wow! just got done watching it and came straight here.
the episode was awesome. i reckon noah was brought back with claire's blood - i thought the blood pouch (surely not the right word here??) was significant, in that they showed claire's blood flowing into it, and then "somebody's" blood flowing out of it into noah. interestingly, how many times did we hear the name noah in this episode? surely you cant be confusing him now?!?
hiro, when he was chatting to his younger self, realised the folly of trying to save the life of somebody who had died. remember when the younger hiro was shocked/horrified at the idea of his father being dead, at his mother's funeral? he refused to allow his father to die, and as older hiro was explaining to him, that everybody dies (unless you're immortal of course), he argued himself out of his course of action. i thought for a second, older hiro was going to use this discussion to try and persuade his father, but then, i suppose adults cant be made to see right from wrong by a child can they? i was also impressed when hiro had the presence of mind to find out who the killer was - i was yelling at him in my head to do so, but he gave no indication that he would. until he did it of course. i also had a vague thought in the back of my mind that maybe the killer wasn't adam - after all it was bob, on behalf of the company who pointed the finger.
and mohinder. omg. after noah DIDN'T kill him for betraying their cause, this is how he rolls? sheesh. talk about gratitude. george bush junior indeed!
theres so much more i could talk about, but i'd be here forever.
ps. im glad noah's alive. he might just be my favourite character from heroes. the only one of them who could really be a real guy. did i mention i saw a spitting image of him one time in london, old kent road??
