I've a feeling that with S2 I should try and download the whole thing over Christmas and watch it in one go. I've not been reading detailed reviews but scanning reactions and there does seem to be a lot of negativity which may be largely due to pacing problems. So it's great to hear about the good stuff. And if Mohinder's interactions with the Company continue I'd definitely like to see that.
I loved, loved, loved Hiro's conversation with Ando on the subject, and that the show doesn't just let him Yes, I loved every bit of the Hiro scenes in the episode. Sylar's mother was interesting, teetering on the edge of psychosis herself, I wasn't sure if the antipathy to his father's clock was because the father never became more than a watchmaker or the comment that Sylar wouldn't hurt a fly was because his father did and I liked the ambiguity. And the snow globe was beautiful and wrong. Oh and Claire saying the future couldn't be that lame and Angela's talking to Nathan but suprisingly not using the best of arguments. And Bennet's reunion with Claire was very touching but I couldn't help wondering if he knew what the Walker system really was and if he did would he still go ahead and destroy it all the same?
Also I suppose you could say the episode was all about mothers pushing their sons to be special while a father just wanted his daughter to me normal. But the sons are special and the daughter isn't normal.
