Oh, and body control, astral projection or "possessing" would be good too - being the power that I initially thought Jessica had over Niki. They would be conscious while doing it though (otherwise v boring to watch), but have a sort of subroutine that would control the second body, act and speak for the possessee etc.

This type would be useful against Sylar. Or Niki, for that matter.

Sylar's made a friend, ahhh! Begin here the Mohinder/Sylar slash-a-thon.

I'm liking Eyebrow Boy's new molecular disruption power.

This weeks episode seemed a bit slow though. Claire doesn't get to meet her Dad, or even actually see him properly. Hiro and Ando do the whole "wander around Las Vegas and get into trouble" thing they'd already done a few weeks back (wasn't Simone supposed to be sorting out a meet with Linderman for them?).

Matt versus Jessica was okay, although (again) I'm getting a bit tired of everything ending badly for him. Just once it'd be nice to see him come out on top (finding diamonds which are going to flagrently put him in Jessica's cross-hairs is hardly a stroke of good luck).

I really think things aren't going badly enough for Parkman. I think his hapless everyman noggin should have an encounter with a certain pointy telekenetic finger, if you catch my drift.

If Sir Alan Sugar really did have all the many powers of Sylar, he would probably have been able to sort himself out with a decent phone system.

I don't care, I like Matt. I like that his having a lousy time goes hand in hand with his being heroic and nearly cool, even if it is only protecting a sweaty, grasping minion of Evil.

Linderman had better turn up in person soon because all the foreshadowing is pissing me off. It's like waiting for Sephiroth to appear in Final Fantasy VII. [/awful geek]

One would think that Mohinder might get a little suspicious when the man he's travelling with talks him out of going to the cops whilst, at the same time demonstrating all the hallmarks of having just acquired super-fucking-hearing from the brain-less cadaver round the corner.

(sigh)

Still, I like Ted's new League of Evil Mutants.

"Ted, you're radioactive!"

Still, I like Ted's new League of Evil Mutants.

Weeell, him and Matt. I'm not sure if Hanne's gone to the house with them.

(Hanne, btw, has her introduction in one of the online comics, she's rather groovy).

Supersenses! Have they got someone with supersenses?! It's like they're granting my every wish, bless them ...

It's headfuck trying to work out which thread I can look in and avoid spoilers. I'm presuming this is the correct place for the current run on the sci-fi channel in the UK.

Anyway, episode "0.7%" this week, where we find out Linderman's plan. Fabulous stuff. Loved the fight between Silar and Peter, and the shape-shifting manga skirt girl (much better bad girl than old elfin chops) abducting the little boy was nicely done.

I'm slightly worried that now we have a character with life restoration powers everyone has now become essentially immortal, which might take a bit of dramatic tension away.

Linderman's plan sounds very much like Ozymandis in Watchmen. Is there really any point attempting a Watchmen film after Heroes?
