Trivial Matters

So now we know what Papa Petrelli’s actual power is. (How many different ways are they going to manifest this power-stealing ability?) I wonder where he was when Adam was doing all of his bad deeds, virus concocting and all. I also wonder why he would take Peter’s abilities instead of Sylar’s. Was he after some individual ones, or Peter’s ability to glean them without making physical contact? So many questions, so few answers.

Furthermore, is anyone else creeped out by Parkman and Daphnie. He’s got to be, what, 10 years or more her senior. Wouldn’t the smart move have been to play it cool, knowing that you’ll hook up, and then give her the dire warnings about the company.

The Hiro and Ando saga is getting a little stale. You killed me… You killed me too… Now we’re even!?! Seriously, someone find a way to give Ando a power because he’s just become useless. At first I figured he was there to teach Hiro how to think outside of his ability, and for a while it worked, and then it didn’t, and it took a couple knocks to the head with a shovel to put Hiro back in perspective. So now it’s time to give Ando those cool red lightning powers (and the inevitable showdown with Elle, Sylar, Peter, or Papa Petrelli - those who weild the blue lightning powers).

Don’t get me started on Mohinder… WTF, man, WTF.

Finally, there’s Claire. I have no idea why she stormed off when Noah gave her kudos for taking out the puppetmaster. Speaking of which, if you had that kind of power over a woman, would a tea party be at the top of the “to do” list. I know this is trying to be a family-friendly show, but he just looked pathetic.They could have implied so much more, which would have made the confrontation that much more compelling.

I don’t think “Choose a side” is going to catch on quite like “Save the cheerleader…”
