You know what the most interesting idea of the entire episode was? Naturally, it was the thing they did the least with. Gina, the third personality residing in Ali Larter's tall-drink-of-water of a body. Her introduction just blew the doors right off that character: Imagine, she could contain a multitude of personalities, all fighting for the same corporeal shell. What if Niki isn't the strongest? Maybe there's a dirty dozen in there. In a flash, she went from the Hulk to Sybil — if Sybil were also home to a go-go coke fiend. I could watch an entire television series about the war waging within a young woman for dominance of her body. (Good thing Spielberg is working on a series for Showtime called The United States of Tara.) And it was nice to see D.L. step up. A fireman, while a little on the nose for a show called Heroes, was a good career choice for the man who can't be touched. Sad to see him buy it the way he did — so pointless, especially considering that he had as much time to go intangible before the L.A. club guy's gunshot as he did before the punch. I'm going to miss D.L and Niki as a couple: It's always nice to see a healthy — or what passes for healthy, considering their peculiar power peccadilloes — interracial couple on TV.
Okay, I guess we need to talk about Maya and Alejandro, right? They've got to have a fan or two out there, so here it goes: That was a pretty kick-ass wedding — or should I say funeral? — they threw on the Universal backlot. That's all I got. She kills people with her crazy tears. We get it. As they say, crap or get off the pot. (By all indicators, the producers have chosen crap.)
Last, why can't anyone see that Bob the Alchemical Brother is a slimeball? If that dude came up to you and offered you anything, would you entertain his overtures? Would you get into bed with him — figuratively speaking, of course? (But if he's your type, go literal and have a great time. Just be safe, and don't take any pills.)
Okay, questions: Why didn't Peter take off when Elle and the Haitian were chasing him and Adam? (The Haitian wasn't all that close.) Speaking of the Haitian, why doesn't Peter have his powers, too? Or Adam's? And if Elle has lived her entire life in that compound, how'd she know to work the streets in Ireland so well?
