Heroes, One Day Later.

[monotone voice]Oh, darn. Nathan has been shot. If only he had an illegitimate daughter whose blood can bring people back from the dead.[/monotone voice]

And, seriously, Hiro creeps me out now. Because that thing he did to Adam? That's crossing a line.

What happens when a man who regenerates suffocates to death? Is it like brain damage? Will sweet, sweet oxygen revive him?

And why don't people think about that rather than Claire's regenerating hymen?

Maya turns out to have been a totally wasted character. Perhaps if they'd been able to build up the possibility that her weeping disease would be the world killing virus instead of the Shanti Virus, if either Peter or Sylar got ahold of it, it would have totally be a repeat of last year. At least she was cuter than the unibomber.

Niki is, well, badass. Takes out the gangsta's knee and pistol whips him into submission. Damn. Shame she then died.

Of the two possible demises in this episode, I put hypothetical money on Niki's actually taking.

Nice touch of the symbol appearing in the ashes when Peter nuked the virus.

I thought I remembered somebody mentioning that Adam's blood works as a one-time curative in other people. But Peter's could be a substitute, you're right. And hey, if Parkman could live after taking four in the gut last year, anything's possible.

Whether Claire and West can get to Nathan in time is debatable; I thought they were still in California. Regardless, we still don't know how fast West can fly (Nathan can/could presumably haul ass -- literally, since he carried Parkman all the way to Texas.)

One more thought: Sylar, thanks to the cure, now has Adam's and Claire's blood in him. That could be bad news.
