Omg brain splooey with awesomeness of the mohinder + nathan tag-team on peter who is then nabbed by claude bit.

: spends a few moments shipping mohinder/nathan


Plus, yay, hugh grant movie!

And who's taking a bet that Nathan is Claire's father?

Not as omgwtfsqueeeee as last week, which was 100% squeetastic, but with Sylar escaping, Micah finally telling DL about his powers (and stealing! oh, the woobie!), and Claire's mom the firestarter (who thinks they should've figured out *any* way for Drew Barrymore to take that role?) it was a clear 96% squee episode!

But wah, I thought Hannah actually showed up in this episode? And she didn't? Maybe next week?

I don't think that Sylar kills Mr Bennett at this point, though - hasn't he said that he has a scene with George Takei where he speaks Japanese? That hasn't happened yet...

*bounces and babbles*

Seriously - I used to be a reasonably intelligent person ...until I became a fangirl. *headdesk*

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

And now, all we can do is, er, fangirl.

I'm just thrilled I get to watch Chris Eccleston again!

: thrills
Also, so glad he's using his Northern accent - I know after last week people thought he wasn't, and, yay.

[allysonsedai.livejournal.com]

OMG - Claire!

Just when I think I can't love Hiro anymore...

This is how we roll!

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Yes, Hiro, and we will *all* roll with you, you amazing woobie!

Mohinder/Nathan

Peter/Claude

Clare's mom and his dad? I'm thinking his 'adoptive' dad is also her biological dad.

Hiro (who's now on Studio 60) and Mr. Sulu and the little 'Gulp'.

I love this show.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. I mean, he's using tough love on Peter, isn't he?

[titti]

*giggles* Tough love on Heroes. Bestiality in HP. And did you read John Barrowman's interview where he said that they weren't dark enough and he wanted to delve into their sexuality in s2?

You got to love fandoms.

And you're not in Supernatural, so you probably didn't know about the high res images from an upcoming episode that are generating much squee, and of course there's the residual BSG posts from last night that I've skipped over, and I think it was a busy day.

And John Barrowman? Did you see the nekked bum icons that are all over barrowmanfans today?

[titti]

Oh yes I am and those pictures are yummy.

I can never comment on BSG because it leaves me drained. Although I really like Apollo and Dee.

I had missed the naked arse icons. I shall have to remedy that.

I think I'm like the only person on LJ hoping that Nathan is Claire's father. Just cause it'd work so well with the connectedness thing and she even did an off-the-cuff eccentric uncle mention in the episode.

Mr. Bennett can't die yet. He's not done being vaguely creepy and overprotective and I would DIE OF SQUEE if he and Hiro's father were in the same scene. And I loved Hiro's little ohshit face too. *pats him*

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Here's the thing - I *love* the interaction between Peter and Claire, and until they jossed her age, well, an 8 year age gap isn't crazy in some post-series time-frame.

The thing is, timeline-wise, it seems that Nathan would have taken off for Bosnia sometime around when Claire was ickle, which could mean that he either fled, or was sent away - so it's possible they wanted Claire to be 17 or so, but couldn't because it didn't work with Nathan's timeline for her to be those two extra years older?

I would't *mind* if he was her father (I'm groovy with v v twisted petrelli interfamilial relationships) but I wouldn't squee either. Alas.

[meshell-mybell.livejournal.com]

Nathan as Claire's dad, my first thought exactly.

Chris Eccleston's character...it is the Doctor, in hiding, before he hooked up with Rose. (In my mind!)

I'd like to see the Petrelli brothers being related to Claire.
However, here is an alternate scenario:

Claire is the daughter of Linderman. None of the viewers know what he looks like yet, and he seems to be heavily connected to each of the main characters...
A) Hiro's sword
B) Isaac's paintings, including one of Claire
C) Nathan's campaign
D) Niki and DL
E) possibly Mr. Bennett's boss...
if so, then he might have been under orders to recruit Mohinder.
Because, although I do believe he cares deeply for Claire, Mr. Bennett has layers of ulterior motives.

There is definitely something hinky going on here.

I'll throw out one more theory:
Meredith Gordon was a single mother who blames her pyrokinetic ability for the death of her daughter. What if the fire was intentionally set, in order to kidnap Claire?

Linderman is a mob boss, right? Probably has a wife and family, and keeps a mistress or two on the side... What if his mistress has a child? Would he want to get rid of the evidence or try to take the child away from her mother?

Here's what I think happened the night of the fire:

Meredith confronts Linderman, and tells him that he has a child. She demands child support. He refuses. Maybe she threatens to tell his wife about their affair. Linderman retaliates; he threatens to tell everyone that she is a pyromaniac, and then she will lose custody of her daughter. Maybe she tells him, "Go to Hell."
He leaves, but promises that she will regret this. Later on, he orders his goons to set fire to her apartment. Maybe he just wants to scare her. Maybe his intent is to kidnap the child. Either way, the fire consumes the apartment, injuring Claire. Mr. Bennett takes her to the hospital. (Perhaps she makes a miraculous recovery.) Then, the Haitian alters Meredith's memory of the fire. Linderman offers to help her start over. She assumes a new identity since it is believed that she died in the fire.

The end result is that Meredith thinks her child is dead and that it is all her fault.

Okay, your theory? Very interesting and intriguing.
I can't wait until we do meet Linderman regardless, whenever that time arises.
