Two weeks has passed since the last episode that aired sometime in December. Nothing all that climatic occurred in this episode, but it wasn't a bad thing(Peter's part is an exception to the climatic statement...man I didn't SEE that coming...Super witty pun intended).
I liked the show. Of course I wanted more out of it but I'll admit that the story development is moving at the perfect pace. Hiro once again shines when deciding to steal the sword for a better good. Then again when the events that took place thereafter.
This episode we learned:
1. What everyone has been doing for the past two weeks. Nikki is in prison, Jessica tried to escape. The policeman tracked down Sylar but failed to present him due to Power Blocker (With a Heart) Guy. Hiro did some research and decided he needed a special sword. Micah got in a fight at school because of his psycho mom (see first sentence in this poorly fragmented paragraph).
2. Claire wants Zach back.
3. Claire's dad doesn't really work for a paper company. O.K. so we already knew that. We still don't know for sure if he is a bad guy or a good guy? I'm leaning towards bad after this episode.
4. The painter is no longer a junkie. He doesn't need that stuff anymore. He is still in love too. I wonder, where will the love triangle will go?
5. A lot of other stuff too.
On a side note, did anyone else look up the website or call the number on the business card that Claire's dad gave Mohinder?

Didn't Sylar escape in the last episode? I mean, he smashed that girl's face through the glass, I simply assumed that he was able to make his way out of there.
I dunno, maybe these are things that are resolved in the online comic (I'll just catch up when they're all collected in trade paperback form) ... Also, I'm a little disappointed that they pussed out on the Hiro vs. Dinosaur battle; oh well.

Actually, you are correct. They answered it in the online comic after Eden died. If I remember correctly, they showed Sylar hit with a bunch of tranquilizers with the Haitian nearby.
(edit) - I visited the website. This really makes me think of "Lost", with the fake websites and "clues" and such. Not terrifically original.
Apparently someone at NBC thought the whole Lost Experience game with the Dharma Initiative did well for ABC. It will be interesting to see if they answer some questions ONLY in the game. As pointed out regarding Sylar's capture, they are putting relevant plot information in the online comic.
I don't think this is the last we'll see of Hiro and the T-Rex. Looking at that painting, it looks like got the sword drawn when facing it. I think that shot today was a miscue so as to keep us surprised when it does happen. The S-logo on the sword hilt is interesting.
Claire trying to re-connect with Zach screams bad idea that is waiting for her daddy to find out. (especially with respect to the videotape evidence that indicates she remembers her past). What's the protocol when you find out your Haitian is stepping out of line?
Peter's being monitored, but by who?
You believe me, don't you? Please believe what I just said...
I tried the website; it's a very basic one that on first glance looks like it's for a real paper-products company, although it doesn't have anywhere near enough detail to be taken seriously by someone who is paying attention.
If there's anything interesting or storyline-relevant about it, I didn't notice it.

Well there is this under the jobs section:
Please enter your invitation code to apply for open positions with Primatech Paper.
Then it has a section to type in a code. Red herring? Or is there some sort of code out there?
As for the episode, it was a good start after the break. Enough of a re-cap, with a hint of what's to come. The "invisible" guy reminded me a bit too much of the subway ghost from "Ghost".

When Mr. Bennett is talking to Mohinder he gives him the Primatech card and tells him to call the number and press the Access code written on the back. Mohinder does not turn the card over for us to see, but I presume this would be the code the job section is referring to.

Also, I don't know if anyone noticed, but right after the close up on the card, an NBC ad popped up in the corner of the screen advising viewers to text some number. Apparently, if you sent a text message to that number, you received the code 'mt36', which, if you enter that value into the PrimaTech website, allows you to fill out a 'job application'. Apparently, if you provide an e-mail address or mobile phone number, you'll recieve messages in the coming weeks that will relate to the show/game.
You believe me, don't you? Please believe what I just said...
