The Balocony/Hiro and his dad/Mr. Bennet

[DarthVibbert]

That scene was very interesting what is up with Hiro's dad? And why were they on that balcony with the birds........also invisble man used to be Mr.Bennet's friend( that was cool) how did he live though?

When I saw Hiros dad at first I was like "Hmm I've seen him before" then I realized who it was and I saw "little Hiro" playing the gameboy and was like NO WAY before we were told it was him. It's all coming together.

Awesome episode of Heroes.

Who was the Eric Roberts character, my first instinct was Lindermann but i think not.
He's obviously H.R.G's boss, and what's with Hiro's Dad? He's obviously in deep with the organisation, also i'm wondering if he is actually Hiro's biological Dad or just fostering like H.R.G. Lovin' little Hiro.....wonder what he was playing on his Gameboy? The balcony is proving a key location and the importance of this place is yet to be revealed.
H.R.G isn't the bad person we've been lead to believe. All this time he's been protecting Claire.
Who was Claude hiding that lead to him being "killed" by H.R.G.
The climax with Ted and Clare was quality and thank god Mr Muggles got out alive.
Who is the Haitian working for and where has he taken Claire?

Heroes just get's better and better.

You might notice Bennett had the Haitian shoot him in the same spot he shot Claude. I.e. they weren't shots meant to actually kill. The Haitian or someone similar needed to be able to come across the memory of Claude having 'died' in a scan in order for someone like Eric Roberts to believe the job had been done.

If he wanted Claude dead he would have simply shot him in the head.

The interesting part is how deep did the scan go? If The Haitian mindwiped all memory/memories of Claire... will he be hunting her down impervious to that knowledge?

I was thinking the same thing about Claude and H.R.G tail's. H.R.G going after Claire...it's inevetable.

Yeah - very good episode. Got us all thrown around with the revelation of HRG knowing Hiro's dad, working with Claude and not knowing the Haitian could speak...after all these years. Huh?

Anyway -- I'm wondering if the "mindwipe" at the end was just for Claire's benefit...that the Haitian didn't really do anything but act it out to keep her from going back to HRG. Not like anyone else around would know...Parkman trusts HRG (although, they could be wiping him clean at this point) and The Haitian does, in a way, too, or else he wouldn't help with that last scene.

Also - how does an invisible man keep his blood at a crime scene invisible?

Gart's....your'e attention to the smallest detail never ceases to amaze me!

Years of Comic Book tracking...the best writers are MASTERS at delaying details up to a large pivotal scene. And, in this respect, I have to wonder if Claude can do more than what we've witnessed.

For instance Claire's healing is only for her body (the clothes don't come back...murder on a cheerleader's allowance), Nate has flight, Parkman's telepathy and Hiro with the ability to travel -- only himself -- in time...these are all things they can do to themselves or by themselves. Claude can turn himself and, more importantly, his clothes invisible -- if you consider the abilities a biological effect, then the clothes fall out of believability. So is it "light bending" that he does -- in essence, camouflage -- or can he also "invis" things he is in contact with?

There's more to him than meets the eye (yes, bad pun -- that's my super power).

Of course, The original Invisible man was only fully invisible when naked or when he took his bandages off. The clothes thing hadn't really clicked. I suppose old claude has more in common with the Predator than the invisible man.

With the revelation that Claude and Mr Bennet were former partners there is no doubt that he will be crucial to uncovering the Mysteries of the "organiztion" that H.R.G, Mr Nakamura and Eric Roberts ( Did anyone mention his name, I dont remember, but probably not, same as H.R.G) all work for.

[Gartism]

TV.com listed Eric Roberts' role as "Thompson" -- but it was not mentioned on the show.

Another interesting thing...when HRG shot Claude - the first shot seemed like a surprise (like someone else pulled or 'forced' the trigger). Of course, Lost has taught me to look for conspiracies now, so, who knows?

Also, HRG knew Claude was still alive a few episodes back (whether the Haitian wiped this out, too, is suspect) and Peter seems to be the only one who can really find him. So, does Claude get an episode to explain things to Peter? Or will Claire finally get to see Peter again (hopefully with Matt along for the ride) and explain herself?

Going to be a good finale in a few weeks.
