By far my least favorite episode of the season. A lot of treading water, story-wise, and the focus was on most of the boring characters (Peter, Mohinder, Matt). But we did have some interesting moments:

-Claire's real mom is Crazy Gina from "Nip/Tuck"! That's pretty awesome. Even better, she's a fire-starter, which should be exciting to watch. It also brings up some questions: Presumably she didn't die in the fire in which she "lost" Claire because she's immune to her own power (you'd kind of have to be, I imagine, if fire shoots out of your fingertips). But then why/how did she leave her baby behind? Perhaps it wasn't an accident, and perhaps she was in on it. Interesting. Also, I'm curious to see who Claire's daddy is. From what I've read he's somebody we know. So...Linderman, maybe? Nikki's dad? However, I also hear that Claire will never get together with Peter despite their crackling chemistry, which makes me wonder if they aren't related. So perhaps it's Nathan --- which would frankly be hard to swallow --- or maybe Papa Petrelli isn't quite as dead as we think. After all, powers clearly run in families. Maybe he's got a special ability that lets him cheat death?

�-Mr. Sulu is Hiro's dad! That's great casting right there. George Takei didn't need to say anything; he just stood there and let the disapprobation just ooze off. Next episode should prove very interesting, but I have to wonder: Has Ando outlived his usefulness?

-Mohinder says that his father identified 32 unique gene sequences that would�produce powers. Does that mean there are only 32 super-powered people, period? Because that I don't buy. We've already seen at least half of them, then, and almost all -- except Hiro and the Haitian --�come from the United States. That doesn't make sense mathematically. Maybe those 32 are the only ones Papa Mohinder found? I don't know, but that confused me.

-Random reactions: I hate Matt's wife with a seething passion, she says they need to "trust" one another when she's the one who's been jeepin'; we've got to move the Nikki-in-prison story arc along, as watching Ali Larter moan in a padded cell week after week does not make for good TV; not a fan of Inivisible Jackass at all, don't even find the actor compelling; Horn-Rimmed Glasses better not buy it next episode, he's too interesting a character to waste; Micah and DL are pretty awful actors --- the father/son scenes were wholly unbelievable. I think Micah's mostly to blame.
