Just had a thought. Since Noah has been completely healed by the regenarative process, he shouldn't need glasses anymore.

Interesting point.

Nah. The regenerating process doesn't correct genetic defects, like misformed eyeballs. They'll grow back as out-of-focus as before.

Are you sure? Kensai never got cancer, which is a genetic defect.

This healing power fixes structural damage to the brain (restoring memories, fine motor function, and personality). It prevents bacteria from infecting the body while the body is dead and stops rigor mortis as well. It monitors outside forces on the body and only corrects the defect of death when the means of death has been removed.

I'm pretty sure it can handle a misformed eyeball.

At the very least it would fix at least one of his eyes. After all, one of them was blown out completely, so that one's been grown from scratch. Since bad eyesight is often a degenerative thing, having grown a new eyeball from the original genetic blueprint would leave it in good condition anyway, and it'd be years before it started to go downhill.

Besides, I stand by what was said above.

but then, we don't naturally regenerate because our cells are retarded and don't remember what used to be over a few cells from where they are now. or something like that. it was dark in my biology class and I have a tendency to fall asleep...

Of course, I still don't know why the donated blood regenerates a person according to their own DNA. It should regenerate them according to the blood donor's DNA. So Noah might have Claire's eye now.

(At least he wasn't shot in the crotch.)

That would create an issue. Like, would they still refer to him as the Man in the Horn-Rimmed Glasses?

My favorite line:

Maya(In English): It says you murdered your mother, but I know it's not true.
Sylar(In English): It is true.
Alexandro (In spanish, because he can't speak/understand english): <See! He confesses!>

I missed that the first time around. My money's on Hiro biting it in a heroic effort to get peter to see the light. He fails, of course, and peter doesn't realize he's been set up until Adam nearly releases the virus. The scene with Sylar getting his powers back will come at the very end of the next episode, if at all.

Nah, they won't kill Hiro. And unfortunately, they won't kill Peter either. It's a shame, because every time I see him this season I dislike the character even more. I'm thinking Bob, Elle, and Maya all have a pretty good chance of being offed- though, maybe Bob and Elle don't count as "heroes"?

Also, I think Mohinder needs to get on curing what REALLY seems to be the plague going around- his stupidity. It's apparently contagious/spreading.

Also- wtf with Monica? That was awful. She hadn't taken the time to brush up on her smackdown skillz?

As much as last episode pleased me in ways I hadn't been pleased since a couple of episodes before the season 1 finale, this one just frustrated me. And not in the good way. And with their track record, I don't expect this wrap-up to ease this season's growing pains at all.

I still thought it was a good episode. But then again I'm not expecting anything huge, nor am I criticizing every little flaw. I really like Hiro, and I would be super happy if he did cut peter's head off. That'd be great. :P Sadly though I know they won't do that. I also don't think they can kill of Hiro so unjustified by randomly having Peter kill him. I would think that the writers are good enough to not develop a character that much just to kill stupidly. But at the same time, if they do kill him it wouldn't surprise me.

Also, I feel sorry for Elle, she just needs some lovin! Her dad's a douche and she'd been in an institute her whole life. Sociopaths need love too!

Personally, I was disappointed that Claire didn't beat her senseless. It looked like she was going to from the previous preview.
