Episode 5.


Summary (following comments along the lines of "which episode was that again?): This episode starts with Future Hiro and Peter in the train and ends with Peter on the phone to Present Hiro in Isaac's apartment. It also features Hiro meeting Nathan, Nathan flying away from Mr Bennett and the Haitian, the aftermath of Claire driving the quarterback into a wall, Ando meeting Niki, the first sighting of DL, Peter talking to Isaac and finishing his painting and Matt's date for his wife.

Previous comments: Nathan had to link to someone - amusing it's Hiro.

In more detail: Hiro and Nathan are a great team up: "flying man!". It's also good to watch the time travel sequence beginning to unfold and see the Haitian do a little more of the dark memory-altering stuff. I think my favourite moment of the lot, though, is Nathan turning around and coolly asking for $4 million instead of $2 million, just when you expect him to be at Linderman's mercy.

Character absences: Sylar and Simone.

Claire/Quarterback/Mr Bennett: Mr Bennett seems rather nicer in this episode - instead of killing the quarterback, he arranged for him to have his memory wiped.

Hiro/Ando: Good to see them team up with other people, even if it is only briefly.

Peter/Mohinder/Hiro/Isaac: Mohinder's had enough, just as the plot really starts. Meanwhile Peter's ability starts to become slightly weirder as he's obviously mimicking Isaac. Also, it's good to hear Isaac's "we must save her" line about Claire - he spends too much time moping about Simone for my liking. The ending is really good, the start of the conversation between Peter and present Hiro, but then I like most of the endings of the show.

Niki/Nathan: I liked their exchanges as they weren't over the top. Also the way that Nathan gets away from Mr Bennett and the Haitian is great. As is Nathan (somewhat) turning the tables on Linderman.

Matt/Janice: Hmm. My ideal date would be a bit more than food and wine. I found the whole sequence dull apart from the piece at the end when Matt convinces the gunman in the store to go home and then passes out.

Niki/DL/Micah: Family unit is starting to come together.
