recruiter for his new sorority. Based on what I saw on The Bachelor, I don't think sorority recruiters get paid enormous salaries if they can go on reality tv shows looking for love and PMS-laden catfights. Don't do it, Daphne!
Apparently, the sorority will be the foundation of a new world order. Ghostface Killah Linderman tries to channel his inner Obama and throws down rhetoric like "precipice of real world change" (i.e. mass genocide of people he doesn't like, manipulation of the weak) and a world where those with "gifts" are embraced (i.e. made to star in reality tv talent freakshows hosted by Joey Fatone). He tells her to be somebody. Join the army, lady, you don't want to be the equivalent of Uncle Sam the Linderman hologram. Or move to Alaska and be a maverick.

I thought syphilis was the disease of late!!! Oh, Marcia-Marcia-Marcia!!!
Can't believe I'm the first comment here . . . but thanks for recap-did you really know that it was Parkman's Dad doing the ghost before it was revealed? Just goes to prove how dense I am, just taking it all in . . .
The time inconsistencies are annoying, esp in the lamo Hiro arc . . . how can you escape from someone who can time travel . . .
Also confused about good versus bad here, in the now and the future, in the company etc . . . oh well, guess I'll keep plodding along and see where this journey takes us. It's a weird world when Mama P is a good guy! Is it me!?
