Wow. Brilliant episode.
They were able to focus on only a few characters, but tie them in with a few others during really well-done flashbacks. We find out that Mr. Bennett was indeed trying to protect Claire, and sacrificies himself (or at least the memory of her) to try and continue to do so. It was a little hard to follow for awhile, why he was "thinking" to Matt and why Matt was so quick to trust and go along with him.
I'll try to jot down more later. As good as the episode was, I'm having trouble remembering parts I want to write about.

Monday... Heroes... Ep. 1-16... "Unexpected"
You know what was "Unexpected?" Stan Lee only getting about 3 seconds of TV-time.
Anyway, it's begun: Just as I thought, Sylar is going to just follow Suresh around and kill all these people, then act like "oh man, that sucks, let's go." Suresh is a smart guy, doesn't it come off the least bit strange to him that all of a sudden Sylar (Zane) is getting these bad headaches when they find the woman dead? And when he mentiones Sylar, he's really curious to learn more.
Well, I thought Ando was going to be the one to die, as I figured it would be one of the "Heroes." Plus, I thought I read something about Hiro losing someone he cares for. But I guess they just meant since Ando was kidnapped by Missi Pyle, or when Hiro tells Ando to go home. Turns out it's just Simone who dies. Interesting way to do it though, having Isaac do it while trying to shoot Peter. I read that Simone does in fact die, so Peter must not have contracted any kind of healing power. She never really brought anything to the table for me anyway, so I'm not crying over it.
I had to look up why people keep referring to Claire's dad as "HRG." I guess it means Horn-Rimmed Glasses. Boy, that's really lame. I don't think it's one of those fan-made names though because I've seen it mentioned in more official recaps and episode previews. They are doing a good job with him, though. I actually am on the fence on if I believe he is trying to protect his family. I think he might be, but he's just so obsessed with learning about the people with powers that he's making a lot of mistakes. But considering they knew Sylar was the bad guy, I guess I can believe HRG (I can't believe I'm typing that...) is probably more good than evil. But he may have his own motives.
We might find out, since now Matt and the two newest Heroes are in his house and have guns pointed at him and his family. I thought Matt tried to read his mind before and failed, so I'm not sure how they're going to figure anything out...

Monday... Heroes... Ep. 1-15... "Run!"
First of all, if you're going to Google "Heroes," watch your typos.
I like Matt episodes, but they spent too much time on Claire. I'm all about Hayden Pattycakeiere getting screen time. She's not a bad lil actress. But now that I know who her father is, I don't really care. I mean, what exactly has Nathan done yet? Not much. We know he can fly but he's only done it once to get out of trouble. We know he's Peter's brother, which right now is the most exciting thing that can be said about him. And he slept with Nikki/Jessica. Way to hit that! Even if it was blackmail. Meanwhile Claire visits her mom, finds out her father is going to show up, and sneaks around to listen in on them. She has a little bit of hope when she overhears him talking about her, but gets sad again when Nathan tells her mother that she did the right thing, sending her away. Wow, I jumped far far away from Matt. More on him in a bit.
Speaking of Matt, does anyone else think his wife looks like she could be Jennifer Garner's chunky sister? (Which is also weird because the guy who plays Matt [Greg Grunberg] was on Alias with the actual Jennifer Garner.)
It's about time Suresh actually did something besides walk around his apartment talking to himself and going on and on about his father and looking at maps. It should be very interesting to see what happens with him and Sylar. I don't understand this new power of melting things and why Sylar seemed so interested in showing Suresh after he stole it. And sure, I can go along with him following Suresh to find all these other people, but how is he going to kill them/acquire their ability without seeming suspicious? "Oh look another one died, aw. On to the next one!" Although, I guess if he just finds the list of people and where they are, he could kill Suresh, but I doubt it will come to that.
I'm trying to remember who Linderman is and what role he plays, besides linking a few of the characters. (I bet I forgot a lot of important details while the show was on hiatus.) But apparently Jessica knows him, because he hires her to kill the guy Matt is supposed to protect. Matt could hear Nikki and Jessica since they share one mind, so Jessica is able to kill the guy while Matt looks for Nikki. Luckily Matt heard the guy think about where he hid the diamonds, and he keeps them to himself. I wonder if he'll really keep them. Chunky Garner might object. I kid, she's a sweet gal.
Missi Pyle is still weird looking, and it's a shame that Ando is so horny that he'll go after anyone with boobs. Hiro is stuck in a closet until it's opened by Dauber, who is Missy Pyle's gigantic and sometimes half-naked boyfriend.
I may be wrong here, but I think something else is going on with Meredith (Claire's real mother). Nathan offered her 100,000. Then I thought I heard Meredith say that he was going to give them $25,000, which Claire was going to get half of. Or maybe it was half of $50,000 and thats why I'm thinking 25. Anyway, she gets mad at the end after Nathan tells Meredith she did the right thing. and throws a rock at his limo. I thought for a second she was going to at least get a license plate, but it doesn't appear she did. she just hid and ran away. But Jessica now has instructions to kill Nathan (go Jessie!), so we'll see what happens there.
I heard there were going to be deaths in the show, and I just read this about next week: After someone Hiro knows dies, he makes a tough choice about his mission. I guess it could be Ando. He's kinda boring anyway. But come on now, don't let it be at the hands of Missi Pyle!
(For the record, NBC.com's player sucks. Watch the latest episode my ass. It took 5 minutes to play a :30 movie trailer. Then it froze my computer. Why can't we just download a good copy of the episode if they're going to offer it for free anyway?)
