Thoughts on the latest developments:

Okay so....

Micah's cousin? (can't remember her name offhand sorry) but we know she doesn't have to see it on TV to learn it - this opens up another interesting question though - with her copycat ability - can she do like peter and copy other abilities if she sees them?

Niki - Really needs to stop fighting this and either integrate her personalities or just embrace them and her abilities.

I'm glad Peter finally opened the stupid box - but it was kind of anti-climatic LOL

I think the new girl, Elle has to be Bob's daughter - her ties to Claire are because of her being brought up under the company like Claire was with her dad - I don't think there is an actual family relation as much as just a common upbringing.

Why in the WORLD did Mohinder take Molly to the freaking company? ACK!

Okay that's my vent / rant for this week's episode

[meimei42]

I'm not sure Elle's dad is Bob, I think she may work for a different "company". (I'm being a conspirousy theroist now LOL).

I don't know why Mohinder would take Molly to the company. Why wouldn't they just steal her away from him? She was their little toy, I'm sure they'd love to have her back.

Matt/Nathan are FTW dude. I love their banter back and forth.

Peter's box was anti-climatic, but they said it was stuff found on him, so I really actually wasn't expecting much. What could have been in there?

I thougt Nikki intergrated already, she's confusing me.

Guys, Niki's name is spelled with 1 k!
And I don't get why she had to do that! I was like "cool the real Niki's back" and then she was all nice to Bob [lol I sooo hate him].

I really hope Elle is not Bob's daughter. I'd still love her, but it'd be a great disappointment.

I'd give the episode 8/10.
IMO it was the best episode so far [of the season].

I fixed the spelling Thanks

And yeah - It just makes the most sense to me that she would be Bob's Daughter - calling the company and saying "Yeah Daddy - I'll find him etc. etc."

Bob's the head cheese now that Noah left. It would tie her to Claire in the way that Claire was raised by Noah while he ran the company and now Elle is kind of in the same place only she knows more obviously than Claire was ever allowed to. I don't know, just makes sense to me that that is who "Daddy" would be for her.

I still like my original NIKI theory - and now that she isn't fully integrated I guess it could still be an option - but I always thought what would make the split personality thing cool was if she could physically manifest into her two different personalities (bi-location).

[addiction]

I think Elle is Bob's adopted daughter, she could be Claire's biological sister? they both have curly blond hair... maybe Bob adopted Elle just like Noah did with Claire?

and Niki sucks.. why did she had to get "cured" from Jessica? she really should just accept herself for who she is (and Mohinder is an idiot too)

Plus I feel sorry for Caitlin's brother and her, its not fair that he had to die from that psycho b*tch Elle.

I don't think Monica can copy powers like Peter. Micah called her a muscle mimic, so I think she can only copy physical abilities, not special ones.

[meimei42]

^^ I agree, I really think Monica's powers are limited to what her body is physically able to do. Not powers or anything, but it also looks like powers can develope (eg Matt's dad) so maybe way down the line she could possible start to mimic powers? Who knows.

LOL Elle was a bad girl. I did feel really bad about the irish guy dying. He was just trying to protect Peter.

[AlanScot]

Cannot believe Claire was out of 'fight or flight' this really shows just how packed the show is right now. Hiro's part was practically unnoticable, Niki's was but a cameo, I swear she has had two miutes of screen time this year.

[fatj0]

i'd say they did claire bear a favor by giving the audience some time away, absence makes the heart grow fonder. and about powers developing and strengthening over time, as intriguing a concept as it may be, he's not a man i really want to trust. it would be a good trick for a man capable of a power more akin to candice's to appeal to a telepath by telling him one leads to the next. but mostly i just want this to be true because if one family has hereditary powers then it adds undue credence to the other theories that have come about in the past.

Im not sure if the powers really develop / change - or it just takes the Hero/Villain time to realize their full potential - I would like to think the power is always there but that it takes time to learn to use them fully. Maybe that's just semantics - but it's more the way I see it right now.
