+ I have rarely found myself caring much for the newer characters, so I was surprised by how much I liked Monica. Then I realized - she's a bit like an early-S1 Peter - all "I'm meant to do something important" and (I suspect) thrilled with rather than freaked out by her power. (Of course, it's an AWESOME POWER. If a little meta. "I learned it all on tv!" Heh.) I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that it was that very thing about Peter that really hooked me on the show originally (then it just turned out to be awesome, and I was just hooked period) because deep down, I'm still a little kid in the sense that I STILL WANT A SUPERPOWER and while I wouldn't go to Sylar-lengths to get one, I might happily sacrifice a limb or something. All this to say: I like the rare occasions on this show when powers are something the characters are adorably excited by.
+ Considering how much I do love Peter, it is a testament to how much I hate his current storyline that I did not miss him AT ALL.
+ Nathan continues to pick up the emo-slack for Peter, though, and it makes me want to squish him like I do my cat.
+ Was it just me, or did it look like Micah was trying to "fix" Monica when he hugged her? Because, WOW, if so, that's both adorable and sad, and makes me love Micah even more, that even though he's been through so much himself he'd still want to fix someone else's broken dreams.
+ West has skeeved me out since the beginning, and I only grow increasingly convinced that he's evil. He was stalking Claire for longer than the one time she caught him at it, so my theory is he knows full well who her father is, and is getting her close - and simultaneously cutting her off from HRG - for that very reason.
+ Matt's father = scary bad nightmare man! I did NOT see that coming. Also, very cool double twist - first that Matt's father was involved at all, and then about who he is.
Um, that's all. Except, I refuse to read spoilers for this show, but I wish I could selectively read them to find out when Nathan and Peter are reunited, because a) see above re: hating Peter's storyline and b) it's going to be so awesome, omg the beautiful angst!

Point 1 - I am also strangly fond of Monica. I think I will like her storyline a lot. But they need to give Uhura something more to do. I'm sure they will, since I refuse believe they would have someone that well-known just sit around and be someone else's Grandma. I'm interested to see what power she'll end up having. I'm not a Trekkie or anything (far from it), but I'm liking the little cast reunion thing they've had.
Point 2 - I was wondering how you might be taking the total lack of Peter last night. I actually like his current storyline and am intrigued by how it will play out. You just miss the hair.
Point 3 - Thank God he shaved the beard. That's all I have to say about that.
Point 4 - Yes, I got the impression that Micah was definitely trying to "fix" Monica. I almost cried, mostly because it's so totally something that Grant would do. My little sweetie.
Point 5 - Amen.
Point 6 - I saw it coming in the milliseconds before it actually happened, which is my favorite kind of thing about any mystery. I don't like to know about it waaaaay beforehand, and I'm usually disappointed by complete, unforeseen surprises. But if I connect the dots right as everything is playing out then I get that wonderful "OMG, OMG I can't believe what's about to happen... Yes, it happened!!" kind of thing going. And it usually involves me yelling at the TV as I'm figuring it out. Just ask Vance.
Now, on to House...
