Niki Sanders... you're going to die!

I have to say... when I read on Watch With Kristin last week that a main character (and two lesser characters) would die on Heroes in the next month... I got a little worried. And while I think Niki injecting herself with the virus makes her a bit TOO obvious... I'm hoping that they're trying to use some sort of reverse psychology on the audience and that she'll be the main hero to go. If it's a Petrelli... I will be irate. Mohinder? Don't even get me started. Same goes for Hiro. I think it's obvious that Parkman and Claire are safe... at least one would think so. So sorry, Ali Larter, but I hope both of your personalities kick the bucket.

I did enjoy tonight's episode. I also found it interesting that Sendhil Ramamurthy can even make a broken nose look hot. That takes skill... or really good genes.

Since I didn't write about last week's episode... can we stop for a second and determine if there was any significance to the fact that they went to ODESSA, Ukraine? There are many cities in Ukraine. There are three bigger than Odessa, actually. But first season addicts will recall that the Bennetts originally lived in Odessa, TX. There has to be some connection there... unless they're trying to mess with me... in which case, it's working.

West was, as usual, total creepsville. I hope he's scared off for good now... because he is certainly up to something.

Good call on my part that Elle's pops is Bob. Though maybe it was an easy guess. Now the bigger mystery is whether or not Meredith Gordon is her mama.

I am glad to see present-day Hiro is back in the picture. I was, as previously mentioned, really over feudal Japan. I forgot that he didn't know about his father's death though... sadness all around.

And Kensei? Or should I say Adam?? I do believe he personally killed Hiro's father... perhaps as revenge, if that works when you bend time and space.

And finally... Matt Parkman is usually not my favorite character, to say the least... but I could not be more excited to see what he can do with the extra power he has acquired. I can think of a few people I know who I'd like to trap in a nightmare....
