if Lindermann turns out to be Nathan's real dad? Heroes officially becomes the fandom with the most incest EVER. HAHAHA! I had that thought too!
Mr. Bennett is of course the good father, protecting Claire at his own expense and acting rather paternalistically to Matt and Ted. Mmm, yes, but it's interesting that Mr Bennett himself seemed rather creepily attached to his daughter to begin with--I definitely felt an incest-y vibe with that family to begin with, and he is abusing his wife... I mean, I love him, but even the 'good' characters have their creepy 'cest-y side.
we hadn't, I don't think, seen any self-sacrifice in that protectiveness before. Good point! I was wondering why I was loving that scene so much. I was just fixated on how much better than Nikki she seemed...
I loved the fact that Hiro is realizing that changing the timeline might not be possible, and that it would be a good idea to investigate more before jumping around in time again. Yeah, that was encouraging to see.
I took Isaac's sacrifice at face value--it may well have damning consequences but it makes sense to me that HE thinks he's doing the right thing. (I ramble about that a bit more in my review.) It remains to be seen whether he's being Mohinder-like in doing the wrong thing for the right reasons or he's actually going to be a lynchpin in the undoing of Sylar. I'm actually inclined to think the show may go the 'lynchpin' route with his character. One Mohinder is enough, surely! ;-)
