2.06 "The Line" Spoiler Discussion Thread

[DigitalLeonardo]

Peter goes on a search. West convinces Claire to stand up to someone. Hiro struggles with his feelings for Yaeko. Suresh has more problems with the Company. HRG tries to locate more of Isaac's paintings. Alejandro doesn't trust Sylar.

A good solid episode, though not as good as "Fight or Flight" but good none the less. I can say the Claire story line didn't make any sense to me. At all, but thats because all the actors picked to be the cheerleaders kinda suck. The girls in Texas were much more believable and didn't look like they were acting (Debbie acting drunk was a joke... The actress over played it.)

Ando! God he makes me laugh. The Hiro part wasn't too bad, I am glad to see him get his kiss (since he didn't get it with Charlie. So I am glad he took the risk and he kinda deserves it). The little twist with Kensai was also interesting, though I think the scenes are too slow pace and are just kinda lackluster.

Peter and Caitlin always good. I like them as a couple I really do. Though I have to say I don't like the idea of everyone in the future! (I guess Peter will meet up with Nathan?) Season 1 was so "save the future" and now season 2 kinda looks like the same thing, and it isn't THAT interesting to see the same thing work out. The time jumps are also a tad annoying, cause everyone is so spread out, it just becomes harder to track. (If you miss an episode you are screwed!)

Monica, god I was so scared she'd lose her powers! Mohinder! Gah, he still bugs me... And Niki at the end. Geez, she creeped me out the most and I am so interested to see whats going on with her. Is it really Niki or Jessica or an entirly new person!? Looks like she'll be getting more screen time (and from the trailer for next week, looks like DL will be getting some too).

HRG! Oh my god! I love him bad and that is what we got today! Though his action were shocking. I was on the edge of my seat the entire episode with his scenes. I was just in so much shock on his actions and how twisted he has gotten all for Claire, who really just doesn't seem to care about the family... It kinda makes you hate Claire a bit more.

Maya and Alejandro again were interesting. I love Sylar's twistedness! What he said to Alejandro that he'll kill him amused me so much, and I fear for the twins, but I am glad we had an episode break from them, and I think its good to have a few gaps between them cause they do become a bit repeated if you see them episode to episode.

Aww good episode in the end, but not as good as what we've seen.

For the first time, Claire's character lost some serious points with me. Hey, Claire -- remember how scared and confused and horrified you were when a man with impossible abilities sawed Jackie Wilcox's skull open right in front of you and then chased you down the hallway in the dark? I didn't think you did.

West is just more and more of a tool. He has this nice "they don't matter because they don't have powers" attitude that makes Sylar such a good citizen.

Speaking of Sylar, he can still bring the evil. And, yeah, he lusts for the Maya (but so do I ). I'm torn between thinking he'll get his powers back relatively soon and take the cure from Alejandro but leave Maya alone, and thinking he won't get them back all season until possibly the Season 3 tease. It was scary to see Maya so easily swayed by Sylar to moral compromise and murder.

Glad Monica keeps her powers, since her power is one of my favorite so far. KoolaidNiki is a bit offputting, but honestly, who wouldn't believe anything Ali Larter told them in a pleasant tone? In fact, was she actually kinda flirting with Mohinder there? Is that another plan the Company has for drawing him in?

Not cool with Bennet murdering people.

Oh HRG, how you own me. You are badass and willing to make hard decisions. I would have turned this show off forever if he had done something idiotic like agree to the offer to work with the Company again. Hello? Matrix? You can't be reinserted, duh! And sadly killing that guy was the only chance of protecting any of them.

I know this behavior only leads to total corruption, but watching him walking the line for the good of his family and others makes it that much more emotional and intriging.

Dumbass tool or not, this kind of person scares me more than the evil company. The company at least universally has no interest in anyone as human beings. West is likely to grow up and make it a personal mission to eradicate powerless humans. I really hate him and can't believe the show expects us to like him.

Speaking of people that suck, Mohinder is such a ninconpoop! Does he have the brain the size of a pea or what? First I can't believe he ASKED the Company to help Molly. If he'd gone in there demanding they do something, I could understand. But being polite and showing weakness and basically asking for a FAVOR? I can't believe he was going to do that to Monica (who kicks ass!). To lie to her face as well. What makes Molly more important than Monica? *sigh*

Hiro and Kensei's story is interesting, but too slow and drawn out. I hope Kensei's betrayal will amp up this story.

I sympathise with what he was doing, but was quite shocked by his aggression and anger, especially against someone whom he had a relationship with in the past. I think the most frightening moment was when he ordered the memory wipe of the captive's (name?) honeymoon and how he met his wife, that was... cold. And the following anger when he raised his hand after his captive's snark but was interrupted by Claire over the phone.

Does it expect us to like him though? I'm undecided on that. How can someone so annoying and unlikable possibly be there to be liked lol.. it just ain't possible. I have a feeling they want us to dislike him a little, given the painting of the future, I have a feeling he is going to slowly corrupt Claire.

Mohinder is a terribly stupid and boring character IMO, none of this was particularly surprising to me. And now he seems rather flushed over hottie Nikki, and if he is swayed that easily then he deserves badness.

Hiro and Kensei's story is interesting, but too slow and drawn out. I hope Kensei's betrayal will amp up this story.

I agree. The storyline is incredibly boring IMO and I hope this will give it some momentum, I just wish Hiro would die lol Along with Monhider I like him the least on the show. His character seems so desperate to me, almost as if he was constructed entirley to make the fans love him and that bothers me.
